I do not trade stocks because they do not live in the real world. They live in lala land where PE no longer matters. Reality has taken a back seat to FED jawboning and flagrantly cooked up jobs numbers. That being said, there are some opportunities that are too tempting to pass up! I do not even know where to start... This one really smells... from insiders...

I am leaning short Gold but I think silver has more downside...
