Earthquake Financial Apocalypse?

Friday's Japanese earthquakes, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown is obviously a financial apocalypse not only for Japan, but also the world.  $100 Billion+ in damages alone.  Then there is the human toll...not only are there  huge losses of life, but there is also the huge loss of "consumers" in Japan.  The economic impact will be here for years.  While stock markets around the world are down today, they seem to have taken the disaster fairly well.  Middle East violence appears to have a larger impact.

Jump Out of a Perfectly Good Airplane?

Many, if not most investors invest in strong companies that consistently show good management, make great products, and show a strong return on investment.  Why, on a day like today, would investors dump those stocks?  The entire world decides that everything is "scary" and stocks, commodities, gold, & oil are bad-bad.  It's seems as Mr Spock would put it, ILLOGICAL!

Liberal Media Destroys the World

Today, the BBC maliciously spread the rumour that Qadaffi was leaving...the said rumour killed the Stock Markets in their tracks...Oil, Gold, and Stocks have all fallen, even though said rumour was 100% false.  In addition the BBC Web Site had no links to such a rumour!

Folks, this is irresponsible, Liberal journalism at it's worst, in their lame attempts to be FIRST with the story!  Much the same as the media on all major networks reported Congresswoman Gifford dead in the Tucson shooting!

Gold and Silver Miscalculation!

OK, after pondering cash position, of 1/3 of Portfolio value as Cash...I increased stakes in Russian and North Sea oil based companies...however did not decrease holdings in Silver and Gold ETF's...bad idea!  Virtual Portfolio is down $500,000 today....Gold and Silver holdings down $5 M...tomorrow is another day!

Go to Cash!

Dumping shares of stocks by the hundreds of thousands...going to cash, Gold, & Silver!  Idiot, market manipulators will be taking profits on Wednesday 3-2-11...screw Qadaffi & Bernanke!

Thank God for Commodities!

Stocks falling, but commodities like Gold, silver, and Oil are surging to all time highs.  Many are predicting (me) $175 /barrel Oil and $1800 Gold.  When this all smacks the average person up the side of his head, it will already be too late!
