Dispelling Myths About the Stock Market and Precious Metals

Unfortunately, the connection between the stock market and other parts of our society, mainly the elusive ‘Main St.’, has become a far more important connection. When we allowed a few short sellers to bring down our financial institutions, the confidence in our system almost destroyed the rest of us. This handful of narcissistic, Generation Me shorties have developed trading strategies that do nothing more then enrich their own pockets and create nothing in return. “Creative destruction”, ala Gordon Gecko era, that at least created something out of the mire they caused. The David Einhorn’s of today’s world do nothing for the greater good or for any good… except their own that is. When he was allowed to naked short Lehman’s into the toilet, we should have learned our lesson, but we didn’t. Now he is shorting the dollar into the toilet, just so that his large gold position increases in value.
This time when he brings it all down he will bring us ALL down with it and not just a few brokerage houses.

New CFTC Rules May Be a Boon to Commodity-Related Stocks and ETFs

ALL ETF's, not just commodity related ones have not accomplished their initial intention: to act like a mutual fund, but with day-long access and liquidity.
Add to this the horrible abuse by some short funds and the manipulation of the 'ultra' funds has created an industry that desperately needs adjustment.

Why not just try to get all these ETF's BACK to what they were supposed to be and to mimic a mutual fund:

1. Have the ETF's trade on 20 MINUTE DEALYED quotes.
2. Can't buy at open. Starts trading at 9:40.
3. Absolutely NO premarket.
4. All trades after 3:40 are market on close orders.
Just to suggest a few.
