Don't you see the HUGE arbitrage opportunity there is to the common wage earner?!!!
At the end of the day, profit trumps convenience.

I think the swine flu will lend positive action to HOGS, since it's products are manufactured in factories with relatively higher sanitary standards than the pork the common folk buys in the wet market.
Increasingly affluent Chinese will flock to the super marts where pre-packaged frozen pork is sold. Zhongpin has a dominant network penetration and stands to profit from this.

Actually, this can work out to be a great hedge if the US dollar falls.

Hello Baires,
I hope you didn't bet the farm on Tyhee. It's only 1 mining stock out of thousands out there.
I picked up 1,000 shares of Tyhee at 10 cents/share; and guess what.... I am prepared to loose all $100 dollars if Tyhee goes under. How much did you put down on the betting pool?

If recent history is any guide (think 2008), a second wave of deleveraging is happening as mortgages reset, student loans start defaulting and malls are starting to go empty.
I am of the opinion that PMs will go much higher, however now is the time to keep your powder dry. And when you buy, average into a pre-determined position. Most importantly, don't be too greedy, that almost certainly kills you.

Remember, greed can, and always kills you.
