how long is your long term? like 4years later without looking?

let the world economics play out first, see if there's a recession

if you're looking for 3-4 months for your portfolio, basic utilties and consumer staples would probably outperform resource/commodity plays.

be patient with your shopping list.. .and have your shopping list flexible at all times

this is coming from a long term perspective investor - of course revenues & margins increase in times of rising commodity prices, but long term a mine's value is based on returns calculated using LT prices.

Also, copper prices, along with silver and gold, got killed because the CME hiked the margins

I'm sure prices will bounce back

that's counter intuitive

higher margin requirements required people to sell to meet the new, more strict margin requirements. if margin requirements had stayed the same, a simlar sell off would not have been forced

in the long run, i agree, it makes volitility decrease, but a large sell off as a result of increased margins is just that and nothing more

the margin requirement was put in weeks before and gold silver were still going up
u dont get margined called unless u acct loses value

the high requirement didnt cause the selloff or add to anything

You obviously don't get what's going on here

In order to keep your existing position, you must come up with more money to put into your account. Since many do not have that money, they need to sell, therefore causing the price to drop. This has already happened severals times in the past year with gold and silver.

no you are right. higher margin needed further caused the selloff

im just saying it wasnt THE cause of the reversal

sorry. (mobile typing)

Commodities just dropped so much and financials (ie bac) bounced 10%+ in 2 trading days...

Should i still be doing that? I guess the momentum could be considered shifted to the upside until it hits resistance...s&p500 @ 1210?

These bank stocks look so cheap...yet its just so hard to pull the trigger.

I wish I had added some more BNS to my long-term portfolio, when it was below 50, but I was afraid it could drop even more with the euro situation. For now, I'm sitting pat until there is more clarity on the euro situation
