Looking for Signs of a Dollar Rally

"The dollar is Varmint Cong.?" Are you under the impression that the US won the Viet Nam War, or are you trying out your Comedy Central gig here Carl?

Until the buck isn't the Reserve Currency of the world that it still is, all of the B.S. you guys shovel is exactly that, B.S.!

How Will the U.S. Recover from the Debt Crisis?

Not to worry, at the rate that Obama's ranking has fallen, 2010 w/b the Democratic Congress's Waterloo, & maybe the Sr. Citizens that Obama is targeting will get the "IMPEACHMENT" movement started for the fight against the Socialistic damage that our President & his henchmen have perpetrated upon us. I can hardly recognize what my country looks like these days, BUT WE'RE NOT JAPAN, where did you get that idea from?

Jim Rogers on the Next 10 Years

Yes Heather, most of what you write has been true now & again, but ask George Soros about how poorly he rates Mr. Rodgers as a portfolio Mgr. when they shared that job in the 20th century, it ain't pretty.

Commodities are RANGE BOUND, they aren't owned like stocks & bonds, I spent over 19yrs on Wall St., the last 9yrs completely into the Futures markets. When I managed a company portfolio to huge profits in the early '80's, I was essentially short the markets, that got me better job opps & I became something of a legend in my own time, but by NOT using fundamental reasoning alone, w/o TA timing, you're kidding yourself if you think you can outtrade the Commercials.

Nice meeting you this way, I'm going to follow you for awhile, maybe you'll impress the heck out of me, ROFL!

Tuesday Outlook: Commodities, Global Markets

Yes David, congrats to you & your lovely wife on your new home, pls. give her my best for her successful fight against the Big "C!"

Bless you both.

Friday Roundup: Commodities, Emerging Markets

Exactly, GS is another pair of words for "Get Shorty,"
freakin' crooks, & I can't wait until ex-Treasury Secretary Paulson swings for his part in that GS/AIG fraud. Even now, GS's CEO is talking out of both sides of his lying mouth, WAKE UP!!!

Sure It’s Legal … But Is It Right?

I left my Wall St. career in 1988 because the immorality of The Street then was unacceptable. Today it's UNFORGIVABLE & yet, even this Socialistic regime is caving into these crooks. It isn't the lack of the public's backbone, it's the lack of political choices. Our country is begging t/b governed from the middle out, not these radical leftists or ultra conservatives who have their own narrow minded agendas.

Where is the "Whig" party (Centrists) when you need them I ask you Mr. Summers? Where indeed?

Indicators Suggest Commodities Will Continue to Rise

Crude oil & their products have failed to break out, what TA are you looking at? Your charts must be upside down, & where did you say the demand was going to come from? Even the oversold natural gas can't gain support, it's going lower still.

Gold has also failed to break upside resistance, & silver is being investigated for huge frauds in their ETF's, that's a bummer!

Commodities' Blame Game

Geez Steven, talking your book here too? Where do you live, in a cave or a secluded paradise? We're in the worst recession since the 1930's & you're worried about gold & crude oil? I'd tell you to WAKE UP; but I've done that before if you remember.

Dream on Steven, spinkle a little gold dust on your crude oil desert, it might be good for you.

Oil Futures: It's Not Manipulation, It's Stupidity

"Paper speculation destroys capital of most market participants. Investing in commodity futures is not wisdom, it's stupidity."

It's NOT the paper Alex, it's the INTENT to manipulate. W/O a Futures market, prices for resources would never trend normally, what would producers (the Trades) do to offset risk, throw the dice? Where you have folks wanting to hedge, you have speculators willing to gamble, that's NOT manipulation, that's COMMERCE in action!

For someone who's supposed t/b an expert, you sure do come across as dumb as a stone, get a grip, read Gartman's Letter, WAKE UP!

Absurd Inverse and Leveraged ETF Product Whining (Updated)

Cramer???

Who listens to a jerk like him? CNBC has a very strongly worded disclaimer before & after he mouths off, deservedly so IMHO!

Bogel should retire like all the other "buy & hold" WS veterans who made a living ripping off those investors who held on no matter what. At least ETF's should give you a chance to compete with specialists & the Buy/Sell programs that often are fronted by other WS crooks.

Am I jaded, you bet, I left Wall St. in the late '80's, working their left me feeling dirty every night & look what's transpired since?

We need more David Fry's & lees Cramer's, trust me we do!

Gold, Green and the Fate of the Dollar

You gold bugs make me laugh!

What, pray tell, would you suggest the world's population do for exchange related currencies? Some idiots think that bags of gold dust will prevail, seriously. Others think that certified script on gold hoards will do.

Unless you have an Army at your disposal, who's going to protect you & your loved ones from outright theft of your gold dust, or scripts & certifications?

What's more likely to happen one day is either a basket of the strongest currencies, &/or a basket of commodities with set values will suffice. Right now the country with the most formidable military/defense w/b the USA, & before us was England's lb. until WW II broke out.

If you don't read (& understand) world history who's fault is that? Follow these gold bugs & their selfish interests at your own peril.

Amen.

Warren Buffett Getting No Respect

Buffett's wealth is not the issue U338129. Owners of either BRK got slammed & how many of them have Warren's wealth?

Get over it, this is the 2nd time that Buffett (& Munger) have screwed up in this century (all of 8yrs+). Ask new BRK buyers how many yachts they own.

I'll take Dennis Gartman over all of the oldies in this business, they want to rest on their laurels, Dennis wants to help his clients to preserve capital & have gains above the S&P 500.

Chart of the Day - Inflation Adjusted Dow

Being more of a" seat of the pants analyst" myself than a grad analyst, most of you guys are like Wall St. Week's annual "guessers!" Guessing is guessing, where's the beef?

Buy & hold is dead for now, maybe forever, get over it. I spent more than half my Wall St. career in futures, mostly during the '80's, & stocks were as volatile as commodities were back then. There is no way that commodities can rally for years w/o growth in stocks related to commodity usage, got that, NO FREAKIN' WAY!

So if the futures folks think that the commodity boom will last for years to come, HOORAY! Jim Rodgers can be, & often is, DEAD WRONG, ask his old partner, Geotge Soros. Better you guys who disagree read some of Dennis Gartman's daily messages, he certainly knows that buy & holds is dead, & he knows commodities better than most.

14K Dow means what, I'd settle for 10%/12% per year for the next decade, knowing full well that some years won't deliver that return, but one or two years will perform better, maybe much better. You need to have skin in the game, use trailing stops that protect principal (w/o which you have today's situation for millions of retirees who've lost more than half their retirement stake.)

Happy Father's Day!

Here's What World Markets Are Telling Income Investors to Do

Sorry Cliff, but you're missing the point badly. Until these banks begin to earn money w/o the public Tarp aid, any gains in net income w/b short lived. These banks caused millions to lose billions & yet they are considered too big to fail, what B.S.!

This rally you've invested heavily in is a Bear trap, millions more home, businesses & individuals will go belly-up w/o doubt. Once our many creditors decide to really dump their dollar holdings, inflation will really take off, & what then happens to this bear rally, if you know Cliff?
