  • Apple: Major Concerns Overstated And More Than Priced In [View article]
    the stock is broken, only Tim Cook can fix it and he doesn't even seem to think that it's his job to do so. Please don't do what I did, put your retirement money into AAPL. Tim Cook has allowed the hedge funds to take this stock down.

    GLD has a reverse head and shoulders pattern in the 60 day chart. I am betting on a rise.

    problem with S & P is the bad stocks get taken out and the S & P lumbers on. Real return (including bad stocks) must be lower, someone should study that.

  • Why Dick Bove Is Wrong About Citigroup [View article]
    Yes, the press was so nice to President Bush, wishing him success in whatever he did..... what does Rush Limbaugh have to do with anything? Isn't he a radio personality???
    I agree that the CEO wouldn't have possibly leaked info to the public.

  • The Greatest Depression Is Coming [View article]
    Other problems.

    Stock market has become a place for TRADING and not investing. Is is just another Ponzi scheme dreamed up by the fincancial community? Who pays for all of those analysts, stock brokers, and Hedge fund managers? It is us boomers with 401-K's still believing that we can make 10% per year by dumping 10% of our earnings into Mutual Funds?.

    Let's see, what level was the dow in 1999??

  • Lessons Learned From An Apple Bull [View article]
    yes, I agree, AAPL should buy Netflix and any other content providers as I have previously written on SA. If they own the content, they get 100% of revenue from the iPhone/iPad base vs the 30% that they get now. I suggest that they buy NFLX and then offer 99 cent movies to their customers through NFLX, keeping the unlimited $8.99 option for big movie users. Everyone will spend a buck to watch a movie. NFLX would come pre-loaded on iPhone and iPad.

  • The One Reason to Own Gold and Silver [View article]
    I was at the National Musuem of Rome two weeks ago. They have a very large exhibit of coins from the Roman empire. early coins were crude bronze, but as the empire grew, the coins became beautiful designs in gold and silver. Around the third century, Ceasar proclaimed that all currency (gold and silver) had to be exchanged for the new coinage which was 5% silver (the rest being bronze I would guess)
    Well, it may be coincidental, but the empire grew weaker and weaker and soon fell.

  • Whitney Tilson Explains Why He's Buying BP Shares [View article]
    because governments are very greedy. The US govt could fine them $100 Billion. Geez, he could fine them $500 Billion. What is to stop them from doing this?? Lawsuits will get higher and higher. The president is threatening them. To him $800 Billion stimulus is chicken feed.

  • Gold, Dollar, Euro: 2010 'Menage a Trois'? [View article]
    It doesn't take a lot of diversifying of US$ holders to ding the dollar and raise Gold prices. China only needs to buy a few billion in gold here and there to raise prices. Remember that the total value of all gold assets held by China is 1054 tons (about $27 Billion) is only 1/20th of the ammount of dollars being held as reserve by China $600 Billion.. India and Russia have a little more gold, but the principal still applies. gold will go up because it is scarce. the dollar can only go down.
