Back in Black
Just as planned, I refunded my margin account. Just in time for the final 8.33333333% of the year that is December. The month is starting well for LDK which gyrated upwards of 28% today and on no news at all. Shorts are running for cover right now as they know news is immanent. I still say LDK has a bright future. Another shining example of richness is GOLD, which just bounced powerfully off its 50 day moving average, and looks headed toward an all time high. I’m in. The last time this gold market flirted with new highs, well, I was a very young man. I wouldn’t miss this run for anything. Maybe a more leveraged play is required here. I’ll have to tell you after the fact.
The only new symbol I’ve added lately is Japan Smaller Cap Fund (Symbol: JOF) which is supposed to be bottoming. Yes, I’ve heard that before too.
It’s a small position, and slightly red still to the tune of 2%. The story is that Japan is beginning to improve so, get there early, take a position and have some patience. It sounds so Warren Buffett, but it’s probably not. The chart looks good though.
I heard Jim Rogers said China is just starting. Their markets look like they’re ready for another run higher and the ADR’s even more. The same list is still good. I’m long um all. Except I sold STP – just took profits – all 78% - yummy!

Gregg,
When is the current pain and suffering on Wall Street going to end?
Hi John,
I don't know and don't think anybody really does. Thats why I've taken most of my accounts to cash or gold. What few non-gold related stock shares I do have seem to get hammered daily. Just proves you shouldn't listen to Barron's when they say a stock has nowhere to go but up, which is what they said about ABH before it fell 78% to where it is now. I've been having a total blast with trading futures. Since Nov. 29th, 2007, my futures account is up 203%, and that doesn't include taking 20% off the table a few weeks ago. There is always something going up, even if its not stocks.
