I'm using Windows 7 64 bits, 8 gb ram, quad core. TWS/Java/TWS API/Excel/Tradingblox/eSignal. Everything working fine, no complaints.

It is interesting how we all think we're so very contrarian to the rest of the world. The deflation fans and the hypterinflationists, the bulls and the bears, the gold bugs and the Dollar bulls. They all think they're part of a tiny minority and the rest of the investment world must be in for a...

He's down around 7% YTD (EUR fund).

Good ole' Hugh appears to speak in more convoluted language the more the markets disagree with his thesis. I had trouble understanding what the hell he was trying to say, but it doesn't seem he changed his tune too much.

Faber has a record is a little better than 50% accoding to CXO, a tad better than rolling dice. Much better than most of Wall St. still, which are much much worse. He made many excellent calls, specifically his focus on dollar weakness and a secular precious metal/commodity bull market. But...

Can't happen cause he says it won't?

Spot on analysis.

So simply because a trend is going in a certain direction we can proclaim with certainty that "asset class X will never trade above/below $YYY Dollars ever again"??? I had no idea trading was this simple!

Rosenberg had several articles on this. Babyboomers (disillusioned with speculative investments blowing up in their faces shift from a capital gains focus to an income focus) and US banks potentially stand ready to soak up US bonds. Private individuals used to own a much larger bond share in...

Very interesting. It appears to me (just anecdotal) that many of the vocal gurus calling for 20% yields grew up/started their careers in the 70s, regarding that period as "the norm". Faber, Rogers etc.

UK did it in 1992/1993.

Re-industrialize? Was it ever de-industrialized? Don't confuse job destruction through productivity gains with actual output destruction in the manufacturing sector. Contrary to popular opinion, the US share of global manufacturing output has been stable over the last two decades.

Answer: It will happen once JGB yield rises to 8% :cool:

Time to short N225??? :cool:

Faber should put his money where his mouth is and sell far out naked $1000 strike GC puts in size. That would spice things up a bit. But then again, I know what you mean, he can very well be correct. For all I know it's about as feasible for gold to go to $500 as it is to go to $5000...

Anyone else reminded of the infamous "Stock prices have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau" line? :cool: Nov. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Gold won’t fall below $1,000 an ounce again after rising 27 percent this year to a record as central banks print money to help fund budget...

Going long and short currencies, G7 gov. bonds and all major commodities. Specifically in currencies I would expect epic moves. I don't know which direction, but the market will tell us once it unfolds, giving all of us plenty of time to place our bets. The magnitude and duration of the moves...

Once China nosedives the volatility in global markets could be unprecedented, considering China's current role in fixing global exchange rates, US bond prices and their consumption of global commodity production. They have multiple trillions of dollars at work fixing a system in place that might...

Taxes in the UK (and the rest of the G7) will skyrocket. 50% is nothing yet. What about 60 or 70% marginal top tax rates?
