A Bear in Bull's Clothing: We're Not Buying This Rally

So I see you missed all the huge gains the rest of us just made. Hey I feel for you. And if you were shorting the market, ... then oh dear what can I say?

As for your article you haven't a clue what you are talking about do you? But it sounds all good and there are lots of 'economic' and 'financial' sounding words mixed in with your self importance and sore loser-ness.

For your sake I hope the market goes down again so that you can say 'I was right' ... and feel important again. And then go long...

Best wishes, CJ

Three Reasons the Stimulus Will Fail

Most of you up there including V.Dar appear to be jobless ex - 'masters of the universe' with nothing better to do than appear to be the former know-it-alls. Newsflash: you had it coming. Now if you have nothing better to do then go and get a job at McD.. to occupy yourselves rather than pouting off tired GOP sentiments that never worked.

As for 'the best brains never saw it coming' .. duh! there weren't any. The previous admin was run by the brain dead.

Gold's Hedging Power Is As Good As Ever

There is no "hedging power". It's only your illogical speculation.
I felt Matt's article was a drop of sanity in an ocean of gold pumpers. Actually last week there was a hint of use for gold when a girlfriend said she liked gold jewellry because it did not give her skin rash. But after some thought I decided I did not think gold jewellry looked very nice on her in any case. So that went in the dustbin.
As for "hedging power"... gold was valuable in the 16th century as were horses the only mode of transport then. I would say buying gold is about the same as all of us buying a horse or two in case .... we run out of oil?? ..the world returns to the dark ages?? Give me a break. Hey but don't get me wrong if it gives you all a thrill to shrilly cry out about gold then who am I to stand in your way. However I shall let you in on a little secret, you may find the odds of gain just as good at your local casino or dog track.
