I sure hope you are right. As soon as we get that correction, I am going to buy all the gold and silver I can afford. We are expecting someone to buy trillions of dollars of our treasuries that we will never be able to repay. Eventually, the idiots buying them will wise up and stop doing so...

I subscribe to several newsletters from MoneyandMarkets.com, run by Martin Weiss. They have been very bearish and their recommendations have returned a nice return since the stock market decline that started a year and a half ago. However, with the astronomical debt our wise government...

I was going to dump my TBT (UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury ProShares) position tomorrow morning since it has tanked the last 2 days. Maybe I will watch it a while longer to see if China's statements cause people to sell their bonds.

I saw numerous explanations on the financial channels given for why the market went up even though the jobs report was so bad: 1. The jobs report is telling us about the past and the market is reacting to the future, which is brighter. 2. Congress is about to pass Obama's stimulus bill, so...

How about CPO? It seems that they would have a regular and inverse ETF for each of the major commodities so people could trade them without the risk of entering the highly leveraged commodity market. Corn is near an historic low and is beginning it's seasonal move up. The commercials are...

I have a friend who owns 3 vacation townhouses in an Arizona resort area. Until last year, a company managed them and he just collected his share of the rents every month. I remember him telling me a couple of years ago what a great investment it was and how I should get in on it. Now, the...

The current trend for oil is certainly down. However, it is hard to ignore the seasonal tendency for the price of oil to rise in the spring, starting near the end of February. Seasonal tendencies alone are no reason to enter a trade. But if there is any indication of a trend change at that time...

I have seen some financial advisors in the last few months actually recommending selling your home if you can get a decent price and renting. They predict that home prices may be going much lower and that you can get into a nicer home at a lower price in the future. It is a great time to buy...

I am looking for an ETF that will allow me to go long the US dollar and short the British pound, but I am having trouble finding one. Is anyone aware of such an ETF? Thanks.

"Took a postion in TBT will watch the action. I do know the oil longs are in pain but.... I just cant see it. " Bonds have hit an historical high. With another trillion dollar bailout package being proposed by Obama to be financed with more bonds, I don't see anywhere for bonds to go but...

Is there anyone out there who has an opinion based upon actually attending one of Larry William's live seminars and trading his methods? Thanks.

I noticed that Larry Williams is promoting a new Short Term Trading Seminar. I have read several of his books, but was wondering if anyone has taken a live seminar from him. If so, I would appreciate your opinion as to whether the live presentations truly revealed complete, profitable trading...

I have no programming experience and had a similar desire to learn how to code and test my ideas. I tried Genesis Trade Navigator, then TradeStation Easy Language. EL was definitely better and I put a lot of time into the EL home study boot camp course. The more I studied, the more I realized...

What are links to some of the best trading threads on ET? Threads that really give practical, profitable trading approaches.

After the worst jobs report in decades, the market paradoxically surged. Was this a case of sell the rumor, buy the fact, to be followed by a stock market tumble next week, or a further sign of a market bottom?

Has anyone read his most recent book? http://www.amazon.com/Still-Market-Nicolas-Darvas-author/dp/0982055676/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1228264989&sr=8-2

I subscribe to a newsletter with a good track record that recommends buy and sell signals based upon COT data and technical analysis. A buy was just given for cocoa. I have been reluctant to trade the softs futures market, but am considering going long NIB (a cocoa ETF). I am new to ETFs and was...
