  • Enlightening the Gold Bugs [View article]
    Well Ladies and Gentlemen, Mark sure has struck a chord !!! Congrats Mark you've acheived your goal...just like a radio talk show host increases his ratings by disturbing and motivating their listeners to react !!
    My comments are based upon my personal experiences, when in 1978, I began my career as a Stock and Commodities Broker, with a BA Psychology. BFD, you might say...and I would agree with you. The only reason I point this out, is that I have lived and died a few times at the hands of Mr. Market and I hope I can shed some light that may save some of you from making mistakes that I have made in the past.

    1. Stop trying to outsmart the Market..It can't be done, with any consistency !!

    2. The Trend is your Friend...all you have to do is recognize it

    3. Buy on Fear and Sell on Greed...easily said..hard to do...you need a disciplined approach

    4. Never put all your eggs in one basket...you'll miss too many other opportunities !!

    5. BS baffles brains !! We all have a tendency to get lost in the "noise" and forget about the first 4 rules.

    Observations

    In my humble opinion, this is a Traders market..its not time to make any long term committments...since Nov 5th to Dec.19th, I've made 19 trades making over 92%.....Here's the good part, are you ready Mark ???

    Currently, I only have 2 positions on..SHORT $US/ LONG GOLD !!!

    Enough for now...Merry Christmas !!

    Good Luck to All !!

  • Why Does Cramer Have a Beef with Leveraged ETFs? [View article]
    The more things change the more they stay the same..."some insiders" think that leveraged ETF's are to blame "in part" for the Financial Crisis....what a joke !!! Look in the mirror Boys and Girls,,,We, yes "WE" didn't want to give up our "cake and eat it too" attitude...its just human nature!!
    Unfortunately, the "American Dream" has become a Nightmare...Mr. Market has had enough...its time to clean up the unscruptuolous corruption that pervades our entire system !!!
    Mr. Creamer, here's a challenge for you..lets go Head to Head...you are, without a doubt, one of the best fundalmentalists around.... I will stick with my, "Psychological Analysis" and we'll have some fun with it !!

    Who the Hell am I ?? Just a nobody who has a Psych. Degree and 30 years experience as a Broker and Financial Planner...Oh yeah, I'm Canadian too....What do you think..eh ?? Should we put the "Blades" on?

    Thanks for a Great Show !!
