Silver and Gold: More Than Just A Christmas Carol

After reading what some of the anti-gold guys have been saying about holding GLD, I'm convinced that the 18%/year I've achieved for the last 3 years is an illusion. I had better get off my ass and sell my GLD shares and put all those imaginary profits in C, GM, BAC, SPY, MSFT, etc,etc,etc..........

Gold: Not an Effective Hedge Against Inflation

let's forget about the name calling and talk about history and what the "experts" say. ...... will some one please come up with a list of stocks, funds and ETF's that have done better than GLD in the last few years.......

As Good as Gold?

Hey Larry, can I get a refund on your book that I bought last year.......

Here's what I think of your advice.........

Why Gold Hasn't Been a Hedge Against Inflation

big macs (MCD) has done better than GLD for the last 3 years but that is it....... GLD has done 18%/yr average since it's creation in November of 2004 so what's the problem with that......... use a 300 dSMA and SET YOUR "STOPS" then get a life. Do it in your self directed IRA to avoid tax hassles.

Madoff Scandal: 'Biggest Story of the Year'

Easy come, easy go........
Where do all these Forrest Gumps come from.....

Portfolio Preservation in a Down Market

"Buy and hold" is a sales gimmick.......
"Diversification" is a sales gimmick......
"Dollar cost averaging" is a sales gimmick but can be useful for many people in an IRA.........
"Efficient market theory" is nonsense........
Puts, calls, Cramer, Brinker and over 90% of mutual funds are BS... (ETF's are superior).........
Just be sure to set your "stops"....... an exit strategy is the most important thing in investing... IMHO
Buying individual stocks is for fools........ IMHO
KEEP IT VERRRRRY SIMPLE !!!!!

So We Find a Bottom - Then What?

Inflation? Deflation? Who knows? The monkeys on Wall St and in Washington sure don't know. They created the problem so why do ppl think they can fix it.
CASH is KING for quite a long time, believe it !!!

The Smartest People to Follow

Use a 400 dSMA......
Above the line use VTI or even better, FFNOX (Fidelity 4 in 1 fund) for less volatility......
If the equity index fund (or FFNOX) drops below the line then switch to TLT or IEF.......
TIP's are a waste now.........
Best in an self directed IRA.........

I do use CGMFX in my taxable acct.....OUCH... 10% payout last year......... PRPFX also.. a great fund, tax efficient and great quarterly stats........

CE Spending Looks Dismal - But Macs Set to Hit New All-Time High

great article.............. great comments

Just What the Doctor Ordered: Healthcare and Biotech ETF Review

I've been in FSMEX (Fidelity select medical equipment) for a long time and it's very stable........... ck the quarterly reports and risk assessment at Yahoo financial....... very low standard deviation and very good Sharpe ratio

Getting Out of Today's Bear Market

Where I'm at, at least until the stop-loss numbers kick in:
IRA...
Swiss francs (FXF)
GLD
DJP
TIP
FLVCX ( FIDELITY LEVERAGED FUND )
Taxable..........
FCSTX ( Fidelity short/intermediate muni fund )
CGMFX ( Ken Heebner is the best but had a big payout in December )
NO STOCKS EVER
KEEP IT SIMPLE AND ALWAYS BE PREPARED TO BAIL OUT !!!!

The U.S. Dollar: A Six Month Outlook

Does Bernanke inspire confidence? Can John McCain balance a checkbook? Is Obama anything but another bum/charlatan/con artist out of Chicago?
We are in bigger trouble than at any in the last 50 years..........

Nowhere to Turn for Market Relief?

TIP's are fine as is DJP........... SP500 is below 1000dSMA....... time to boogie

Why I'm Still Holding Onto Gold

"GOLD IS GOOD".......... been in it 3 years and since the dollar which is being destroyed by the fools in Washington and on Wall St. it looks like I'll be in it a lot longer....... Swiss francs (FXF) are good too....... I sold all American junk and have been heavy into Canada (EWC) and Brazil (EWZ) for over 2 years........... DJP is a favorite .......it's all about things in the ground and grow out of the ground from here on out folks, believe it.......... BUT, be sure to set your stops... :) :)

Who's to Blame for the Commodities Boom?

The real problem is the supply of resources is lessening while the demand for resources is growing......... Population growth is the real problem.......
