      Why I'm Worried About China
      Nothing is less difficult than being pessimistic at or near any market’s bottom! Serially buy one of the closed end significantly discounted China play funds e.g., CHN and take a nap!

      Bottom line, worry less post secular market crashes and increase your ultimate profits! Your progeny will thank you.

      Investing in Clean Infrastructure Build-Out: Electricity Transmission and Distribution
      I look forward to Mr. Morand’s articles that are always stimulating and informative.

      A non-glamour and ever increasing pure play clean issue that will undoubtedly live long and prosper during the Barack era is GE. Obviously, the credit division is a detriment to the stock’s earnings but this problem to will pass!

      The Bubble Years and Beyond
      Agreed, how can any reasonable investor not appreciate Jim Grant. With this said, IMHO, all investors will remain lost in space unless they absorb, not read, Naomi Klein’s, “The Shock Doctrine - Disaster Capitalism”.

      If an investor does not appreciate “Shock” in context of the past 8-years geopolitical and resulting economic disaster, that investor is mandated to limit his/her exposure to a pass book savings account. Jim Grant understands the Milton Friedman Chicago School of Economics tragedy and the Neocon’s self-serving embrace of its horrifically flawed tenets. Naomi conveys this message seamlessly to the open minded masses without Wharton MBA degrees!

      If we are to survive the current debacle, the Jim Grants, Naomi Kleins, and a very few enlightened others must lead the way!

      Worst Two-Day Decline Since the '87 Crash
      "Problem will soon be solved, i.e. nothing left for these actors to tax or spend."

      Problem will soon be solved, i.e. nothing left for the good Republicans and their cronies to steal.

      There, I fixed your quote for you!

      The Shallowest Generation
      "Yeah that's why I am a registered Republican."

      Props to you on your party’s selection of Sarah Palin as a “legitimate” political figure. Please, bring her back in 2012.

      If possible read or alternatively have some read to you at the public library Naomi Klein’s, The Shock Doctrine - Disaster Capitalism !

      Safe Haven Investments: Imminent Danger and Opportunities
      Mark,

      Your comments on Noah’s Ark are noted. As a physics PhD candidate and an extraordinarily bright, insightful, and discerning individual what are your thoughts relating to the fact that 72% of Americans (not a typo) believe Noah’s Ark actually existed?

      Is Norilsk Really Selling Its SWC Stake?
      Mark,

      Another brilliant piece and thank you!

      On another subject, pay a professional researcher to do the heavy lifting and write the thesis. You can do it!

      Some True Safe Havens Are Still (Surprisingly) Undervalued
      Thank you to Mr. Anthony for his response to my inquiry. Obviously, Mr. Anthony’s words and the failure for others to corroborate accusations made speak volumes.

      Mr. Anthony, you are an exceedingly bright and talented poster and your work is sincerely appreciated!

      “This is a moron alert..Mark Anthony goes on various website equity blogs and under pseudonyms pumps or trashes those equities..his remarks, of course, are as inane as his Alpha Posts. This louse is as phony as they come..and the garbage he puts out is useless. Alpha needs to do some due diligence.”

      If mankind is to advance beyond statements as dinosaurs and humans co-existed, the Rule of Law, Scientific Method, and peer reviewed literature are beyond essential. Georealist’s clip appears at a minimum sincere and deserving of corroboration.

      With this said, does confirming evidence exist regarding the serious charges made? Additionally, Mr. Anthony needs to address this issue in that ignoring Georealist’s accusations becomes an adoptive admission (of guilt) under universally accepted rules of evidence.

      Paraphrasing, I am little more than a hack attempting to pay for two kid’s exceedingly expensive and apparently endless educational adventures. To those with expertise, help us “limiteds” to understand and potentially survive!!!!!

      Be Like Buffett: Get Off the Roller Coaster
      Before us is what I assume to be a serious article. Mario Gabelli mentioned in the same breath as Warren Buffett creates amusement if not incredulity!

      As to GE, think of the firm as a mini index 500 vehicle. If GE fails, so does the country, an arguably unlikely event! With this said, close your eyes, hold your nose, and buy GE serially to its ultimate low!

      Buffett's GE Warrants Quickly Trade Out of the Money
      Let us assume for discussion’s sake that a Plunge Protection Team actually exists as many believe factual. Reportedly, Hammering Hank leads this group of covert operatives in stabilizing markets. So far so good!

      Now, if Hank wished an unpopular Bail-Out Bill’s passage, would Hank and his friends not simply reverse the PPT’s function by either not participating or selling into a decline? The argument then arises that by selling shares, Hank would harm his bottom line via losses. Any losses could, however, be eliminated through buy backs at even more attractive prices!

      Unless we are a rebirth of Nostradamus, certainty is nothing more than the musings of fools on CNBC. Columbus took a chance and perhaps we should as well. Buying reasonably solid stocks at or near single digit PE’s more likely than not will make us the subject of great envy at the 2009 office holiday party!!!!

      GE: Struggling Short-Term, But Should Do Fine Long-Term
      GE’s current PE is around 10.7. Yes, GE may well get cheaper but on the other hand, a PE of 17-18 is reasonable in context of the company’s positions. Morningstar Premium states GE’s fair market value at $41 and Morningstar is conservative plus!

      GE went ex today with a payment day of 10/27/08 in place. It is reasonable to believe the next dividend will be increased consistent with GE’s wonderful history of approximately 33- consecutive yearly dividend increases.

      When Lou Rukeyser on the old Wall Street Week program would ask one of the show’s favorite guests, Julius Westheimer, when it was time to buy, Julius would reply, “Buy when you have the money!” I will add to this thought to buy when the likelihood of the stop doubling exceeds the probability of the issue loosing 50% of its value.

      I am long GE.
