Super Tuesday Links

I find myself doing fewer and fewer of these links posts lately, largely because others are doing such an exemplary job that my efforts invariably cover a lot more similar ground than they used to. Still, in an effort to leave no tern unstoned, I offer these perspectives, with several sources appearing here for the first time:

• Menzie Chinn at Econbrowser with a global look at inverted yield curves
• Paul Kedrosky at Infectious Greed considers how a live streaming web feed may decide the CNBC vs. Fox Business battle (and kudos to the soft-spoken business channel, Bloomberg TV, which I find considerably less annoying than the other two)
• Sudden Debt compares the surging China market to the South Seas Bubble
• Adam Warner at Daily Options Report examines FXI options
• Misstrade wonders if BIDU is the 2007 version of MSTR (whose plunge I remember all too vividly)
• China Analyst has a table of year to date performance of Chinese stocks that is worth a look

• Jeff Matthews comments on the bull market in analysts’ price targets for Google
• Barry Ritholtz of The Big Picture looks back at the Crash of ‘87

• stocktickr looks at tweaking trailing stops to enhance performance (personal opinion: trailing stops is the closest most of us can get to the holy grail)
• Dr. Brett (again, this time for the hat trick) offers his ten trading guidelines (make sure you have your own list handy)
• Paul Kedrosky at Infectious Greed looks at how to properly cite blog entries in academic papers (but doesn’t answer how these citations will affect Technorati ratings)
• Alex Ross at The Rest Is Noise, finds a graffiti artist after my own heart (and ear)
