      iShares Switzerland Can Ease Portfolio Turmoil
      keyword 'maybe' :)
      You have to account also for the fact that a strong Swiss franc depresses earnings of Swiss multinationals

      You are right about the swiss franc but the index usually moves in sync with other european indices. It is rare that it would diverge for long, whether that is justified or not.

      Maybe they should ban the selling of long positions too. Coming soon: If you own a financial stock long, you are no longer allowed to sell it! sorry but this ain't your papa's capitalism any more.

      SPDR GLD ETF Unloads 79 Tons of Gold - Should Investors Follow Suit?
      This selloff is all happening on the margin and is therefore temporary. The holdings of all ETFs probably amount to less than $25 billion, which is very very low. Once the forced liquidation by deleveraging hedge funds is over, the dominant news will be about the continued distress in the financial sector and gold will rise again.

      Oil Prices Down? Refiner Stocks to Benefit
      To Paul:
      Hey Rolex man, bug off with your stupid comments. This site is for grown ups.

      Stephen, I am with you. At sub 10x PEs, refiners are good buys.

      Hedge Fund Manager's Notebook: Blood on the Streets - Buy Russia
      Anyone stupid enough to invest in Russia deserves to lose all their capital. The "buy when there is blood in the streets" rule applies only in countries where there is rule of law. When oil goes down to $30 again, Russia will fall apart. You can't sustain a country spread over eleven time zones on a per capita GDP of $15,000 and a population expected to fall from 140 million to 100 million by 2050. Putin's wet dream of recreating the superpower is a delusion.

      Dollar Rally Won't Last Forever; Don't Give Up on Gold
      You had a downdraft from people who sold out of commodities funds and ETFs, which created selling in gold. If oil and gold were truly correlated, gold would have gone up between March and July, just as oil did, but it didn't. This is a technical sell-off. One the sector rotation hysteria subsides, gold will likely rise again. And once people face up to the fact that we are only in the 4th inning of this crisis, it will rise again beyond $1000.

      Gold Investment Fundamentals and the Transfer of Capital
      With CPI inflation at 5% and PPI at 9%, and fed funds at 2%, the case for gold makes itself by itself.

      Has Whole Foods Lost Touch with Its Customers?
      If you think the economy and stock market are rebounding, you have to buy it. If you think we will spiral down, stir clear. This may seem simplistic but I bet it's valid.

      Global Investing, BRIC by BRIC: Part II
      Martin, Martin, what happened? At Prudent Bear, you're all doom and gloom and here you make recommendations, as if the end of the world is postponed. Don't let me down, pal, I may have to get long again if you keep it up. Always good stuff though.

      Parsing Paulson: The Fannie and Freddie Bailout
      This is too complicated for my little brain. They should let them fail and be done with it. One of the rules of capitalism is to punish the foolish, incompetent and crooked.

      Treasury Bailout of GSEs: Laissez-Faire In Serious Jeopardy
      Buy gold and take a few years off. The Fed cannot control this problem which is too big, except by printing massive amounts of money. This means high inflation. Buy a wheelbarrow too, you will need it to haul the cash you will spend at the grocery store.
