  • Priming the Pump for $20/Gal. Gas: Interview with Chris Steiner [View article]
    $20 gallon gas and you're worried about Wal-Mart surviving?

    Plssssss....

    Wal-Mart would do just fine. People would only shop two days or so per month or so, but guess where they would be shopping for one-stop shopping? Worry more about Amazon. They'd go under with the shipping surplus charges alone. Target, gone. Kohl's, gone. Macy's, Penney's, Kroger's, all gone. Mom & Pop stores, stay gone.

  • The only point about the deficit everyone agrees about is that the U.S. already owes staggering sums of money and will soon owe more. As far as when and how vigorously to start easing off Washington’s borrowing habit, the debate rages.  [View news story]
    Highest deficit levels since WWII?

    Hmmm...let's compare.

    One was a fight (literally) for the freedom of the world.

    One is a fight to continue to live above our means for a little while longer.

    I wonder how history will judge this era.

    If this recession is over, then we're looking at the quickest double dip recession in history since the next one is already starting.

  • After an arduous hunt, this author found what he thinks is the safest place to stash his money: a personal account at the Fed.  [View news story]
    Why the heck didn't he just buy some silver or gold coins if he's so worried?

  • Taking a Lesson from the Great Depression [View article]
    If, if, if we had a fiscally responsible government then I definitely believe we would be looking at deflation. But with Ben warming up the helicopter fleet and the government running a 2T dollar deficit (and possibly planning another stimulus) I just don't see how deflation can happen.

    In real adjusted dollars, yes. But there will be little left of real dollars once the Fed gets done "saving" the economy.

    Patience.

    Gold has doubled in the last few years. The price of bananas has not....yet.

  • Can Wal-Mart Survive Generation Y? [View article]
    When Gen Y finds themselves in a 10 year plus long lost decade you can bet your last falling dollar that they will be well trained to shop at Wal-Mart by the end of it.

    Trust me....Wal-Mart will thrive with Gen Y.

  • Can a Market Crash Save Us from Hyperinflation? [View article]
    Ok, what about next year's bonds? And the next year's after that? And so on and so on?

    The falling stock market last year which gave us such low rates also gave us a 2T dollar deficit. If the market falls again like it did last year, the deficit next year will be LARGER than 2T which would make hyperinflation more likely...not less likely.

    No matter what happens (save the miracle of lower gov't spending) rates are going to eventually go up.

  • Spread Between Best and Worst Performing CEFs Narrows  [View article]
    Pffft....

    CEF means Central Fund of Canada to me. i.e. Gold and Silver.

    Such a nice little fund.

  • The Deceitful Practice of Window Dressing: Why Has the SEC Done Nothing About It? [View article]
    Shhhhhhhhhh....

    Leave window dressing alone. This is one of the few areas retail investors can take advantage of WallStreet. Rather than most of the times being vice versa. The little guy can actually win if they pay attention.

  • Is Bing Already Losing Some Zing? [View article]
    So let me understand this:

    You're using a chart from Google telling you that Bing is declining and you take it as the gospel?

    Not that Google would lie, but, really, at least use an independent source to verify.

  • Sidelined Cash Levels Remain High [View article]
    Riddle me this:

    Let's say there is a trillion in "cash on the sidelines" and that cash wants to buy stocks. Well, for that trillion to buy a trillion in stocks other people must sell a trillion in stocks. So then the sold trillion dollars worth of stock now becomes "cash on the sidelines." Hence, net zero effect.

    Therefore, cash on the sidelines will ALWAYS stay on the sidelines (except through secondarys and IPOs.)

  • American Dairy: How to Milk the Chinese Market [View article]
    Never recommend (or buy) a stock that has tripled in less than 3 months. Just don't do it. You missed it. Get over it.

    If it goes higher? Who cares. A triple was already missed.
