      America's Tryptophan Hangover
      If you are looking for pitch-fork and torch wielding mobs you won't find them, not yet anyway. However, a quite comprehensive metamorphasis is now occuring. The consumer is speaking with their wallets, saving more, spending and borrowing less. This transformation will speak volumes and have much more power than any rant would. Nevertheless, phones rang off the hook and emails poured when TARP, C and auto-maker bailouts were being considered: I'll wager they were not calm, sleepy statements...

      The Great Experiment
      opti, it is possible becasue the struggle here is against the huge downward rate of asset deleveraging and consumption vs. the rate of inflationary pressures from money printing. Inflation must win (sad to say).

      Great article James, always enjoy(?) your sober and real take on the situation. I agree, we can't just stand back and 'let the world burn', though some would have us do that. As you say, deflation is the disease we must avoid, I just hope we survive the medicine...

      The Truth About Bailouts
      100% agree Peter, thanks for your post. I for one, am willing to incur a pay cut if it will help our nation be great again. In these dark time I just may not have a choice anyway...

      5-1/2 Ways to Make the Market Rally
      Tell me, what is the problem with letting capitalism work the markets out in their own good time w/o throwing inflatonary weapons of mass destruction at them? Aren't people fed up already at our great leaders' skill at creating this Franken-market monster? I give a hand to The Hand, he's spot on....

      Being Wrong for Five Years Makes Peter Schiff Right Now?
      Sullivan, you are missing a very key point here. OF COURSE, most of us invested in growth equities during the psuedo-good years from '03-'07. BUT, had Peter's view been taken seriously sooner, by more governments, corporations and individuals around the world, toxic financial instrument asset exposures would have been minimized. How can you possibly deny that a bit less personal gain in the years leading up to this mess would have been better for us all now and for our future gains as well? C'mon, know when to admit you're wrong.

      S&P 500 Looks Ready to Bow Out
      Thanks for the heads up on this yesterday Mark. With many of the traders of the world chirping this warning it was pretty much a sure thing by way of self-fulfilling prophesy. Scary how little buying is going on out there, the eventual tsunami upwards will be staggering.

      R.K., your idea is a nice try. But, this sort of system may dismiss the 'prophets' (for lack of a better word), those voices in the wilderness who may underperfom the markets, or just look merely average, leading up to the Black Swan event. Hindsight is the great vindicator. As always, it's best to listen and do your own homework

      Hmmm..... a 'peter schiff' on SA with only 2 comments and not linked to his actual biography? Nice try 'anonymous', was good for a laugh though...

      Only a perma-bull could actually conceive to write this article as if relevant. Criticizing him for being right but early is not relevant. This man was right when 99.9% of the population was wrong. As a 'student' of the marketplace, shouldn't you try to learn from someone who is wiser than you? Humility and honesty are virtues Mr. Sullivan.

      Chrysler's Nardelli: If you push us into bankruptcy, we may not be able to emerge.
      Hey Nardelli, that's the point! Only the 'strong' (look it up) will survive. Merge or you're going down like the rest of us common citizens.

      GM (GM) to NY Times' Thomas Friedman: "What exposes us to failure now is not our product lineup, or our business plan, or our long-term strategy," it's the global financial crisis. Come on over, "you would be surprised at what you're missing." (FastLane Blog)
      These guys never cease to amaze me... The letters C.E.O. or C.F.O. or C.O.O. or whatever behind your name and you start believing this kind of stuff (and believing you're due for a hefty bonus at year-end to top it all off!). F***ing amazing...

      Why Gold Will Decline More than the Markets
      Gold is not a recessionary hedge, it is an inflationary hedge. Add to gold positions when inflation is low, take profits when inflation is high.

      BTW, inflation is very low right now, hyper-inflation is coming (hint, hint).

      Linn Energy (LINE) has been the focus of a few article here lately and am wondering how it measures up using your screening criteria?

      If Only Hope Were an Investment Strategy
      Toro, enjoy your articles, thanks. BTW, did you liquidate your positions afterall?? You must have, as the markets screamed skywards from some mysterious buy signal, like everything suddenly is fine and dandy. Enjoy the rally folks, 40% upwards from here get ready to go short again!
