        Bear fund manager predicts Dow will fall "at least 50% ... I think this
        is a topping pattern.  We think it's probably three to six months away"
        Fund hoards gold and shorts the market, has miniscule 0.55% and 0.60%
        1-yr and 3-yr annualized returns.
        \_ Uh, if he is right, what should we do? CDs? MM? ING/X Direct?
           \_ You should diversify regardless of his predictions.
              Put some in bonds, CDs, index funds, metals, energy, real estate,
              and dot coms. I'd bet energy would be a big gain in the next few
              decades or so.
           \_ Buy his fund, of course!  Aside from that, can you get Euro
              CDs?  If the dollar tanks US CDs might not be a good idea.
        \_ Quick!  Short GOOG NOW!

        Only 28% of millionaires consider themselves wealthy. So it is
        not just my wife!
        \_ People have been using the term "millionaire" as a synonym for
           "rich" for a very long time.  But there's this little thing called
           inflation.  Having a million dollars in 1900 is roughly equivalent

7[31    Suppose you have a few hundred thousand dollars in the bank earning
        minimum interest rate and you're not sure whether you're going to
        buy a house in 1-5 years. Should one put that money in a more
        risky place like Vanguard ETFs and index funds, given that the
        horizon is only 1-5 years?

        lost  $1000 in Feb 2012, does that mean I'm not liable to pay
        any tax given that I made $0?
        \_ Yes.

1/25    Is there a site that tells you the % of people shorting
        on a particular stock? I'm trying to see if I can gauge
        "confidence level", that sort of thing.

1/16    Fred Wilson says you should focus on the cash value of your

        \_ Or at least, so says a VC trying increase his profit margin...
        \_ A VC wants to keep as much of the stock for themselves (and give
           as little to employees as possible).  That maximizes their return.

Feuerstein's Biotech-Stock Mailbag Trading Center Global warming must be affecting the stock market as well. Bears of any kind are being wiped out left and right, and they're nearly extinct. Prudent Bear (BEARX) -- which, if my schoolboy Latin is correct, might also be known as Ursa Prudens. It's been more than 10 years since Dallas-based investment manager David Tice launched this mutual fund to hoard gold, short the market and prepare ordinary investors for the coming economic Armageddon. Does the market's seemingly inexorable rise shake his conviction that it's going to collapse? The Dow, he predicts, will fall "at least 50%" from these levels, and he says the market is only months away from beginning a sharp decline. "We think it's probably three to six months away from a significant decline." At the tail end of credit excess it just gets crazier and crazier. It sucks people in, and it's an extremely dangerous scenario." The Bear Is Only Resting 3/12/2007 8:15 AM EDT Don't mistake recent stock strength for the bears' permanent hibernation.
