I only use polarizer filters which remove glare and reflections.

Same here. Shoot in RAW mode and take care of the rest later, instead of using a UV filter.

Backpacking through Europe was first time my using the polarizing filters. What a difference!

Inside the train going through the Swiss Alps, windows covered with reflections…but the polarizing filter knocks those reflections off the windows.

Later outside the train, shooting Swiss Alp peaks against a blue-sky spattered with puffy white clouds. The polarizer makes the clouds “pop out” from the blue sky. Really nice effect.

You know what AMAZES me? How many stupid Americans carrying around digital SLR costing over $1000 (just for the body)….yet watch them take five photos and realize they are CLUELESS on the very basics of photography. (They need to spend $100 on a photog class at their local community college instead of spening $1,000 for an SLR body)

A CLASSIC retard move I saw one thousand expensive-SLR carrying tourists make: position their family member before a backdrop of incredibly bright sunlit snow or clouds yet the subject has shadows on their face, then shoot without fill-flash. “Gosh Martha, why them faces all black in our photos? That snow look real good though.”

Very smart topic for a thread!

I saw a couple pro’s talking about this VERY TOPIC on bloomberg, late last week. And they seemed much smarter than the rest of the talking heads bloomberg usually parades through. And they only hinted at this market play when pushed and pushed at the end of the interview for WHAT they really are betting on. It was as if they didn’t want to give this strategy away.

To paraphrase,

“Well, the only bubble we see left is in US treasuries”

Yields are waay down on safety buying, yet this is a DOOMED currency. CONCLUSION: soon one can expect a major rate reversal as some stability in financial markets returns AND buyers realize they are holding trillions of US treasury notes denominated in a doomed currency!

Bond prices move opposite yields. Remember that my friends.

Now, help me out. Best way to take advantage of this reversal? I think we need to find a good short-term treasury fund to short.

Which one?

However, on this play, don’t forget to consider that really smart economists with good track records of predicting this overall financial mess (Roubini..etc) see this recession pulling CPI down to ZERO or even a couple percent BELOW zero, during the most intense quarters of deflation.

Dow can drop 3350 in one day if the decline happens before 2 pm Eastern.

Wrong. you misread the rules of the circuit breakers.

Speaking against platinum:
– coming global recession may reduce the industrial demand even further.
– currently, 60% of demand comes from autocatalysts that capture pollutants

That is exactly why I’m NOT buying any platinum, at least not until I think we’ve reached the darkest depths of this recession/depression. I figure the bottom is at least 9 months to 18 months away.

I agree that $950/ounce was bargain pricing, but it will go even lower. Just wait.
