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]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/1189531/comments?source=feed#comment-15084091 15084091 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!

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]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/1174331/comments?source=feed#comment-14909561 14909561 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.

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!

You have a certain amount of income promises to retirees and near retirees. For four years now you've watched the income component of your portfolio drop by as much as 85%. You ask: How am I to fund these payouts? I guess I'll just have to pick the top of the stock market just right to raise the cash. Or, I can just start selling stocks each and every month, but then, won't that kind of selling accelerate the selling? Answer:Of course!

Chad]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/1147111/comments?source=feed#comment-14412521 14412521 I appreciate your prescient article. You are among a myriad of thinkers/authors who are making attempts at predicting the future: And that's fine!
However, in the end predicting will not be effective - or proactive. First. all of us must prepare! And really, we're not sure for what! Sure, we might have hyperinflation, but that's just the beginning! Also we must prepare for breakdowns in order, losses of sovereignty, and even epidemics as health care gets savaged.
This impending debalce has me studying how the Roman empire broke down. I mean the process. It took 800 years to fully occur.
In the fourth century what was the middle class had to sell their property for protection. In the fifth century, while Germanic tribes were invading the Itallian peninsula and No Africa Gaulists in West Gaul were still enjoying a nice living. First, I think Texas may secede!

But the flash point is QE. Why a leftist - liberal president ( and congress generally) allowed all this liquidity to be force fed into financial assets is, frankly, a scandal!

Chad in CO]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/1137641/comments?source=feed#comment-14262721 14262721 I am finding it very difficult to rationalize how we can have a housing boom. We have underemployment at still 16 - 17%. This fact alone puts a lid on wage growth. Essential inflation is still on the rise, although I'll give you some relief in gas prices. But go to the grocery store! It seems to me that the only way for a housing boom is to make the same housing debt mistake we just made and are trying to get out of. Where am I wrong?
