PLANS FOR NEXT YR?

[rhoff]

It's amazing how they can make a financial
product to do anything for anyone. My investing
style is a lot less exciting than yours. I think over
the next year there will be great buys among
P&C insurers. Meanwhile life companies will
have a long road ahead of them ie. Manulife.
I guess if you know long dated treasuries are
going to be bought up by the bernanke then
someone will develop a leveraged ETF that's 3x
short manulife.

Original thinking as I understand it is that the worlds money is going to flee Europe and banks with exposure to europe and move into commodities and rally the price of grains.

Sure have not seen this the last few days. Is this still a belief that will occur, or is the us $ going to just keep appreciating.

Part of me sure wants to believe the grains will hold stable or increase, but part of me thinks that values today are not that bad and it sure would suck to watch everything drop by 1/3 and then I sell.

Thanks to everyone who does post on this site with there ideas and thinking ahead. I realize not everyone is going to be right, but I am sure learning lots just from the exposure.
