Selling climax on Oct 10 2008 but Jim not buying to US except for agriculture stocks.
Covered shorts and buy agriculture last week.
Lots of people email Jim telling him that this is the bottom. But it will not be the bottom
until everybody telling him that there will never be the bottom.
During this panick, when everybody just sell everything away, it is better to buy things that
the fundemantal is unimpaired. And now the only thing that is unimpaired is commodities.
Jim will buy the commodities index but facus more on agriculture as demand will slow for base
metals and energy.
The reason the stocks are falling when the Treasury pump money into the system it's
because nobody believe that what the Treasury is doing is good. It is inflationary and
create problems in the long run.
Jim still has USD and plan to sell as the gigantic USD short position are being liquidated.
