Silver Prices Are About to Fall

The gold to silver ratio stands at about 62:1+- right now.
I think silver will go higher, than break lower. If the dollar strengthens, silver will fall, too.

Chinese Iron Spot Prices Hit Nosebleed Levels of US$110/ton

Really excellent article. I'm waiting for the pullback to buy more VALE.

Preview from Europe: Banks Up on Expectation of Goldman Earnings

That's a wonderful idea Roger. But so long as the banks have the US Taxpayer to fall back on, there is no need for them to be creative. They don't need to get any more creative than a phone call to Tim Geitner. Perhaps those bankers think that if they renegotiate that mortgage, in 20 years, it still won't be back to where it was in 2005-6.

Preview from Europe: When Green Shoots Are Actually Dandelions

I just read an article that stated that insiders are selling their positions in their own companies at a 9 to 1 ratio. At the start of the rally, they were buying, along with the public, at 1 to 1. If that is true, you've got to figure the next few quarters will be weak and that the S & P is going lower.

Excellent article that really tells it like it is-warts and all. It's a relief to read the real story, rather than that world bank blather.
