  • Consumers Signal Recession Coming [View article]
    It's time to start spelling things out in plain English and the times are increasingly making that easier to do.

    I like real estate though as a hedge against the inflation I see coming long-term on the devaluation of fiat currency, plus the secure shelter it offers. New construction and homebuilders are another thing, but real estate is cheaper now and affordable thanks to record low mortgage rates... if you can qualify. If you can, don't count on always qualifying - scoop it up while you can.

    Thanks for remembering. Sometimes I wonder if people notice. I was at a conference where Roubini was introduced as "the guy who predicted the crisis," and I thought... hmm, they must mean the other guy.

    Gold has been my favorite investment idea for probably 3 or 4 years now.

    I understand why people would hold these stocks, which based on analysis of current numbers appear valued fine for their growth "expectations". I would, however, consider adding some or all of these to a portfolio: domestic energy (coal, nat gas, oil, other), agricultural commodities and/or stocks, precious metals.

  • Confidence Is Waning [View article]
    Thanks for your insight, which added value to my thinking. With regard to commodities, all except agriculture and precious metals, where I think long will pay off longer term.

    I said Best Buy MIGHT be a BETTER barometer, and I believe I noted the market share noise there as well.

    Just give it some time... I'm usually a little early... dating back to the financial crisis and real estate collapse. Just give it a little time.

    So, basically what has happened here is an interesting study in the human mind. It would seem that there is a protective instinct when a human being has a stake in something, so that he/she (mostly he) reacts defensively to guard his stake against perceived threat without regard to the actual content of the article. What this says is that people are incapable of logic when they have a stake in something. It's quite interesting, studying responses to articles such as these. I appreciate it, believe it or not, as it helps me understand the psyche better.

    Apple is in a bubble? Please direct my attention to that reference in the article, as I seem to be suffering from amnesia.

    I realize that you were commenting to the comments and not the article with regard to AAPL. I was as well. Thank you for your comments.

    That's it, now I'm actually going to study Apple and produce a buy, sell or hold report on the stock!!! Now you've done it!

    Perhaps I should just have written, "Apple... Discuss!" since that's all people seem to see. God bless ya!

    Hmm, is that so? Perhaps I was channeling a spirit or something, as I did not think I wrote that. I had better read it over again.
