I don't believe much with these so called financial advisors and analysts....I have predicted (middle of 2007) that the stock market is about to crash so I sold all of my portfolio late of 2007 but GWB and company were insisting that the economic fundamentals remains strong...so I bought back 10% after the bailouts of Bear Sterns and Mortgage companies (Freddie and Fannie)...Too bad I didn't stick with my hunch...Anyway here is my prediction for 2009...the market will rally but still the Dow will bottom out at 7,500.. then I will start buying stocks...with all the companies announcing lay-offs the worse is yet to come...best bet wait late of 2009 or early 2010 for a solid turnaround.

The pessimism of the main stream media is one of the principal reasons for the decline over the past year. I have choosen to ignore them and use good research to guide my investments, and will continue to do so.

Hey,
Who cares, and who would trust a financial advisor; people who usually promote specific stocks from which they receive higher commissions from their companies when sold to clients. They're college grads, like you and I, if you can read, you can do the research, and crunch the numbers as good as, if not better than your broker.

do these analyst have their money invested in the companies recommended? I bet you not!

Guldbugger said...
The only mining company in the list is Teck-Cominco, a good buy today at under $5.00 but better still was the buy at under $3.00 back in early December when the guldbugger was bottom fishing. Since October the best buys have been gold stocks, several of which have doubled in price in less than 2 months. Its a bit surprising that none of them appear in the recommended list, which may be saying something about the recommenders.

Such cynicism! Don't cry about brokers who are will to stick their necks out or what won't work or how smart you were in predicting the market. Tell me something positive. Nobody is smart enough or sophisticated enough to find opportunity in this market?? If you are convinced that the there is more downside, put your money in psq, qid, bgz, tza, ery, faz ...

Never believe these so called financial advisors. They are not able to foresee the value of the stocks.They are living by selling their advice for which they are never responsible.

do the math, the average american does not have the disposable income and we have been living on a false enconomy for years with borrowing out of control.now the average american can not borrow anymore as they have over leveraged what they had in order to maintain a certain standard of living and most of the lenders have turned off the faucett. there is no where to go for the average consumer but stay home without credit nowadays.

President Bush, Clinton, Federal reserve and the Secretary of the Treasurer were all behind this scheme to slow the economy down, it was growing too fast!! Why did they not release over 4 years of surplus oil in the reserve but kept buying more at outrages prices. Vice president Chaney & Richardson, Energy Secretary[a joke] he knew what was gong on but did not act, why should they were all in on it including Wall Street Short Sellers, and the Rotten Media, didn't go after the scum bags but Senator Ron Paul and Representative Kus--from Clevland,Ohio Not Congress per say!!! There is no recession they made it!!!! It could go back tomorrow! the way it was if the people rallied!!! and got rid of these people that caused this problem!!! This oil problem openned up our eyes now is the time to clean house!!! Can we do it__yes but we have to act now!!!!!

WONDER WHY I COULDN'T GET THIS ON THE FUEL TAX SITE..... If you look around Europe you will find that gas tax is around $6/gallon. Making it about $8 total, depending on the cost of crude! GUESS WHAT, THEY USE A LOT LESS GAS....WHETHER WE WANT TO BELIEVE IT OR NOT THE WORLD IS RUNNING OUT OF CRUDE OIL, AND WILL BE FACED WITH THESE COSTS, AND HIGHER, WITHIN THE NEXT 20 YEARS....High fuel costs also spur development of alternatives, which takes many years, but the way we are going there will be no time...HOPE YOU WILL BE HAPPY TO WAIT IN LINE HOURS, OR DAYS, TO PUT A FEW GALLONS IN YOUR TANK.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I can assure you that I have a considerable amount of money invested in both stocks listed by nextinning.com (EZCH and HLIT).

Paul, Thanks for sharing your picks and setting the record straight that you put your money where your mouth is. I've been a happy nextinning.com for nearly a year now - it looks like HLIT is off to a blazing start. EZCH may have lagged day one, but it's nearly tripled since you suggested buying it only a couple months ago!!!

If Qtrax (BLLN) closes the deal with their final major label, Warner Music Group, they might draw more attention than Apple in '09. It's been very quiet in the media about Qtrax since their original launch in Jan of 08, but when they launched, they were second or third on number of hits in 24 hours, only to Facebook and maybe one other site. They have 3 Majors offering free downloads and might have the 4th in a short time! Watch out for it!

I don't think too many people get it! ! !
Congress was warned by Clinton, and
Bush warned them twice about Fannie Mae
& Freddie Mac, and that they should look
into them as to regulation. Your friends
Barney Frank, of the House, and Chris
Dodd of the Senate, are responsible for
this neglect and downfall of our economy.
When are we going to get rid of these
people? ? ? WISE UP ! ! ! ! !
