Hunkering Down for a Big Correction

Your extreme political views are clouding your financial judgement.

Looking at S&P Lazy Summer 2% Drops

Reminds me of sportscasters during football games. "The last 15 times the Chargers trailed by more than 4 points during the last 3.5 minutes of the second quarter, they lost the game 86% of the time". Care to place your bets, anyone?

Prepare for a Market Breakout

I'm curious - why trade day to day? Do you know something today you didn't know yesterday? It seems like trading frequently just generates commission payments.

It Is Still a Bear Market

Seems like all gloom and doom to me... I haven't heard from any bulls for a while, just the mutual fund companies telling everyone to stay the course. But that doesn't make them bullish - they naturally don't want everyone pulling their money out out of their funds.

One-Year Anniversary of the Bear Market

I guess the bottom line is that all of the vast resources spent on analyzing investment strategies is a complete waste, since no one knows what is going to happen. Take your best guess and hope it turns out well.

How Long Will the Bear Market Last?

Gold is just a commodity like oil or wheat, except you can't burn it or eat it. There is no more reason for gold to hold its value than for anything else to hold its value.

Playing the Market in Difficult Times

This seems more like gambling than investing. Personally, I'm moving to an almost all cash position until there is some encouraging news on the economy and then I'll start gradually moving back into stocks. I may miss the bottom and part of the recovery, but I'd rather be safe. Commodities (including gold) are too risky for me.

Taking a Risk - With 20% Yields

AWP is down 40% for the previous year. Yikes!

This Is Not "the Big One"

Not all of your money market accounts are safe....

Adams Express: A Cheap Closed-End Fund

Since ADX is a closed-end fund, there's no guarantee that it's price will have any relationship to the price of the underlying securities it owns or to the S&P 500. And since it also has a very low dividend yield, what reasons are there for people to want to buy it?

Do You Have the Guts to Buy?

"Of course, that thought process only works when you have cash available to invest and you are confident in the long-term prospects of the businesses that you are invested in."

So if you were fully invested before, confident in the long term prospects of your investments, now you are screwed!

Commodity and Bond ETFs: "Stuff" and "Safety" Beating Stocks

GMiki: Don't be so sure. The market consist of thousands, if not millions, of people trying to outguess each other every day. Just because the market should react in some way, given underlying values, etc, doesn't mean it will react that way. Logic and reason don't work. Diversification is a way of dealing with the seeming irrationality of the market.
