Is Gold A Sucker's Bet? [view article]
If gold is so useless why does the US have 262 million ounces in their vaults? Why does the Federal Reserve keep other countries gold stores in their vault in NY? Gold is a type of currency onto itself, it's a fallback. Right now China, India and Russia barely have any gold reserves. You will soon be seeing Gold buying by these countries as a shore to their currency.I think you have the wrong concept on gold, it's not a commodity, it's an alternate currency. Just like the dollar value, it fluctuates on demand. Oct 11 05:15 PM

Carl Spackler, the economic major, if the value of all assets are deflating where do you think investors will park their money to ride out the storm? Oct 04 11:52 PMIt's the End Of the World As We Know It and I Own Gold [view article]
Funny, No one here has mentioned the Dow/gold curve. Look it up and you will be surprised. Gold has a long way to run. Sep 28 12:36 AMInterview with Jim Rogers, Part I: Bigger Financial Shocks Loom [view article]
Oz,Very true. I still think the market is in for a run, except the dumb financials , who dug a 20 foot ditch and then jumped into it without a means to get out. For the middle class it means prime stocks will be cheap since these fools need the cash and will sell on the cheap. There is one point no one seems to make. Before we were commercing with 300 million or so people. It's now 6 to 8 billion. Aug 21 10:40 PM
Armageddon? Maybe Next Week. [view article]
GKM,yes. The bonds just add to the debt, which in turn brings the dollar down. I'm hedged with Gold and Energy. That said, good luck to all. Aug 21 10:08 PM

I keep hearing complaints regarding ethanol. The next time you are eating a juicy steak at areasonable price, remember this...the grain used to feed livestock comes from the leftover after they convert the corn to ethanol (DDGS). The corn is fully used, inluding the cob, who's oil is used for Bio Diesel. The price of all commodities is more due to India and China sucking up resources to feed 1.3 billion people and not Bio fuels.As far as carbon, look up CTLF(Liquid Carbon Fuel). Clean carbon fuel.

Increasing Ethanol Demand and the Likely Price Implications for Corn [view article]
BTW as china buys more big Macs, price of beef will go up and feedstock also goes up. Wanna guess who profits? Maybe the ethanol producers? Talk about the tail wagging the dog. May 07 08:11 PMIncreasing Ethanol Demand and the Likely Price Implications for Corn [view article]
That's the problem, emerging India and China have become the driving force behind the price of all commodities. It has nothing to do with US demand or other markets. This boon will go on for 5 to 10 years. China is in the midst of industrializing itself anmd the rest of us are going to pay the price. May 07 08:09 PMUsing the Gold to Oil Ratio to Monitor Gold Equity Investments [view article]
The relationship still holds if you take into account that the dollar value is at .75. Multiply the 120 X .75 and gold comes out to approx. 900, it,s present value. I believe oil is now more valued than gold . So if oil goes to 200 and the dollar value stays fixed we will see gold at about 1500. However if the dollars value goes down to .5, you will see gold at 1000 with 200 dollar/barrel oil. Very funny relationship. May 06 01:16 PMHow Much are You Willing to Pay for First Solar's Growth?

BTW i am waiting for 1$ per watt solar before i buy my system. May 01 08:05 PMHow Much are You Willing to Pay for First Solar's Growth? [view article]
All i know is Nano Solar, brand new thin film tech company, is selling at a cost of 1.50 per watt of solar power. Care to compare to FSLR price per watt? I think FSLR's days are coming to an end. Google Nano Solar if you are a dis-believer. May 01 08:04 PMSticking with North American Palladium [view article]
FSLR is going down. Look for info on Nano Solar and their breakthrough. They are selling Solar panels for 1.5 per watt of power generated. Unfortunately they are privately owned and not publicly traded...yet hehehe. May 01 07:33 PM$200 Oil, $2000 Gold? [view article]
I'm only putting in 150, what's left after debt. I'm also into verasun (VSE) as an alternative temporary play and into (ncen), new micro cap windpower generation. The only question i have now is when nanosolar stock will come into play. They make Solar cells at 1 dolar per watt! It's cutting edge technology will wipe out the competition.

I agree with Bruces. We are at the knee of the exponential growth in commodities. Problem is as oil prices go up and people's credit is maxed out, you will see gas use go down. It already went down from 1.6 billion bpd to .9 billion bpd. So what happens? Oil won't go down, it's a speculative stock. So you'll pay more for items (food, appliances, etc, etc) leaving less of a margin for companies. Also India will get hit, a lot of our outsourcing that went over there will get cancelled due to weak dollar and inflation in India. Where it will end? Your speculation is good as mine. All i know is i am heavy in gold. Apr 28 01:02 PM
