lets look at greece............the value of their life investments, in their country is being taken away, and they have NO control over it...........
want to bet on how many of them, are wishing that they had put their life investments in gold and silver, and not into things that their gov't pushed them into?

Perhaps people are starting to realize that what counts right now are earnings and screw Europe and the EU. Their failure is our success.
wyz- if you think the usa lives in a world vacuum, you really are living in a dream world. if everything that is happening in the euro zone is bad.........then it also must mean that everything that we are doing in the usa is bad, as we are doing exactly the same thing.
the euro zone issues are easier to see because they are comprised of sovereign countries, but we are in the same place as the euro zone, if you replace italy with calif, or new jersey, and the fed with the eu.

Stocks rally as Bernanke vows to help economy
The Fed chief says the central bank will step in if things get worse.
why does our gov't think it can fix things? 3 years and 3 trillion fiat dollars later, our gov't still has not learned that is can't fix, what it can't fix!
is our gov't that stupid as to risk the future of america, for what THEY THINK will help them get reelected?

with the feds willingness to do qe-3, the markets and gold are off to the races.
imo- the markets for immediate greed, and gold for fear of the future.

maui1,hit it on the head there! It's all about the glammor of pole position and has little if anything to do with the common folks of America. Next door somebody stated the same thing and that they were not on the rep. or dem. side as they are the same peas in the pod. Or as I like to put it playing the old good cop bad cop theatre roll. |

here are the facts........ the people in the markets are edge. when the market moves down with any momentum, the fall will be dramatic, as everyone will be thinking "this is it"! - just the opposite of what you guys are saying about gold and silver. i don't see that with gold and silver......as everyone knows it is measured against an arbitrary valued, fiat, currency, that is solely based on 'public confidence'. holding silver and gold, is security, and can not be taken away. the value of your paper money and paper stocks, can be taken away, with loss of confidence, which can be the result of many reasons, to many to mention. What facts do have to back that up? The market has gone down several times and rebounded very well...including today. Frank and Bruce said 1775 on Gold and that looks correct so far. |

frank- lately, since proven wrong....over and over again, just says what is obvious. how can you say gold will plunge from 1300 on one day and the next say, it is going up to 1775?
and you.........will buy a turd from frank- if that is what he is selling today.

We just voted everyone out in 2006.
Then we voted everyone out again in 2008.
Then we voted everyone out in 2010.
So if we vote everyone out again in 2012 that will help?
Nope.

let me admit something.......but you have to promise you won't tell anyone.
when i was 28 (over 30 years ago), i went to ef hutton, and talked to someone there about buying silver. i bought 1000 ozs at about 4 bucks, but more importantly, what i didn't do, was put that 4000 bucks into a stock she was recommending me to buy, instead of buying silver. that stock was msft.

when i was 28 (over 30 years ago),
right......i was wrong, i was still in colo then.......must have been 86/7, as i was in hi at the time
i can remember......i even got mad at her as she seemed pushy as she must have had a better sales commission on the stock, than selling the metal
i have done a lot of good things over the years, but i also have done some stupid things as well.

wxyz
love the list with one exception
Apple scares me......if owned i would keep, but buying at this level with health of Steve Jobs is risky in my opinion. Rest are tried and true good dividend companies...solid earnings, solid balance sheets.
Nice composition.....

Anything in cash? At least 10,000 points of the Dow are owned by you identically-invested zombies. Doesn't bode well for when things go to Hell. Kind of like a 6th floor fire, only one exit and the door opens to flames and fire in the well. When you JUMP, it's a long way down to really hard ground.
