  • Sprott's John Embry: 'The Future For Retirees In America Is Grim' [View article]
    You said: 'and there has never been a President that has attempted to usurp the governmental process'. I am not so sure that this statement holds at this time. The current president frequently bypasses congress via executive orders, appointment of unelected czars of dubious integrity who issue regulations controlling many aspects of our lives, use of agencies like the EPA to do the same, etc. It enacts laws like the NDAA that permits assassination of US citizens and indefinite detention w/o due process under the guise of 'security'. It maintains open borders to all and benefits to those who break our laws, including the members of congress.
    All aspects of the current administration tend to minimize freedom and endanger our economic well being.
    These are just a few factors that you need to include in your analysis. They may alter your equation's outcome re 'a long time to come'.
    Our population needs to wake up.

  • Avoid Defensive Sectors For The Remainder Of 2013 [View article]
    Can you really make such a conclusion based on 38% of the utilities reporting at this point? Most of the sectors had over 60% reporting.
    This reminds me of some of the BLS reports we have been seeing lately.

  • Buy Caterpillar: A Global Leader Trading At A Third World Discount [View article]
    The $600+ million they spent on the chinese mining equipment company scam is a good example of their prowess. Some one should have told them about due diligence. If they are planning on making money with the chinese, some policy changes are in order.
    I would also recommend a little more research on your part prior to publishing.

  • Sorry, Doomers, The Stock Market Isn't Divorced From Reality [View article]
    When you live in a shoebox, your perception is altered. Time to lift the lid, Hale, and take a look at the big picture.
    I'm not a doomer, but am a bit paranoid aka heightened awareness...

  • Maybe it’s no coincidence gold’s massive selloff is taking place on the same day U.S. tax returns are due, Marketfield's Michael Shaoul surmises, pointing to the need to raise cash to pay substantial capital gains due at tax filing. If sellers waited until the last day, it might have sparked selling pressure to plunge through key support at $1520; at that point, "a substantial wave of panicky selling was always likely to take place." [View news story]
    Is it possible to put SA authors on ignore (like yahoo message boards)? This one deserves it.

  • Comex Gold Inventories Collapse By Largest Amount Ever On Record [View article]
    FF: The Goldman Sachs prediction of the gold future price down to 1350 is a move that supports your theory. Also today's headline:
    Goldman Sachs recommends a short position in gold as UBS and Deutsche Bank lower guidance.

  • Abraxas Petroleum: Still Searching For Its Core Asset [View article]
    Perhaps a definition of core assets is in order: A core asset is anything a company cannot sell.

  • If Mispriced REIT Risk Is Getting You Nervous, Check Out The Preferreds [View article]
    IMO, preferred's typically behave like bonds in a rising interest rate environment. Stick with the short duration's to minimize the effect.

  • Why Investing In Apple Is Riskier Than You Think [View article]
    Once again the comments have more relevant content than the article. A fifty year forward look is a bit ridiculous for an investing methodology.
    Re Samsung, imitation is not as enduring or valuable as innovation.
    Don't give up your day job.

  • Apple's Secret Weapon Will Yield All-Time Highs [View article]
    Jony Ive is primarily a graphic designer. He has nothing to do with the capability of the devices. I do think the device would be successful, due to multi-tasking other than telling time, but AAPL needs something more to revive. Rosenberg is wrong with his take on watches. No one wears them as all they do is tell you the approximate time and irritate your wrist. The iDick (...Tracy) would have to do much more.
