Interesting Points from Julian Robertson's FT Interview [View article]
JR..Just a rational man who got his big start to wealth in 1982, at just the right time to participate in the greatest boom in the history of the world. Lucky for him.
Long AAPL, dumb in my opinion. It's like being long MSFT in 1999. Dumb.
I don't give him much weight. Sorry, I just don't.

AAII sentiment has 56% of folks bearish on July 8th. I had gut feeling that was too high for market to fall further. I should have followed my gut and lightened up on my shorts.
VIX going up with the market today is interesting.

What's inflation again? What's the interest you're getting in your savings bank? How much money does FDIC have left before it runs out and no longer will peoples fiat savings be safe? How much does the US pay for its global empire building each year and how much do we need to borrow from China? How much was it congress gave the treasury to increase the US debt? What's next years budget deficit again? How does the saying go, he who has what make the rules? What's M3 up to? .. oh yeah, they don't publish. How much more does housing need to fall to get back to normal valuations? What's the total equity left in US residential real estate? What was it that Helicopter Ben said he would do to prevent deflation? ( I left a hint in that one)
Those who don't know these answers will think gold has peaked. Those who have knowledge know otherwise.
Wall Street can be looked at as a place where smart people take money from dumb people.
Great stuff,article and comments. I've been watching the VIX and I'm a bit surprised it has come down as low as it has. I found myself to be a buyer of short funds, SKF, SRS and DXD these last 2 weeks. I do think that this momentum will reverse.
Investor psychology Vs. economic reality will cause stocks to go up and down over the next 3 years as it ultimitely comes down at least 50% in my opinion.

Gold Above $1,000: Indicative of an Imminent Market Fall? [View article]
Soon, 50% of all mortgage holders will be underwater. Completely broke and earnings less money than before if they are lucky to have a job.
When the write downs come, I suspect the dollar will rally as people scramble to get dollars to pay down their debt.
The debt is still there. Equity can easily evaporate and I suspect at some point, we will see a massive liquidation and monster crisis.
I put time frame between now and as late as end of 2012.

$880 gold and XAU at 103 .. ok, so is this not the most extreme disconnect ever?

All year long has been this degree of randomness of "bad things happening."
The XAU/Gold ratio I did not realize was at such an extreme. Will be very interesting to see how it all plays out.
