Sooner or later the ECB will panic over their rotting banking system. The day to short bunds will be when the ECB's biggest hawk Weber will get publicly crucified in the Berlin Reichstag by a mob of revolting proletarians.

How soon until these are unlisted? I like the idea of trading home prices, but am skeptical of these "paired ETFs". Didn't those paired crude oil predecessors die out due to low volume?

The effect of labor costs on CPI is bigger than gasoline's -- and labor costs have been flat to down, possibly for many more months from here.

If you read between the lines, over his entire letter then I think you are misinterpreting him by saying he switched from the "low inflation, Japan-style 10-20 year bubble implosion" camp to the "a decade of out of control, above average inflation, starting in 3 years" fanclub. He puts...

Of course temporary. Next up: Hyperinflation! :D

Will FAZ go back to $100 and bail you out of your loss?

Was he? His "massive short covering rally" that he proclaimed at 4750 kind of fizzled out around 5000 and now we're back at 4750. That facts as it stands is that Goldberg's massive short squeeze that he predicted never happened after he predicted it. It happened in March and April, not in May...

If Gold rises 5000% and prices for meat/rent/healthcare/insurance/hairdresser/cleaning lady/phone bill stay the same, is that hyperinflation? What if Diamond prices go up 5000000%? Is that also hyperinflation? What about sesame seeds? What if they go up 100000000%? Hyperinflation? The CRB...

Allegedly Rogers is now involved in some farm projects in Canada and Brazil, see http://www.investorazzi.com/2009/04/06/latest-on-jim-rogers%E2%80%99-farmland-projects/ -- if that is correct then at least he puts his money where his mouth is, since one of his theories is that farming will be the...

According to Faber's definition the US already was in a period of "hyperinflation" in 79/80 then (CPI was at 13.5%). Clearly, that wasn't hyperinflation if one assumes that entails price increases being "out of control". While there is no hard definition, Wikipedia suggests But I guess a talking...

You can synthetically generate those prices using historical Deutsche Mark, French Franc, Italian Lira etc. quotes, applying the respective weights that were used in the EUR creation.

There are tons of journalists/newsletter writers/TV talking heads who don't trade but constantly feel they have to give dozens of trading recommendations and "opinions" on where markets are headed. Covel is not one of them as far as I can see.

Bove forgot to mention C is a "screaming buy" -- like he said Lehman was :cool:

One thing I find interesting with the comparisons of China 2000-2050 and US 1900-1950 is that while the US became the undisputed economic superpower in that period, the Dow Jones only managed to eek out an annual price gain of only 2.8% annualized (50 in 1900 to ~200 in 1950). While I...

Or this one, from November 2002 (http://www.financialsense.com/transcriptions/2002/Faber.html): At the time the S&P was right at 900, a few months from the 2003 rally that would take it up 72% from the time Dr. Dumbass made his amazing call. Not having a public track record that "remembers"...

Sorry to disappoint you, but the above makes too much sense to garner much attention on ET. Would you instead have posted some ridiculous hyperinflation paranoia tidbits from Peter Schiff or Marc Faber you'd have 50 replies within the hour :cool:

All these free Webservices are finding out that eyeballs are worth nothing and as soon as you try to monetize them.. they leave -- to some similar free service with less ads that hopes to attract more eyeballs and then hopes to monetize them, which of course fails. And the cycle starts anew.

A couple too many "Green Shots" for the Germans?

What is it in German? "Grün Shooten"? :cool:

Oh yea? What funds does he manage? What are his returns YTD? "In June 1990, he set up his own business, MARC FABER LIMITED which acts as an investment advisor and fund manager." "He is also associated with a variety of funds [...]" The typical biographic lingo for somebody that...
