10 Contrarian Reasons for a Bottom

Mr. Hui - You're the one who called 'Oil at $50 before $150' during the summer. Unlike some of the other articles around here with no sort of track record (Tacitus - cough, cough), I'll take yours with a lot less skepticism. Thanks!

The Manipulation of Gold Prices

Question - so if Gold goes to $2k in the short term, and $7.5k to $9k in the longer term (and as you say, returning to a gold standard prevents hyperinflation), what is your forecast towards other commodities including Oil, etc? The reason I ask is that if the other commodities also go up by a factor of 5-10x their current prices, how is that not hyper-inflation?

Are you saying that somehow, magically, if gold goes up 10x due to a gold standard, that it will decouple from the other commodities, and they will remain low?

The Future of Gaming: Why EA and Take Two Have It Wrong

Well... Yoville doesn't charge a subscription fee. Are they planning on making all of their profit from advertising? It's not exactly a great game either. Plenty of other small game development companies putting out better products, too.

Fernandez: Top 5 Picks for November

Hi Chris, just wanted to thank you on your recommendations on AIR. It's been doing quite well for me (although admittedly, I'm down to 1/3 of my previous position).

35% of respondents to a NABE survey released today say demand in their industry is falling, with 30% saying demand is higher. Every time since 1982 that weak demand has overtaken strong, the economy has later proved to be in a recession.

Nah, the "fundamentals of the economy are strong"! You betcha!

(*cough, cough*)

Safe Haven Investments: Imminent Danger and Opportunities

I own some SLV, but it seems that in the short term, deflation still rules the day. I've read more than one article preaching short term deflation followed by hyper inflation as the gov't + Fed try to stop the stagflation. Mark mentions the hyper inflation part, but I don't see anyone talking about the short term deflation that we've been experiencing.

5 Reasons to Ignore Buffett

My immediate thought regarding this article is that there are probably lots of lawyers and doctors who make more than $100k/year. Probably mostly depends on what part of the country.

There's a reason why Buffett does so well. He doesn't move with the herd. The herd follows him.

Thursday Outlook: Wipeout?

'Just when I thought I was out, you pulled me back in.'

Enjoyed the article as usual. Thanks.

Wall Street Breakfast - Sample Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News by SA Editor Rachael Granby Bank trio becomes duo. Wells Fargo (WFC) will become the largest U.S. bank by branches with its bid for Wachovia (WB), after Citigroup (C) withdrew from compromise negotiations late yesterday on concerns about the quality of some of Wachovia's assets. Wells Fargo, with a bid valued at $11.4B, expects the purchase to be completed by the end of the year, and denies it will have to absorb assets shakier than originally thought. Government considers next steps. As the financial crisis continues to worsen, the U.S. government is considering two dramatic steps to turn around, or at least slow, the damage: guaranteeing billions of dollars in bank debt and temporarily insuring all U.S. bank deposits. The moves, which would mark the government's most extensive intervention to date, are in discussion stages only. Credit stays frozen. As frozen credit markets refuse to thaw, the cost of default protection on corporate bonds reaches new global records amid investor concerns the credit crisis will trigger corporate failures as companies struggle to finance their businesses. Interbank lending remains limited, and borrowing from the Fed's expanded discount window continued its trend of setting new highs every week, as the total daily average rose to $420.2B vs. $367.8B last week.

Better Choices - Cramer's Lightning Round (10/15/08)

by SA Editor Rachael Granby

Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramers Mad Money TV program,
Wednesday, October 15.

Bullish Calls:

Continental Resources (CLR) -- "This is a remarkable decline. All of the high quality ones are down so much, I can't go against it. This is where you pull the trigger.
3M (MMM) -- The moment this stock starts yielding 5%, I'm a buyer. Until then, keep your powder dry.

Bearish Calls:

Computer Sciences (CSC) -- This is a company that was going to be bought, but they passed up the chance. Now I don't want to buy it."
Annaly Mortgage (NLY) -- I think this is a business model that needs to borrow money. Definitively do not buy."
Northrop Grumman (NOC) -- You can't own the defense stocks right now. If I had to own one, I'd look at Lockheed Martin (LMT) with its good dividend.
