    Peak Oil Doom and Gloom, or maybe not...

    The key though, says Kulcinski, will be developing a fusion reactor, which he says could be done within 15 to 20 years, in tandem with a program to establish a permanent human presence on the moon. Just four tons of helium-3 would be enough to supply all the power needs for the United States for...

    Jim Rogers on Bernanke: "He is a total fool"

    So if a melt down happens they will take your gold but they (whoever they are) won't take your REAL assets(if your scenario plays out it really won't matter what assets you have beyond a gun and plenty of ammo)? Given your views I hope your bunker is well stocked. Just make sure the cans of spam...

    My story for the week

    Thanks for the update and bump Kev, it is so easy, especially after a good run to forget that you really don't know jack about what the market is going to do and to start thinking that you can make a better fundamental assessment than the rest of the crowd. It analogous to when events happen in...

    Jim Rogers on Bernanke: "He is a total fool"

    You (and Marx, cycle of commodification) may be right one day decades or centuries from now but people have been saying that for over 80 years and it has yet to happen. Because the US is probably closer to its production possibility frontier than any other country (and still we are far away from...

    Jim Rogers on Bernanke: "He is a total fool"

    Agree completely, what I meant was that US entreprenuers had it relatively easy in terms of competeing in the global market place when their Eastern Bloc and Chinese counterparts were either non existent or so hamstrung by their countries lack of economic freedom and support. Even the Europeans...

    Jim Rogers on Bernanke: "He is a total fool"

    Empee hit the nail on the head: the future in the US is based on one thing and that is growth. If we don't grow enough we will suffer and all the bad things the bears worry about will come to pass. What is especially worrying to bears is that they don't see where this growth is going to come...

    If the consumer has been feeling the pinch they have been waiting for this bargain period to make their purchases. I am long here and expect a sharp rally especially in techs in the next 1-2 weeks.

    Any traders who run a hedged long/short portfolio?

    This sounds a lot like what Hussman does with his funds. Business cycle investing where the return is measured peak to peak. To take out the stock picking component try running a back test on a generic basket of stocks based on the market's PE and see if you get the same result.

    Oil over $93 and gold right at $800

    We all know that at some point the music will stop but does it look like it is about to stop in the next week, month, months? We have just had one of the nastiest credit shocks in history, the IBs posting huge losses, AAA downgraded to junk in 6 months, oil at $90+, housing getting killed and...

    Going Full-time, please advise

    Venturerider, FWIW I taught my father how to day trade the YM in 3 months using only 2 setups at age 63. That was 18 months ago. He started trading 1 contract and now trades up to 120 at a time. Even though he only trades a few days a week he is up127% this year. Factors that contributed to his...

    Guaranteed funds with Market return

    Apparently still the 7% and 40% of the 2%. What you are losing is 3 years of compuonding CD rates vs chance to participate in market for very low risk. I agree with BJL though, better to put the cash in CDs and put on a debit Call spread on the QQQQs each month or something like that with better...
