yes, gold silver oil ngas
I dont intend to play shorterm stuff like now
this will fade, crushing bullish spirits

amazing how stupid the masses can be
they now actually believe a war will be beneficial for our sluggish economy
what horseshit
it would raise the rising energy costs, threaten oil shipping lanes, increase likelihood of terrorist activity within the USA, tilt our economy even more toward defense and security, away from capex and retail
what lunacy

very shorterm, signals are improving
only because of massive massive downdraft in most stocks
when oversold is resolved, then what?
back to the fundamentals, which stink on ice !!!

watch banks and chipsemis, both suck still

the biggee is Sunday with Brazil elections
a bomb was averted in Sao Paolo outside their stock exchange
the radical Lula de Silva is heavily favored and ahead
he wants to default on Brazil's $350 billion foreign debt
JPMorgo owns $4B of it
Citibank owns $11B of it
Spain's Banco Santander owns about $30B of it
a default could ruin Spain's entire bank system, and set up derivative events in the US bigbank arena
does CNBC cover that?
