Expect More Correction Before Recovery

Being "overbought" doesn't mean much. The current market isn't following any type of "fundamental analysis" because of government manipulation. There is no typical bull, or typical bear market only a "new market" that's trending upward. Market analysis used in past markets mean nothing.

Making Natural Gas Transportation a Reality

A personal friend whose studied Alternative Energy told me this statement is very incorrect.

"Natural gas reserves in the US are abundant and can power US home heating, industrial, electrical generation, and transportation sectors for decades into the future. "

ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil: Two Safest U.S. Oil Producers

Anotherwards given the word on the street is buy big oil companies, one must do the exact opposite. The time to buy is when noone is talking.

Distressing Details of the UltraShorts

One technique I use:
I watch each ones current volatility because it changes lots. I only invest if it's got lots of volatility. The up/down +10 per day (DOW drops 200), or +1 per day (DOWN drops 200) changes lots over time per symbol.

One example:
EEV almost got me! I put lots of money into EEV because it moved so much, then it's voltility just disappeared. I sold with only $100.00 gain, but got out. I also have questions concerning how that $100.00 gets taxed or does it get taxed etc...etc..

Oil: Our Biggest Ally

My question is how could Oil Companies share prices (like XOM--Exxon) be increasing while the price of Oil plummets like this. The news blames some of it on middle east war news. Maybe also companies are decreasing their supply. I'm shorting Oil companies that's why I'd like to know this answer.

Here I Go, Criticizing Warren Buffett

From an outsiders perspective it looks a little bit like a China investment. An investment where one can win "big" but can't lose. If Golden Sachs or GE go bankrupt the govt. will just bail them out. I'm glad Buffet shares his investment information--it's the only way to go.

Bullion Shortage and Spot Prices Tell Two Different Gold Stories

Hi.
1.) bend over and touch your toes!
2.) watch this video....www.rgemonitor.com/
Nouriel Roubini...........econ... teacher speaks on the economy. Nouriel predicted this plunge in the world economy.
3.) Where's all the inflation? (I have too many articles written by so-called experts statomg gold will reach 1500 cause of inflation.)
4.) If China wants to buy out all our gold supplies then they'll wait until the price of Gold hits "rock bottom."
Another expert says "And if China were to match roughly half of the gold reserves held by the United States, it would have to buy another $636 billion worth. That kind of buying would send gold to well more than $2,000 an ounce. Probably to $3,000, or even higher. My view: China has already started purchasing small amounts of gold. It's one of the reasons gold is now holding support at its 1980 high in the mid-$800 level, well above important support levels on the charts from $600 up to $735 an ounce. China has a mere 0.9% of its reserves in gold (600 tons). That's the lowest of any industrialized economy! To put it into perspective ...
 The U.S. has 77.3% of its foreign reserves in gold.

 The European Union has 23% of its reserves in gold.

 Lithuania, Mozambique, and even tiny Nepal all have more of their reserves in gold than China.
Just to up its reserves to 5% in gold, Beijing would have to purchase $93 billion worth of bullion. That could easily send the yellow metal skyrocketing to more than $2,000 an ounce."
5.) Learn to speak Mandarin Chinese (is that how to spell Chineseee?)
6.) Marry a wealthy Chinese female.
Step 7.) Cash is KING! It's time to sell everything!

It's a Tricky Time for Investors

I know law school graduates who can't find jobs, end up substitute teaching in high schools. It's way too expensive law school for me, and there's no guaranteed job in law afterwards.

Grossed Out: Why Is It OK for Some People To Ask for Handouts?

Mr. Gross is fighting and trying to buy himself time to save his money. Mr. Gross sounds like an egomaniac with lots of entitlement going on. Lots of "other people" will benefit when a capitalistic Market falls, and people like Mr. Gross lose their money.

Another American Money Pit: Infrastructure

Maybe just globalize the infastructure of the world. Take all the US transportation govt. workers and trade them 1:1 for Japaneese, European, China govt. workers. I bet the US would hire them, but nobody would hire the US worker.
