Re: Financial topics

Hi John, I haven't posted here in the forum in a few years. Long ago I decided that I would not until I was ready to call THE TOP in this market. Here I am, calling the top.

Re: Message from Aedens

I've received the following e-mail message from long-time contributor Aedens: Is anyone else having this "Verisign logo" problem? I believe the Verisign logo issue has to do with e-commerce sites, but other than that, I have no idea what this is all about. John John, this may be an issue with the b...

Re: Financial topics

I do know one thing that hurts us, and that's reading people like John and Richard Russell every day. While everything they say is undoubtedly true and will happen, reading them every day makes the crash seem imminent, and lures us into shorts and puts that lose money.

Since I've become aware of the slide into depression starting in 2007 I have paid close attention to the ongoing argument between those who think that gold is the best hedge and those who think that holding cash makes more sense.
