Market Comments for March 19, 20081) As I suspected, the first sign of stock buying precipitated a major sell of in commodities. The moves down from the Sunday night highs have been breathtaking. Crude is down from $111 to $103. Natural gas dropped from $10.40 to $9.10. Gold has had its worst day in five

Market Comments for March 18, 20081) The price action of Lehman Brothers these days is frighteningly similar to that of Bear Stearns just before it went bankrupt. In the last week Lehman's share price has dropped from $60 to $20. At the very least this has to be considered a near death experience. Today CEO

Market Comments for March 14, 20081) Put buying on Bear Stearns (BSC) increased tenfold yesterday and so did the stock volume. In every financial crisis it seems that one major institution has to be offered up to the market gods for sacrifice before it ends. Bear Stearns is the most likely candidate this time. Goldman
