Anthony

My goodness you have some critics! The Market is flipping around like a dying fish out of water. Me, I been pulling the plug and building up some cash and it may be foolish but I'm thinking about some more Gold or Silver type investments and maybe a tiche more water and commoodities.

I'm not so confident in the Market or our Government. Obozo and Congress still have their heads up thier butt. This downsizing think is a massive contraction that may not end for awhile. All these layoffs are part of it. More people out of work means less people spending money and more contraction. They may be necessary because there is so much waste but it's not stopping for a while.

Seems to me, the Governement is fueling inflation and hiding the numbers from the Consumer Price Index. No food or energy in that index. And Obozo and his criminals report an uptick in unemployemnt just before the election, wow what a coincedence and the suckers bought it. 47% are still sucking the life out of anybody with money via the Government and Obozo wants more from the rich to spend on his grand vacations.

Once the masses realize inflation exists big time Precisous metals and comodities are gonna soar. The masses probbaly won't realize this until we get an honest turn up in the economy, the contraction ends and businesses are hiring and workers demand Pay increases. All of a sudden inflation will become apparent to the blind and that will signal the beginning of the end for Precious Metals, Gold anyway, I think Silver and other commodities will still have a way to run due to necessity and scarcity.

Keep wirting Anthony, even the critics are thinking. I like reading you better than that **** Bob Costas. Guns, my other favorite, Costas has it all figured out wrong. He's a Putz!

Don`t believe the negative, mostly right wing media.33 straight months of job growth,

the Dow over 13,000 and Mercedes sales are thru the roof.Enjoy the bull market.

hate to say it, but three weeks ago i told you so .....

good post r-t.  i read anthony for the market research and he is a smart guy (does good interviews on his feet, etc. - the lights are on) but would never follow his short-term advice as we are not "traders" in any of our strategies, even our "momentum" strategy for high net worth clients.  as an "early-adopter" we have been in bearx, ryirx and efu since the S&P was making highs above 1,450 but kept stalling at 1,460 three times running (a chart "table top").

right or wrong i can make a solid case to be bearish at this time and we don't mind being wrong for the right reasons over the short term .... hmmm, i think i just wrote this weeks market alert?

this is NOT investment advice.  go see your professionsl financial advisor before making any decisions as your circumstances will vary.

be safe out there ....

There is nothing to indicate that anything but volatility will rule the market for the forseeable futire. Over the cliff or not, the 6 figure layoff announcements within days after the election, and equally as many since if not more, reduced workweek hours, compamies targeting to stay below 50 employees, movement of operations, plants to foreign countries, increases in debt, and many other factors validate, in my mind, that the market is a casino. It is not for investors, It is for high stakes hedge funds, ETF and flash trading.

Proposed budget/fiscal policy on either side of the aisle will not create any net new jobs. Soon enough we will be back to JOBS SAVED accounting but weak demand, and fear  among consumers will prevail as the overall component of an economy stuck at recessionary levels. Unless you are a wise and seasoned trader, best keep your assets in cash, even at the risk of the feds continuing to print and devalue the $. Government securities, especially municipal bonds, are equally at risk given the number of insolvent states and cities. Want to by some in Detroit or anywhere in CA?

I am no trader or market expert but have done well the last few years due to luck and good timong more than anything else. Once I had made what I thought was a pretty good return by selling, I bailed and have very little exposure any more. After reading Michael Smiths book, THE BIG SHORT and Neil Barofskys boob, BAILOUT, Idoubt I will ever have any more than pocket change at risk n the market.
