On or OF

The simple question investors are asking themselves: a) What will the return ON my investment be? or, b) When will the return OF my investment be?

Where is the next ponzi scheme going to be discovered? What is the safest investment? The Government and its fear mongering is suggesting they are the best allocators of our capital. History might suggest other wise. Since when do 100 US Senators become portfolio managers and asset allocators to get the highest return ON investment? A majority of these people have poor personal records... how can they now be experts in multi-trillion dollar asset allocations?

Both the USA and China have begun to fill their strategic petroleum reserves.....a smart step as the world is perceived to be flooded in oil...of course everyone focuses on the spot price and forward delivery prices are much higher.....

Merger and acquisition activity should begin to pick up soon.....on the first hint of any "recovery" rest assured the healthy companies are putting their shopping list together....the question is do you buy in liquidation or pre? Or friendly verses hostile?

The big what if? Who and how will all this current debt get refinanced? The clue will be the trends emerging in lenders now renegotiating terms and conditions., the easing of covenants to allow more time hoping for the thaw.

As bad as things appear to be especially as presented by the media and our President elect....of the 1000 stocks we follow on a daily basis, not one experienced a new low today.

Danny Boy seen here looks a bit like a Polar Bear in winter light...as the days are now longer the temperatures are not....below zero forecast next ten days!
