      Four Reasons Why Gold's a Slam Dunk Investment
      Oops, the last sentence should have read:

      "Both gold bears and bulls have a tendency to forget that gold is only a store of wealth, and that it's not the value of the gold that changes over time, but the value of the fiat currency."

      Bearfund, that was one of the best analyses of the contributing factors of the price of gold and it's role in one's portfolio that I have ever read. Both gold bears and bulls have a tendency to believe that gold is anything but a store of wealth, and that it's no the value of the gold that changes over time, but the value of the fiat currency. Good job.

      The Great American Economy? Take a Closer Look
      Excellent, excellent article - but don't forget Mish Shedlock in your group of those who tell it like it is regarding the economy.

      It is quite ridiculous for a healthy business to have numbers like these.

      5 Key Quotes from Netflix on the Movie Distribution Business
      NFLX is going to be huge in twenty years. As download speeds continue to increase and the integration of computers and televisions progresses, an obvious winner will be Netflix's streaming movie service. I've been a Netflix member for about 18 months now - I pay $15 for two at a time DVD rentals and unlimited streaming movies. It's a great service. The 360 and PS3 will lead the way with internet/living room TV integration, and partnering up with Microsoft is an excellent idea. I am looking for an entry point into NFLX. I'm hoping on getting in at the low 20's, but I have my doubts that NFLX will drop that low again. People will look back in twenty years and wonder why they didn't buy NFLX NOW...

      Potash Corp. Earns $2.82, a 220% Increase
      ZOMG MY STOCKS R DOWN IT MUST BE EEVIL SHORT SELLARS DOING IT!!!

      Get a grip.... The markets can be very irrational in the short term, but short sellers have NOTHING to do with a company's long term success if management does what they are supposed to do.

      Pfizer's Valuation Metrics Show Limited Downside Risk
      Agreed. Buy it, set it on a DRiP, and forget about it. In 30 years when you retire, your annual dividend income from your PFE will be much, much more than you paid for the original stock.

      WaMu and More: Uninsured Depositors Begging for Trouble
      I have been reading Mish's Blog for over a year now, and one thing I can say about it is that Mish's articles most certainly do not lack substance. He has made many excellent calls on multiple companies, and I am convinced that he is one of the very few truly objective bloggers out there - hence his success. If he is short WM, then yes, he should disclose that information. However, if WM is in danger of going under, no amount of pollyannish tongue holding will prevent it from doing so. When times are bad, those companies which acted irresponsibly when times were good will be punished. That is the nature of the business cycle, and short of the abolition of the Federal Reserve and fractional banking, that will never change. If WM goes under, it will only be part of the natural cleansing process which should ALWAYS occur after a bubble. If the natural correction is not allowed to occur, another bubble will be built on top of the previous one, and when the big bubble pops, the resulting period of economic pain will be MUCH WORSE than it necessarily had to be. If you want to stop this process from occurring, get on board the wagon to create a new banking system. Otherwise, please refrain from making me sift through your ignorant comments to find the good ones. All of you who are falling for the 'blame the bloggers' BS should realize this: WM took on too many RMBS, and is now in danger of going under. If WM goes bankrupt, it will be no one's fault but management.

      Nintendo: Game Over
      Excellent article, agreed on all points. I bought NTDOY when the Wii came out at $27 and sold at $63 a few months back. I'd love to pick it back up again, but unfortunately, the problems brewing mean the risk/reward ratio isn't nearly as enticing as it once was.

      Gold’s 'Grand' Illusion
      Actually, the best commodity to own during extreme economic hardships is practical knowledge - the more you know on a variety of subjects, the more useful you will be to your neighbors. Learn how to distill alcohol from corn, repair everything possible, grow your own food, hunt, etc. And, of course, it would certainly be wise to own a few guns and some ammunition. Those who claim that gold's value is entirely imaginary just like paper money are correct with one exception: gold has been a form of money for thousands of years, and I doubt that will change any time soon, if ever. In a doomsday scenario, gold and silver will be the last thing on people's minds as they struggle to eat and maintain shelter over their heads, but the barter system will only last so long, as a unit of monetary exchange always becomes a practical necessity in time. That unit will, more than likely, be gold and silver.

      Big Oil Once Again Abused by Congress
      Well.... It COULD be argued that the oil companies are intentionally holding back exploration to keep the prices high, but I doubt it. One thing I know for sure is that their tax breaks were put in place in the 80's when many were going bankrupt. Those tax breaks are certainly no longer necessary, and should be rescinded.

      Turning Bullish on Gold and Gold Stocks
      Nice article. I sold all of my gold and silver holdings at around $980, and just recently bought some GLD at $904, which has a 10% stop loss backing it. Gold could very well drop back to $830 or even $770, and I am 50/50 on which way it will go from here. If the financial turmoil starts back up and the dollar keeps dropping, it will almost certainly begin appreciating again, at least in the short term.
