18 months in cash? Is EJ talking about getting into alt energy at that time or more generally the stock market (which he expects to go down big time by end March)? If the DJIA does go down 1000 points, wouldn't that be a good time to take some positions in commodities for example (assuming they tank as well)?

FRED, great that you finally got that mother up and running. I believe, if it is possible, it sure would be nice that the superimposed comments moved up on the video at about the same rate Eric is speaking with remnants of his slow Texas drawl, y'all.

Great job, Eric. One thing you aren't generally going to hear is fund managers saying anything to do with putting OPM's in cash. I don't watch any business TV, but I bet it is rare to hear such an absolute divergence in opinion with regard to what to do now.

Hey, Eric, were you hesitant to bring up PMs? Actually it could be really poor form right now to be encouraging anyone with new money to jump into PM's. So in my opinion you were very fair not to have brought up anything about PM's.

I figured it a few minutes ago. $Silver since Dec 17, 2007 to yesterday's intraday high is up 50.94%. $Plat since Nov. 12, 2007 through today's intraday high is up 64.68%.

FRED, you really should show down the comments in the screen crawl on this video.

I played this video again just now. Jack Robinson is the guy opposite Eric and Robinson runs the Winslow Green Solutions Fund.

Listen to Eric say "difficult times" ahead for next 18 months or longer and he'd have his mother in CASH, then listen to Robinson give his spiel of 80:20 or 20:80 nonsense comparing now in "green energy" to the internet bubble, then finally look at the chart of Robinson's recently opened mutual fund. Link is below.

FRED, exactly when was Eric's article here on going short the market? It strikes me it was around the 27th of December. Note Robinson's Fund's price action. It so far topped out I believe simultaneously with Eric's article here.

It may be too much to extrapolate that whatever comprises Robinson's fund is going to move on average just as the general equities market may move over the coming months, but so far the chart of the fund compares nicely with what the equity indices have been doing, i.e. heading south.

To my awareness he hasn't been on Bloomberg yet, which is apparently more credible, and Bloomberg tolerate Faber's comparatively knife-like comments about the US and HOW screwed up it is.
