Thursday cinema & library

Molokai Library

11:16 am (Hawaii) Should be an interesting roundup of vids and blogs today and tonight. Most of us have heard and read enough about today's blowout. I'm interested in hearing from people who have a strategy for tomorrow (jobs report) and next week.

Still exploring possibilities.

1. If USD rallies, PMs crap out. I'll hold my physical, but consider UUP for the ride up.

2. In that case, I will also have a position in ZSL (silver 3x bear) and/or DUST (gold miner bear).

3. If Euro zone goes austerity-happy (leading to more USD rally), banks will continue to tank and FAZ is a must.

In any upcoming trades, nimble feet and fingers are required. Just about everything is headline-driven. All dips in PM price will invite more metal buying. Stocks? Earnings reports are mostly done. AAPL, BIDU and other momos don't have catalysts in the near term. Tomorrow's jobs report, further economic news from Europe, major job cuts ... none of it is bullish. Top that with a dose of fear and we have a 500-point drop in the Dow with possibly more to come tomorrow. I just don't want to be in FAZ and ZSL when Bernanke sounds the horn for QE3.

Scaramucci: QE3 would be good for the market, bad for the dollar.

Update 4:00 pm (Hawaii) It seems more and more that the CME mafia does its darnedest to take silver and gold spot down as low as possible at the end of the US trading day, knowing full well that Asia and the Auzzies will bring it back up. They love a discounted price down under. No panic selling in the PMs out there: gold at 1649, silver at 39.25.

Update 6:53 pm (Hawaii) Any chatter about the US Dollar making a comeback reminds of President Obama's heavy investment in Treasuries (personal portfolio). I don't see any reasonable way the dollar could rally once Euro issues calm down. Maybe that's all it'll take for the dollar to rise and PMs to dive. Nah. But if it did, China, Brazil and a whole lot of people would ease up on buying gold. Just a thought.

Ain't it true?

What I had to do was to find stocks that would be hoisted up because they stirred people's imagination for the future. ... I was not interested in the company's individual products, whether it was metals for rockets, solid fuel, or advanced electronic equipment. In fact, I did not want to know what they made—that information might only inhibit me. I did not care what the company's products were, any more than I was influenced by the fact that the board chairman had a beautiful wife. But I did want to know whether the company belonged to a new vigorous infant industry and whether it be haved in the market according to my requirements.

This, of course, was directly against the advice of many financial writers with conservative backgrounds who have been pounding into investors for generations that they must study company reports and balance sheets, find out all they can about a stock's background, in order to make a wise investment. I decided that was not for me. All a company report and balance sheet can tell you is the past and the present. They cannot tell the future. And it was for this I had to project my plans.
