DeviantNinja · 03-16-2008, 10:54 PM

I read on Marketwatch that "Bear Stearns has a book value of $84 per share." What a deal...

DeviantNinja · 03-16-2008, 11:03 PM

According to Marketwatch, "Bear Stearns has a book value of $84 per share." Cant wait to see the value tomorrow. ..

As a trader I was taught to think about who benefits from messes like this. It is easy to say who is getting screwed, the trick is figuring out who wins before everyone else.

Things like Gold miners (as people flee to perceived safety of Gold) or community banks who now can lend deposits at higher rates without having to compete with securitized debt, yet get to pay lower borrowing costs because the fed is driving down interest rates. What about new start-ups or venture capital firms that now get to cherry pick their choice of talent out of the top universities since they dont have to compete since Wall St does not seem like a great place to work for those about to graduate. What about service industries denominated in US dollars that cater to Euro and Yen rich consumers. The list goes on for a long time...

I can think of a few dozen internet affiliate like segments that benefit and for which the smart people here are probably thinking - maybe I should do an email drop or set-up a landing page or <insert what you do> to drive traffic to these offers.

The people on this board who will never be rich are busy crying wolf on the US economy. Yes, maybe it tanks, but how do you make a few million as it does so? You can either be a spectator or a participant. Spectators pay the money to make those who participate rich.

So what now, snap up a bunch of foreclosure homes? Stock up on gold? Short US futures?

Priority_Mail90 · 03-17-2008, 12:30 AM

The expectation is that there will be a bit of a crash tomorrow, as of right now, the Asian markets are down 4%-5% (for Monday local time). And is usually a good indicator on how the US market will react to the news.

It is true that unless you are a participant you stand to not gain from this meltdown of the financial markets. However, the same can also be said if you don't participate you stand to not lose your ass.

Keep a level head, don't panic sell and if you need to be prepared to hold for a while.

Diorex · 03-17-2008, 02:10 AM

I was not suggesting selling or buying any financial instruments. The pros are already taking the best trades off the table, the suckers are the ones getting in now. I was advocating thinking about how you might be able to earn from this news in the field in which this forum addresses - internet marketing.

Tomorrow would be a great time to drop an Email about the merits of trading currencies or buying commodities - fear is a great motivator in marketing. Heck any finance related affiliate program should work if you spin the message right.

What about marketing US products overseas where other currencies have great buying power and our products seem really cheap. Just think about what you market and how to spin this news.

Market auto loans? mortgage? well rates are probably going up because of liquidity crisis - market that people should lock in now. Hell, market that now is a great time to lock in low rates due to Fed loosening. It does not matter what the message is, the average consumer has no clue. It matters how you market to them. If you make your message seem relevant with a call to action you win.

Or you can sit around and wonder how people like <fill in the blank> always seem to think of the good ideas, and that there is no money to be made on the internet anymore.

The only way to get rich by doing nothing is waiting for an inheritance... Don't have one of those coming? Well then doing nothing is not an option for you.
