The Market  with all its mortgage and  energy concerns is really tough to figure .

 Yes it is, my portfolio is mainly gold, everything else seems to be going down. However yesterday was a good day for most stocks

Gold and other commodities are looking good.  I have been researching stocks that benefit the most from these commodities, most of them are penny stocks however.

You're right, it seems as though there is nothing good happening in the USA lately...it's like we're under a cloud, depressing.

It would be nice if something really POSITIVE happened, like;

"the mother load of oil found in US, America no longer needs Iraqi oil"   

STOP LAUGHING AT ME, a girl can dream can't she!

not to bad. for a quick trun,try scu. this a.m.

MARVLUS, I love the way you think lol, Stephen King had nothing on you.

MARVLUS:

"the mother load of oil found in US..." 

 It's called ANWR and no we can't drill there unfortunately

Yeh, unfortunatley 

Yeh, unfortunatley 

Markets are always tough.....in good times or in bad times.

the only way the Big Boys take our money is to bewilder as many of us as they can

 I am waiting for S&P 1450 or near there to start shorts....and as the market rallies, I am looking to get back into silver and gold

MY OWN PORT. CONTAINS OIL, OIL MAINTENANCE PLAY,SOLAR,STEEL,AGRICULTURE,HEALTHCARE AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND IT SEEMS TO BE GROWING NICELY.    I THINK A GOOD MIX IN THE BEST SECTORS WITH ADJUSTING FOR CHASNGE HELPS KEEP ME POSITIVE.

There's nothing wrong with dreaming. A lot of positives come that way. I think the key is always too REMAIN POSITIVE !!!!!

Good things always come to those who wait. Anyhow, it works for me.  GOOD LUCK !
