    Interesting perspective. I had no considered coordinate action to try to prop up the dollar. I just thought that currency traders simply "exhausted" their shorts and selling. Either way, the dollar's bounce sure has all the feel of a sharp, dead-cat bounce in an overall bear market. Reply

    Marc: Pretty clear in most of your thinking---but--

    "that suggest interest rate hikes are probably in the cards. "If these inflation numbers continue, the Fed is going to have no choice but to raise rates," said Matt Zeman"

    Please don't quote "Clueless Matt" anymore! If anyone thinks the Fed is going to increase rates into the teeth of credit "lacking" recession, he'd better ask the dealer to crack a new deck!!!
    Is he with a trading desk, or the last LaSalle division employee of GM??.     Reply

    Reading this article is a stern reminder why having a macro viewpoint and understanding the foundational movement of investments is critical. Gold and (especially) silvers corections aren't anything but typical and typically severe in a long trend movement. Gold is NOT falling because of a fear of rising US rates! The Fed won't/can't raise rates because of the almost instantaneous collapse of every variable rate debt instrument in existence. Mr. Zeman's notion that traders will not Buy because prices have fallen so far is truly amazing! And inflation "cuts both ways" for gold...!! Even in August that could lock down the dumbest comment of the year award.
    At these prices silver looks especially attractive (down 32% from its last high)...by the by..we really don't need the kind of pretentious doom gloom garbage and "final reckoning" nonsense of James Seaberg (comment above). Central Banks will do what they always do..inflate. The metals correction we see are really regroupings while the fearful and potentially insolvent hoard cash till the next burst of liquidity. You can't profit from the system unless you understand how it works...like it or not.     Reply

    a very good article of Mr Marc Courtenay!

    I might add that the central banks could react faster to the coming recessions in various Western economies. Unfortunately, either out of ignorance or corrupt insolence they let the Western hemisphere fall into a recession. Politics always strives of chaos. The central banks as dependent arms of politics together with the politicians, therfore, try to wrest more power out of the coming chaos and miserey of the people. The Fed already got more power from congress. And when the cries for help in the populace get louder the originators of the desaster will gladly come to help by spending more and raising more of the hard earned money of the etatist voters. They will also intervene more in our lives and control us more with ID cards and body searches.

    As the business cylce is created by politicians and their minions, the central banks, they both should be abolished. Politicians behave like enemies of the people. As they march towards the bitter end with us and against us, we should take this dip in oil and gold to buy more of it. Try to avoid buying on debt as you can get executed if you get a margin call.

    As individuals we can escape the final reckoning but the population as a whole cannot The multitudes of others who don’t want to know because they prefer the distraction of the Olympics will be hit hard. You might as well enjoy the coming disaster as you cannot change it anyway.

    Stephanie, kindly write an article on investment in gold/silver coins. I have no idea what Amarks are nor their investment potential. Thanks. Reply

    Marc,

    That same Thursday night, I couldn't sleep. Not because I was worried about prices. I was excited! And a little worried that there would be no silver to be had on Friday morning. I was prepared to not only show up an hour before the coin shop opened, but to call two other coin shops in my area if the first one didn't have any with the hope of securing some more silver. It almost happened on Tuesday, when all they had left was junk silver coins. They were out of the one-ounce rounds (all I can afford or the junk silver coins). Anyhow, I was the first and only one in line so far. The first lady who showed up was surprised to find me sitting there 45 minutes before they opened. I picked up some fresh Amarks that arrived the day before.

    You would not be picking up Ambien CR if you knew how these markets work. I do not trade, I hold for the long term.

    Do you mean get out or into wheat, corn, soybeans? I'm sure down, but waiting for an exit price.
    Guess you mean corn will be cheaper. Right?

    The market does not apply a large multiple to energy shares. For example, DVN is expected to make 12 bucks this year. But their PE has been 10 or below all year. Apply any reasonable multiple to 12 and look at today's price.

    We have a 10 year uptrend in crude, which is still very much intact. But all of the punditry writing for seekingalpha is from daytraders trying to extrapolate a paradigm shift from 5 weeks of correction. The analysts revising earnings are getting twitchy also. I agree with Mr. Stolz, this is an great opportunity to buy.     Reply

    It's always of interest reading what Zacks has to offer and then watching the markets to see if the majority of the "investors" followed that advice. Most mass movements of the majority point of view are usually wrong.
    My interpretation of the "Estimate Revisions" is that they are probably too bearish. The oil & gas sectors seem to be primed for stock price and earnings stabilization with a period of steady growth soon to follow.
    The "present time" affords a unique and unusual opportunity to acquire equity positions in very valuable companies. Take advantage of it!     Reply

    I remember not too long ago oil traded at $20 (right around 9/11). Now, people are saying $80 is cheap, because of demand from China, India, etc. People, those countries have been industrializing for the past 30 years. It's a classic case of short-sightedness to say that the recent 500% - 700% gain in oil is due to factors that have been around for much longer. Reply

    jim rodgers said that? I'm pretty sure every asset manager ever has said that, rather than the genius momentum investors who have gotten burned by the stocks featured. Reply

    You might consider adding Cabot Oil & Gas, Kodiak O & G, and Northern O & G to your list (symbols COG, KOG and NOG). These smaller exploration companies are diligently working the shales. Their reserves are only going to grow higher and higher. Reply
