...Also wanted to say that since the high oil prices are unprecedented, and no end in sight this doesn't seem like a normal cycle. Countries going from 3rd world to middle class is unprecedented. They all need oil, especially if they are all going to drive cars. The price of oil will affect everything.

I felt that was pretty sefl expanatory but since I confused you here is the cycle I thought I described above . smart money buys at panic bottoms sells at euphoric tops , waits for crash in cash and shorts market on way down and then buys at bottom and waits to redistribute at top again . Any questions?]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/78721-time-to-abandon-stocks?source=feed#comment-174032 174032 Mon, 26 May 2008 11:52:57 -0400
You are right, there is no shortage of opinions here...not all of which I agree with.

"Let me guess, Cathy. Your firm recommends primarily equities."....it's really never wise to presume.....no, you are wrong. My clients portfolios are fairly balanced between equities, fixed income and alternative assets. Good try though.

huh? you are contradicting yourself. the rich always get richer when the sheeple who read the WSJ or BUSINESSWEEK panic and sell - the smart money is there to get the shares at a discount.
its pitiful, really.

i love articles like the ones in the WSJ and BUSINESSWEEK. they signal a turnaround in the market. when they yell "BUYBUYBUY" , its too late to the party and when they "SELLSELLSELL", you are probably leaving way to early.

no one can predict the stock market, folks.
want to succeed people? be nimble. learn how to short stocks. make money whether the stock market rises or falls, but let's all remember - the stock markets TEND TO RISE, and the OVERALL LONG TERM TREND is RISING. walk carefully, and don't listen to the chicken littles (who would have you digging a fallout shelter - geez!). ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/78721-time-to-abandon-stocks?source=feed#comment-173944 173944 Mon, 26 May 2008 08:50:03 -0400 For Global Diverisification I highly recommend three well-managed 'global' American Funds:
* Capital Income Builder (CAIBX: for global equity-income),
* Capital World Growth & Income Fund (CWGIX: for global growth & income, an extremely well-managed portfolio of the world's most profitable, dividend-paying, dividend-growing equities) and
* New World Fund (NEWFX: for global equities benefiting from the growth in the 'developing world').
These three proven long-term funds are managed by Capital Research & Management (American Funds) for 'long-term global equity investors'.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/78721-time-to-abandon-stocks?source=feed#comment-173867 173867 Mon, 26 May 2008 02:15:38 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/78721-time-to-abandon-stocks?source=feed#comment-173812 173812 Sun, 25 May 2008 23:50:51 -0400
To Britishsteel: There is no more gold held by either the U.S. in Fort Knox or by European Central Banks. They both sold it all off under the urgings of Paul Volcker a number of years ago. (P.S. If you read recently that European Central banks were selling off gold bullion don't be fooled - in actual fact they were selling gold bullion they have BORROWED from private individuals, corporations and countries that have it stored in their vaults - with a promise to repay those holders at a later date.). In the long run , as long as the U.S. maintains its current economic and financial policies Gold will not decline significantly or to any other degree against the U.S. currency.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/78721-time-to-abandon-stocks?source=feed#comment-173811 173811 Sun, 25 May 2008 23:42:46 -0400

True inflation is fluctuating between 7-12%.

As the US dollar has lost ~30% of its value since January 2000, any real gains in stocks as per your numbers are looking rather thin!!!]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/78721-time-to-abandon-stocks?source=feed#comment-173758 173758 Sun, 25 May 2008 19:50:22 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/78721-time-to-abandon-stocks?source=feed#comment-173721 173721 Sun, 25 May 2008 18:19:23 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/78721-time-to-abandon-stocks?source=feed#comment-173716 173716 Sun, 25 May 2008 18:07:56 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/78721-time-to-abandon-stocks?source=feed#comment-173697 173697 Sun, 25 May 2008 16:54:55 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/78721-time-to-abandon-stocks?source=feed#comment-173695 173695 Sun, 25 May 2008 16:51:43 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/78721-time-to-abandon-stocks?source=feed#comment-173676 173676 Sun, 25 May 2008 15:58:28 -0400 www.federalreserve.gov... and look at how the banks are 11 BILLION in the RED and you tell me should we still buying equities to help the Big Boys and old money escape from the pyramid scheme they created in their lust for ever larger returns and now are doing their dammendest to make the American taxpayer foot the bill? What piss's me off is not that they have done this so much ,is that the American sheeple DON"T seem to care or are aware and when you make them aware they look at you like you have 3 heads . The facts are there , look, research and learn. If you wish to enable the rich to get richer by buying the stock they bought from you in the last decline at a 50% or higher markup then go right ahead and buy it from them Bagholders.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/78721-time-to-abandon-stocks?source=feed#comment-173667 173667 Sun, 25 May 2008 15:43:19 -0400 If the market regression last ten years, it will disappear.

Unless tight monetary and fiscal policy is instituted, and quickly, the value of the dollar will continue to decrease.
3. Dollar-denominated assets (including cash,CD, and non-inflation protected bonds are likely to decrease in value
3. Some stocks will go up, some down, but the dollar is certainly going down. Choose your poison.
4. I am personally investing in hard assets,correctly-valued commodities, and solid Real Estate (yes, real estate.)]]>
