  • Reality Check for Japanese Commodity Price Estimates
    ...because when the Japanese oil execs annouce earnings, they can surprise to the upside with oil at $120+ instead of oil at $85, and rake big bonusses.

  • Are Commodities Reversing or Consolidating?
    I just made a chart of the ratio of the CRB to the S&P500 and a chart of the ratio of the CRB to gold.
    Total surprise! Against the S&P500, the CRB trades at the lowest levels in more than 10 years!!! Against gold, it trades at the lowest level in more than 20 years!!!

    Commodities are in a total anti-bubble...

  • Are Commodities Reversing or Consolidating?
    From the comments above I get the impression that all we care about is the ultra short term, < 1 year.
    Is anyone at all investing for the long term, > 3 years? I own a few shares of RJI and buy when the stock gets hammered. Not planning to sell all until well after 2010. Likely when DOW/GOLD is back to 1.

  • Invest and Stop Working
    Nice novel, this book. Now I would like to see some proof that the story is actually true.
    Dividend paying stock are so great you say? Well, financial stocks like Citi and BofA pay big dividends, so jump in! LOL
    Canadian trusts also pay big dividends, so jump in! LOL

    Gimme a break...

  • The Competitive Advantage of Stock Exchanges Without Parking Lots
    I am wondering how the Pakistani currency performed during 2000 - 2008.
    If you wanna see a stockmarket mania, look at the graphs of the Turkey and Zimbabwean stockmarkets.

  • Will the Fed Intervene to Prop Up the Dollar?
    It seems to me that EUR/USD will trade between 1.55 - 1.60 for another month or so, but eventually breaks out above 1.60 for a run to 2.0, similar to the period 06/2006 - 10/2006.
    However, when interest rates differentials narrow, i.e. the FED raising and/or the ECB lowering rates, EUR/USD will come down to perhaps 1.45 or so.

  • The Best Safe-Haven Investments, and Some Potential Threats
    Mark Anthony, you have shown some lack of historical knowledge on the purchasing power of gold.
    Gold has proven to be a reliable store of wealth for ages. "A fine mens suit hundreds of years ago will cost about the same in gold as it does today".
    Moreover, during the 30's, prices of goods dropped relative to gold. Thus your purchasing power increased.
    Secondly, during the Weimar hyperinflation, the internal prices of the Weimar republic dropped relative to gold. Again, the purchasing power of gold within the Weimar republic increased.

    Your argument that "you cannot eat gold" is true. But neither can you eat platinum, palladiium, copper, etc.

    If it get's really bad and the world enters a depression, no one needs metals to build cars, homes, infrastrucure, because demand will be ZERO. Might was well hold a few ounces of gold...

  • Gold to Replicate Oil's Parabolic Move; 30-yr Treasury Yields to Soar
    I do not think that yield on US treasuries will go much higher than say 5.25%. The FED will cap interest rates at these levels similar to the 40's, buying large amounts of treasuries.

  • Proposed Solution to Decline in American Wealth: Free Trade
    FED should persue ultra-tight monetary policy to strengthen the dollar. Congress should enact import trarifs against "dumping" of Chinese products.
    As a result, commodity prices will be lower and manufacturing will flock back to the US. The "one-way free trade" we have seen so far does not work.

  • ETF Update: There's Gold in Them Thar Hills!
    I'm not sure where you get the P/E ratio of 309 from, but I find the P/E ratio is about 19, at least according to Yahoo: finance.yahoo.com/q?s=...
