  • Market Notes: All That Glitters Is Not Gold! -- June 6 [View instapost]
    Why palladium over platinum? Aren't there more uses for Pt?

    A lot of folks think that gold will stage a comeback which probably means it's going to fall even more.

  • Market Notes: Turning Japanese -- May 13 [View instapost]
    I certainly wasn't implying that Cuban is a stock oracle but he's no dummy, either.

    I've liked Ford for a long time--think they're better positioned than GM.

    Thanks for your views on NTI & EFR. I'm unfamiliar with EFR--any US equivalents? In the nuclear space, here are three US-based ETFs that are on my watchlist: NUCL, NLR, URA. Any thoughts on any of these?

    One caution with nuclear is that some countries are either cutting back or scuttling their nuclear programs entirely. Germany wants to completely replace their nuclear power plants with renewable energies. Here in California, the San Onofre nuclear plant near San Diego is being shut-down and nobody's sure how much this will boost power rates. I certainly can't wait to find out...

    Hi Galileo,

    Just wondering how long you've been a 20 year old sophomore.

    Robert,

    I agree with most of your arguments. The concept of central bank QE is window-dressing and really the only folks making money on it are the big banks. Anyway, that's another axe to grind.

    My point in the article was to take advantage of this situation to make some quick money on it. The recommendations weren't meant as long-term investments, only as a way to ride out the BOJ's QE program (which could end at any time). I probably should have made that more clear.

    Thanks for chiming in and taking the time to articulate your thoughts. Much appreciated!

    Dr. K

    PS--Not that this matters, but Mark Cuban bet the farm on Japanese bonds when the QE program was announced.

    I remember back in the Pleistocene when the Yen/$ was around 200:1.

  • Market Notes: Airlines Continue To Soar -- May 6 [View instapost]
    Most of the airlines have been stellar performers and still looking good.

    $WYNN is testing major resistance at $140. Just an FYI.

  • Market Notes: Semis On The Move -- May 2 [View instapost]
    Truff: This was a highly speculative recommendation and I don't advise anyone with anything other than mad money to play it.

    Chartwise, I'd take profits right here. The stock looks like it's going down. A break below $4.25 is a sell signal.

    TX to y'all for responding.

    Bruce,

    Thanks for reading the article and checking out my blog. I have no idea how Barron's selected me except that the writer said he thought I was interesting being that my background isn't that of your standard typical investment professional's.

    I'll have to take his word on that.

    Jason,

    You can see by this week's rush by the retail investor to buy physical gold and silver that people are desperate for some sort of yield. However, the market won't go up forever despite continued printing--valuation will at some point become a concern.

    Thanks for adding your thoughts!

    Michael,

    Thanks. Didn't know IB allowed that, but no surprise since they let you do almost everything else.

    Very sorry for your loss. Now you know why most brokers won't let the home gamer do this!
