I agree that $35 is overvalued.

Very true.

In what environment do you expect Microsoft to steamroll past 35-40/share and keep it that way... in the near future (oh yeah W7, but I have that factored in). Nevermind. We know there are better stocks to short. EOC.

In investing there are so many stocks/bonds/places to put your money that you don't have to play JJ from MP. Your analogy sucks.

Brons is right, as usual. Earnings/inflation can catch things up over time. Just because something is overpriced doesn't mean it's a great idea to short. Duh? Hello?

I'd short MSFT at $35 if I didn't have the following rule:

Never bet against Bill Gates or Steve Jobs.

I think of you as more of an idiot savant. 0% I like that. You are the reason I make $.

Don't forget your bib, those cheeseburgers can be messy.

You don't make money. Well, maybe you've been lucky in the past and if you were long anything this last year it was tough NOT to make money, but that doesn't mean you're +EV.

Regardless of what you think you are, you are not some awesome brilliant contrarian, your posts from start to finish here show that. From goofy made-up technical analysis, bizarre misconceptions about what an index fund is and what it does to Peter Schiff apologetics you've shown yourself to have a pretty lethal combination of ignorance and arrogance.

From goofy made-up technical analysis,if you have used technical analysis, you have made things up in your own mind about what it means to you bizarre misconceptions about what an index fund I got to call bulls*** on you here is and what it does to Peter Schiff apologetics no apologies, you are ignorant enough to try and sum up a firm by imaginary portfolios and a few losers, you said that the gains or losses on dividends paid in foreign currency

had no bearing on the situation, lol, who cares about the guy, what does he have to do with you or I sir? Not A Damn Thing you've shown yourself to have a pretty lethal combination of ignorance and arrogance.

I will admit that my ignorance and arrogance will kill me very soon because I have a lethal combination, and that's how things work.

Laugh out loud funny, so you can't exactly wrap your head around things that are unorthodox, but love coming to the unconventional zone to vent your rigidity and complacency which (I can be almost sure) is ever so frustrating.

Gold rose as much as 1.8 percent to $1,158.40 an ounce on speculation a slumping dollar will increase investor appetite for the metal as an alternative asset. It traded at $1,154.18 at 10:04 a.m. in Singapore.

Hey everyone... i just put up these youtube videos... hope you enjoy it:

This 5 part video series is composed of two interviews of John Williams from ShadowStats.com. These interviews explain the fundamental reasons why the United States is headed towards a hyperinflationary great depression in the near future. John Williams also explains how to position your financial assets and prepare for this inevitable outcome.

YouTube - Hyperinflation Special Report - Part 1 of 5 - John Williams of ShadowStats

YouTube - Hyperinflation Special Report - Part 2 of 5 - John Williams of ShadowStats

YouTube - Hyperinflation Special Report - Part 3 of 5 - John Williams of ShadowStats

YouTube - Hyperinflation Special Report - Part 4 of 5 - John Williams of ShadowStats

YouTube - Hyperinflation Special Report - Part 5 of 5 - John Williams of ShadowStats

The first interview (parts 1-3) was conducted by the Financial Sense News Hour on April 12th, 2008.

http://www.financialsense.com/Expert.../Williams.html

The second interview (parts 4-5) was conducted by King World News on December 4th, 2009.

http://kingworldnews.com/kingworldne..._Williams.html

This video of David Walker on 60 Minutes goes into more detail about the bankrupcy of the United States Government and confirms much of what John Williams has been saying.

And this last video, featuring Peter Schiff , Max Keiser , and Ron Paul explain how Social Security is a ponzi scheme

this is just a wild guess, that looks like ericcartmanez...

EDIT: John Williams is great at pointing out (among other things) the flawed accounting wizardry of the US... and terrible at timing.

Notice the USDX dropped from 120 to 80ish before the price started to spike in 2005.

Martin Feldstein, a professor of economics at Harvard... buy all the TIPS you want, real price inflation will far outpace CPI + 1%, imo. An etrade baby could have written that. I would like to talk to Martin about this. I do however like this website. Thx for the link blender.

Yes many are, and some are getting creative for extra protection. It's all about technique.

My platform has support for gold at $1100, I can't bring myself to buy it.

Very interested in China in the short term after China said it would raise banks reserve requirement. Some money to be made here, China may fall some.

I understand, not a big deal, I wonder what your feelings about other PM's.

Indeed, the BRIC countries in general, I was interested when I read Jim Rogers "A Bull in China" (I wish I had gotten to it when the book was brand new)... now I wait for a dip in Chinese equity prices.

Guess I should do my 2 uni exams and maybe grind a sesh of poker at some point also.....

One thing I have considered but never really seriously considered is investing in one of the Pokersites (or parent companies).. how is the fight to legalise it in the States going?

Anyone in on some gaming stocks?

No, I had not seen this one yet, I'm on 2/3 now. Murphy is an honorable man. I have been checking up on gata.org for a while now.

Great documentation on gold price suppression from GATA.
