Saut: It's Time to Reduce 'Stuff' Stocks, Buy High Yielders

Sure is nice to see a plug for money in investors' accounts touted ! Instead of pie - in - the - sky promises put in investors' heads to justify investing in stocks with ZERO YIELDS! I'll take that 11% LINN yield until well after I retire. The fact that LINN is a huge owner of energy properties here in th US is icing on the cake.

Gold is Money - And Nothing Else

The chief reason the Federal government mandates that ONLY their currency is legal tender is to maintain control over the mostly light - brained people/ sheeple. They hate Gold because they cannot manipulate Gold the same way they manipulate paper money. Although the Fed has tried to control privately held Gold by confiscating it from the people/ scheeple, making the world honor the dollar at Bretton Woods and finally telling other nations to go screw themselves by cutting off Gold redemptions, (Nixon in 1971). The same game has been played many times in the past cantury with ALL government paper monies having expired worthless. Americans will respond only when their worthless dollars cease to be redeemable for life's necessities. And Gold, (as well as Silver), will once again be recognized as real money, (despite the government's scorched-earth campaign to suppress real money).

GE May Spin Appliances Unit, Not Sell It

Hey Simple Simon, Forget about washing out of your helmet - they're Kevlar now, (and would probably break down / dissolve if you put water in them. Your premise is right on. How many "Adults" would even put down the remote to tend their garden? Right now, very few. Wait a few years though, and I bet at least 100% more will actually perform manual labor. It is funny how hunger motivates
people.

Time To Abandon Stocks?

INVESTORS: It is a sure thing that the dollar will be worth less each succeeding year, but it is probable that a share of stock in a quality company will be the same piece of the company in ten years. Which is better? (We are comparing only US Dollars and equities. Commodities will probably outperform both for at least 10 years.)

Time to Buy Gold

Gold is REAL and HONEST money and therefore is government's worst enemy. I bought back in today, (trade entered Sun. May 18th), as I perceived Gold to have hit it's bottom and the Fed power to suppress Gold's price is fast coming to an end. The next leg up begins NOW!

How Much Is NovaGold Worth?

Glad to see some serious number-crunching on Novagold , (NG). The author has brought out some good points. The recommendation from OI was at $8.43 and my broker couldn't get me in until NG hit $10.09. This one is a keeper - maybe the most undervalued gold miner on the planet. I have many reasons for holding it, one being that they are in the US and not subject to nationalization, (I hope). I have experience with forreign miners - Apex and Gammon. Apex has the largest probable Silver reserves in the world, but that didn't mean jack when El Presidente threatened nationalization. The stock dropped. Then he mounted the inaugural stage wearing a necklace made of Coca leaves and I headed for the exit. My point is this: Political Risk is very real and could make any foreign mine holdings drop 70% overnight. Especially since the US Geological survey says there is 20 years of Gold left, (less of Silver), on Earth.

Beijing Olympics May Have Negative Impact on Chinese Investments

Hey Cheryl_Stevens, The first rule of the most successful investors: Do Not Lose Money. If the author can make a few bucks by selling a stock and buying back the same stock at a cheaper price later, more power to him. The days of Hold - & - Hope investing as a successful
strategy are long gone. Get used to it.

The 'Death of Gold' Revisited

Am always surprised and bemused that those who delight in slamming Gold ignore the fact that one US Dollar printed today is worth 4 CENTS of a 1916 dollar; however every ounce of Gold - the Midas metal - is still buying the same amount - or more - of "stuff", (food,etc.) as it did in 1916. And Gold will still have value as it did 50 centuries ago while countless fiat currencies have come and gone
in that time.

Cleantech "Power 10" Ranking (Vol. I)

Lots of good information here. Both Wind and Solar have their pluses and minuses, (sure was glad to hear from fellow XSNX.OB investor, (StateOfConfusion). Upon thoughtful analysis, I do think the cost of wind power will go up more than solar, (especially as solar efficiences improve).

Gold as an Investment? Think Again

All the governments of the world have con-vinced most folks that fiat money spun from paper, (think lead turned into gold), is the real measure of wealth, mostly because the government enforces fiat money on everyone). However, real money always wins out over fiat money. That is when owning gold pays off.

Silver ETF Starts Off the Year Strong: Can It Continue to Shine?

Simple - it is run by Deutsche Bank - one of the world's largest banks
and taking some horrendpus losses themselves.

Silver ETF Starts Off the Year Strong: Can It Continue to Shine?

On SLV: Look who controls the ETF SLV - JP Morgan Chase. They have debt of over $7 for every $1 in deposits, (highest ratio of any US major bank). At the worst they are simply taking investors' money for non-existent silver. Ever notice how the major banks of the world introduce most of the ETFs? At the very least Chase is skimming SLV's gains to put in their own coffers to offset their horrendous losses. How does my DBA ETF, (100% food), lose money when a global food crisis is threatening hundreds of millions of the world's people with starvation?

Solar Power Will Be Transformational in the Next Decade

An excellent article! It is refreshing to read the article and reader comments on the critical subject of Solar energy. I anticipate that Solar energy will grow by at least 25 times in the US, especially after I
read thar wind power is losing credibility with many investors due to negative environmental factors, (such as killing birds).

The Bull Case for Uranium

"In addition, the byproducts from burning coal are more radioactive than nuclear waste." If that is the case then the majority of the public opposition to nuclear will ease and, even in developed countries with significant current opposition to nuclear power, nuclear power stock will
skyrocket.

Jim Rogers' Picks and Pans - Barron's Interview

Even the great Jim Rogers will take note of Petrobras', (PBR), announcement of a 33 Billion Barrel find of Oil off their coast, (this is on top of their find out in the Atlantic a month or two ago). To top things off, PBR officials said there could be substantial oil finds in other oceans around the world, (and that is 70% of the earth's surface).
