Oh, that would be Paulson. NOW after that little lesson is a couple of days old, Banks are worth 10% more in the final hour of trading, OK , I'll back up my truck, right after Paulson. And why the Hell would anyone even buy gold when banks are so cheap ?

PS Don't forget to hit Sell after you hit Buy, or is it Buy after you hit Sell, I can't even remember what I hit at 3:59...I really need afterhours trading so I don't have so long to remember...]]> Fri, 19 Sep 2008 00:07:23 -0400 Who didn't think LEH was worth more than Bear Stern's $10.

I would do things differently for gold. The shares seem to move faster, and the reasons to hold gold seem to be reasons not to hold the stocks.

So I have had success with DZZ, but more with HGD.to it's the double inverse of XGD.to (TSE gold stocks basket) there is an HMD.to (Mining in general) and HBD.to (bullion down) but until recently the volume was terribly light. (also for fun HOD.to oil down HED.to oil stocks down)

Then when the gold dust clears, take your profits and you still will have your gold. ]]> Mon, 11 Aug 2008 23:37:54 -0400

You think the hedgies don't use that exact word when they spread there little rumors.

Look I might be wrong, but to me this is time to play it a little bit safer. I hate giving more money to those individuals on wall street, but if I buy an expensive AAPL $2 or $4 Put to cover each 100 shares I hold, then I'm long with insurance (a little wall street protection money). AAPL moves up $10 or $20 and I won't even notice it's gone (to wall street).
Any comments would be appreciated...]]> Sun, 27 Jul 2008 07:59:52 -0400
