TeresaE said, "..what's nearly 1 million undercounted unemployment?"

one million!? more like 12-13 million UNDERcounted.

Silver Trade Is Better than Gold

I agree with indianamark. I bought HL near the end of september at $4.20 and I am currently up about 55% today.

Pan American Silver vs. the Silver ETF: Which Is the Better Investment?

Hecla (HL) and Coeur d'Alene (CDE) are the most undervalued silver issues, so they would to appear to have more upside.

Today in Commodities: Sidelines vs. Market

Wrong recommendation for Silver, Matt. It is moving up steadily, not too fast and is on target to close year end over $21.00. Gold however is getting ahead of itself, and likely will see some slippage.

NABE Survey: Recovery Won't Remain Jobless Very Much Longer

These NABE numbers are obviously a coerced figure courtesy of the corrupt administration.

Remember Jimmie Carter? Well likewise, Obama is a one term president because he didn't focus on the #1 problem. In this case, it is jobs; not passing a wasteful healthcare bill nor strong-arming our primary energy suppliers.

10 Reasons to Believe That We're in a Depression

marvin, I've enjoyed your candor here. It is a breath of fresh air. With everyone still stuck behind "recession", few will be prepared to meet the coming dark years.

Folks, better think about increasing your stocks in the coming weeks. And, I don't mean the financial kinds either. More like the kinds in your pantry, your medicine cabinet, and other essential items we all take for granted.

add to this situation, the tsunami of coming Alt-A and Opton mortgage resets at HIGHER RATES which is going to force the hands of several million more Americans who have been hanging on to their homes with their fingernails.

Meredith Whitney: 'I Haven't Been This Bearish in a Year'

Soo, Maverta... what ahh, is your purpose in grinding your ax with Meredith? I mean, she knows alot about the market and you... ahh This Coleman Capital.. what exactly do you do over there? I mean so that we know that we are hearing from someone with credentials who knows something that Meredith doesn't..

Gold and Silver Continue Their Ascent

Boxed Merlot said, "..I know folks who have copies of the original shipping docs with dates and exact weights of "tungsten" bars shipped to Ft. Knox."

You know, those folks who know-about and have such docs: they might want to keep a veery low profile.. in certain circles, their lives are not worth much. The same goes for those people who know the others with said docs.

"..making a fake bar salted with tungsten indistinguishable from a solid gold bar by simply weighing it..."

gold is slightly heavier ( Au is 196.96 g/mol; W is 183.84 g/mol) Anyone who would be interested in buying such large volume bricks of gold would most certainly use a very precise scale to weigh it, thus detecting the difference. However, by the subtle addition of a few slugs of Depleted Uranium into the tungsten, then one might achieve such a fraud.

The Unemployment Rate Illusion

Mr Big has the right vision. Add Michigan, New York, Massachusetts and several other Blue states to your list.

I think the big imaginary political pendulum in the sky has hit the left side of its oscillation and is now bearing down hard on the rightward swing.

Well, a month has passed and we are up 330 points in DJIA, up 41 points in the SPX, and NASDAQ is up over 80 points.

Brazil Chokes Off Foreign Investment

I wouldn't leave Brazil's markets just because a transaction tax has been imposed. It is one of those rare boom markets where you will always be handsomly rewarded for patience.

Asset Reflation Does Not Signal Recovery for U.S.'s Collapsed Economy

ryanclarke has is right about China eating our lunch. The real irony is coming when China signs up ALL the Iraq oil.

True September Unemployment 14%: Our System Is Broken

Thanks Mark for your research.

We really are heading for a decade of depression. We could even see real (not BLS definition of "real") unemployment up over 30-35%. My best guess is somewhat near the SGS number of 22% at this time. Assuming a labor force of some 137 million with 22% out of full-time work, we have about 30 million displaced workers. That is going to take upwards of a decade to absorb back into the workforce. This country will be thoroughly tested as to whether the people continue to believe in the "American Way" of democracy, and capitalism where anyone can aspire to rise up and succeed. Or whether they begin to give up trying to reach the level of achievement that their parents had, and slump down into a sad life of government control over jobs, wages, medicine, education, and essential freedoms.
