    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Many of you older forum members will remember my earlier attempt at development of an online property. I think I learned some things from that failure and am now in the process of attempting to create something online again. (someday if I get time I can detail where my mistakes were) This...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Don't know if this violates the decorum of the forum (and if so, please delete). However, I have been active on Hubpages for the last 6 weeks writing articles and observing the internet mantra of "Content is King". It has been an incredible learning experience, and I have even earned a few...

    For all you pessimistic investors out there

    Criss Angel

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I'm here in Las Vegas with my son who is competing in a gymnastics competition tomorrow. We went to a magic show and saw Criss Angel in the audience. Took a picture of him with my son. Too cool. Plus it was 70 and sunny. I was in a short sleeve shirt. Left Indy this morning at 5 below...

    Gold-Oil Ratio

    INVESTING 
    I found this link: Kitco - Commentaries - John Lee, CFA Note especially the chart on the gold-oil ratio. I agree that it might be wise to start going long oil. I am looking at the integrated oil companies and am likely to begin taking a position that exposes me to oil soon (as in January)...

    Something to think about...

    INVESTING 
    Total market cap for the S & P 500 is approximately 8.3 trillion which represents about 70-75% of NYSE market cap. Total foreign currency reserves of China is just over 1.9 trillion. To think that China could purchase almost 17% of NYSE companies is mind boggling. Not that Congress would...

    Trouble getting physical gold and silver?

    INVESTING 
    I have not tried to purchase physical gold and silver for a few years now, but looking at the metals dealers online, eg Apmex.com and Kitco.com, I am noticing a paucity of inventory for sale. American silver eagles seem almost nowhere to be found. Is anybody else noticing this or have any...

    Question for MJ, Tom, or others with experience

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I have an idea for a forum like this (but totally unrelated topic). My questions are: How much did it cost to get up and running? As you may know, I recently started a blog and haven't spent anything yet but time. I don't want to put a lot of money into it but plan to use blogging revenues...
