#6269 RE: FinancialAdvisor #6265

Everyone rolls their own way I guess, but I disagree with part of your statement "...first off if you want to make money in this market, the typical financial advisor's who tell you to buy & hold aren't going to make the money.

I agree that you should never listen to a Financial Advisor, how ever one should heard what they have to say. Everyone has an agenda for making statements. But it is up to the individual to make their won assessment of the situation and not going in blindly. I disagree with your statement that Buy and Hold is not valid market. Buy and Hold would have made everyone some decent money on Commoditized equities and funds over the past 3 years. Your suggestion even flies in the face of your 2003 stock picks in alternative energies.

What I find objectionable is that Oil is nearing a top, it is as plain as day. It can even be witnessed in the equity markets which are heavily oversold, and the USD which is tightening its trading range with each of those days. The US Dollar should give back some profits over the next few days and give a rebound to the equities and give commodities a breather. But trend over the next 3-6 months show weaker commodities, weaker equities and a dollar building support.

What say you?
