:) Keep in mind, my blog insights about markets are more about
/falsification/ and playing good defense than making market calls. My
blog posts aren't trade recommendations for you to make money. If I did
feel a need to do that, I'd probably join the club at StockTwits for
example.

With that in mind, I feel that the world is raising cash right now b/c
they are in great fear of the markets and the global banking system.
Trends in everything in the near-term might go out the window when a great many of market
participants offset their positions.

Lastly, I never have a position in anything I blog about so I will never
have any conflicts to disclose.

[...] If you are compelled to buy things that you know and love for whatever reason, you may be lucky and make money. But have an “uncle” point: a price where you’re out no matter what you think or read about the company. That’s in the best of times. You will really get hammered when all of your holding go south at the same time. In those times, cash is king. [...]
