Looking Into Parker Drilling's Earnings Miss [View article]
Mr. Murdock, Parker's recent price debacle is the reason so many individuals are out of stocks, and will remain so. When one purchases such an encouraging uptrend as Parker and then gets clobbered in a matter of hours, it's too much. Fortunately for me I got in early and sold out immediately, thus making decent gains in an otherwise very disappointing experience. Will I get back in? Probably not. Chad in CO
20 Signs The U.S. Economy Is Heading For Big Trouble In The Months Ahead [View article]
When ( or if) we must endure a 30% or more market correction, whose money is really lost? Think about it. Fed driven liquidity goes directly to stocks. Stocks then lose all of their gains for the past Fed driven two years. A year or so ago someone coined it correctly: "Socialized losses/private gains." It's our grandkids money that's being swallowed in the black hole, folks! Chad in CO
Mr. Luongo, This is war! Nothing short of it. There exists in the global frame of things a prodigious effort to discredit gold and precious metals. I call it the "full court press." The main offensive is from the money printers and presently perma bulls who must avoid all the coincident tragedies that accompany a bear market in stocks and all that goes with it. Think about it! If, or when, we experience another deflation in stock prices (and bond prices) what can the printers do then, except surrender! And what about the rest of us? Scary, indeed! Chad in CO

Mr. Flynn, I believe that you're being just plain too esoteric. Stock prices are disconnected from all realities except one - Fed induced liquidity! I have yet to read one satisfactory explanation away from the fact that Fed printing goes pretty much directly into stocks and bonds. And since this liquidity (a.k.a. money) is directed into seventeen (17) financial firms all with trading access, well, the rest is easy. Never mind 2007 or 2000, this is 1929! Chad in CO

Ms. Brown, You read like George McGovern - back in 1972. You know, most readers are not esoteric banking/finance experts. So, from a layman's perspective what you write just sounds like "breathing in without breathing out." Chad in CO
Why Hyperinflation Is A Myth (And What It Means For Gold Prices) [View article]
Mr. Macro, My point is that financial asset prices are using up the growth of money. I remember the '70's when money growth went directly to metals and commodities - as well as consumer prices. It looks almost like force-feeding. Chad

Mr. Desai, You read like a permabull writing a defense of your bias. If all of us would agree with you, you'd feel so much better. You're very correct about the trend on stock prices though. But remember, when bull markets come to a close most analysts and pundits are bullish! Chad in CO
Why Hyperinflation Is A Myth (And What It Means For Gold Prices) [View article]
But we do have inflation! For example, the S & P 500 is up a whopping 127% since its trough in march '09. That takes a lot of dough! And what about gold, silver, copper, and other precious and rare earth metals? Those prices are also up a chunk. There's inflation, just not where you a looking. And when these markets go into their inevitable correction (or worse), there will be painful deflation. Chad in CO

Economists can theorize and win noble prizes 'till the cows come home. But what does that have to do with reality? You know, like 2 + 2 = 4! What bankruptcy court do the Fed and treasury dept. appeal to? Chad in CO
