Investing and Trading News, with a Contrarian, Sarcastic Twist!
Here’s a great case study. Woke up this morning, pleasantly surprised to see coffee up 3 cents from my entry point. And then, before I could put down my morning cup of coffee – prices rolled over. Guess I didn’t put it down fast enough: Better get my ass down to Starbucks!
Last I checked, the futures markets were giving OBAMA! a 59% chance to winning the election – lower than I would guess, so I suppose you could say I would go “long Obama” if I had to make a trade. Thus I have internally accepted the fact that we must prepare to deal with the […]
Note: This article has been published by Seeking Alpha. Coffee futures are not my favorite to trade. They’re so volatile that it’s tough to distinguish a true breakout from noise.

First, let’s discuss all of the fundamentals that […]
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, relief at last – that’s me, pissing away the last of my 2008 gains. Glad we got that out of the way. Tuesday I was feeling really smart, and bought a mini-silver contract at the bargain price of $15. Unfortunately nobody told me that the bargains were going to get even better! I sold […]
A very well written piece by Ted Butler regarding the recent demolition of silver. Ted make a very compelling case that the margin of safety at current prices is significant, as he believes the current price is below the cost of production. I’m very tempted to buy now, but I hate the thought of buying […]
