Six Profit Plays Amidst Soaring Oil and Zooming Inflation [view article]
I am a freshmen, I think CEO may worth much more than current price for the high oil price.simple calculation:
Last year: turn over 100 Billion/Profit 35 Billion@ Oil price 66USD.
This year: @Oil average price 120 USD-> Turn over 100*1.1*120/66 = 200 Billion, 10% percent production increased considered.
If cost increases 20% due to higher PPI, and more tax. then the cost will be (100-35)*1.2 = 78 Billion -> profit will be 122 billion. Let put 22 billion aside for additional CAPEX investment. Then the net profit will be 100 billion, increase 185% than last year. At a reasonable P/E as 12, the price for CEO should be 359 USD. but the Price now is only 170 USD.
IS there anything wrong in the above calcalation, Please help to identify. Reply

Dow in Secular Bear Market When Priced in Ounces of Gold [view article]
Costing the Dow in gold gives us a measure of what the Dow has done in real terms i.e. when it is measured against the most reliable long-term standard of value. It is tells us how stocks have performed when you remove the dollar effect. By my calculations (similar to the chart above) the Dow has declined 72% since its 1999 peak with similar declines for the S&P500 over the same period. We've been hit by the double whammy of a depreciating dollar and lackluster stock performance in the last nine years. In other words, the investor who simply bought gold and held it in 1999 now has more than three times more money than the investor who bought and held the Dow or S&P - a sobering thought...Matt Blackman

Dow in Secular Bear Market When Priced in Ounces of Gold [view article]
I'm not sure I understand indexing against the price of gold. Sure, it's a kind of "panic" indicator. But wouldn't some basket of inflation measures make more sense? I'm not saying the full CPI, since we know how that's constantly getting tweaked. But some basket of well-understood raw materials & manufactured products would provide a more stable comparison baseline. ReplyDow in Secular Bear Market When Priced in Ounces of Gold [view article]
How to survive in this market- sit back and wait for a sign that the market is recovering; until then hold cash, a safety in this market.Here's a pretty good podcast on what to do during this market- check it out. www.greenfaucet.com/sh....
One of the main problem is that the classic safeholds in this market: coal, steel, bulk shipping, agriculture- are becoming less safe. Reply
Playing Gold and the ECB [view article]
A general market rally will be good for gold stocks. Where does gold come from, Mommy? From the producers. GLD is good as a temporary market marker--I'm in it, too--but for leverage you need the stocks. The smaller stocks will give you more leverage and they're down so low the market really can't hit them much more. The predictions this week are up, up, and away. We'll see.

So, does this mean that we've been in "deflation" since 1999? No wonder I feel like despite my increase in income since this time it has never gotten any easier to make ends meet. ReplyThursday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets [view article]
Why isn't there a ETF short/double short for Europe (the markets not not the currency)?Reply

I did speak with them and have passed your email to them for a response. Most of their people have taken off for the holiday and I expect a response next week. I can't guarantee they will satisfy your inquiry.As you know we spent most of our time with them on tracking issues and posted a table on Tuesday I believe. Reply
