A Little Linking Going On

Here is a sampling of blog posts I read this weekend which I feel you may benefit from as well:

From The Smart Money Tracker: Inflation… Is There, or Isn’t There?

“Inflation is simply too much money. When governments try to get something for nothing by printing paper currency it eventually flows into hard assets. Populations will eventually figure out that their money is decreasing in value”

Also, “Looking for the Next Sector”

“We had a semi panic day on Tuesday but the Fed jumped in and saved the day. Actually they just made it worse. They are now guaranteeing that inflation is going to be spiking at the same time we are heading into an economic recession.”

“This bull [in gold and commodities] will end up going much farther than almost anyone can imagine …”

From Dr. Steenbarger at TraderFeed:

From Trader to Hedge Fund addresses many points traders consider including how to make the transition.

A Cardinal Trading Virtue seeks to establish why facing reality and reasoning are essential virtues for traders.

The Most Important Reason why Individuals Traders Lose Money: If you have yet to read this post, please do so now.

From Adam Warner of Daily Options Report:

A humorous yet informative post entitled VIX 37, Giants 31, Patriots 20 where Adam discusses why the VIX is not the sole source of addressing market volatility.

The VIX is just a volatility statistic made simple for everyone to see on their screen. It’s just a snapshot of the volatility of one index. It is not even the only way to measure volatility on that time frame, even on that same exact index.

Two from Chris Perunna:

A helpful post entitled Inverse ETFs paying off, where Chris describes and lists the major inverse index ETFs.

A brief resource entitled Setups for Selling Stocks Short, which you may find useful in the current environment.

The Tyro Trader:

Tyro posts a most excellent rundown of stocks divided by sector and shows many charts in his simply titled “Weekend Review

Vix and More:

Bill sees a possible bottom developing in the NASDAQ chart in his post “The Game is Afoot.

He also posts a very detailed recent chart of the VIX in Brunhilde Day Today? in which he asks “Has the fat lady already sang for the market?”

Ben at the Financial Ninja posted a very detailed commentary and fact sheet on President Bush’s (and Congress’) economic stimulus package.

Be sure to check out Ben’s comments at the end where he shares his thoughts on what the new package might mean for the markets and the economy.

Bottom Line: The average Joe six pack is a baby boomer quickly running out of time.
