      Cramer's Stop Trading! It's a Horrible Market (11/18/08)
      Correct, sort of, but Jim has a Harvard Law degree and Rush flunked out of S.E. Missouri State College after his first year of “matriculation”!

      General Electric: Genuine Risk of Collapse?
      I am quoting a section of Dr. Leeb’s, Personal Finance Letter Update of 11/17/2008:

      “The first thing you should keep in mind is the adage that states one should buy at the point of maximum pessimism. Pessimism has certainly reached a ludicrous height today -- to the point where even positive events are being given a negative spin.

      For example, when corporate executives start buying shares in their own company, that generally bodes well for the stock prices. Who knows better if a company's earnings will improve than the CEO and others near the top? However, when General Electric's CEO, Jeffrey Immelt purchased his company's shares recently, the Bloomberg headline read, "Immelt's GE Purchases Signal Sell." The fact that insiders have stepped up their purchases of stock in the past four months is now being interpreted as a symptom of overconfidence and a reason for investors to ditch shares! As though panic-stricken outsiders suddenly know more about a company's long-term prospects than the ones running it!
      Besides, what is the point of reporting insider buying if it is not a buy signal? What would insider selling portend? I mean, if insider selling is a sell signal and insider buying is a sell signal, that means no signal at all. So the media may as well stop reporting insider trading altogether.

      We think pessimism this extreme should be taken as a sign that stocks have very little room left to fall.”

      I subscribe to two Leeb letters, have recently purchased GE, and intend on purchasing additional shares if/as share prices decline. Best of luck to all!

      I bought a GE Panoramic X-ray machine in 1979 and have never had the unit repaired or serviced. Yes, I retired last year and the machine continues to take wonderful x-rays!

      Four Commonsense Clues to a Genuine Market Bottom
      As the sage and gentlemanly investor Julius Westheimer stated to Louis Rukeyser when ask when was the proper time to buy stocks said, “Buy when you have the money Lou!” Attempting to update Julius’ advice, “Buy when you have the money and the likelihood of the market doubling exceeds the probability of a 50% decline.”

      Yes, it is possible for the market to decline 50% from today’s level but interestingly, I cannot find a Vegas or elsewhere book willing to take the bet! “You betcha!”

      Yes, GE has problems as does all other listed corporations and sovereign countries as well. Ergo, GE’s stock is selling for $16. Come on folks, Columbus took a chance!

      Why I'm Worried About China
      Nothing is less difficult than being pessimistic at or near any market’s bottom! Serially buy one of the closed end significantly discounted China play funds e.g., CHN and take a nap!

      Bottom line, worry less post secular market crashes and increase your ultimate profits! Your progeny will thank you.

      Investing in Clean Infrastructure Build-Out: Electricity Transmission and Distribution
      I look forward to Mr. Morand’s articles that are always stimulating and informative.

      A non-glamour and ever increasing pure play clean issue that will undoubtedly live long and prosper during the Barack era is GE. Obviously, the credit division is a detriment to the stock’s earnings but this problem to will pass!

      The Bubble Years and Beyond
      Agreed, how can any reasonable investor not appreciate Jim Grant. With this said, IMHO, all investors will remain lost in space unless they absorb, not read, Naomi Klein’s, “The Shock Doctrine - Disaster Capitalism”.

      If an investor does not appreciate “Shock” in context of the past 8-years geopolitical and resulting economic disaster, that investor is mandated to limit his/her exposure to a pass book savings account. Jim Grant understands the Milton Friedman Chicago School of Economics tragedy and the Neocon’s self-serving embrace of its horrifically flawed tenets. Naomi conveys this message seamlessly to the open minded masses without Wharton MBA degrees!

      If we are to survive the current debacle, the Jim Grants, Naomi Kleins, and a very few enlightened others must lead the way!

      Worst Two-Day Decline Since the '87 Crash
      "Problem will soon be solved, i.e. nothing left for these actors to tax or spend."

      Problem will soon be solved, i.e. nothing left for the good Republicans and their cronies to steal.

      There, I fixed your quote for you!

      The Shallowest Generation
      "Yeah that's why I am a registered Republican."

      Props to you on your party’s selection of Sarah Palin as a “legitimate” political figure. Please, bring her back in 2012.

      If possible read or alternatively have some read to you at the public library Naomi Klein’s, The Shock Doctrine - Disaster Capitalism !

      Safe Haven Investments: Imminent Danger and Opportunities
      Mark,

      Your comments on Noah’s Ark are noted. As a physics PhD candidate and an extraordinarily bright, insightful, and discerning individual what are your thoughts relating to the fact that 72% of Americans (not a typo) believe Noah’s Ark actually existed?

      Mark,

      Another brilliant piece and thank you!

      On another subject, pay a professional researcher to do the heavy lifting and write the thesis. You can do it!

      Some True Safe Havens Are Still (Surprisingly) Undervalued
      Thank you to Mr. Anthony for his response to my inquiry. Obviously, Mr. Anthony’s words and the failure for others to corroborate accusations made speak volumes.

      Mr. Anthony, you are an exceedingly bright and talented poster and your work is sincerely appreciated!
