Hyperinflation/Must Read, Bullion/Shorting Alternative?, Why I Write These E-mails

Hyperinflation - Must Read, Bullion/Shorting Alternative?, Why I Write These E-mails

Hyperinflation - Must Read

I strongly recommend you take the time to read 'Hyperinflation, Part II: What It Will Look Like' - reading time 10 minutes.  I commented on this article this morning as follows:

Mr. Lira, I have found your article extremely interesting, and excellent 'food for thought'. That said, I will greatly appreciate it if you take the time to reply to this comment. I am very interested in your views on how, if at all, you think the fact of the Chinese Government's holding of massive amounts of its wealth in U.S. Treasuries and other U.S. debt will influence the likelihood of hyperinflation occurring in the U.S. I am of a mind that the U.S. is caught between a 'rock and a hard place' because of possible consequences to China of U.S.$ being significantly discounted pursuant to the U.S. directly or indirectly discounting its currency in order to bring an element of balance back to its cumulative debt - and its continued reliance on China and other countries to purchase its treasuries on an ongoing basis.

You might want to address this comment by writing a further article. In any event, thank you for this one, and please respond to this comment. For you information, I think this article ought to be read by anybody who has an interest in equities - and today I am sending a link to this article (along with this comment) to the approximate 10,000 'e-mail opt-in' Subscribers to www.StockResearchPorta... - a website focused on Resource Stock Research.

Bullion/Shorting Alternative?

I added the following comment to a recent article written by Jeff Neilson titled 'Bullion as an Alternative to Shorting, Part II' - you can read 'Part I' by clicking here.  I am not suggesting buying physical gold is an alternative to shorting, but suggest you read the article - reading time 10 minutes:

Jeff, you may recall that I wrote a longer comment on your last article - the one before Part I of this series. Once again, I think you have written in both Parts I and II of this series articles that provide readers with excellent 'food for thought' - which is the best thing from my perspective an author can do. I strongly believe we live in a world where the people that will do best are those that carefully read and digest the best data and commentary available to them, 'think for themselves', 'reach their own conclusions', and then act on their own conclusions in the context of their investments. I also think, of course, this same 'think for yourself' concept works in all of one's 'life activities'.

Good work, I too look forward to reading Part III, and will be again referencing this series of articles in an e-mail to www.StockResearchPorta... subscribers later this week.

One anonymous poster commented on my comment saying:  Ian, I think you are referring to Due Diligence.

I replied as follows:  While 'Due Diligence' is what one does, thinking about what they learn from their 'due diligence' and the conclusions they draw are to me quite different things.  Obviously, the better the depth of 'due diligence' done, generally the better the conclusions one reaches ought to be.

Why I Write These E-mails

My principal purpose in writing these e-mails - aside from the fact I learn a great deal by putting my thoughts in writing and this is a vehicle to do that - is to continually stress to those who have Subscribed to StockResearchPortal.com how important I think it is in the coming months and years to become 'ever more self-reliant' in the context of one's own investments.  I am receiving an increasing number of positive and constructive comments from readers of these e-mails - and I do hope readers generally find them both useful and thought provoking.

LinkedIn Mining/Oil & Gas Groups - Today's Featured StockResearchPortal.com Data Component

Each day at the bottom of my e-mails there are links to two LinkedIn Groups - a 'Mining Stocks Group' and an 'Oil & Gas Stocks Group'.  In the past six months about 250 and 125 LinkedIn members have joined the Mining Stocks and Oil & Gas Groups respectively.  A number of Group members have started Discussions and contributed to the Discussions started by others.  I recently turned over the management and administration of these two Groups to John Wood, a self-employed Investment Advisor and friend who spends a lot of time thinking about macro-economic issues and his client's investments.  I expect John's involvement to result in even more Discussion.  If you are a LinkedIn member, and an equity investor or trader in Mining or Oil & Gas stocks I suggest you visit those two Groups, review their activity, and then join them if you think one or both may prove helpful to you.  I invite you to click on one or both links and review and/or join one or both of these Groups.
