      Citigroup Sees Gold Reaching $2000
      Citi is raising the interest rates on credit cards. I guess they will use the increasing profits to buy gold.

      Seeking an Historical Precedent for the Current Crisis
      Even if all the initiatives pull us out of this recession relatively soon, what will the damage be to monetary soundness for decades to come? We are living through a once-in-a-lifetime deleveraging of consumer spending and bank balance sheets. There will be no "return to normal" because we are going to see a new normal. What companies will be able to earn in the future is pure guess work at this time.

      Last Thursday Was the Bottom - It's Time to Get Back in
      Yes, the markets can begin to climb anticipating a recovery, but I seriously doubt that an economic recovery is only 4-6 months away! I hope and wish, but I just don't think that is in the cards. Economist after economist (yes, I know they can be wrong) is predicting another year or TWO before economic activity picks up meaningfully. How can we call an upturn when we haven't yet even seen all the problems or the impact of all the problems? To advise "jump back in now" is dangerous advice.

      Why Don’t We Buy Stocks When They Are on Sale?
      If you can assure me today's conditions are exactly like 1974, I will agree with your premise. If you can't, you are wasting space and giving dangerous advice.

      Another Mistake, Another Rally: Time to Switch to Cash
      Just about any movement upward makes one think of going to cash. Risks are still weighted to the downside, and upward movement appears unsustainable. Healing has not been accomplished in financials, and the recession/depression is still in full force.

      Jim Rogers on Today's Market
      I'm sorry, but these views of Rogers have been spread around for some time. This is no longer timely info. I don't know how many times they can be published so someone has a byline. Let's get current.

      There's Nothing to Fear But Fearmongers Themselves
      I think the causes of the recession/depression are real enough. They are much too real for us to have been talked into it. On the other hand, I am selectively buying as this decline is happening. I don't think the world is ending soon. Patience is a virtue.

      Surprising Call for Return to the Gold Standard
      The author has slapped a hornets' nest. Good Job! Much too much common sense offered for any politician to listen to. The only leader who can successfully navigate the next few years is one who can walk on water. Mr. Obama is about to get his feet (and more) wet. The question is, what will he do to us?

      What Will the Baby Boomer Bust Mean for Equities?
      I would refer interested readers to the books of Harry Dent. He has done much analysis on the changing tides as Boomers retire. He is also calling for a major Depression to begin in late '09 or early '10. Time will tell.

      A No-Confidence Vote Among Financial Stocks
      The overall market can't go anywhere without the financials. We have a long way to go to see any real life in this market. Right now, we don't even know how sick we are.

      The Humility of Realism
      I am sorry to see David single out the Boomers with the quip that they "do not like hard things." Boomers have lived through more difficult and troubling times than the younger generations. I am afraid it is the post-Boomers who do not like hard things, and therefore try to blame the Boomers for all ills. Such generalities are in error, show prejudice, and detract from an author I usually admire. Let's just march the Boomers out and put them in concentration camps. That will solve everything, David.
