The problem with the DPJ...<br>
<br>
By Tobias Harris<br>
<br>
Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama has returned to Japan after what appears<br>

<br>
The one absolute, take it to the bank, bet the ranch fact you can<br>
count on right now is that there is no value in the stock market. We<br>

New top or new bottom<br>
<br>
By The Mad Hedge Fund Trader<br>
<br>
Those transfixed by gold blasting through the $1,000 level have been<br>
missing the real action in silver. The white metal has soared 57<br>
percent to $17 since the beginning of the year compared to only a 22<br>
percent move for the barbaric relic, an out performance of almost<br>
three to one...<br>
