Silver and Gold on the move.

Gold ended the week at $1747.20 per ounce while silver posted gains of 0.3% to finish at $35.29 per ounce.

On the week, gold rallied for approx $105 or 6.3%, while silver futures surged $3.65 or 11.5%.

Both metals had fallen over 30% during the recent market swoon but they are climbing back, silver especially has had an impressive move.

I remain bullish on both for the foreseeable future and i sell calls or puts on them as the market dictates.

Crude oil futures, closed at $93.32 per barrel.

Finally, Natural gas rallied for 4.1% to close at $3.92.
Natural gas Futures were aided by cold snap that has hit the east coast. I play nat gas with the ETF UNG, I believe natural gas it is a great multi-year play at these cheap prices. Out of all commodities natural gas might be the only one that hasn't rallied, until now that is.

Saving money, is the same as making some. If you have a baby, you know that money is hard to save.
I’ve checked and cross checked diapers everywhere, the best I can tell is Amazon has the best prices bar none!


They are cheaper than diapers.com and way cheaper than babies r us.

There is one catch to getting the cheapest diapers in the known world at Amazon, you need to sign up for an ingenious little program that they have running.

Amazon has a new program called “Subscribe & Save”.
All you need to do is enroll to receive a new shipment of items in the time interval you select. The discounts are pretty steep and once you set a schedule you never need to order those same items again.
You can adjust the number of items or the schedule as you need.

First Netfilx, then Amazon, Apple is next.

Months ago i recommend purchasing way out of the money puts on all three.
Netflix and Amazon Puts that were 40 points out of the money went up, on average 400%.

Don't get me wrong, i love Amazon, it isn't going anywhere as a company but right now, the market is looking to smite these high flying stocks.

Get out of the way, DO NOT GO LONG- any of these stocks.
With consumer spending and sentiment in the toilet, we need to wait it out. The shorts aren't done with this one yet.

The death of Steve Jobs marks the end of American exceptionalism

The death of Steve Jobs marks the end of American capitalism.
The death of Steve Jobs marks the end of American consumerism.
The death of Steve Jobs marks the end of American innovation.

Make no mistake, he was a great man, an influential man, he wasn't perfect, but he didn't need to be.

When a man of his stature passes, it is a forceful reminder, a shock to the American collective- we are mortal, and our time will come.

Some are wondering why this news has hit them so forcefully and emotionally. We only need to look around us, at the depressing headlines to find the answer.
Americans will, and should shed tears for the loss of what Steve Jobs represented- what America once was.

We aren't the same nation we were when Jobs first rose to prominence, if we don't get our shit together, we will never get there again.
