Get in The Game

[ibjames]

[quote=sdduuuude]”Get in the Game” is exactly the opposite of my strategy.

My strategy is to stay employed, keep earning cash, and stay the hell out of the stock market. Of course, I’m not a trader and don’t want to be, so if you fancy yourself a trader – dive in.

As I tell my friends, my trading strategy is “Do Nothing.”

[quote=JWM in SD]I am still skeptical about the Fed’s ability to reflate without losing control of money supply. that is the real risk in their attempt to reflate. [/quote]

That and the potential of hyper-inflation. Everyone is now crying DEflation! DEflation!, but other than commodity prices, which so far have only resulted in lower gasoline prices, I’m not seeing it.

I went to In-N-Out the other day and their prices went up at least the 2nd time in the last 12 mos.

At a local driving range balls went up 20-30% a bucket. Groceries have not dropped, and though I haven’t researched them all very closely electronics, clothing, and consumables don’t appear to have budged either.

Sure GM is giving away cars, but that’s because those companies were run into the ground. Toyota and Honda prices aren’t plummetting, are they?

Gas at half price may be skewing the delfation readings if you ask me. But then again, no one asked me…

OK. I’m Old. I had to look up DAWT and I still can’t find it.

The govt hasn’t fooled me, but they may have fooled themselves into thinking this will be an easy re-inflation.

I find myself falling further and further into the near-term deflation camp, though I admit in the long-term when deflation turns to inflation, it may swing quickly as the Fed loses control.

For now and several years, I’m not concerned about my dollars. I have more faith in Mish than anyone. His market calls this year have been quite incredible. I can’t say the same for you, stockstrader, although I do appreciate your posts. When he calls the end of deflation, I’ll pay attention.

I have roughly 20% in gold ETF, 20% in a fund (see below) and the rest dollars. As far as Euros vs. Dollars – they are both going to be printed heavily so I’m not convinced the dollar won’t be fine with respect to other world currencies. That is to say – if the American gov has fooled me, the European union has fooled you.

I own some Quadriga Superfund right now. Have had it for years and it does very well, behaving like a true hedge fund – quite uncorrelated to the market. I may buy more of that.
