Well, if that is the cost of admission to society's upper echelons, isn't it worth it? In any case, the statistics are misleading - there is very little "Average" debt for graduate students. Either your folks paid for all of it or they didn't. So, your 'average' debt is either $0 or...

This reminds me of a dim memory from my childhood: http://www.80s.com/Icons/Bios/tawana_brawley.html

Humala wants to force foreign investors in Peru's mining companies to renegotiate their relationships with the government to redistribute wealth to Peru's impoverished majority. I believe he has been quite explicit, and spoken particularly about the mining companies. I do not have any...

You are probably correct, but think about things from a risk/reward perspective. Upcoming meeting between Bush and Hu Jintao on April 20th. Jintao probably views Bush as a out of favor leader, incapable of moving any significant legislation, and therefore of controlling his congress...

Take a look at this: www.pocketquotes.net Realtime equity feed to a Treo 700 or pocket PC for $18 month, with some interesting features and the ability to get the quotes on your home PC as well. Found it the other day while browsing the net. Have been considering it, and would be...

LOL... I was 6 Central bank sales & leasing have heavily depressed the metal's price in the past. And, I think, confiscation is a reality, particularly if someone like China goes to the gold standard and catches the rest of the world unawares, and the scramble to go back on would cause...

any of the chinese ADR's: Petrochina (PTR), etc... I like FXI, the chinese ETF, which is a mix of mainland china and hong kong shares. PGJ is another chinese ETF, but less of a pure currency play as per my understanding. I would prefer FXI (and do). You can always do one of the renmibi...

In this, we are in agreement. It is unlikely that there is an Iraq exit for the next 3-5 years. My complaint is the inability of the occupying forces to 'get it right', largely as a result of the flaw of the military to fight quick wars and little or no training as an occupancy force. Of...

I strongly supported Bush in his first term, and feel justified. I agree with Pabst that most of us have no idea how close we came to a global meltdown and depression ][. Tax cuts, interest rates down to zero, massive government spending, and perhaps even the iraq war were measures to...

'kay, now I'm a reporter. Let's try this... PCU broke out descending triangle on the upside on weekly charts on 3/30. I see strong support at $76 with short term support at $89. 14 day RSI indeterminate with StochRSI and T3 still bullish by my indicators. Recent news reports put the...

4% if you count from Thursday's high to Friday's close. Hardly a meltdown, but a sell off to be sure. Semantics here. Did you have an opinion?

Not there yet, but starting to think that way. Congratulations to ghargur et al. who were spot on on this fine move in the 30 year. Wish I had listened to you earlier, but not complaining at all currently... A $50 day in gold would be huge, and give me such a fine reason to rotate out.

Southern Peru Copper... Currently at highs, still relatively low P/E,trading up on Copper's strength. Very interesting situation in Peru regarding upcoming elections between: 1) Humala, a probable Chavez-style despot, 2) Garcia, a reformed Marxist, and 3) Flores, the conservative mainline...

I think the important question to ask is this: With rising interest rates and a widening trade deficit, as well as structural inflation being introduced into the system: Why isn't the market lower? Why hasn't the dow traded to 9000 again by now? With so much cash sitting on the...

I figured it out. Nice to be on the right side of the 30 year for a change. Now, the question is, how low can you go?

Smells to high heaven, doesn't it? Hope it drops for a while... dips= buying opportunity.

Thanks for that info. Have been watching CCJ for a while, but have a real problem buying a stock with a P/E of 87 or so (down to 70, yay). Ben Graham's ghost keeps whispering in my ear... some of the others may be more attractive imho, and then can switch into CCJ on a dip or revaluation.

Low quality bond rally with the 30 year up .40 in yield? I don't thinkso. I am starting to think that the fed has done the unbelievable - reversed the deflationary trend for an inflationary one. I think it is about to get very interesting, as it sure has been interesting for the last...

If you go to sell the gold or silver in bar form, you will need to have it assayed. Not a simple process. If the warehouse goes bk7, good luck getting your stuff back. Ditto for any holding companies. Ditto for derivative products (i.e. GLD). Would the government confiscate all...

Anyone have opinions on silver mining stocks at these levels? SIL, CDE? Seem rich but in these markets, who knows.
