JBTrader, I have read Rogers' case for the commodities bull market. The demand side of the equation is a no brainer. Per my last post, it is the supply side of the equation which I am finding less easy to read into. I have looked at the CRB yearbook, but there are really no apparent...

Have any of you actually looked at the supply/demand situations in some of these commodities. Rogers cites this as his main reason for being bull. However, I took a look at the 2003 CRB yearbook, and I cannot really see any huge imbalances. I am not saying Rogers is wrong, I am just saying...

Anyone care to elaborate on what Rev Shark is talking about in his latest post... How to Regard the Voices of Doom and Gloom. I don't have RM anymore, but I sure do like Rev, would love to know what he is referring to.

The other day I found myself thinking about a very simple system I read about in The Hedge Fund Edge by Mark Boucher a few years ago. He doesn't elaborate on it with great detail; I think it aims to be long the top five performing markets globally at all times as defined by: 1. Take 5 lowest...

Todays WSJ had the annual forecasts of the country's top rated economists. I have often wondered exactly how an economist puts together a precise GDP forecast. Love him or hate him, Kudlow has been exception at this. Kudlow and Brian Wesbury were saying in the spring, at Dow 7500, that we...

Shoeshine, I have no idea what Greenspan’s motives are. I just wanted to point out a fascinating irony, and one of the most hypocritical things I have every seen.

I just listened to interview on FinancialSense.com with Dr. Lawrence Parks, the author of "What Mr Greenspan Really Thinks." He revealed something about Greenspan that totally blew my mind. I am sure that all of you have read Greenspan's 1966 review of Atlas Shrugged where he credits gold...

Frankly, there is no one on the face of this earth who knows what lies ahead for the US economy, we seem to be on unchartered ground.....A sole superpower in an Information/Global Economy where the fortunes of literally every other economy hinge mostly on our $10 trillion Great American...

He means that over the last twenty years the vast majority of investment has been in financial assets such as stocks and bonds and such while neglecting productive capacity such as Sugar Plantations, Oil Refineries, and Led Mines.

In keeping with the spirit that there are no easy answers to these questions.......I think we are all correct. Productivity has increased tremendously in certain areas, keeping prices down. China and globalization in general also keeps prices down. The goverment does there share by...

Shoeshine, I see your point. I am not a conspiracy theorist, however, the CPI is truly a joke and sometimes I cannot believe that markets actually pay attention to it. I'm not sure how familiar you are with hedonics, but the goverment has fudged the numbers with this method by figuring if a...

Shoeshine, regarding the question as to why we have not seen inflation yet with this rapid money supply growth. The best answer I have ever heard came from Marc Faber; he believes that we can see a period of simaltaneous inflation and deflation. China is putting such heavy downward pressure on...

Thanks H20.............never even look at the Worden scans!

I am trying to create a very simple scan to find oversold stocks. I currently use the following formula for overbought stocks: (C>20) AND ((C-C21)/C21*100) >25 The problelm is that entering a negative number on the right side of the equation (say -25) generates a syntax error. Any...

Does anyone know of any software that will allow real time scanning. I have a few fairly simple PCFs in TC2000 that I would like to execute at 3:45 and get closing prices instead of waiting for the next open.

Praetorian..........I have been grappling with this for some time. There is really not a good way to gain exposure to a basket of commodities besides the CRB futures contract. The next best thing is Pimco's fund....but I am afraid they will screw up the bond portfolio and diminish the returns...

Thanks guys

Are there any brokers or platforms that would allow you to make a trade and then put two stops in - one as a stop loss and one as a profit target - both would be GTC and even more ideally - when one is hit, the other is automatically be canceled. Is this possible? Seems like a reasonable request...

If any of you have Realmoney, Rev Shark has been talking about this notion for a few weeks. He thinks that while most people are bullish, they are underinvested because they haven't had the confidence to act fully on their bullish convictions and hence they still have plenty of buying power...
