Ratigan has stated the truth about the effects of high speed computer trading, and is very courageous in doing so. He's brilliant, and was with CNBC for years, but was moved over to MSNBC because I believe he demanded his own show on CNBC. A bit arrogant, but really sharp and knows trading well.
The markets are extremely dangerous here. Scary drops coming... maybe starting next week. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Six Pack have little chance up against the Hedgefunds and high speed trading, which control 70% of the market! The international banks and Washington are in control.
I got out of the U.S. stock market 3 years ago. Had Google, RIMM etc. but detected the Hedge Fund games being played, and couldn't compete.
I'm so happy to be invested in gold, and the ROF! Sure there will be dips, but I can sleep well at night.
The U.S.market is closed on Monday. Already everyone is heading to the beach for a long July 4th celebration, so Cliffs only has this afternoon and Tuesday to raise its offer to $1.00 :) Hold every share you have! A merger of KWG and SPQ is essential!
