      How to Construct a Deflation Proof Portfolio
      Historically, long term government bonds have been the best deflationary investment. However, the last such period was an entirely different environmnet where the Dollar was backed by Gold reserves. Only after the Govt made owning gold illegal, and ended the backing of its own paper, and then an inflationary world war, were we able to pull out. Today, we have no hard assets backing the Buck nor any real resources. Therefore, I too am more concerned about inflation [once the stock bubble bust has subsided] and people begin to bid up the prices of staples again, like food and petrol.

      Bond Expert: Wednesday Wrap
      When is the Treasury going to guarantee the insured Munis so that market will turn around? Especially since those bonds are probably safter than Treasuries...

      Tuesday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets
      Some of you are not wearing your thinking caps. Truly the Fed is flooding the market with paper. That is why the dollar will tank not the opposite. The only reason it is seeing temporary strength is the mass exodus of commercial paper and repatriation by scared homies that still believe that the US is the wealthiest nation and that stocks always go up. The markets are experiencing their balancing act between fear and greed. The problem is that the WTO aka Trilateral Commission won't let it work against the big boys. It's do as we say, not as we do. FAX and FXA look to be great buys here. I might just buy more.

      Time To Go Long, For A Short Time?
      You bull market geniuses need to study your history and learn. No matter what the salesmen tell you, stocks don't grow to the sky. It took 50 years for the Dow to recover from the Crash (after adjusting for inflation). It's precisely because of you'al that the bubble came about and is now in for a long term reckoning. We'll probably bring back the same regs that the robber baron republicans said we needed to do away with. There is nothing new under the sun.

      Say It Ain't So: Barclays to Allow Default of Lehman ETNs?
      Usually just reading and believing the disclosures is all anybody needs to do. Sadly, bull market geniuses trust themselves and the guys shoveling the sh*** as long as they're making money. When it hits the fan, they all say, nobody saw it coming. Hah. some of us did, but as usual the minority pays for the sins of the majority.

      Six Reasons to Like the Morgan Stanley Emerging Market Domestic Debt Fund
      The idea that FDIC is safe is a sad manifestation of our dwindling opportunities to save without loss of purchasing power, government fiat [the U.S. govt is the world's biggest debtor] and they have the greatest incentive to lower short rates, which usually impacts the dollar negatively. EDD is a good way to hedge such conflict and get a bounce on valuations for the foregoing reasons.

      Thursday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets
      I like Fry too. Most of us serious investors don't just want to hear Mad Max Cramer pontificate and then complain about investors after his perenial bull drivel falls far short of making money. If he was so good at hedging, why didn't he retire rich by now?

      Dividend Stocks: Watch Those Yields
      The only comment I have, which should be addressed, is the ease with which dividends can and are being cut when they become exagerated, e.g., 15% yield on Barclays can't last much longer.

      Is it Time to Back Up the Truck?
      I'm unsure of this back-up the truck metaphor? The author suggests it's time to bet the farm but, he admits only a technical short term signal. The average Joe would be confused. Likewise, the money is already on our boy with three Arabic names. They know that he could never beat the powers that be, that is why they got out the Reps to vote for him in the Dem Caucus in Iowa. John Edwards is the only one who could have done it. Nothing is left now but the crying. They even panned Hillary so no Rep women could vote for a woman. There is no way in this racist and reactionary country that a dark man with an Arab name is going to sit in the White house. The Supreme Court will surely find a way like they did in 2000. Look out for race riots in November. Stocks are the last place to park until the dust has settled.

      Made in Taiwan: 3 Funds for the Next Asian Market Bubble
      I just don't understand why Taiwan would encourage reunification, which is never addressed in the article. Since they did so well on their own, what's in it for them to become dominated by the mainland?

      ETF Update: Large Cap ETFs, Euro Inflation, ETFs Above 200-Day Average
      The author suggests (mistakenly) that bond yields should exceed 'equity' yields. However, his suggestion relies on recent history only. Prior to the last great bull market [beginning in 1981] yields on stocks were higher than bonds because they were not guaranteed and to attract investors to the higher risk of stocks. Perhaps investors are starting to realize that today, and therefore are demanding greater income from stocks because they have and will continue to dilute shareholder stakes by new issues and cut or eliminate dividends without warning.

      The Current Market Atmosphere: Easy Money Hard to Come by
      Good article because it exposes the symbiotic relationship between Wall Street and the Press. Next you should expose how they are both in bed with the Republican party which is running off with the profits they made on your dreams.

      Global Investing: Only 'Dead' for the Dumb Money
      I agree with your article whole heartedly. Forbes is nothing more than a commercial rag and cheerleader for the few American companies that still buy advertising. As for me, I bought gold stocks in 03 and sold in 07. Bought China and Pacific Tigers in O5 and sold in early 07. I'm happy with 100% returns and look to get back into Pacific slowly after the world readjusts to our profligate overspending and absurd cocky belief that our empire is anything more than a modern day paper tiger.

      The Hindenburg Omen: Crash Signal In Play
      It's remarkable to see the naysayers who rely on nothing but their own blind mantra that somehow stocks always go up. At least the doomsayers have some rationale for their hypothesis, though it may not be entirely scientific. Beware of those saying always and never for they will surely lose. In the long run, we are all dead.
