Gold and the Dollar: Putting the Relative Cart Before the Relative Horse
The question is not what one bought/sold it is question of stupidity,I suspect you belong to that category,the question is when you sold.
I could sell Boots and Coots Inc.(symbol WEL) that I bought for 6 cents I think in 1999 for 10$ 2 years later but I sold for 12 cents.
If you are long Gold at 415$ and didn't sell it at 900-1000$ then you are loser and big balls guys know about it,they will make you sell at a loss and then buy for themselves when pikers like you be bearish.
You wrote death penalty in this article for yourself,as you prove that you are a loser,now waiting for gold to go back to 1000$ as your greed tells you it is right place to sell but at 1000$ people like you become bulls again that's why your chances to bail out are slim.

good to see serious commentary not some bluff from SA writers who still live with their mom at 45.

Do Stock Screeners Work? Three Inexpensive, Reliable Energy Plays
I find your comments are suitable for any investor who buys big cap stocks (DOW,SP,NASDAQ)and your pics are not different from picking a Wal Mart,Boeing or Intel.
What you advise is a stocks in energy sector that belong to an index SP500,CAC40,FTSE100 and indexing is no easy.When markets decline especially sitting in a dangerous bear hunting zone,all the best energy stocks may go down as well even if Oil/Gas can stay constant or rising.For your picks (how one can recommend such big frms everybody is familiar with) to go up Oil/Gas must rise very sharply and even if Oil/Gas will reach it's previous highs there is no guarantee your stocks will,after Gold/Silver reached new highs and went down with lower come back,Gold/Silver big caps (I don't even mention mid-small caps hat are down 60% on average) never reached it's previous highs and look where they are today.Just take a chart of your picks and compare it to Newmont Mining,Barrick Gold,Angloamerican or any other big mining stock you chose.You will see how far away it is from it's previous highs.
The reason for it is that investors/insiders who have much to do with the companies they invest are selling some or most of their holdings.
Already if you are experienced trader,why not to try your calls on stocks with buying futures on Crude Oil/Nat Gas,if one is a bull,futures offer better,purest and most liquid way of investing.Using normal margins if Oil/Gas will recover the profits will be derived from commodity itself,as any public company has too many insiders to feed,debt in the bank to pay interest on and other risks.
Have a good day French honcho.
Chinese Hegemonic Effect Overtakes U.S.? Not So Fast
Monday, August 18: Week in Review
The happiest thing in your article that you will never believe may turn true next year,that Dow Jones really will fall to 6200 or lower,why not.
Does it have to do with China,with your mom selling her bleeding mutual fund to pay your tuition or Play Station,does it have to do with anything?
The reason that markets crash lies in one simple psychological aspect,nobody believes in it as 99.99% of investors want market always to go straight up and every investor will say that his stock is the best in the world but there are tens of thousands of stocks and millions of investors,how can be that each stock is the best in the world?
There are so many sectors and every investor in any sector believes this is the best stock in the best sector...
The final countdown is aproaching,those that didn't take money out of the table (how one can sell the best stock in the world, average is already down 30%) doesn't matter if reason is greed or stupidiness,are going to witness BEAR market in it's natural pure form,as bear knows no fear,he spreads blood and destruction whenever he goes whatever he touches.
So play your Playstations in a meantime bear will play with you his game.
This Gold Correction Has Further To Run
Darrell Brookstein on Gold: Just a Pullback in a Bull Market
Sentiment Review: Bullishness Rising
Sentiment Review: Bullishness Rising
Regarding money is flowing from money market into stocks,I disagree too,as money that is invested in fixed income usually stays conservative,investors that go for low interest are smart investors,they know market is broken they will wait at some extreme valuations before buying beaten bleeding stocks,as I expect Dow Jones to reach first bottom at 7000-7500 next year for sure,probably some short term money will be reinvested from bonds to stocks but only short term,as we enter biggest crash in american history (thank God Federal Reserve is buying index futures,selling short commodities to stop panic) that will get us to 2500-3750 on the Dow Jones.But even then nobody will make any money buying big caps as indexes will stay flat for 115 years with very small yearly change.After we will have gray hairs our children and grand children will ride next big bull wave,but we will never see a bull again.
Recapping My Great Calls on Oil
Maybe your opinion can show me something I have been missing (20% up from last 2 weeks buying/selling Crude,Gas).Just throw here some numbers,don't be afraid.I really like you.

The Economic Week Ahead: Inflation, Growth, Confidence and Retail Numbers

Jackpot! Why 5-Year Lock-Ups Are a Great Idea
QVT Financial LP is liquidating with biggest losses coming from going short commodities last year and going long last 2 months.Add here leverage as a spice and you can imagine what leverage average hedge fund uses.NEVER INVEST IN HEDGE FUNDS.
Market Internals
Do you have any idea that market don't care about any averages when it is poised for a crash,do you know that 99% of american investor's account is bleeding,do you know that while you was at Wal Mart buying 50$ suite and cheap after shave your country United States of America just went bankrupt.
Oil: Demand Destruction Overdone?
Are you short/long energies or you are one of those smart contribiutors who know it all but themselves lost money long time ago on things they are experts on.
I am at the moment short calls 130$ and puts 100$ for October Crude Oil,long Natural Gas October at 8.20$.
This is where my money is,if each of us would say more about our real life trading SA would be more serious space for traders as I see many writers here with nice flash websites who know shit about real trading ( it is not about the author).
Let's trade folks and open our cards,as it is easy to be cool on the internet.
I am up 20% since August day trading futures/options like CL,NG,ZB,YM,GEC,PL,GC (Crude Oil.Nat Gas,T-Bonds,mini-Dow,E...
