      Watch Peter Schiff: It Pays to Be Contrarian
      Thanks for giving some more exposure to this extraordinary video.
      This should be compulsory viewing for investors.
      I hope Ben Stein and the rest , steering poeple into disastrous investments see it frequently.
      In retrospect, , Peter should have put his clients in cash, not gold, commodities, foreign dividend payers, so that could now re-enter and clean up, but then he is selling stocks after all.
      I wish i had listened to him and others such as Weiss, Rogers and Roubini and then cashed out 9 months ago

      Is Hyperinflation on the Horizon?
      There seems to be a problem in predicting future events. This is the underlying problem.
      Computers , models and algorithms have not helped at all.
      All ( almost all) experts have been proved full of sh1t. Make the effort to see the video of the year featured on seeking alpha , from you-tube;-

      The funniest thing is, these buffoons get paid big money to advise everyone and lose their savings for them.

      As Schiff turned out to be right, and all the cnbc heads turned out to be total buffoons, I am tending to go with Schiffs hyper inflation scenario rearing its little head in late 2009. A view endorsed by a UBS adviser but only when the vino installs a little veritas in him. He wishes to remain anonymous.

      My plan is, having lost 60% on my stocks in the last 9 months, I will switch to the calmer bond arena, there to lose another 60% when everyone sees the hyper inflation coming.
      If there is any cash left after all that, inflation should have rendered it worthless and all my problems will be gone.
      Farming is a bit tough for the seniors. I will probably become a financial advisor.

      Don't Let Bulk Shippers Sink Your Portfolio... For Now
      FRO is not a bulker. It is the largest single tanker operator.
      Rates have not collapsed in this area.

      Digging into Shipping
      Although tanker rates have been relatively stable compared to bdi, crude and product tankers have been decimated anyway. This may be an exploitable anomoly.
      I am trying to shuffle from dry to tankers for similar dividends and earlier recovery.
      I am often wrong.

      I don't agree, although I am retired. When voting you must take into consideration the plight of the majority, who don't enjoy dividends and interest as a form of unearned income. Your taxes are doing good for others. Is this un-american?

      Get Ready to Buy Like It's 2002
      In answer to some of the haters of anything foriegn, another point I'd like to make is that the rest of the world has been financing the usa along with all its wars and binges ever since the dollar became the reserve and cast adrift from gold. The us debt to the world can now probably never be repaid. Lets hope they do something decent with all this money .

      In answer to various comments on the safety of investments in Russia, China etc. it's not ONLY in these countries that you can get scewed. How about the USA?
      Suddenly they dilute and inflate your currency to nat's piss
      Your bonds, preferreds, some of your cash, your bank and your broker dissapear.
      Your house is worth half what you payed. Hey , is this the third world?

      China Wants the U.S. Dollar to Drop Dead
      The World has been financing the us i its military and financial recklesness for several decades.
      This comes as an extraordinary and extravagant benefit of being the reserve currency with no real backing.
      However as the ugly side of american power becomes more obvious, there will be resistance to backing it in this way.
      The way out will be slow and tricky to avoid a violent us backlash comparable to the Nixon break from the gold standard in response to french and british demands for payment on us debt.

      Housing Bubble: Two-Thirds of the Way Back to 2000
      Credit and tax changes brought about a property crash in uk in or around 1990. I bought a spec house at the peak unable to watch the soaring prices any longer.
      The price returned to my purchase price in 10 years , so watch out.
      A house has to cost 3 to 4 times the aspiring owners income.
      When it gets a lot higher, even W should be able to see the crash coming.


      I've managed this several times including the tech bubble of 2000.
      I had professional help to screw that one up.
      I say ' if you've missed the boat then jump into the water and sink'.

      Price Dividend Ratio: Lessons From History
      I agree with Bofa. Basing a strategy solely on anticipation of capital gains works only if your time frames happen to span the right epoch.
      A worker becoming a senior doesn't have that luxury.
      And we have to trust that when the board retains our money instead of giving it to the owners, they do something useful and conservative, which adds to value.
      And we have to trust that circumstances beyond the board's control don't overwhelm anything useful they may have attempted.
      I prefer to take the dividend and decide what to do with it.

      Economic Indicators Signal a Major Collapse Ahead
      Ithinkbig has the situation exactly right. Unfortunately this is not a country in which such a message can be heard.
      No party has ever made a serious attempt to direct its policies toward the welfare of the majority working people, although the rhetoric differs a lot.
      It would be impossible to confront the purveyors of financial power and gain any influence or office.
