  • Don't Miss the Coming Gold Bull [View article]
    Everybody and their grandmother is shouting about how gold is going to double or triple. Do markets usually do what everyone expects?

    I'm short gold for the short term (one or two months) until I see a few people saying that gold will not double.

  • Gold Prices Could Double...or More than Double [View article]
    As for the title "Gold Prices Could Double...or More than Double" ... yes, or gold might not even keep up with inflation ... as it has not done over the past decades. You could buy more bread or milk with an ounce of gold 30 years ago than you can now.

  • Dow Will Equal Gold in 2009 [View article]
    Now it takes 15 barrels of oil to buy one ounce of gold. Earlier this year it took only 7 barrels. Gold is expensive. Everybody is saying gold will go through the roof during a financial crises. So why hasn't it already? It's gone down more then $200 an ounce so far.

  • Why I'm Committed to the UltraShort Financials ETF [View article]

The question is, will it be worse than people expect it to be. People already expect it to be pretty bad. The expectations are already in the stock prices.

    The article was posted the morning after SKF made its all-time high above 211. Now it's trading 3 days later at 131. Have to have a strong stomach to ride it down $80 a share. Next time I might use this author's article as a contrarian signal :)

    "Disclosure: Long SKF, SDS, DBO, GLD, GOLDX, SZK and DAG."

    Well then ... I guess this was one of the worst days of your life in the market.

  • Thursday Outlook: Sectors and International [View article]
    Intrinsic value for INP is available daily on Yahoo under the symbol ^INP-IV. Thursday's close: 87.82, and INP closed at 107.10. That's a silly 22% premium. INP closed down 0.7% and IFN down 3.4%, so the spread widened even further.
