  • Gold: Recycling Threatens Demand-Supply Equation
    Nowhereman-- I think you're confusing gold with gold-themed paper instruments. The great thing about ACTUAL gold is that there is no counter-party risk... a further reduction in the trust in financial institutions can only benefit the value of such an investment.

  • Gold Prices: Little Correlation with Its Utility
    Better yet, what is the utility of Apple stock? Why would anyone pay anything for a stock which serves, literally, no purpose? Gold and non-dividend paying stocks are nothing more than a bet that people will at some point be willing to pay more for it than what you paid for it. At least gold doesn't depend on the honesty of clearly dishonest people to maintain its value.

  • Oil Breaks Below $38; Bespoke's Commodity Snapshot (12/18/08)
    Why is it always that when commodities become overbought, it's because of manipulation, and when they become oversold, it's market forces. Yet, when bank stocks become overbought, it's because of market forces, and manipulation when they become oversold?

  • Why Gold Will Decline More than the Markets
    Wow, anyone who managed to lose "64.9% to 70%" investing in gold and silver any time in recent memory is extremely talented. I would like to see exactly how they did that.

  • Why Inflation Is Good
    In other words, having savings wiped out in order to relieve the burden on those who spent beyond their means is just and natural. I would suspect that the vast majority of humanity disagrees with this position.

  • Tuesday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets, More
    Yeah... where's the whole first page??

    I, for one, am glad the republicans threw their little tantrum. If hurting their little feelings is what it takes for them to recover their courage, maybe we need more of it.

  • Eight ETFs to Preserve Your Wealth
    Funny, I own everything you mention, except instead of GLD and SLV, I prefer CEF.

  • Wednesday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets
    Kenny, of course it's far fetched. But I think it's hard to deny the parallels between the way the administration is handling this, and, say, the attack on Iraq. At the very least the $700 billion price tag is just the very beginning.

    I do think, however, that putting a ton of new power and cash in the hands of the people who, literally within hours of publicly saying "Everything is just fine!" were saying "The end is nigh!" would be an unforgivably stupid mistake. Clearly, anything Paulson says from here on must be taken with a grain of salt.

  • Wednesday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets
    This whole thing has Bush Administration con job written all over it-- the sense of panic, the secrecy, the political pressure... all with most sensible people wondering, "what am I missing?" What are the chances this is nothing more than W waving his middle finger at the public, picking up a few extra trillion dollars for his cronies on the way out the door?

  • A Black Hole Nearly Swallows Wall Street
    This is more like Mussolini's dream than Lenin's.

  • A Paulson Fan's View of the U.S. Mortgage Company
    "This morning's spike open was surely influenced by options expiration, as those caught short the market scrambled minimize their losses."

    Anybody who was on the short side and managed to lose money this week deserves to lose everything.

    Dave, you seem to have raised the ire of the Ministry of Truth.

  • Tuesday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets
    Gabe:
    Who says the government is wrong when it doesn't pick winners and losers in our free market? Which of the so called rumors was false? Who says the shareholders are the victims, when it was they who made the decision to buy into the company? You're suggestion that the little guy is the beneficiary here is also laughable... society in general certainly doesn't benefit from a bunch of unqualified home buyers bidding up prices with phony money, and then end up losing pretty much everything. I think you need to turn off CNBC and tune into reality.

  • Royalty Trusts: Maintaining Income in a Volatile Market
    I think fitz is suggesting that "borrow and spend" is worse than "tax and spend", as there are no interest payments involved in a tax and spend approach.
