A Precious Metals Wish for 2011 - Stop the Darn Transactions [View article]
And now we know the rest of the story. Warren Buffet says" do not invest in companies where the board and management treat the stock holders as patsies". You have shed a great deal of light with this report. One of the most useful things I have read in seeking alpha. Thanks.
The Calm Before the Stock Market Storm [View article]
So let me get this straight. Republicans are stupid/corrupt and Nancy, Barney, Chris, Harry and the merry band are really Robin hoods in disguise. Now let us consider Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny. The real problem is the American voter allowing any of these people to run much less win. This polarization of the American public to vote for a party instead of someone who makes sense is killing us. Everything you have said was not stated by any candidate that I know of. Angry biased rants like yours with no basis in fact are very destructive to the process. Neither party has a monopoly on stupidity, corruption, or good legislation. The ineptness of our government has been carried on from administration to administration and from congress to congress. Folks voting for thousands of pages of legislation that they never read and if they had wouldn't have understood it weather regulating finance or medical care is nothing short of madness and we allow them to represent us this way. Of course with the main stream press and entertainment industry in the bag it is very hard for the public to get the real facts. Go figure!!!!!!!!!!!

The only people that won anything are GM employees and pensioners.(Unions). Everyone else paid. This is all about Union political money going to Obama and company. That was the big loss concern that took GM from stock holders and bond holders and gave it to the governments of US and Canada and the Unions If you think this was great for tax payers just wait until the still unfunded pension debacle winds up on your tax bill. You would have to be a major league sucker to invest in this,but the banks and brokerages that underwrote this IPO will dump it on the unsuspecting public at a profit. I can smell the phony numbers and analysis now.

If you really had a brain you wouldn't have to keep bragging it would show up in your writing. Braggart's are people who are trying to hide there insecurity and uselessness and usually fool very few. If you are a leading academic energy economist how come no one ever heard of you except here?

David Roskoph, I don't think the storm has passed, and yes gold is driven higher by public fear, what other emotion would make sense in the current enviironment of mistrust that now exist?
Inflation Not a Valid Reason to Own Gold [View article]
China as one alpha commenter pointed out to me is the largest miner of gold in the world today. Instead of selling it for currency(exporting) they are buying more (importing) and encouraging their citizens who everyday have more income to do the same. China also continually exchanges the money we send them(mostly for useless junk) for oil wells, mines, ores,finished resource such as steel and copper etc.(useful stuff) Maybe you haven't seen inflation since 1970,but in 1969 after returning from Vietnam I bought a brand new Ford Maverick for about $2400. Where can I buy a new car now that an American family can fit into for that money. As for fear I for one am still afraid. Rational folks have every reason to be afraid of inflation and currency debasement and see the value in owning things that do not become rancid or spoil over time like agricultural land,minerals and petroleum in the ground, and the easily storable ones like gold and silver etc.in hand. If you want to know where the future lies just watch the Chinese and do what they are doing. There is no future in Listening to political blowhards and talking head shills.

Why would any serious investor sell shares of XOM? This company is constantly buying back shares and raising it's dividend. Now if you are one of those willy nilly traders, that is another story. Good luck with that!

Yep. Sell at the bottom. Great advise. Go ahead make the most common greenhorn mistake. Oh that's right you don't have a position. sooooo, the only folks that can get hurt with your advise is folks that do.
What the price of gold was in 1980 is as irrelevant as what nasdaq was in 2000. Those situations have nothing to do with today. The 1980 price was a blip on the screen and most of the nasdaq companies that caused that bubble no longer exist. The rest of your comment makes good sense.
The housing boom and the employment boom were the same thing. Most of the people who built the houses and other jobs connected to them are the folks now unemployed. Housing/building construction was our last great employer after all the other big employers went overseas/outsourced and at the end most of the workers here were aliens who sent most of their pay out of the country to folks at home.
