Bullish Gold indicators: COT commercial index=long seasonal tendency=up daily trend=sideways to up weekly trend=up bullish divergence on weekly MACD and OBV US economy=tanking As soon as I start seeing the television commercials telling people that it is a good time to buy gold, I...

We did address it with our government before they gave the money to AIG. There was a huge public outcry and protests against the $700 million bail-out. Congress pretended to listen by not passing it the first time. Then, when the market tanked, congress added quite a bit more pork to the bill to...

"How have you guys spoken to and given a little warning to family & friends about the economy?" I am telling my family and friends not to buy gift cards because the stores they buy them from might go bankrupt after the holidays.

I do not understand why everyone seems to think that gold is headed down. It has been trending up for the last 2 weeks. The dollar index has been trading sideways for the last month and at the rate our government is printing money, the only direction for the US dollar in the long-term is down...

I really wanted to buy a retail sector inverse ETF today, but did not see any weakness in the market to encourage me to do so. I would not be surprised to see some sort of bad economic news this weekend, like poor retail sales on black Friday. If so, we could get a gap down by Monday morning and...

"investors should continue to remain highly defensive and give thanks for any market strength to sell into" This seems to be the conclusion of the article you mentioned. The last few days of positive market movement could simply be a pullback. I plan to remain defensive in gold. Even if the...

Why is the government using taxpayer money to bail out the financial institutions? We live in a capitalistic society that allows companies that make wise business decisions to prosper and those that make bad decisions to fail. Why not just let the companies that made bad loans go under? Sure, it...

But then again, I usually buy at the top and sell at the bottom, so don't take my advice.:)

Citibank is going down, as are the big 3 automakers and Moody's states a record number of companies are on the verge of bankruptcy. This is going to be the worst Christmas for retailers in many years and a lot of companies will stay in the red well after black Friday. Our bankrupt government is...

Thanks for those suggestions. After I posted the question, I read that some of the ETFs have liquidity problems due to low volume which could hinder getting out at a decent price. I also read that the ETF company has to buy the stock in advance in order to allow people to short a market. If the...

Conventional wisdom states that most retailers don't start to turn a profit for the year until the day after Thanksgiving (black Friday). If that is true, with so many people trying to cut expenses and with so many businesses on the verge of bankruptcy, this could be a catastrophic holiday...

I just discovered Collective2.com through this website. I was curious if anyone has ever selected one of the profitable systems and automated it in their brokerage account? If so, what was your experience?

American Express is transforming itself into a bank holding company so it can get a piece of the bailout pie: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/11/business/11amex.html?em The question is, after our bankrupt country, which is over $10 trillion in debt, finishes bailing out all of the financial...

It is hard to figure out from watching the trade of the day. But he gives a free webinar at least once a week. You can go to their website for times. I also get ads from Online Trader Central for his one hour free webinar where he does a better job explaining his divergence and trend following...

Actually, I successfully took the trades he called out in sim mode the last 2 times I watched the free online webinar. However, there was one trade I took that was a loser that he claimed not to get filled on. Both myself and one other attendee called him on it and he kept claiming he did not...

That is the first good suggestion. Do you know the names of any such funds?

Good posts so far. But I am still waiting for someone to suggest a safe place to put money. Maybe a Swiss bank account?

I am curious where people think is the safest place to keep their money. Our country is over $10 trillion dollars in debt, so T-bills and FDIC accounts don't seem too safe. I have considered putting funds in various currencies like the Japanese Yen or the Swiss Frank through Everbank.com...

I have 3 refurbished Dell 24 inch Ultra Sharp monitors that I got through the Dell outlet online. I have the capacity to run 4, but no room on my desk unless I get a stand.
