We will be living in a resource constrained world here shortly.

All forms of energy, metals, and agriculture are the spots to be.....the fed borrowing and printing money is just icing on the cake.


Capitialism will be tested in the next 100 years......Growth cannot continue forever.

I'm green on all my energy holdings in my long term account now. I didn't expect this rally for months. I sold off at least 10% of my energy depending on the stock.

Overall pretty slow day for me, I did get one fat trade of HSY. A few people got real $$ on COF but I was too slow and didn't want to chase it.

Always take a look out from the madness and look at the big picture. It's been pretty consistent. You don't have to know the specifics, just the general trend. Right now you need to be cautious but don't panic either. If you can't afford to lose any money, stay on the sidelines. Otherwise pick up some good values and wait it out. That's not usually my strategy but I scalp all damn day at work and you have to be flexible.

Looks like Canadian banking firms, Ontario Teacher Pension Plan & Manulife Insurance are interested in buying up some American banking assets.

Wow, another ride up & down the big bad roller coaster. Hmm I'm wondering how next year would look
