      U.S. Dollar Rallies On U.S. Corporate Earnings
      I like your website Grace, nice layout - everything right where it needs to be. Good info. Brains and beauty! ;P

      I think the dollar is setting itself up for the rally of a lifetime, a lot of "trader" dollars have reached or are near their apex abroad and are slowly coming back into the country. Take a look at the reversal of FDI funds in India, just one example of how the billions are slowly flowing out of developing markets and back to America. Don't miss out of this awesome rally we are about to witness. Sell your commodities and foreign currency before it happens! You can see the urge to get back into the U.S. dollar and equities.

      Five Ways To Ride Gold to $1500
      I like GDX - moves nicely with ABX (Barrick Gold,) has a cushion of other holdings so the drops aren't as dramatic when gold flucuates but the rises are sweet as the individual miner stocks rally, especially considering we are coming out of the psychological barrier that has kept gold below $1,000 last few weeks, inflation should naturally take its course now.

      Gold: The Last Cheap Asset Class
      Why does Cramer keep using the magic number $1,600.00 when talking about gold? Does he know something we don't or is this just another one of his gambles? I personally think it will be the only thing worth holding as an asset if we slip into environmental chaos and governments lose control. Something we investors tend to forget about while all caught-up in the money game; our environment is being ripped to shreads by the developing world, faster than the West could ever! NASA officials have even warned that the Whitehouse censors data which suggest we are past the tipping point.

      Is Visa Really Priceless?
      Visa is a great company that will continue to make money; however, one must question the timing of the IPO and the amount of shares issued as stated in the article. I owned Visa a couple days after the IPO and sold after I looked a little more into it. Specifically, the litigation risks and number of banks that own it that are in debt.

      A $1Million Wager for Gold Bears
      I think gold's uptrend will continue as governments and people continue to purchase it and miners continue to have difficulties extracting as much as they did and as energy efficiently as they did in the past. Initially I thought it was way too expensive and was waiting for it to pull back down to 400 but saw that demand, especially from India, has been picking-up significantly. Now China is trading gold futures and as their currency rises and they have more purchasing power, you can bet the most popular metal with Asian will rise as well. Unless bird flu wipes them all out as predicted.

      Gold's Short-Term Uptrend is Broken
      Gold is pulling back because there is a lot of talk that commodities are the next bubble to burst, but this bubble wasn't created due to psychological phenomena like we saw with the Internet and housing. There is actually huge demand out there, look at what a lot of these countries are starting to do like halting all exports of certain commodities so they have enough to feed their own populations first. I'll keep my bullion but may sell my gold stocks until this bubble fear subsides.

      Chinese Credit Crunch Could End Commodities Run
      What about Canada? I'll be using my tax rebate to pay my outrageous property taxes which go towards our abysmal public education system by the way. If Obama is elected I'm guessing a lot of working-class Americans will be spending a lot less on stuff from China because they will be busy paying more taxes for welfare, failing schools, and prison costs. Anyone see the papers in the U.K. today? They are suggesting our economy is in another great depression. lol

      As U.S. Market Shrinks, Time to Look Overseas
      Let's just hope this new money keeps keeping the peace around the world. The culture and politics are vastly different in many of these new economies than that of the political culture here in the U.S.. The selling of women & children, eating of dogs and cats, murdering of adulterous women, and genocide aren't too common in the states. Oh, and we have a pretty good legal system that protects investors here in the ol' Jaded States of America. =)

      Asia's Shift Away from the US Dollar; Japan the Final Shoe to Drop
      Japan won't dump the dollar anytime soon, they are smarter than that. They don't let new money make them delusional as seems to be the case for 3/4 the planet. You think they sleep well at night knowing that China is set to outpace the U.S. military in terms of projected regional military capabilities? How about North Korea firing off those short-range nuclear capable missiles when Kim Jung thinks someone call him a bad name? People really need to wake-up from this state of delusion new money has put them in. It is beyond my comprehension that leaders in the U.S. have allowed decades of U.S. dollars to flow to their most feared enemies in terms of oil and junk imports. Obviously they don't look beyond the 10 year window or they would have seen China upstaging the U.S. military and the Jihadists building an financial empire on oil money. The only case I see for abandoning the U.S. is the fact that the country is being destroyed from within as the demographics and education system deteriorates into something akin to that seen in "third-world"... nations.

      Solar Stocks Show Signs of Life
      Solar companies seem like BS. I'll buy when I can buy their products in Lowes and Home Depot, until then, it all seems like a 70's pipe dream that will never translate into something the general population will use.

      Visa, Mastercard Risk Ramped Up Competition
      More negativity on two basic items (Visa & Mastercard) everyone on the planet with money either already has or will have as soon as they can get it. If you want to go negative, you should focus on the banks that issue the cards, that would make more sense.

      Asian Economies Will Provide Strong Support for the Commodities Boom
      Can't wait to see all those billions of air conditioners, tv's, refrigerators, washers, dryers, automobiles, and wood furniture to go into those billions of Asian households. Gonna be like nothing we've ever seen before in the history of mankind! I'm building my concrete shelter in the mountain side just to be ready for the environmental chaos. Just kidding.

      How Bad Is the Dollar's Fall?
      Last time rates were near 1-2% lenders gave out money like it was nothing, if rates go back down near those levels it will be very interesting to follow where that cheap money goes; it definitely isn't going to consumers with poor credit like before. I feel like it's going to be giving a major "boost" for capital spending in the states which will translate to major infrastructure improvements in the states. I feel like the dollar will rally a lot after we start to see the benefits from this spending and the fed slowly brings the rates back up to 5-6%. I don't care how many high rises or western style businesses pop-up abroad, you just don't have the same wealth protections as you do here in the states.

      What Visa's IPO Means for This Market
      Sergey... Americans? There are a few billions credit card users out there in the WORLD. Last time I was at the store, I saw people using credit cards for packs of gum and bottles of water!! Now that gas is becoming very expensive, more people are taking out the plastic to pay for that. I would think as people become more cash strapped, they will use their bank issued credit cards for just about everything.
