Once the deleveraging is over and the Fed further reinflates, the fact that we're in an inflationary environment will be more obvious.

Somebody needs to have their pulse checked. Highest foreclosure rate since the Great Depression? The middle class is dying!! Sure things look good for the rich Republicans, generally they are the ones taking profits on Freddie and Fannie and fleeing the room!!
Ridiculous!!]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/95560-best-currency-right-now-it-might-be-gold?source=feed#comment-255498 255498 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 23:20:51 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/95560-best-currency-right-now-it-might-be-gold?source=feed#comment-255432 255432 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 21:16:18 -0400 Gold is only a "commodity" in the broadest sense of the word. It's really MONEY. Looking at gold in a NOMINAL sense will NEVER take you where you want to go...look at it in a REAL sense. So..if the DOW is declining 4.42% (Monday, Sep 15th..2008) and gold is rising 2.6% on the same day tell me that gold is like zinc..or coal..That's nonsense.
Gold is an alternative currency....ignore it at your risk.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/95560-best-currency-right-now-it-might-be-gold?source=feed#comment-255214 255214 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 16:14:05 -0400
I am waiting patiently for the markets to tell me that they have bottomed. I might lose some of the upside, but I am not going to buy simply because things look cheap as opposed to last week. With that reasoning, I would be buying all the way down with commodities, foreign countries, foreign currencies and precious metals. ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/95560-best-currency-right-now-it-might-be-gold?source=feed#comment-255168 255168 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 15:18:30 -0400 How the price can decline during an apparent shortage is beyond me so I just keep buying it at every opportunity.The premium I pay now will be small change when the paper market implodes :)]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/95560-best-currency-right-now-it-might-be-gold?source=feed#comment-255164 255164 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 15:16:43 -0400
Finally.... The dominos fall and the dust settles and the admissions begin.. Read back on earlier posts for more revelations of massive intervention. Massive meltdown ahead...Bernanke and friends just postponed the massacre..

Its simply not right for someone to be so handsomely rewarding for destroying $bns in shareholder value. ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/83660-aig-the-success-of-failure?source=feed#comment-198861 198861 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 10:32:52 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/83660-aig-the-success-of-failure?source=feed#comment-198149 198149 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 14:34:23 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/83660-aig-the-success-of-failure?source=feed#comment-198107 198107 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 13:19:17 -0400
I think it is obvious that someone is missing the "simplistic" concepts at AIG. Maybe the board could use a lesson in breaking down simplistics because if you can dig in to the "details" and find a way to justify running a company into the ground and justify paying a bonus and salary to the CEO when the stock price drops in half then something is wrong with your "details"

How do they sleep at night? .... Probably on pillows stuffed with the average investors money.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/83660-aig-the-success-of-failure?source=feed#comment-198101 198101 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 13:12:44 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/83660-aig-the-success-of-failure?source=feed#comment-198076 198076 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 12:32:14 -0400
They are already doing these, so it will take some time to deleverage their books from uncertainties and rewrite new business again. This coming back will be the best advertisement to recruit new clients. ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/83660-aig-the-success-of-failure?source=feed#comment-197773 197773 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 08:26:14 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/83660-aig-the-success-of-failure?source=feed#comment-197733 197733 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 06:46:09 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/82620-sad-state-of-affairs-wachovia-calls-in-goldman-to-evaluate-its-loan-portfolio?source=feed#comment-195343 195343 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 15:06:32 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/82620-sad-state-of-affairs-wachovia-calls-in-goldman-to-evaluate-its-loan-portfolio?source=feed#comment-193798 193798 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 21:23:16 -0400 ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/82620-sad-state-of-affairs-wachovia-calls-in-goldman-to-evaluate-its-loan-portfolio?source=feed#comment-193652 193652 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 16:39:14 -0400
I don't think WB is nearly as good a brand or company, but there is value there that is not being calculated into the price. The hull of the ship is scraping the bottom of the sea and I think it will have to rise.

If this comes on the form of a purchase, I hope WB holders get a one-time gain that offsets their losses to a large degree.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/82620-sad-state-of-affairs-wachovia-calls-in-goldman-to-evaluate-its-loan-portfolio?source=feed#comment-192891 192891 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 19:50:21 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/82620-sad-state-of-affairs-wachovia-calls-in-goldman-to-evaluate-its-loan-portfolio?source=feed#comment-192700 192700 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 13:13:08 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/82620-sad-state-of-affairs-wachovia-calls-in-goldman-to-evaluate-its-loan-portfolio?source=feed#comment-192589 192589 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 11:21:21 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/82620-sad-state-of-affairs-wachovia-calls-in-goldman-to-evaluate-its-loan-portfolio?source=feed#comment-192560 192560 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 10:58:08 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/82620-sad-state-of-affairs-wachovia-calls-in-goldman-to-evaluate-its-loan-portfolio?source=feed#comment-192541 192541 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 10:45:01 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/82620-sad-state-of-affairs-wachovia-calls-in-goldman-to-evaluate-its-loan-portfolio?source=feed#comment-192430 192430 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 08:25:20 -0400
