While I am usually concerned about that kind of 'tone' when people talk about what will or will not happen in markets...it is always fun to watch and see if there is anything to what they say....it is just way too easy to talk about these things in retrospect - I always like to watch those that have the courage to predict them going forward.

I'm thinking that going long PMs and short the general SM is a good bet right now....what are your thoughts? A friend of mine is predicting sub 11K within 30 days on the Dow.....
Of course if they raise raes then PMs could fall...but I doubt it, I think that we see a key reversal mid-week....I see this morning as a gift.

In which sectors are you concentrated right now. I'd love to find a few good U.S. exporters right now...do you know any that are doing really well because of the lower dollar? Or some European importers listed in the U.S. or Canadian exchanges?

I expect a solid fall right across the board if this comes to pass...with the PM getting hit very hard and the SM as well.....we'll see if they do it...I expect no change but maybe stronger language against inflation....

Rare day that we see the PMs roaring and the general market falling hard...made good bank today.

Truth is that it is only semi-sweet...seeing as much of this money I had already gained not too long ago...before it was so violently removed from my accounts by a super-PM-bash. While it is nice to finally be returning it to its proper place (smile), it holds a bit less emotion then the first time around.

Kcowan, I hear you 100% with respect to Cramer...it is just that once in a while he gets away with things that border on criminal - he should have been fired after he told people to buy up Bear Stearns before they crashed.....

These days I'm kind of at a loss as to where to move investments in order to protect them from a major market meltdown - I just could never feel comfortable having it all in PMs....have a good chunk in the general markets out of US stuff and in what could be considered the more stable corners of the markets....that bit is up about 1/2 a percentage point on the year (better than down, right?). The whole thing looks shaky to me right now.....
