    6 Ways to Profit from a China Investing Strategy [view article]
    A very logical article but I if portfolios are bleeding, then an alternative strategy to investing is to sit it out in cash at the risk of underperforming. It is an issue of timing, the global bullish trend will return some day but no one knows when. This is not a normal correction or a normal recession, plenty of uncertainty ahead. What investing strategy to adopt? - it depends on investor risk profile and conviction of the investment merits. Reply

    Good article William , you expressed with better words what I am saying for a while in many posts I made lately.Even Warren Buffet took his precious time recently to give a conference to young american students ,i.e. the future of our country, and he explained them that the 19th century belong to UK , the 20th to USA and the 21st to China.I would add that the moment to invest in chinese stocks is better than ever as the stocks are in sale, for example look at FMCN , STV , EJ , FUQI and NED as well as solars companies( SOL , SOLF, TSL, YGE and many others).

    FSLR is American based in Arizona. LDK would be a Chinese Solar with with similar earnings but trading at a P/E of 18 versus 91 with eaqual growth potential. Reply

    You may give Pepsi higher points, but I'll stick with Coke. Reply

    Great article. The part on automobiles was especially interesting. Maybe GM shot themselves in the foot with their 10 year 100000 mile warranty. That's got to stimulate people to hold onto their cars longer (thus potentially sabotaging new car sales). Reply

    So let's see here. If I by all of these stocks, grab all the dividends and then sell the stocks, I will make around 0.9%. With the market jumping around 1% to 2% a day what a wast of time that would that be. Reply

    Safe Haven Investments Amid a Global Crisis [view article]
    I was invested in PMs in 1988, at no time did Platinum ever "drop to $100" in one day or any other time. It came close to a $100 drop and approcahed price of gold at the time, around $400. No one who could print such a thing has any understanding of markets, research, or historical prices whatsover.

    But then, Marc Anthony is very poorly researched and has very shallow understanding of all the topics he touches on. Platinum's source for example.

    Anthony recently this week posted on the SLV board that diamonds are made in Hell and Platinum in heaven. His rationale? Diamonds undergo high heat and pressure as they transform one type of carbon to another, and because Platinum is a heavy element that came from 'space'. above.

    However, anyone with even rudimentary science, physics, chemistry, or astrophysics knowledge, is aware that platinum (like all heavy metallic elements in the universe), was created in Type1 Supernovae events where heat and pressures are enormously higher than those which create diamonds. The heat of a supernovae is 6000 TIMES the heat of the sun's core! Talk about hell!

    Anthony's contentions equating previous oil emabrgo to today, are simply incorrect. Gas stayed cheap after the oil embargo, so people went back to big gas guzzlers. Today gas will NEVER be cheap again, and the future is;

    a) Much smaller cars with much smaller catalytics that use much less PGM metals.
    b) Hybrids, electrics, and Ethanol fueled vehicles that will use much lee to no PGM at all.

    The Ford and GM sales falling off a cliff is merely a harbinger of what is to come. Smaller engines, with far less PGM metals in catalysts.

    So Cramer’s only willing to give that company four points, and Pepsi 4.5. Score: 4.5-4, Pepsi.
    Say did they reverse the points here? Or am i reading this wrong?

    8 Ways to Profit if OPEC Dumps the Dollar [view article]
    It is difficult to overemphasize the role of trust in a debt relationship. All the oil earnings and Japanese savings are on loan to the US; but the US, thanks to losses in the unregulated financial sector,cost of war, and imprudent consumption, cannot afford to pay anything on these loans. Once the lender starts getting negative returns, he'll look elsewhere. The Euro is the first currency that comes to mind, even though the European economies simply cannot absorb the trillions now in US debt paper. Hopefully, a new chapter is being opened from 2009.

    actually the US treasury debt is reasonably low and manageable (measured in terms of % of annual GDP) compared to other first world countries. What is alarming is the drunken sailor spending of congress and the way they want to pander to voters, buying votes with more spendoing funded by debt to be paid by America's young. The democrat candidate would like to blow the lid off public spending. There is no benefit he won;t promise to get more votes. And the bad news is there is no way he can tax the rich to pay for it. They don;t have enough to fund it. The middle class will continue to get hurt, and will have to pony up higher taxes and get hit with more AMT with fewer deductions and lower future SS & Medicare benefits. Reply

    Silver Analyst:

    Regarding the platinum price plunge in 1988, I cited the source in my article and even indicated page number (page 103). Go there read the USGS document regarding the event, in third paragraph to the end of page 103:
    minerals.usgs.gov/mine...

    On page 103: "In December 1988, the platinum market reacted strongly to an announcement by Ford Motor Company that it had
    developed a platinum-free automobile catalyst. Spot platinum
    prices fell to $100 per ounce on the day of the announcement..."

    It says fell to $100, not fell by $100. You could be right, but that was the wording of the USGS document. I may contact them regarding this.

    My long term chart of platinum does not show a plunge from $500 to $100 in 1988. Perhaps you mean a $100 drop?
