Hot Option Plays: Are We Getting Toppy? After Hours

Posted: 17 Sep 2012 03:18 PM PDT

Cusick’s Corner 09-17-2012
The action continued to be tight and the market did come off the lows but there is not much now post the Fed that we could consider a catalyst. This move in the equities over the last 2 months has been impressive and has moved the risk/reward quotient to a point where many bulls might be having a little less of an appetite biting in these levels. This was abundantly clear today in the Crude markets where bids were hard to come by and it pulled back over 2.70%.

Housing Affordability Is Historically Very High

Posted: 17 Sep 2012 12:55 PM PDT

A recent analysis by Trulia concluded that buying a home today is 45% cheaper on average compared to renting a comparable home, see CD post here. That post generated a lively discussion with about 100 comments, and some questioned some of Trulia’s assumptions and analysis (or lack of some key assumptions), although I think the general conclusion is valid that buying a home is relatively affordable today compared to renting a similar home -whether it’s 10%, 20%, 30% or 45% cheaper.

Classic 1978 Milton Friedman Lecture On Trade

Posted: 17 Sep 2012 11:52 AM PDT

 
In the above 1978 lecture at Kansas State University, Milton Friedman discusses free trade, and explains why trade protection and interference in international trade are so widespread, despite the almost universal condemnation of such measures by the economics profession.

Professor Friedman also addresses the political obsessions with: a) increasing exports (e.g. President Obama's goal to double exports by 2015) and b) achieving a "favorable balance of trade."
