Waiting for Financials' Other Shoe to Drop [view article]
Without US financials coming back, we won't see any reason to buy oil and commodity stocks. Demand destruction will continue to grow. While foreclosures may be at high rates, loans entering the default process (30-90 days late) are starting to slow down. The hysteria over foreclosures seems to be overblown. New loans aren't entering the process so if anything things are getting better and not worse as the general media seems to act. I've yet to see any facts proving that new foreclosures will get worst and exceed the reserves already taken by banks. Replyng

Thanks for a balanced article (hard to find) on gold. Brave of you, considering the gold bug's religious zeal.It seems absurd that gold and miners are plummeting at the same time the treasury is printing money at a blistering rate, but the market is irrational, and it looks like the trend remains down for now. I tried to "catch the falling knife" by buying miners a couple of weeks ago, but I think I'll take my medicine and get out for now. Reply

Excuse me, but what the hell are you TRYING to say (that is believable)???C'mon Bill, s..t or get off the pot.
If you WISH you had the intestinal fortitude to BUY gold/silver, just look around. The economy is in shambles. It isn't going to get better in MY lifetime. Therefore, my choice is simple: BUY it!
You, and anyone else in their 50s or younger BETTER buy it, because it will be UGLY if you don't!
But, please, don't whine and feel sorry for "gold bugs", we KNOW what we are doing! Reply

Bill Chara is an astute observer/commentator without the usual verbosity that often comes with analysis provided by many. The other shoe is yet to fall, and understandably a few others before the burdens are fully removed from the financial sector and the economy. Financial companies do not usuallydispose off their crown jewels when markets are limp. And, as has often been observed off and on crown jewels of a diverse nature and in diverse sectors.

You are right on! I'm avoiding financials too, and most retailers except liquor and beverages. The Fed is injecting massive liquidity into the system, but it's pushing on a string. No one want to make loans in this environment. Remember, housing and construction got us out of the tech bubble. With those pillars broken, I expect to see new lows in the markets below the 1999-2000 lows before we see the bottom. My guess is that we may see new highs in about 10 to 12 years. Oil prices will trade between $80-$120 during that time. The problem will be deflation, not inflation as the rest of the world lowers their interest rates while ours stays steady. The USD should rebound to 1.15 to the Euro over that time period. Many banks will likely fail. Unemployment could reach 7%. But in the end, the U.S. economy will eventually strenghen and recover. This is not Armagedden, but it will feel like it for quite a while. ReplyGold and Silver Turn Bearish: No Conspiracy Here [view article]
What Bill is really trying to tell you is that there's no conspiracy, but everyone is out to get you. ReplyGold and Silver Turn Bearish: No Conspiracy Here [view article]
Come on now, Bill! EVERYBODY HAS AN AGENDA. It's not like you have a book and trading advice for sale or anything. Some newsletter writers who like gold actually try to help their subscribers make money in the markets. Replyt

Gold and Silver Turn Bearish: No Conspiracy Here [view article]
Gold is quoted in Dollars, Euro's, Yen, Sterling and many other currencies. Very interesting is to take a couple of minutes and check out how it all looks in a non-dollar currency. Amazing is to see that all secular bull trends are still alive and well. Even for Gold expressed in dollar one has to wear special glasses to find a Secular Bear Trend! Having said this, $ Gold has during the past secular bull never breached it 64 week moving average. Taking this sell of and the month of August in consideration, I am convinced a lot of investors could be in for a nasty surprise as losses could swiftly be reversed. Last but not least, there must be some reason why the Professional Gold miners are ALL one after the other closing their hedge books. Maybe some financial advisors are not so stupid after all!

Many thanks for regularly sharing your insight and wisdom with us. History is filled with events where "the Little Guy" overcomes the gigantic odds placed against him by the established power structure - Jesus, Ghandi, King and the American (and French) Revolutions and the overthrow of Comunism by the Russian and Polish (Lech Wallesa) common men are only a few examples of the not so common, common man. Thank you for your honest daily commentary which contains the insight of your life experiance which you generously give freely but, more importantly, it is given in a most humaine and unselfish mannor. After all we "little guys" need only a few good men, of which Bill, you head the list!! Keep up the GOOD work for many more years. Your insight is a great and much appreciated asset in this era of BULLSHIT. ILLITGITIMUS CARBORUNDUM Thanks again.

So, you are right maybe, a guru maybe, god maybe, gloating maybe, but you still needed to show how good you are by sayin how bad Coxe was, you do not stand on your merits but on the mistep of another, you ain't got no class, guru or not ReplyGold and Silver Turn Bearish: No Conspiracy Here [view article]
If Gold tanks then the issue will be what next? When everything got commoditized we should have seen relativism coming. There is no downside protection. Deal with it. Reply
