Back in 2006 and 2007 one of my very favorite exchanges was the InterContinental Exchange (NYSE:ICE). I loved it because it was an over-the-counter commodity exchange.  And unless you were hiding under a very large moss-covered rock in the mountains, you knew commodities were hot.

A few years back, I couldn’t believe that my father had finally bought a Garmin (NASDAQ:GRMN) GPS navigation system.

Think back hard for a few seconds… to the days when the dollar was the most hated asset in the world. In those days, the dollar was joked about, the euro was rapped about, and everyone came to the conclusion that the buck was history.

As I sit here and admittedly do something horrendous – eat Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia flavored ice cream at about 6:30 in the morning – I made the important revelation that sometimes people don’t do what they should…

Over the past year commodities have been beat down harder then Nazi Max Schmeling’s 1938 beating by the hand of African American Joe Louis. But it looks like some stocks are showing signs of bottoming out.

I hate Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO) as much as the next Google-loving fan boy does. But that doesn’t mean that I won’t at least look for a way to make a quick buck off of them.

It still bewilders me just exactly how fast Google (GOOG) went from the “Yahoo Wanna-be” to the king of the search engine universe. When it comes to Google shares though, lately they’ve been down and out. But that doesn’t mean you can’t make money.
