I have no dog in the fight either way (no exposure in any way). That said, the negative reporting on the one hand is easily offset by the irrational, obsessive committment (to SIRI) of some investors on the other. Whatever may or may not happen with SIRI in the next year, two or five, the stock has well underperformed stock advances in the past year. Holding SIRI over say, Gold, has lost potential gains of nearly 30%.

So the question--why do they keep talking trash? Maybe because there are so many who keep "talking up" trash. ]]>

Starbucks: Highly Overvalued in a Mightily Overbought Market http://seekingalpha.com/article/158327/comments?source=feed#comment-647368 647368 On Aug 26 09:51 AM Jeff B. wrote:

Jeff--

I appreciate the sentiment, especially as a SBUX shareholder. Do you have any stock analysis to help support your suspicions? My position: convinced (from a number of data points) that the current market is overbought, a pull-back is expected (though when isn't clear), and SBUX could be caught up in that. I at least appreciate the author's analysis of fundamental aspects. Based on many of the replies that SeekingA tends to draw--very contrarian: deals with facts, not ad hominem.

Look forward to your reply.

You may have considered this prospect, but because you do not walk us through why the increase of silver is not a TRUE reaction to massive deficit (inflationary) spending, and must be speculation--you fail to convince.

I would like to hear your reasoning for why a jump in the price of silver is not an actual reflection of the demand and value against the manipulated price of Gold.]]>

Why Gold Will Decline More than the Markets http://seekingalpha.com/article/106544/comments?source=feed#comment-309278 309278
Also, are we talking about paper money?

And like they say in the south (where my brother lives), "All ya'll done said it all before"--do you mean paper or hard currency? I'm sitting on a 5% loss on my bullion verses 40% losses in my 401. ]]>
