WHAT TO DO NOW IF YOU ARE MOSTLY IN CASH $AAPL $UAL $LCC $DAL $ USO $ABX $GDX $NEM $GLD $SLV

March 7, 2013

On Wednesday, I received numerous emails from investors who are mostly in cash wanting to know what to do now. It appears that the floodgates for such emails opened when the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit a new high.

Many had expected the dollar to fall, but in a perverse action the dollar is strengthening. Earlier today euro briefly broke 1.30 but as of this writing has bounced back to 1.3007.

CANADIAN GOVERNMENT KICKS HOLE IN BLACKBERRY SECURITY REPUTATION

March 1, 2013

As BlackBerry attempts to stage a comeback with BB 10, one aspect of its sales pitch is that BlackBerry is famous for its security characteristics. Now BlackBerry is losing its security aura. The timing could not be worse for BlackBerry of a security warning coming from Canada. Canada.com reports that the government department in charge of cyber security has issued a warning “to think twice before sending a BlackBerry message.” The warning is contained in a memo received by Postmedia News using the access to information act from Public Safety Canada. Public Safety Canada is a department of the Canadian government somewhat similar to the U. S. Department of Homeland Security. One
