I was looking through my friends list this morning and noticed quite a few of them had huge jumps in CAPS points this morning. Their best performing pick was PALG.OB. Many of us knew that this was a manipulated pump and dump company. If you need to know the details, check the dozens of redthumb comments on the stock's page. I shared in the pain with many top CAPS members of holding a company I knew was worth zero, while the stock held multibillion dollar market cap. Now that pain has ended (at least for me). To my pleasure, the stock dropped this morning to $6 per share, just enough to trigger my limit order and I actually ended the pick with a gain (somewhere around 300points total). [more]

Currently gold is currently down to $1200 per oz. Gold has been selling off like crazy all week. I've been checking the dollar index over the same period and I see no correlation (e.g. flight to "safety"). I haven't seen any articles or heard any commentary attempting to explain the selloff.
Either way the whole thing sounds fishy.

The Queen of the cosmos cartoons has chronicled the entire financial crisis with humor and great metaphors. I thought today's cartoon was especially good. I wish I had permission to embed but I'll just post the link.
