The longer you hang tough within the investments, the wiser you get as to which markets you can live with, and which ones you can’t. Grow up guys – investing is a tough, risky business (I hate stocks and investing anyway)- so you can find an immensely talented newsletter such as all three of the above mentioned, but the ultimate responsibility to remain exposed to the market remains yours. But my suggestion is that newsletter subscribers cannot relinquish all responsibility to the newsletter for their exposure to the markets. If you signed up with him just prior to that event you will have been severely traumatized. One caveat – Jim Dines is quite obviously, NOT a market timer, and on occasions like the recent huge bear market, this is a large black mark. I think very highly of both of these, and *also* of Jim Dines. I’ve also subscribed to Steve Sjuggerud’s True Wealth and for several years to the Aden’s newsletter out of Costa Rica, and BOTH of them are also class acts. The only times I ever made money on stocks in a decade are when I hung onto them through all the gyrations like a bulldog – and that was with Jim Dines’ portfolio. He’s the real deal – a very very canny and astute picker of investment themes – Personally I regard those newsletters which are most leery of market timing, to be the most serious and reputable. Won kudos from Euro Pacific for being “the top performing customer” in a three year time span – well the kudos go to James Dines, most certainly not to me. Long story short, I made 150% across the board in a portfolio of his stocks – and even then, I was my own worst enemy, buying and selling out and then back in to several of those positions along the way. He developed an entire theory of tech analysis back in the *1960’s* before most of today’s analysts were even a twinkle in their father’s eyes. And for that matter, he really and truly did “write the book” on a great deal of the technical analysis which is so commonplace today. James Dines has a fine nose for the red-hot sectors in the commodities markets. I cashed out my portfolio (100% Dines uranium juniors and mid-caps) from the start of 2007 through the summer of 2007 and went to all cash. I was also a client with the (much ballyhooed) Peter Schiff’s Euro Pacific Capital during that time. Is It Bear Stearns II, or Just a Bear Market? The Fed Is Watching.I subscribed to Dines’ letter from 2003 to 2007. Pacific West says it has ‘solid liquidity’ with $10.8 billion in available cash Friday What can we do?įirst Republic Bank gets downgrade to junk from Moody’s ‘My family is dealing with a significant shock’: My father secretly married his caregiver, who is 40 years his junior. I’ll be 60, have $95,000 in cash and no debts - I think I can retire, but financial seminars ‘say otherwise’

‘I was once an emotionally unkempt individual’: I’m 27, was raised in poverty, and work in a grocery store. Should I get a financial adviser to help me? I get $1,500 a month in rental income and have $200,000 in savings. ‘We need to stop this now.’ First Republic support is spreading financial contagion, says Ackman. Now I have enough saved to buy a business, but I need trustworthy advice. Recently, I’ve been ‘overemployed,’ working two jobs to rake in $300K a year. I’m 36 with $435,000 and want to retire early - ‘the earlier the better’ - but without a frugal lifestyle
