From '99 to March of '09 Gold has yielded the greater return and the "Goldbugs" have every reason to be pleased with themselves. But look at a S&P chart priced in Gold since 03/09 the chart flatlines at about 0.85 (exception is the 08/11 US budget and credit downgrade). Include dividends and...

60% of US debt is due in the next 3-4 years. There's going to be nobody to buy that much debt at low interest rates. Hence, the Fed will have to monetize that debt and that means rampant inflation and forced austerity. Buy stocks, buy gold, buy real estate because they will all skyrocket in...

I can only hope that if I had a 48yo wife, who squeezed out five kids, she would look that good. I doubt 99.9% of women pushing 50 are as good looking. To hell with the politics, my d&#k doesn't vote.

I don't think the federal fiscal union is much of a union if you have tea party republicans on one side versus a bunch of socialist liberals on the other in the congress. Things are much to polarized to believe we have a "union" in the US.

The "fiscal cliff" is a great subject for a thread but I disagree with your premise that there is "no need to worry". I think that if a solution is two materialize it is going to come out of the US congress and it is much to polarized with no leadership to produce a compromise. There will be...

There's a lot of money out there. You have to ask yourself, where are those with the money going to put it? Treasuries? - There at record levels maybe a bubble Cash? -There's inflation. Gold? - There's deflation. Commodities? - Global slowdown is reducing demand. The supercycle is...

You say the volume is anemic, but can you confirm this? Looking at the sp500 futures the volume is pretty good, at least relative to the last couple months. Whether it's volume where sellers or buyers in control remains to be seen. Especially around the 200DMA and a significant retrace...

Hasn't the bond market provided all the QE for the FED? Interest rates are already at record lows. Maybe they can purchase some mortgage backed securities from banks but it's my understanding that banks are already flush with cash. The limit on my credit card keeps getting increased by my...

In the early nineties when Lottery programs were becoming adopted by many states, there were a few investment companies that adopted the strategy of buying huge blocks of lotto tickets in the states when and where the lottery was big enough. They were so profitable that most states adopted...

The article concludes that the dollar will strengthen as a result of higher interest rates and fall in treasuries coupled with economic growth. However, since the dramatic move on 3/14 the dollar has weakened and has recovered somewhat since the 10year bottomed on 3/21. Is higher yields...

Early Fridays trading (Asia session) had copper looking bullish after thursday risk rally. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/17/markets-metals-idUSL4E8DH07820120217 That view changed dramatically by mid day when demand from China appears to be slowing...

Copper at, what appears to be a key level. It seems to have benefited recently from fed induced "risk on" environment and some mining company mergers. However, it appears that inventories are high. I'd look for info out of china to see what demand is expected. If it wasn't for the fed, I'd...

Probably not. I mean what different does it make if your spending money on defense, healthcare, or infrastructure; your still spending. Let's say for instance you did cut the defense budget and put all that money into healthcare. Yeah your going to get a lot of new jobs for doctors, nurses...

Thanks, that's good information. At a minimum, I just need to download/upload enough data to close out trades or adjust stops and limits. It would be nice also to just connect to the hotspot and trade as normal for a few hours until the regular cable is up. I usually have about 40-50 charts...

Wow! Thanks TIKITRADER that's very helpful. I didn't know this stuff existed. The 5spot Mobile Hotspot for 3G will suit my needs fine. Anybody have any experience with this setup either with Verizon or another service? I mean is the data service reliable and continuous. The 5–12 Mbps...

I live in the mountains and the internet (Comcast Cable) goes out frequently during the winter months. I want to set up a backup internet using cell phone. Is there a phone and data plan that I can buy that will allow me to set up a WiFi network that I connect two laptops and trade. I know...

I always thought the IMF was set up to aid third world countries with basic needs and development assistance, Build a school, dig a well, get immunizations, help a farmer buy a new yak. Why is it being used to bail out a bunch of rich euro countries? If I'm correct, those selfish greedy...
