Agreed, and when you have inflation, you have a large increase across virtually all commodities, so it doesn't take special timing necessarily like it does to catch 1-2 markets.

As bonecrusher stated earlier, it will be interesting to see if commodity trend following takes off again if there is high inflation or rising rates like we had in the 70's.

There really is only so far that Apple can go with phones and ipads

Hawking a used book tells me all I need to know on the efficacy of the content.

Agree with this. High inflation offers great opportunity to traders whereas disinflation is great for buy and hold stocks

Use 1.9 leverage on HYD, which is a high yield muni etf. It tracks MUB reasonably closely but is far more volatile because it holds high yield muni bonds.

I would check with the broker to start with, but this is definitely worth a 15 min call to a CPA or tax attorney. It's not worth the risk of finding out 20-30 years from now that you have a big tax liability on your hands because you did something wrong. I would love to hear the answer when...

Who knows, it could have been a low level staffer or the guy in charge of managing her twitter account. Regardless, the Clintons are corrupt from top to bottom, but most people don't care even though they claim to.

So we are going to limit free speech and disallow the media to report freely? Sounds like a bad deal. Not that anyone will listen to it, but it's an absurd recommendation.

SEC is trying to pass regulations to limit 3x ETF's too. My guess is it won't be long before futures are targeted as well.

No doubt, the product they're putting out is crap.

Seriously, no one cares. I think the only way you can force change is to wait until we're in a full blown crisis.

Wow. That's hilarious. I just watched their promo video and it took me a while to figure out if it was a spoof or real. Sadly, it's real.

I would not be surprised. Many of the same characters start multiple REITs. Like any thing else, if you can keep the best opportunities for yourself, and use OPM to fund average deals, while paying yourself a huge salary and expenses, why wouldn't you? That's human nature I guess.

Says who? Shiller price index is still 9% below it's 2006 highs, and the home ownership rate is now sitting at a 50 year lows. Inflation and wage growth appear to be ticking up. It might be bubbly in certain areas (Seattle, SF, etc) but overall, I think REIT's have room to go higher long term.

"Feel" or "intuition" is probably just another way to describe someone who is able to very cerebrally interpret quantitative data such as price or price bars.

The problem with a debt jubilee is that for every liability, there is a corresponding asset offsetting that. I'm not sure rewarding debtors is necessarily a good thing, even though our current financial repression taking place is more or less a slow-drip attempt of just that (rewarding debtors).

There have been academic studies that point to optimal leverage for buy & hold (equities) is closer to 1.7x-2x. Over that and you start to see increasingly diminished returns as leverage ramps up.

If 76% pa is peanuts then why are you demo trading?

20% gold/silver/diamonds/rare art 20% stocks 20% real estate 30% treasuries 10% cash Rebalance every couple of years and spend it down. Why even trade?
