1.5 million barrels a day X $63 a barrel X 365 days in a year. Who does this fool think he's kidding? A dirt poor country is going to give up billions in oil revenue......ok..... Here's something to think about. Is there one nice guy in the entire world that has alot of oil? The nut cases are...

On the Fox News Channel last week, Jim mentioned that he's bullish on cotton. http://www.mrci.com/pdf/ct.pdf It had a huge rally in early '02 from 35 cents to almost 80 cents. This downleg looks like it could be a double bottom. I'll investigate the market further and see where things...

Well, here we are a year later. Wow, how things have changed. Atkins is bankrupt. Low Carb is dead. I wish I had shorted something low carb related. Errr...there will be more fads in the future. Here's my checklist for future plays based on fear/panic: -Long downward trend already in...

Boo Yah! LOL, this is the funniest show I've seen in a long time. I'd love to find the sound effects on the net somewhere. Cramer breaking the Boeing model plane apart and urging everyone to buy what's inside was priceless. Truely, a great TV moment. Does anyone else find themselves...

The solutions to this problem seem so obvious: -Free, real time credit monitoring (by email). -Much tougher regulations regarding data storage and data handling. -Retailers that always check for ID's when someone uses a credit card (it's suprising how many don't). -Controlling your...

It seems to me like the media is making this story much bigger than it really is. There were no SS numbers, birth dates, etc involved, and it even said in the story that you're not liable for unauthorized charges. It has nothing to do with "identity theft". The media is doing what it does...

You can keep up with Jim's take on the world at CharlesGoyette.com. Under the show archives, he's on every friday for 15 minutes to a half hour. He discussed the EU constitution vote several times (predicting the French would reject it and the dollar would rally). He also talked about oil...

There are numerous reasons why people fail: -Most people fail trying to lose weight, trying to start a business. Trading is no different than anything else. Most people don't have the discipline to lose weight (although everyone knows what the answer is, it's just diet and exercise). Trading...

Armageddon in this case is probably the US dollar crashing (hyper inflation, wheelbarrows of money needed to buy anything). Or perhaps some very strict exchange controls and/or government seizures, bank runs, etc. The kinds of things you read about in far off 3rd world countries. In a...

LOL, the article quoted "the weather was a factor"..... I love how the perma bulls are always able to come up with *something* to maintain their bullish case.

It seems to me that Rogers gets alot more flack than other well known investors (Buffett, Soros, Lynch, Templeton, the traders in the Market Wizards Series, etc). Some of it has to do with the private nature of his investments. But alot of it probably stems from his lifestyle. The maverick...

That New York Times article is destined to become infamous. I almost did a double take when I read about a "new economic model." It was only 5 years ago that people were still talking about the "New Economy"!! Still, the market could go higher: I haven't heard about any celebrities getting...

I also remember him talking about China long before the mainstream press caught on (The 21st Century will belong to China). As he so fond of saying..."I'm always early".

Wow, the thread is still going since '02. Rogers must be on top of the world now. His commodity call in 1998 will go down in the history books as the stuff of legends. 98% of Wall Street was going after the New Economy stocks, 1% stayed out (Buffet) and the other 1% (Rogers) made a fortune...

Why does the govt bother to report "core CPI". There isn't a single person in America that doesn't buy food and energy. Pull up a chart of unleaded gas and light sweet crude for sept. They didn't fall. They were up substantially. Wouldn't it be great if we could all use these type of...

In the past few months, you've just seen a case study in how markets really work. People always view markets by looking backward. Extrapolating past news into the future. OJ was down, low carb was big, no one could possibly see any good news on the horizon. And then.....oh.......well what...

The low carb craze is showing cracks in the armor. In another 6 or 9 months, it will just be seen as another fad diet (like low fat use to be). The beauty of the play wasn't necessarily the increased demand from ex low carber's. It's the guaranteed price floor due to florida politics. Stocks...

Rogers was way ahead of the curve on commodities. Starting a major fund in '98 was one of the greatest calls in his career. In many of his articles and interviews, he states: War is inflationary. His thesis is, we are in a constant state of war. Paper currency around the world is being...

Yep, cool movie. “Well it sounds to me like you guys are a couple of bookies.” "Buy low, sell high. Fear.....that's the other guys problem" Good advice :)

Nice 50 minute interview with Rogers on June 5th 2004: http://www.financialsense.com/Experts/2004/Rogers.html He lays out his bullish call on commodities quite nicely. He expects commodities in general to continue in their bull market for the next 10-18 years! In terms of OJ, Coffee and...
