Nominal vs. Real Gains

I don't think the general public will give a rip about the dollar steady decline until food prices go up even more as well as gas at the pump. Then it should hit home. Anyone remember limits on bags of rice at Costco last year? Of course markets anticipate everything 6-9 months ahead, and available hedges will have already gone up i.e. GLD, USO, XLE, DBA ect. Also look out for a countertrend dollar rally and be ready to add.

Gone Nowhere in 8 Years

I think I remember when AIG was added to the down a few years ago.

How to Trade Natural Gas, Crude Oil and Gold ETF Funds

I would take a look at SJT, this USED to pay out .20+ per month. if gas goes up, the payout will improve.

The End of the End: Much Needed Perspective on 'Recession Is Over' Debate

All you need to remember is that Goldman said the S & P would finish 2008 around 1650, while they were "internally" short. They were selling mortgages to investors that they were betting against with there own money. Where are they putting they dough now? They just upped the S & P year end target. great time for them to short again. hope i am right!

Is Natural Gas About to Break Higher?

watching SJT, sold this one in Jan 2008 for a lot more, if gas has bottomed, this will pay out more and more in the years to come.

On Shorting Gold and Silver, Unemployment, and Taxpayer Backed Loans

Watching the Jan 2011 95 strike GLD calls for the last 1.5 months (as i own them), every major "buy" or "transaction" seemed to be on the ask price. open interest has gone up around 600 contracts since i got in in mid may.

Today in Commodities: Wednesday, July 1

The only thing that worries me on the nat gas is that everybody is in agreement that it has to go up. I just hope there is enough bear cases out there to offset our bullishness. Talk yesterday of "cracking the nat gas code" may be just what we need to wash out the weak players.

Treasuries Make a Comeback

sold 2/3 of my tbt yesterday, hey, go to keep the 100 shares in the Roth b/c you can't use options anyways.

AMJ: New ETN Offers More Access to Master Limited Partnership Market

Why don't you look at kaynefunds.com. Disclosure = Long KYE and KED in my Roth. No tax at ALL, especially important if the Obamanator RAISES taxes. I would wait and try to add to KYE around 12 ish and KED at 10 ish.

Taxpayers vs. Investors: The Imminent Disinformation Schism

Good job man, we need more RAW INFO out there.

Observations on the Total U.S. Debt

Right now I am carrying as much debt at 3% to 5.75% as possible. Just lost my job in commercial construction as we lagged the cycle by 2 years from resid const. I figure if no one is worried about the insolvent american gov't, why should I give a hoot about paying off my own balance sheet. I am going to trade all my cash and hope I out perform the debt cost after interest tax deduct (I hope they don't eliminate it!). Wish me luck.

Hints of Risk Appetite Returning to the Stock Market?

Any comment on the Pound, Auzzi and Loonie? v. Dollar that is. If I increase the money supply from 10 Trillion +/- to 15 Trillion in 3 months, shouldn't that have an impact?
