TGIF and a move

It's Friday, I have a lot of snow shoveling to do this morning and no good ideas for a one day post. I have a series bouncing around my "little grey cells", but it's not ready this morning.

Krypto's model finally gave a stronger buy signal for gold & silver. I will be buying some GLD and SLV in a 2:1 ratio this AM.

The municipal bond buy program is over. Upon a decent sized move up in stocks, I will be selling those higher and buying more municipal bonds provided their yields remain over 5% for the good quality bonds I like.

That's all for now.

Word of the Day

"Camarilla" - noun [$10]
Camarilla means a cabal or clique
Sentence: DC has devolved into competing camarillas, each fighting for time at the hog trough. We need some leaders to engage the American public to develop a national consensus on America's long term problems.

A huge trade by a tiny hedge fund has sent shudders through the gold market.

Thanks to the nature of futures trading, Daniel Shak's $10 million hedge fund held gold contracts valued at more than $850 million, more than 10% of the main U.S. futures market, and the equivalent of South Africa's annual gold production.

Hedge-fund manager John Paulson personally netted more than $5 billion in profits in 2010—likely the largest one-year haul in investing history, trumping the nearly $4 billion he made with his "short" bets against subprime mortgages in 2007.

Yes, he did a lousy job this last storm ... I am a bit pissed. And I think I should ask for them to do this extra work. I'm exhausted.

re Cairo, yes ... troubling being on the side of a dictator.

Also, my partner is in Egypt now on a tour ... I'm a bit worried.
