  • When Will American Realize the World Has Changed?
    Cheap and abundant labor and resources is fueling the boom abroad. The United States is stifled by human rights laws, unions and other mechanisms which make us fundamentally American.

    Also, we have had no real leadership for the entire duration of the Bush administration. When Obama is elected, we will start moving forward without having to give-up our human and environmental rights in order to compete.

  • The New Wave of Infrastructure Investing - JP Morgan
    Yes, Asian currencies will rise against all Western currencies while multinational corporations take away from the West and give to the East where there are more potential consumers. First, the governments in the West need to speed-up their dumbing down of the populations before they can complete the transfer to avoid social unrest. If Asians don't allow their currencies to appreciate rapidly over the next two years, they will slip back into poverty; the government can only subsidize so much and needs to pay the bill for all these infrastructure products in the form of usage taxes/fees.

  • Why GE's Selling Its Appliance Division
    Has Haier even expressed interest? Would this fall under the Haier electronics subsidiary or the actual Haier of Beijing? Interesting you would suggest Haier could be a potential buyer; I would have said the same. It would be a major step-up in the U.S. market, but does Haier want/have capabilities to adapt to a higher-end market this soon in the game/U.S.?

  • CNBC: Sue Herrera Tells It Like It Is
    Anyone see the fighting between Dennis and Bill? Bill was treating Michelle and Dennis like crap; making fun of Dennis's voice and suggesting that he wants to have sex with Michelle. LOL - Poor Sue, she had to put up with that. The media was really strange today, Erin Burnett was making weird noises/chirps that was throwing people off, Hank Paulson's mic wasn't working and the fighting between anchors on CNBC. Dennis is on his way out, has been an odd character for the show from the beginning.

  • Why Google Invested in Clearwire
    If cities in the U.S. play this right, and deploy wimax in place of their existing worthless wifi citywide networks, it will revolutionize the way we get information and advertising in America. Google just needs to be sure that access will be provided at reasonable rates if not totally free and paid for by advertising; which by the way would be really cool! The U.S. has a lot of catching up to do with global cities, we are losing our cities to the infestation of criminals and worthless bodies. Making the cities hi-tech will retain some of the young pros and productive workers by making life a little more convenient/cooler.

  • The Easy-Money Days of Dollar Shorting May Be Over
    When Bush is voted out of office, the dollar and U.S. economy in general will rally just on that fact! The world's investors are salivating to get back into U.S. equities and investments in general; the Europeans are delusional thinking that Germans will bear the burden of keeping the Euro economy in check which will lead to political and economic instability in the Eurozone; the pound is bogus:check out Britain's debt levels, in the trillions! The only rallies against the dollar will come from ASIA where GoldminerSacks suggested they are undervalued still at 25%! When the Goldmans pump and dump these currencies a little further it will put tremendous pressure on the already frail Asian economies and further give the dollar strength going into 2010. Just my thoughts.

  • Natural Gas Sold Out: Stage Set for Long-Term Price Doubling
    The U.S. is missing out big time! While the rest of the world sets up these Sovereign Wealth Funds and goes prancing around the world buying power and prestige, our states are spending 60% of their budgets on WELFARE and flower lovers are preventing our oil companies from exploring on our own land. We are so backwards! The Russians are taking over where the U.S. oil Gods left off. They are exploring in areas like the Bay of Bengal, in cooperation with Burmese dictators we should have leveled off years ago, where they recently found the worlds largest known supply of natural gas - the Indians are gonna have a better energy supply then we will! We let that midget Hugo Chavez threaten us on our own soil?!!? The CIA must be made of a bunch of psychology and humanities majors who want to "understand" differences in the world. Uncle Sam needs to grow a set off balls and take back its cities and energy supplies before the rest of the world uses our flag for a doorstep. >=( grrrr...

  • U.S. Dollar Rallies On U.S. Corporate Earnings
    I like your website Grace, nice layout - everything right where it needs to be. Good info. Brains and beauty! ;P

    I think the dollar is setting itself up for the rally of a lifetime, a lot of "trader" dollars have reached or are near their apex abroad and are slowly coming back into the country. Take a look at the reversal of FDI funds in India, just one example of how the billions are slowly flowing out of developing markets and back to America. Don't miss out of this awesome rally we are about to witness. Sell your commodities and foreign currency before it happens! You can see the urge to get back into the U.S. dollar and equities.

  • Five Ways To Ride Gold to $1500
    I like GDX - moves nicely with ABX (Barrick Gold,) has a cushion of other holdings so the drops aren't as dramatic when gold flucuates but the rises are sweet as the individual miner stocks rally, especially considering we are coming out of the psychological barrier that has kept gold below $1,000 last few weeks, inflation should naturally take its course now.

  • Gold: The Last Cheap Asset Class
    Why does Cramer keep using the magic number $1,600.00 when talking about gold? Does he know something we don't or is this just another one of his gambles? I personally think it will be the only thing worth holding as an asset if we slip into environmental chaos and governments lose control. Something we investors tend to forget about while all caught-up in the money game; our environment is being ripped to shreads by the developing world, faster than the West could ever! NASA officials have even warned that the Whitehouse censors data which suggest we are past the tipping point.

  • Is Visa Really Priceless?
    Visa is a great company that will continue to make money; however, one must question the timing of the IPO and the amount of shares issued as stated in the article. I owned Visa a couple days after the IPO and sold after I looked a little more into it. Specifically, the litigation risks and number of banks that own it that are in debt.

  • A $1Million Wager for Gold Bears
    I think gold's uptrend will continue as governments and people continue to purchase it and miners continue to have difficulties extracting as much as they did and as energy efficiently as they did in the past. Initially I thought it was way too expensive and was waiting for it to pull back down to 400 but saw that demand, especially from India, has been picking-up significantly. Now China is trading gold futures and as their currency rises and they have more purchasing power, you can bet the most popular metal with Asian will rise as well. Unless bird flu wipes them all out as predicted.
