Commodities' Blame Game: Dr. Stephen Leeb submits: Commodity prices have taken it on the chin lately. The CRB Index, for instance, has fallen 12 percent since mid June.

Intel Is a Bargain After an Impressive Quarter: Dr. Stephen Leeb submits: An impressive quarter is now in the books.

Retail Sales, Jobless Claims Quite Misleading; Commodities the One Bright Spot: Dr. Stephen Leeb submits: If not for the seriousness of the situation it would be comical how the popular press manages to put a positive spin on things these days.

Rates Need to Stay Low for This Bottom to Stick: Dr. Stephen Leeb submits: Last week’s market decline was only the second weekly decline since early March.
