When the Ducks Are Quacking, Feed Them

According to CNBC, the Wall Street Journal is reporting (at 8:55 p.m. EST) that the Fed will accept equities and other securities as collateral to "calm financial markets." On the back of this report, S&P futures have bounced off their overnight lows.

Although I avoid making market recommendations at Financial Armageddon, I will offer one insight. If, by chance, equity traders show their usual lack of intelligence and analytic capabilities and try to hold the market up on the back of this news, then investors might want to keep the following saying in mind: "When the ducks are quacking, feed them."

So when do you think we should get out of the U.S. dollar?

p.s. I feel like I'm navigating a minefield. As a U.S. citizen, how do I protect my assets from the government? It's disgusting that I have to spend so much time and worry on this issue.

What on earth does that mean?

i.e., If ducks quack feed them??? I'm lost.

If the equity bulls are buying in the face of tonight's events, then sell to them.

LOL.

Keep an eye on AIG and MS aka Fatman and LittleBoy.

When to get out of the US dollar?

In November of 2005, but last week works as well if you are a short term trader. The funds set a record long position on forced buying, driving the dollar index up to test the support level around 80.40 that had lasted for thirty years, and which is now overhead resistance.

But "out" implies "in" to something else.

It means that if they're trying to prop up a building that is falling down, get out of the building. Better yet, short the building.
