Buy commodities
Short the dollar because inflation will hurt it.

Well, here we are in a commodity meltdown and deflation/disinflation round!!!He has been wrong all of 2008 and since he is still singing the same song chances are he will land in the poor house soon enough. ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/107227-jim-rogers-on-today-s-market?source=feed#comment-312558 312558 Sat, 22 Nov 2008 14:16:53 -0500
He said he is buying into these markets because he feels like there is a climax selling going on.

Forecast often enough and someone on the Internet will dig up your "insight" and you will become a legend.

Everyone gets things wrong. Jim Roger's perpetual commodity bullish advice was disastrous to follow if you bought into it early this summer.

It pains me to say this, because I have immense respect for his analysis and occasionally prescient contrarianism. I have read and enjoyed his work for many years.

Jim Rogers will be proven right at some indetermined date in the future. Our problem is to determine when that advice is timely and how to preserve or extend our capital until then.

These guys simply need to wait for the charts to tell them what they should be doing instead of leading with their portfolios.

What I don't understand is what happened to the electrics being made by the REST of the automakers. If they were so successful, why didn't the OTHER car companies keep making theirs? ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/94845-cashing-in-on-the-electric-transport-boom?source=feed#comment-251368 251368 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 08:44:48 -0400 ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/94845-cashing-in-on-the-electric-transport-boom?source=feed#comment-251263 251263 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 06:08:54 -0400 ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/94845-cashing-in-on-the-electric-transport-boom?source=feed#comment-251136 251136 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 22:06:56 -0400 I guess they will do you a favor and remake an electric car and screw the suppliers. Wagner just got a 40% pay increase two months ago which brings him to $17 million a year. At some point we should figure it out, the money only goes to the executives at GM not the employes. If you are better off now than you were 8 years ago. I work 100 hours a week with no over time pay and my house is worth half of what it was worth 8 years ago. But if you want more of the same you should vote for Mcain.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/94845-cashing-in-on-the-electric-transport-boom?source=feed#comment-251110 251110 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 21:22:06 -0400
The only accurate part of the article is the statement that "It was costing GM anything up to $80,000 to build the car because the battery was so expensive ­ that was about twice the guide price of the actual car."

I wonder if Mr. Gleeson is ready for the bashing he will get from the GM/Big Oil conspiracy wackos.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/94845-cashing-in-on-the-electric-transport-boom?source=feed#comment-251042 251042 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 19:01:35 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/94845-cashing-in-on-the-electric-transport-boom?source=feed#comment-250582 250582 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 12:22:31 -0400
This is article is factually incorrect to the highest degree.

Also, the EV1 NEVER had a "petrol backup engine". It was a pure electric car.

Maybe Mr. Eoin Gleeson should actually watch "Who Killed the Electric Car" before passing comment.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/94845-cashing-in-on-the-electric-transport-boom?source=feed#comment-250499 250499 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 11:37:06 -0400
It was 2000 (starting in Dec., 1999) before GM was forced, by CARB, to start releasing some of the 465 NiMH EV1.

Even though these had inferior GM-Ovonics NiMH batteries, they had an EPA certified range of 140 miles on a charge. With superior Toyota NiMH, such as are still running in the Toyota RAV4-EV (last sold in Nov., 2002), the EV1 would have had over 200 miles range.

Add them up: Lead-acid, not NiMH, over 100 miles range, the batteries were NOT the problem!!

And 650+465=1115, not "800". At least you don't repeat the GM lie that "nobody wanted them, they didn't sell".

Perhaps you should study more, then I'll read the rest of this puerile article.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/94845-cashing-in-on-the-electric-transport-boom?source=feed#comment-250448 250448 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 11:15:46 -0400
An electric car means everyone must have 2 cars. Is that being green? I think not.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/88780-one-bright-spot-in-the-u-s-property-market?source=feed#comment-222995 222995 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 08:58:02 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/83217-could-poultry-farming-help-solve-the-food-crisis?source=feed#comment-222991 222991 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 08:56:29 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/83217-could-poultry-farming-help-solve-the-food-crisis?source=feed#comment-222992 222992 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 08:56:29 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/88780-one-bright-spot-in-the-u-s-property-market?source=feed#comment-221958 221958 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 02:38:57 -0400 "As of June 30, 2008, our healthcare portfolio consisted of 46 properties, of which 43 were facilities that we owned and leased to 14 tenants, and of which the remaining were represented by mortgage loans to 2 operators.
