Insider trading is reserved for the ruling class as it has been since
the days of Joseph Kennedy. The broker makes his commission no matter
which way your investments slide. Uncle Al has never met a stock
broker who invested in stocks.

Well that's a load of twaddle. Even brokers have pensions.

I don't invest in stocks either, but the mathematics has resulted in
some important statistical and probabilistic discoveries. Criminology
also yields knowledge usable in other places. Should we stop studying
atomic explosion physics because Iran may develop nuclear weapons?

The status quo is maintained by politics, not economics. PE ratios are
meaningless re GOOG. If you wanted my advice I would say to you that
you would not want to be in the stock market (except maybe gold) at
this point in time as catastrophic correction is imminent. Why? Well
fundamentally, the current account deficit is *NOT* factored into the
market. Just look at the share turn over - almost all of them every
month. A cursory glance at gold which has historically served as an
insurance policy for the ruling class and as a fear index trivially
reveals this. It'll all go down with Oil, which is extremely volatile
right now. When OPEC announces oil trades in Euro's, that's the end.

And it would be a piss poor investment since the average price of gold
shows a general downward trend since the late 70's.
An ordinary passbook savings account would be a better investment many
times over.

The hidden variables of economics is politics. Things beneficial to
western oligarchs happened during those times. Had you been on the
other side, Gold investments would've withstood massive inflation and
comprehensive economic collapse. You're on that side now.

It's not quite that simple.

Bunch of babble.
The price of gold was flat for almost 200 years.
The price started to rise in the early 70's, spiked in the late 70's,
and has been generally downward ever since.
Anyone who bought gold as a long term investment after about 1976 has
lost money.
If you wanted to make money on metals in this century, thallium or
rubidium would have been the smart buy; even copper would have been
better than gold.

Sure it is, but not to those that believe there is some magic to gold.

Paper money was denominated in gold back then.

I'm not speaking within the strict context of the US economy. For
example, were you an Argentinian Gold investor just 5 years ago, your
holdings wouldn't have suffered massive inflation or been subject to
liquidation restrictions from American banks. In fact, an Argentinian
gold investor would've become exponentially wealthier since his
liquidation value relative to the remainder of the populace would have
higher disparity.

Gold is not about making money, it's about maintaing money's value.

Then it is a big loser in modern times.
The old adage was that an ounce of gold will buy a really good man's
suit.
This was in fact true from the time of Shakespeare up until the 1980's.
Today, a really good man's suit can easily cost 4 ounces of gold.
So much for maintaing value.

Insider trading is illegal, and can get you years in jail if caught.
Even people who donate large sums of money to politicians can end up
in jail.
It is unfortunate, since, if allowed, insider trading would be a clear
signal of the fiscal health of a company.

Look at Warren Buffett's shareholder's newsletter. Doesn't he do
fundamental analysis also, and
very successfully I might add.

If it's politics, why doesn't Bush just MANDATE by law that stock
prices can only go up? Make
it illegal to sell at anything but the same or a higher price! Then
stock market will go up up up,
contrary to the paper in question.

After you go look up the historical prices of those stocks and the
dividends they have returned, you may come back and humbly apologize
for that comment.

I came home one day years ago and my young wife said--"Honey, I've been
watching the Phil Donahue show and he has convinced me 'now' is the
time to buy gold--let's buy some." "No" I said--"please, please" she
said. So we bought a ton--it was one of my greatest investments ever!
Never made a penny, mind you, but after about a year of watching her
golds value drop, my beautiful wife saw the light, became a
compassionate conservative, and never watched that jackass Phil Donahue
again.

A wise choice at least during this War. However, I hope that the next
President will have more Creative Genius in the Military field for
simultaneous attacks instead of doing one nation at a time. Imagine if
a karate black belt defended himself against only one of a dozen
opponents! He'd be an ex-champion pronto.
Right now, as before, we sorely need to knock out Iran, Syria, Saudi
Arabia, and either put back-breaking pressure on Pakistan or bomb them
into the stone age, and "Palestine" should be No-Mans-Land, while Egypt
should at least get strong enough pressure to send them back to the
Sphynx. As for Compassion, I'm compassionate for Victims, not
Victimizers.

Thank you. It is a signal honor to be a perfect anything.
In the interim, I notice you have no argument but name calling. Maybe
that impress your peers in the grammar school, but even seventh
graders usually need a reason (at least, mine did, but maybe they were
advanced, compared to you, anyway).
