Hi Murray,
I have the same problem. Just use the zoom tab or whatever it’s called at the bottom right of your screen.
Cheers,
David
Oh, and thank you all for the brilliant site.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I
think it’s time to buy guns, move out of the city and become more self sufficiant.
It’s time to back away from the government
because for Democrats,Republicans and independants, it’s all trial and error.
It’s time to let the posse rise.

Very informative site,thanks

but why do we never hear or see a different option… “get rid of the stock market!” Let us go back to responsible banking.

If you want to gamble go to a casino!

Dear Bill, Addison, Richard –

I was in cash for the past 4 years. Until early Feb.

Now
– 20% UGL(twice long gold)
– 20% AGQ (twice long silver)
– 20% TBT (twice short 20 year treas)
– 20% UCO (twice long crude)
– 20% Couple fun ones – Smaller Gold companies

What is your reaction?

I am interested in your thinking, not advice.

From you long suffering reader and dedicated student(8 years.) Once you must have been drunk and referred me to your writing staff as a possible talent, yet I am not a writer.

Best to you all and families – Thank for daily entertainment and learning.

I find it strange to read so many of the top financial gurus, stating that the present market crisis and the quickness and severity of same caught them off guard thus prompting severe losses to their investment funds.

Goodness, all they had to do was review the Daily Reckoning issues these past few years and pay heed to Bill Bonner and his host of marvellous contributors. They were forewarning for months.

No Brainer as far as I’m concerned. Yep, and I’m sure all DR appreciate readers would agree.

Merci Bill for your candid on-the-money thoughts from a thankful Canadian residing in a peaceful hamlet in Ontario.

Awesome site daily reckoning crew. Been reading here for over 10 months now, learnt heaps from Mr Bonner and the crew. Keep up the good work and get the Mogambo to admit deflation! There ain’t no inflation coming for years.

dunc is missing, or soon will be, his cake which Mr Market will have eaten.

If the bottom is 90% off the peak, then something like 1450 is the number. So gold may only reach 1450…..

And this would indicate an S&P of about 150. Ouch, that’s going to leave a mark.

dunc, you’re not missing anything.
The trend for earnings is down, meaning stock prices must fall further. It is blindingly obvious yet ‘experts’ like Siegel haven’t even noticed it. That guy and others like him should be drawn and quartered, if only for the sake of the naive investors who listen to their terrible advice.
