Not at all surprising. It's called style drift. Investors paid him to be a long-biased equity value investor and all of a sudden he goes dabbling in credit instruments. That's not what they were expecting but he had them by the balls thanks to the lock-up. Wouldn't you act surprised if you...

So was the binary decision of either going long gold vs. investing in hedge funds an "edge" at that point in history? Probably you don't think it was, but that's what the discussion was about. Mystical... belief... outperformance If you were trying to make a point then possibly we could...

We have had this specific discussion before (bubble, asymmetric option approaches, Paulson, market timing, edge). We've had all this. It's just quite obvious to me you have no intention of understanding the points I made. If you believe that "normal" markets don't correct 50% very often then...

It's going to fall 33% "quickly"? Probably a typo :cool:

Newsflash: Jim Roger retracts his retraction of his "STERLING WILL COLLAPSE" statement and does another 180. Rogers now noted "Of course I said its going to collapse within weeks! I've been short Sterling from 1.60. Ever child knows it's obviously going to zero":

See all that lawn? Let the middle class plant cabbage, tomatoes and carrots instead of lawn. _THEN_ I will take their whining about how tough times are seriously.

People who expected endless riches with little downside risk from buying and holding commodities because some clowns were pumping them on bubble vision were just as dumb as their peers who expected the same from equities.

That's what SAVINGS are designed for. Parents and grandparents should have taught today's 20-60 year olds that they must always keep a minimum of XY months living expenses + a contingency in cash equivalents (i.e. not in stocks, leveraged real estate etc.) before thinking of spending it or...

Manufacturing JOBS have been lost, not manufacturing OUTPUT (even so as a share of global GDP). Contrary to popular opinion, the US is still a global manufacturing powerhouse, thanks to productivity increases (read: firing the lemmings on the low-end spectrum of the value chain, outsourcing to...

You realize there's a profound difference between "they don't produce anything" and "they don't export anything"? Not the same, get it?

Original: Jim Rogers says he is looking forward to speaking in London on the March 19, 2010, and sharing his views on currencies, commodities and the global markets: "I have always had a great time speaking at Vinces's events. " Translation: "Jim Rogers says he thinks Vince is a complete...

Barely producing anything? The US is the #1 manufacturing nation on the planet, representing ~24% of global manufacturing output. More than twice as much as China and 10% ahead of Japan. Get your facts straight. If you are so certain the USD is doomed with your ridiculous line of...
