      This Recession Should End in June
      Wow, I think I can make it until June 2009 and I'm really relieved that everything will be great after that magic date. Now I will be able to go out and buy all of the toys and goodies that I was afraid I'd never see again.
      Thanks.

      WSJ: A Frightening Indictment of Our Society
      Lets see, our economy can be run by greedy and corrupt CEOs and hedge fund managers - or - it can be run by stupid and corrupt politicians and bureaucrats - or - by a combination of the two. Don't worry about how the country is run - that's hopeless. Instead, worry about how your own personal economy is run - it's your only hope!

      Paulson's Shocking Change of Heart
      Paulson needs to go back to Goldman so he can finish destroying them instead of destroying the whole U.S.A. He's only got a couple more months to change his mind a few more times. What's next - He just doesn't have a clue!

      Don't Let Bulk Shippers Sink Your Portfolio... For Now
      skipper: You are absolutely correct that there are many other areas of investing besides shipowning companies. Shippers should only be part of a portfolio. Along with junior mining companies, they are probably the most speculative and potentially profitable positions but I wouldn't want to bet my whole future on them.

      Don't Let Bulk Shippers Sink Your Portfolio... For Now
      True if the world economy and the markets totally crash (say Dow under 3,000 and S&P under 300) everybody in ANY kind of equity will lose his ass, and there will be NO jobs anywhere. But then, what will be the right place to be? Probably in a bunker with guns, ammo, a years food and water, and cyanide pills when everything else runs out. Investing with that possibility in mind is not investing - it's conceding defeat before you've even played the game. I'd rather keep playing.

      Don't Let Bulk Shippers Sink Your Portfolio... For Now
      The posters who are selling covered calls on these highly volatile stocks have it figured out. This is an option traders dream. In addition to the fat dividends, you can realize another 5 to 10 percent return every three months writing call ortions. With a total retiurn of 30% or better the stock price becomes a secondary factor. Long FRO & OSG.

      Nordic American Tanker Pays Off Yet Again
      Bryanz: I do not own tanker companies like FRO and NAT for capital gains but rather for the income they generate. You can boost this income in a bear market like this by selling covered calls on the way down. Because of the high volatility of these companies, their option premiums are quite high. I have achieved 44% income returns in the past year on FRO combining dividends with covered call option premiums. With that kind of income stream, I don't worry much about current share prices, only about continuing dividends and volatility. Long FRO and OSG.

      Does Obama Have What it Takes to Turn the Economy Around?
      As brmwia states, credit cards are a plus IF you have the discipline to ALWAYS pay in full every month and not subject yourself to the usurious interest rates that keep credit card companies in business. Not only are they handier than carrying around a bunch of cash, but they provide a good record of your expenditures. There is a potential problem of possible identity theft tho.

      The Reagan Counterrevolution
      The sad truth is that in an unregulated free market economy there will be greedy capitalists who, for financial gain, will take unfair advantage of the rest of the population. However, in an highly regulated central government dominated economy there will be over-reaching politicians and bureaucrats who, for the sake of power, will take unfair advantage of the rest of the population. There will always be an "elite" minority prospering at the expense of the majority. So it has always been and so it will always be. Human nature is not even close to perfect.

      Silver Wheaton: A Promising Silver Play
      Silver & Gold miners should be part of everyones portfolio but not a large part. They will only pay off when inflation returns, which is inevitable but could be quite awhile yet. It takes patience but the reward will be huge.
      I'm long CDE, GFI, SLW, & EGI but together they only comprise about 2% of my portfolio.

      The Perversion of American Capitalism
      famos: I believe that 30 trillion divided by 300 million is 100 thousand, not 100 billion. Not that a 30 trillion debt will EVER be repaid except with hyper inflated dollars.
