      I CLEARLY need to do an update on my "confidence" in our democratic system! Stay tuned.... Sep 29 03:15 PM
    • Bank on Goldman - Cramer's Stop Trading! (9/22/09) [view article]
      Why is Cramer surprised GS was down on Monday? He advised his own viewers to sell into the Th/Fri rally. Jim Cramer can be all over the place and hard to follow for actionable advice. Sep 23 09:22 AM

      Did you notice how KOL soared on Friday well ahead of its individual components? What happened there? Sep 23 08:59 AM
    • Treasury's Plan Is Breathtakingly Awful [view article]
      Great piece. And a lot of good comments here to boot. I too had not yet gotten to the point of thinking of the bailout plan as a type of coup and destruction of the very tenets of the US Constitution. However, it seems like the "coup thesis" only really works if Paulson presents the next President with the same ultimatum he is doing now...that is, he insists that only HE is smart enough to understand how to steer America through this.
      Interesting thoughts and links here, folks. Thanks!

    • Has the Sun Set on Solar Energy Stocks? [view article]
      jcordes - I am not sure what thesis you are referring to. The main thesis in this piece is that my earlier claim that solar has decoupled from oil was erroneous. We can argue about cause and effect, but numerically (mathematically) the correlation is there...as oil has come down, solar has generally come down. And of course, that could change again at some point later.
      JoeJoe - I did not talk much about specific entry and exit points on the various plays based on the technicals, but I certianly would want to open a fresh short STP on a bounce and not chase it downward...

    • Percentages of Stocks Above 50-Day Moving Averages [view article]
      The conclusion I come to from this data is that it is time to start buying energy and selling almost all other sectors... In particular, these kinds of indicators typically top out around the 80% before giving way to a correction... Aug 31 04:10 PM
    • Looming Financial Catastrophe: A Real Inconvenient Truth [view article]
      This sounds like a background primer to read before going to see I.O.U.S.A. Good stuff. It sure seems like an "irate minority" is slowly but surely positioning this country for fundamental and much needed change. Aug 24 12:29 PM
    • Freddie's Loss is Gold's Gain [view article]
      Good stuff. I am with you on this one. I just bought more gold on the latest dip given I could get prices from the beginning of this year again. According to the long-term picture, it seems we have to brace for the potential of a further drop to $700 or $650 before the next up-phase begins? Aug 24 09:47 AM
    • Bush Approval Rating and Oil: Interesting Correlation [view article]
      Nice correlation, but you could draw similar correlations with the dollar, gold, other commodities, etc... The oil correlation is mainly of interest because Bush is a (former) oil man. Aug 19 11:44 PM
    • Painful Surprises and Big Lessons with Precious Metals & Energy [view article]
      Interesting perspective. I had no considered coordinate action to try to prop up the dollar. I just thought that currency traders simply "exhausted" their shorts and selling. Either way, the dollar's bounce sure has all the feel of a sharp, dead-cat bounce in an overall bear market. Aug 17 04:09 PM
    • Oil Will Only Fall So Far [view article]
      Great stuff, Mr. Fitzsimmons. I particularly appreciate the reminder that Russian aggression is partially a response to U.S. maneuvering around the corner, in the backyard, and at the doorstep! Aug 13 11:47 PM

      I will just add that I never cease to enjoy the commentary and banter between and amongst the gold bugs and the gold skeptics. :) Aug 13 02:40 AM
