Wanted: Rabbit-Proof Fence

Global markets continued to go totally haywire all day long, as confidence became harder to find than Waldo himself. As a result, lemmings. headless chickens, and rabbits galore made for the exit doors en masse today. Despite the televised address they got from a lame duck. Bulls or bears were invisible. Pigs were at some spa in California. Vultures circled overhead.

Stocks end worst week mixed after wild session

Wall Street capped one of its worst weeks ever with a wild session Friday that saw the Dow Jones industrials gyrate within a 1,000 point range before closing with a relatively mild loss and the Nasdaq composite index actually ending with a modest advance. Investors were still agonizing over frozen credit markets, but seven days of massive losses and the possibility of further government support for the markets tempted some investors late in the session.

Great Depression or Great Opportunity?

The talking heads say this is the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression (1929-1932), and I wouldn’t disagree. Will it lead into another Great Depression, or is the market so oversold and fearful now that it’s at--or near--the bottom? Is this a phenomenal opportunity to pick up cheap assets? Or is it more prudent to sell out now to preserve what cash you have left?

Gold Investments Market Update

While gold has again surged on safe haven buying overnight (and is up since 20% since the financial and economic crisis deepened), there is increasing surprise that gold has not surged to its recent record highs especially as there are deepening shortages of retail bullion internationally and the gold holdings of gold ETFs continue to surge.

The End of The Beginning

A slew of injections that would put this season's flu vaccination centres to shame continued around the world. Various banks were force-fed fresh capital whether they wanted/needed it or not. The process of shoring up and laying a new foundation for the badly damaged global financial system was well under way, just two days after the summit of national leaders finally resulted in the recogni...
