    • Friday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets [view article]
      I remember in 1987 the week before 'Black Monday' was the worst in history. It made the cover of Time. But then 'Black Monday' hit and everyone forgot about the previous week. Just because we've had a big selloff doesn't mean we won't get another 'Black Monday' with all the average joes bailing out at the same time. Oct 10 09:17 AM

      This year Buffett has been saying that the slowdown would be longer and deeper than many people think. If he's right (again) then we still have a long way to go. He's also been calling for higher inflation and a lower dollar over the next several years. Want part of his sweetheart deals? Buy some Berkshire Hathaway. Oct 02 08:09 AM

      Well if you want to talk survivalism, then you want FOOD and bullets. You CAN eat food and shoot anyone who tries to steal it. However, try to buy the food with worthless paper money. Good Luck. Sep 25 09:49 AM

      Too bad the regulators don't seize the golden parachutes of the CEOs when these taxpayer funded bailouts happen. I wonder if there would be fewer such incidents if that kind of penalty existed. Sep 20 11:52 PM
    • The S&P 498? [view article]
      I wouldn't be surprised if they just lower the $5-billion minimum in order to keep the index at 500. That's how the system works, just lower the standards if necessary to get the desired results. Sep 11 09:52 AM

      Warren Buffett thinks the U.S. has a bright future too . . . in maybe 5 years or so. But for now he believes the recession will be deeper and longer than many people think, inflation higher and dollar eventually lower. He could be wrong of course, but he did predict the dotcom crash, got into energy early and sold his house in California a few years ago at the top. Sep 11 08:12 AM

      September: Historically the worst month for stocks by far. Could it be happening again despite all the perma-bulls out there? Sep 10 09:13 AM

      We'll see how the markets behave after the election. Or looking forward how they behave in '09. Post elections years don't have a very good track record. Sep 09 08:33 AM
    • Gold Equities Are Oversold - TD Newcrest [view article]
      relmor is right. You don't hear the big pundits like Cramer acknowledge the seasonality of gold. In fact the media makes it sound like gold follows the seasonality of oil which peaks in the summer and bottoms in the winter. Can you imagine buying gold in January and selling in June every year? Hahahahaha. Sep 06 08:14 AM

      On Friday Warren Buffett reiterated his belief the U.S. economic downturn will be longer and deeper than many people think and that inflation will continue to rise. Aug 26 08:30 AM
    • Peak Theory, Applied To Inflation [view article]
      I am certainly no expert, but earlier this year Warren Buffett said, "Inflation has been in remission and is likely to be more prevalent in the next 10 years" and (regarding the dollar) "If we continue the same policies, we're going to get the same results in the next five or 10 years."

    • Hard Money Inflation: Oil and Gold Continue to Plunge Downward [view article]
      Gold has had a tough time since March. Still, gold usually does swoon in the summer so it might be wise to wait at least another month before proclaiming 'gold is dead' talk. Meanwhile stocks haven't been so hot either. Despite several 'bottoms' called already by the 'experts' the markets are still in a major downtrend made all the worse by the double top formed by the S&P last year. (The first peak in 2000).

    • Too Late for Newspapers to Turn the Tide? [view article]
      I worked for a paper whose leadership 10 yrs ago said the internet was a fad. They then built a new printing facility with 3 times excess capacity because they didn't want to 'outgrow it too fast'. Since then they've had several layoffs and have been slow to embrace the internet. Aug 15 09:38 AM

      Funny coincidence that the Olympics, Russia's invasion of Georgia and the sudden surge in the dollar all occur at the same time and the leaders of these countries all happen to be together in China. Doesn't a stronger dollar help China too? Aug 15 08:51 AM
    • Is the Price of Gold Artificially Depressed? [view article]
      We'll see if gold bottoms soon. The 1980 high of $850 might be a support level. Gold usually bottoms in the summer then rallies. But if gold is too risky for your blood you can try something else tangible like collectibles. Go buy some rare comic books like Nicolas Cage. Amazing Fantasy 15 (1st Spider-Man) has appreciated 85% since 2000. Compare that to the Dow or S&P. Aug 08 01:00 PM
