    "Monkeys pick bottoms" Hugh Hendry defends shorting the USD

    I'm not trying to diss Hugh Hendry, Makloda. I'm sure he is very intelligent and a great market player as his trackrecord proves. Good for him. Stll, gold outperformed his fund 100% last 10 years? Imagine that. Working 24/7 years in a row to try and create return on investment when...

    I think this Swine Flu is for real, manufactured, and will get much worse

    I prefer the Austrian view to Viruses. Let it spread. Do not close down borders. Do not wear mouthmasks. Let the markets decide if it"s a pandemic or not.

    "Monkeys pick bottoms" Hugh Hendry defends shorting the USD

    Come on Makloda, you know how these things go. It's entertainment. If Cramer tells people to buy the banks and they crash he is a puppet. If Hendry tells people to short stocks and it blows up he is early? If Mr Hendry can't deal with that he shouldnt be on TV and he should just...

    Inflation Hedge Question - is there a way to "go long" the CPI?

    It was kind of a (silly) joke that Europe would persue a hard currency policy in times of global currency devaluation obviously. If we can take history as a guide anyway. Still, some kind of exposure to foreign currency could be wise. I read how when FDR devalued the $ and banned gold...

    Short the dollar hard

    USD is good for 60% of world currency reserves. Euro about 25%? If one of them truly totally collapses and keeping in mind Euro zone and US are trading partners n1 the only asset for capital preservation will be precious metals. 1 Euro = 4 dollars or vice versa will never happen ever...
