Tuesday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets
<< Return to page 1 - Financials Under the Gun
Sure! Give them a hand for entertainment if nothing else. But, in all seriousness, yesterday was scary. We all know the financials are in deep trouble. But will Fannie and Freddie become default candidates? Will the American auto industry survive? And, Merrill Lynch (MER) is holding a sidewalk sale if you happen to be around Wall and Broad. These are pretty unnerving conditions. Therefore you have to applaud those fearless hedge funds and trading desks [and whomever else you think has that muscle] with the funds and moxie to put the squeeze on anytime they like, no matter the news.
Have a pleasant day.

Believe them at your own risk...
I (and others) will buy GLD this morning at levels not seen yet, and Gold will rise in the next few weeks at rates so fast that there will be no stopping it. We have waited as we watched the heavy hand of market manipulation hold the top on the top down on a pressure cooker...
I believe it is as low as it will ever be in our lifetime (+/-3.00 intraday the next two volatile weeks). Buy now or cry later.
one problem ~ oil supply. I believe can be temporary...fuel from algae DOES look realistic and promising in the near term.
the other problem ~ i remember gold at 300...if the fed did contract the money supply that price would come back, or something near it. And contract the money supply is what the Fed did after the 1929 crash...if any meaty connection can be made i'm not sure.
they've been crashing the dollar to usher in the Amero. possibly.
Until we get abundant energy, we can count on destabilized markets. And our screwed up currency doesn't help...and if the nations of earth get tired of paying for their oil with dollars, we could have another problem...
Thanks Fry ~ always insightful
prolly means a run-up to quicken their heartbeats.
Thanks.
