Where Are Jim Rogers, Marc Faber and Doug Casey Investing Their Money in This Market?

Sorry- looks like you are mis-interpreting Prechters Elliot wave short term letter- this time cycle worked for a while a few years back and MAY be showing up again. Cycles, as he points out, notoriously leave one high and dry- especially after they become recognized.

US Government: No Surprises Left

Whatever ones opinion on the near-term course of Gold prices, how can you not have 2-20% of your assets in Gold?

Thursday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets

The fact that there is still debate as to whether or not we will have a Recession (a formally normal part of the business cycle) After the collapse of the biggest credit bubble in history, and after the disintegration and insolvency of most major banks, tells of a complacency which will only be removed by a Major Depression.
The Bulls should hope for a recession. The Fed is not an all powerful Santa Claus: remember the "free markets" the elites used to pay homage to? That's before the criminal banks became beggars.

Why I'm Committed to the UltraShort Financials ETF

I'm as bearish as they come, but trading is trading, not having a "commitment" to a position. And listing the fundamental reasons now, as opposed to one year ago, why BAC will go down just sounds like a poor trading mindset. Markets do not trade on logic and they never conform to your internal "timeline".
And it is a positive feedback loop(with negative consequences) which is occuring.
