Fewer and fewer people save money, so that means no down payments, and fewer homeowners. If buying is a form of forced saving, renting is a form of voluntary consumption. Pretty soon the boomers who were relying on their house as a retirement fund are going to try to sell their homes to the...

As a buyer in the market for a new car, thinking I could probably get a good deal on a VW diesel. CNBC reports that dealers are stuck with a big inventory. Will there be a premium for the used, pre-recall VW's that presumably get better performance?

STXS and EFOI don't look good, no momentum. CAPN looks good. ITEK and NYMX look OK but might wait for them to break out first.

if SImons and Rentech are so genius, how come they had to boost their returns by evading the leverage limits every other hedge fund follows? that was in the senate report too. don't believe the hype on SImons. if rentech had a special sauce, it wouldn't have needed 10-12 leverage when the legal...

Read the Senate report on Simons criminal activity. He ran an unregulated broker dealer and defrauded the IRS of taxes by mischaracterizing its status. The fact the Democrats in the Senate published the report despite Simons being a big Democrat fundraiser tells you all you need to know.

stocks trade down on high volume, right? Not sure I understand the question.

He didn't inherit $200M. His father had 5 children and some apartments, but obviously Donald would not have been the sole beneficiary, even if he did run the family real estate business. What Donald would do was buy an option on expensive but troubled property, do some deal making, and then sell...

Trump had $1B in 1987? I don't think so.

I love how Jeb both attacks the poster for asking the question . . . and then answers the question.

have you been short or long?

Interesting, I've been looking for something like this. Definitely going to check this out. Thanks for pointing it out.

I closed out my positions this morning . . . I hate shorting and options so better to leave the casino before I get drunk and give it all back. Now watch it go down to $90. Jamba Juice looks good here.

during this decline, you could have made money buying GLD at the open and selling at the close. how often does that happen? usually the dip buyers get crushed during a decline

I keep hearing people say that the magic number is $1050, which seems strange . . . support is probably a little lower than $1000. A genuine bounce happens at $950, that's my guess.

I'm back to beat this to death again. the utter complacency in gold just means that when the panic starts, it will be legendary. it will be one for the ages. it will be like somebody exploded a dumpster filled with used syringes in a disco filled with retarded clowns. it's coming, and it will be...

The gold bulls tell me that gold has nothing to do with copper, steel, or emerging markets. It's a currency, you see. But the fact is the Chinese, Saudis and lots of other commodity producers recycle oil and export surpluses into gold . . . that's why gold followed oil in the 2000s. But now...

don't worry it should warm up by Friday . . .

Having already beaten this topic to death a few times already , I'm still struck by the complacency and the pervasive bottom calling on gold. If this were a stock, hard to believe the bottom callers would be so ready to call an end to the decline. Gold has two modes - wildly overvalued and...

GLD has had white candles for 11/23 sessions in this decline. The open has gapped down 15/23 times. That means that dip buyers are stepping in and holding it up during the US sessions while overseas sellers are taking it down overnight. This won't collapse until the US dip buyers stop lighting...
