Friday's Jump: Sucker's Rally

for me, so many trend predictions, mine and anybody else's, of dollar to gold, higher oil, market down, are time dependent for risk/reward use

but liked your article very much, reminding me of the waiting hedge fund hordes spotting when to redeem and dump

though, after that, a larger more sustained (more than a month) bear rally could finally be let loose

we see! :-)

John Hussman: Holiday Update

interesting read, as usual, thanks!

if you could do a follow up re long rates danger etc, that'd be great

it seems the writes i respect re rates seem split between deflation keeping rates down, and fiscal irresponsibility forcing rates up

maybe a little of one first, then the other?

thanks again

Can Deflation Be Avoided?

nice article, would only add i don't think a market rise, even of several months, will derail the deflation dent - too much debt, not enough income

also, i don't so much think deflation is coming, as that it's here, but just beginning to be really barely felt

just my thoughts :-) eventually, we'll see....

Hedge Fund Redemptions May Crash Q1 Markets

i think this is a good point - continued (increased?) fear leading to even further redemptions later in the 1st quarter

not guaranteed that will happen, but certainly something to consider

even w/an obama stimulus coming up

we'll see i guess :-)

U.S. Dollar: The Trade of the Decade

very interesting article -

i've always felt (since i started thinking about currencies, not that long ago) that we (small investors/traders) were pawns and witnesses to the first ever global chess match

and much as i lean w/ron paul, that the fed is our main problem domestically, the fed is the dollar (or some currency of our own) and the real battle was between the dollar and the other world currencies

something of what you say speaks to me as bearing a bit of truth

we'll see :-)

ps - doesn't mean i think gold/silver will end up tanking; after all, who has the most gold reserves in the world, the u.s. (us)

The Problem with GLD and SLV ETFs

these type of articles, as per your initial oct article, can always use a "re-visit"

not because you may or may not be wrong, but simply 'cause it's great to look back, re-evaluate, and adjust as necessary, ie, it's fun and useful

though i disagree re gold's eventual perceived value, and though i agree re gold's probable price retreat during this time of heavy deflation...

i'd mostly, at this point, question your accuracy re central banks' selling off their gold, i had thought this had abated for now, and have read several acct's of china, russia, and others, increasing their gold reserves

and finally, as an insurance, any insurance, that one hopes never to use, and otherwise seems a waste to spend on, why is it the united states has always maintained its lead in % of gold kept?

in a spot peak crisis, missiles and gold do speak to the world, strongly, in a language clearly understood by all, in regard to any "backing" our country may need

either way, looking fwd to your other follow ups on this topic

interesting stuff, thank you :-)

Wall Street Breakfast - Sample Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News by SA Editor Rachael Granby Bank trio becomes duo. Wells Fargo (WFC) will become the largest U.S. bank by branches with its bid for Wachovia (WB), after Citigroup (C) withdrew from compromise negotiations late yesterday on concerns about the quality of some of Wachovia's assets. Wells Fargo, with a bid valued at $11.4B, expects the purchase to be completed by the end of the year, and denies it will have to absorb assets shakier than originally thought. Government considers next steps. As the financial crisis continues to worsen, the U.S. government is considering two dramatic steps to turn around, or at least slow, the damage: guaranteeing billions of dollars in bank debt and temporarily insuring all U.S. bank deposits. The moves, which would mark the government's most extensive intervention to date, are in discussion stages only. Credit stays frozen. As frozen credit markets refuse to thaw, the cost of default protection on corporate bonds reaches new global records amid investor concerns the credit crisis will trigger corporate failures as companies struggle to finance their businesses. Interbank lending remains limited, and borrowing from the Fed's expanded discount window continued its trend of setting new highs every week, as the total daily average rose to $420.2B vs. $367.8B last week.

Better Choices - Cramer's Lightning Round (10/15/08)

by SA Editor Rachael Granby

Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramers Mad Money TV program,
Wednesday, October 15.

Bullish Calls:

Continental Resources (CLR) -- "This is a remarkable decline. All of the high quality ones are down so much, I can't go against it. This is where you pull the trigger.
3M (MMM) -- The moment this stock starts yielding 5%, I'm a buyer. Until then, keep your powder dry.

Bearish Calls:

Computer Sciences (CSC) -- This is a company that was going to be bought, but they passed up the chance. Now I don't want to buy it."
Annaly Mortgage (NLY) -- I think this is a business model that needs to borrow money. Definitively do not buy."
Northrop Grumman (NOC) -- You can't own the defense stocks right now. If I had to own one, I'd look at Lockheed Martin (LMT) with its good dividend.
