More ProShares Ultrashorts Tomfoolery

Although there may be some disparity, my personal experience with a double inverse Pro Funds (Russel 2000) was a 60% annualized return. They did exactly what they said they'd do. My first experience before these funds was buying a put option on the S&P in 1986. I doubled my money the first day then watched it expire after losing my gains and premium. Lesson learned is the funds are the way to go or at least for me to go.

Tuesday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets

Some of you are not wearing your thinking caps. Truly the Fed is flooding the market with paper. That is why the dollar will tank not the opposite. The only reason it is seeing temporary strength is the mass exodus of commercial paper and repatriation by scared homies that still believe that the US is the wealthiest nation and that stocks always go up. The markets are experiencing their balancing act between fear and greed. The problem is that the WTO aka Trilateral Commission won't let it work against the big boys. It's do as we say, not as we do. FAX and FXA look to be great buys here. I might just buy more.

Thursday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets

I like Fry too. Most of us serious investors don't just want to hear Mad Max Cramer pontificate and then complain about investors after his perenial bull drivel falls far short of making money. If he was so good at hedging, why didn't he retire rich by now?

The Current Market Atmosphere: Easy Money Hard to Come by

Good article because it exposes the symbiotic relationship between Wall Street and the Press. Next you should expose how they are both in bed with the Republican party which is running off with the profits they made on your dreams.

Global Investing: Only 'Dead' for the Dumb Money

I agree with your article whole heartedly. Forbes is nothing more than a commercial rag and cheerleader for the few American companies that still buy advertising. As for me, I bought gold stocks in 03 and sold in 07. Bought China and Pacific Tigers in O5 and sold in early 07. I'm happy with 100% returns and look to get back into Pacific slowly after the world readjusts to our profligate overspending and absurd cocky belief that our empire is anything more than a modern day paper tiger.

Asian Market Strategies for Stagflation

the Dr.'s answers made sense but I was hoping that he might also have liked some of the emerging market debt obligations since stocks are very iffy if not downright suicidal at this point in time.

Thursday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets

I like the thoroughness and scepticism but, would like a little more layman's explanation in the commentary boxes relating to technical charts
