      Jim Rogers on Today's Market
      I'm sorry, but these views of Rogers have been spread around for some time. This is no longer timely info. I don't know how many times they can be published so someone has a byline. Let's get current.

      There's Nothing to Fear But Fearmongers Themselves
      I think the causes of the recession/depression are real enough. They are much too real for us to have been talked into it. On the other hand, I am selectively buying as this decline is happening. I don't think the world is ending soon. Patience is a virtue.

      Surprising Call for Return to the Gold Standard
      The author has slapped a hornets' nest. Good Job! Much too much common sense offered for any politician to listen to. The only leader who can successfully navigate the next few years is one who can walk on water. Mr. Obama is about to get his feet (and more) wet. The question is, what will he do to us?

      7 Key Points About Deflation
      Thanks for much good food for thought. The future we are now beginning to enter requires a completely different investment approach than the past 70 years. The Brave New World is here; keep your wits about you.

      What Will the Baby Boomer Bust Mean for Equities?
      I would refer interested readers to the books of Harry Dent. He has done much analysis on the changing tides as Boomers retire. He is also calling for a major Depression to begin in late '09 or early '10. Time will tell.

      A No-Confidence Vote Among Financial Stocks
      The overall market can't go anywhere without the financials. We have a long way to go to see any real life in this market. Right now, we don't even know how sick we are.

      The Humility of Realism
      I am sorry to see David single out the Boomers with the quip that they "do not like hard things." Boomers have lived through more difficult and troubling times than the younger generations. I am afraid it is the post-Boomers who do not like hard things, and therefore try to blame the Boomers for all ills. Such generalities are in error, show prejudice, and detract from an author I usually admire. Let's just march the Boomers out and put them in concentration camps. That will solve everything, David.

      Interview with GreenHunter Energy
      Can anyone shed any light on why ICENX, an energy mutual fund, lost $8 in price yesterday? I am floored that a fund could lose that much in one day. I would appreciate any insight.

      I have shares of ICENX, an energy mutual fund. The price dropped by over $8 yesteday. Can anyone shed any light on why such a huge drop in a fund? Thanks for any help.

      Why I Sold My China Positions
      I am going to stick with my China mutual fund. I am investing for 10 years out, and if any country can get its economy going in that time period, I think China can--I hope, anyway.

      Starbucks Will Restructure and Rise Once Again
      I think you are overly optimistic. The very points you discuss make your conclusion less likely. Unless they find a way to sell their coffee for $2 instead of $4 and make more profit than they did at $4 AND get more traffic in their shops, they will not rise from the ashes. People are breaking the habit of SBUX. There is no growth in sight.

      Portfolio Expectations: What a Difference a Year Makes
      Interesting piece. I think most of us have to lower expectations when it comes to annualized return. I know I have, and I am increasing my safety requirement (if there is such a thing as "safety" in this investment climate). I know many investors just dismiss bonds as a terrible investment, but if stocks are likely to be flat for who knows how long, bond yields and relative safety seem like a good place to be.

      In the Face of Mounting Pain, Avoid Extremes
      An attempt to pick the bottom is foolish. It sounds good; it is just near impossible to do. Some exposure to stocks needs to be maintained and increased over time.

      What We Don't Know about the Markets
      I agree with you, JasonC. By "who wants to," I am suggesting it is hard for many people to buy now, but that doesn't mean it is wrong. I certainly hope not, anyway, because I put more money into stock funds yesterday.

      Shorting the Long Bond: The Obama Solution Meets China
      Thanks for a great insight. I think your reasoning, however, applies no matter who the next president is. I think we have passed the crest of reason and are on the sleigh ride of our lives until we wreck at the bottom.
