Any Scientist or Engineers out there that can tell me if this is a good deal of not. Its a solar generator that they want $1600.00---I feel like it seems like a good investment....can anyone help me out on your thoughts. Seems like a good "get prepared item", but a lot to invest without doing some research. mysolarbackup.com

That 377 call was fantastic.

>>Okay, the HUI bounced off 374.04 not 377, but what's 3 points among friends?<< not sure, but it might not be the bottom -- I'm willing to take a shot at it here, though -- risk/reward looks pretty good on a lot of them.

It must be March... Nothing like a nice vacation to recharge the batteries, although if I was a government worker in France, I'd still have 4 weeks left. Anyway... time to get back to business (although it's going to take a couple of days to shakeout all the beach sand). On the correction back in February, I thought we were setting up for a nice seasonal, March to May rally in gold and PM stock... Message 26290437 Message #20934 from SliderOnTheBlack at 2/1/2010 2:00:08 PM The March to May call options are looking sweet here, and the deep out of the money put sales like free money. Selling out of the money puts as pullbacks reach technical support levels has been a literal license to print money. While HUI 377 had a minor technical breech (369.90 closing low), we had strong buying on each of the three days the HUI Gold Bugs Index closed below 377, with intra-day trading on all three days hitting at least HUI 390. And George Soros' "Davos diss" of gold turned out to be exactly what we thought it was, a blatant shakeout attempt so he and the Red Shield boys could add to positions. The recent strength in the US dollar has not come from economic, or fiscal strength, but merely from being the lesser of other fiat evils. That the old resistance level of $1,000 gold has now held as new support, speaks loudest of all. And with sustained gold prices over $1,000 and with energy costs having fallen dramatically from their 2008 peaks - the well managed companies will be printing money. You saw what NEM's earnings report did for them into a weak tape. At $1100 gold and $17 silver, the well managed companies are literally printing money, and EARNINGS are about to become the catalyst for the next leg up in this cycle. I think we're going to see some 7-8% dividend payers before this cycle is over. SOTB

Trader Vic, George Soros & SEC Wonk On Gold Bubble... We all found out why Soros was dissing gold in Davos, and now a senior policy adviser for the SEC has jumped on the "gold is in a bubble" bandwagon (someone must need to cover a really big short position). And it turns out that Soros was buying a lot more than just the GLD etf. Here's a breakdown on what gold stocks Soros was buying, along with another smackdown of the canary in the coal mine by an SEC senior policy adviser, and two interesting videos from legendary trader... Vic "Trader Vic" Sperandeo and his thoughts on gold, Ben Bernanke, and how hyperinflation will unfold... sliderontheblack.com SOTB
