Stocks vs. Commodities: Which is a Better Investment?

or the RICI?? where is the RICI?

FINRA Has Firms Scrambling: Morgan Stanley Next to Review Leveraged ETFs

Possible yes, probable no. unless the dow drops to 3000 from here, in one go they r never going to reach that far up. they can triple though from their current stage

Markets Are Heading Higher

Dude, if I was a millionaire, I would get my money out of stocks as soon as possible and put it in Asia or Europe where the currency would be strong. I might put it in commodities too but i would think about putting it in dollar dinominated assets. By selling my millions and millions of stocks I would just crash the S&P and not think twice about doing it.

Keep buying

An accounting rule allowing JPMorgan (JPM) to transform bad loans it bought from WaMu into income is about to net the bank $29B. Wells Fargo (WFC), BoA (BAC) and PNC Financial (PNC) are poised to benefit from the same rule.

what a joke

Sources say Goldman Sachs (GS), JPMorgan (JPM) and Morgan Stanley (MS) have applied to repay a combined $45B in TARP loans, a move analysts say will not only remove them from the spotlight, but also demonstrate their relative health, helping them attract customers, staff, and capital.

The issue is not if they are selling their assets to pay back tarp. WHO CARES...But if their business model can give them future earnings which investors will find attractive....and this relative health thing is a joke. BAC is relatively healthier than AIG....and Fred mac is realtively healthier than Fannie mae.....uh..so?

"their relative health"....lol

Don't Be Fooled by Inflation

Just by listening to Peter Schiff, Meredith Whitney, Jim Rogers and Marc Faber....I get the feeling that these people have sat down and worked hard to understand the big picture........anyone with sound logic has no choice than to take their advice and words into serious consideration.........if you want to believe a bunch of crooks in wall street and the government then good luck to you......my portfolio is smiling at the moment thanks to the above, i shorted all investment banks back in the summer.....had i listened to the government or those clowns at CNBC i would have been bankrupt....its actually very simple.

New Mark-to-Market Rules: Playing Pretend

It isnt fair, I asked my broker to mark up my stocks and he refused. When he asked me why, I replied that, mark to market has been changed and i thought that my stocks were worth 500% more, because they were not very liquid.......is this a privilige that only banks get???????

Howard Ruff of the Ruff Times letter has been outspoken in his rejection of this rally. Even so, he expects more positive action in bank stocks, assuming regulators can 'correct' fair-value accounting rules. "If the mark-to-market rule changes soon," he says, "bank and brokerage stocks will rally, perhaps dramatically."

Does this mean we can each mark to imagination our assets too, or is this a banks privilage??

Buyer Beware: 30 Biggest Bankruptcy Risks

stop complaining and do your own research

Marc Faber: 'It Will All End in Disaster'

Marc ,Jim Rogers , are philosophers of economics , both have Phds (unlike many wiseazzs on here complaining). They travel the world constantly they are directors of funds and advisors to companies....most "professional investors" and "analysts" and "traders" ...watch CNBC , Bloomberg and CNN...and believe what fake government data comes out every now and then.....Marc and Rogers have realised that the entire financial infrastructure was corrupt and phoney and have been vocal about it for almost 3 years now.....People that dont take their advice seriously are either very young arrogant and totally unwise....perhaps those 28 year olds driving mazeraties (soon to be driving tractors)....or old and stupid.....like Art Lafter, or those fast money idiots on CNBC.

10 Reasons Why We Still Haven't Hit Bottom

he he.....lots of people lost money here and now they blame it on silly reasons but the most important one is:

1. Americas economy was run by Wall Street Sociopaths and their government servants which n the end showed that they didnt have a clue about economics...........and to ice the cake .....they are the ones that are trying to save america..............DOW TO 3000 with any luck. Then hyperinflation.......then possibly a war and history here we come again!

3 ETNs Delisting from NYSE; 6 ETFs Shutting Down

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW ONE CAN RECOGNISE AN ETF OR ETN THAT IS IN DANGER AS FAR AS THE ISSUER IS CONCERNED...NOT THE ACTUAL INVESTMENT.....so I want to buy RJI but I am not sure if the bank that is banking it is solvent. Then there is the GLD.....is there any chance that it is a scum?? what are the warning signs that one can should look for.....ETFs and ETNs are becoming very popular and I am not sure if this will be another "tech bubble....suckers trap"....thanks

Jim Rogers' Recent Portfolio Moves

I have seen many of his interviews from 2003 and 2005 and 6....I am telling you this guy beats Rubini too....he has some sort of philosophical fundamental perspective that many other do not. I think that he is amazing, and if people dont want to follow his siggestions I think they should learn from his investment philosophy.....and stop acting like hedge fund manager, cnbc anchor, broker.....wise ass know it alls....cause they will end up driving tractors!!!!...lol
