Hi Jim,
I don't know how often you get a chance to answer these but my cousin is a big fan and follower of yours. I just thought I'd take a stab at asking what your thoughts were on RHODIUM? Since we get a lot from Russia and our relations are not all that good do you think the price will go back up to the $10,000.00 an ounce it was last year?

Jim Jubak The new frugality? Jimmy Choo comes to H&M. I was skeptical. But look at the price points: $129 for a pair of high-heel patent sandalettes; $299 for stretch leater over the knee boots. I leave it to the fashionistas to tell me if they'd buy JImmy Choo at H&M.

Karl Schilling Hey Jim, follow your work. I wanted to get your thoughts on NovaGold NG on the amex, just read your article on GoldCorp GG, pls compare.

Mr. Jubak,
I thought your work on MSN was the best and am glad to see this new venture.

Saajan Doshi Wow I am 17 years old and Iam just learning how markets and financial instruments work Your columns on MSN our great. any advice as far as what type of degree/double major(Math,Physics,Finance, Computer Science, Economics) I should be going for if I want to be an invesment banker/ working at a hedge fund.

Mary Carlton-Powers I have a question for you, our house value is down 25%. Unemployment is high, especially in construction, prices for materials are down. Why shouldn’t our insurance go down? I talked to mine and they said they don’t decrease only increase.

Jim Jubak What's the new cheap? Went searching for cheap no-contract cell phone in London over the weekend. Bought a Samsung for $20. How can they sell this phone at that price? (I assume there's a subsidy from Orange, the service provider, but still...) What have you seen recently that's mindbogglingly cheap?

Greg your book "Jubak Picks". According to the info on Amazon.com, it was published in Dec of '08. If that is correct, is it current enough for the times we are in?

Martha C. Vargas Hi everybody, I want to learn as much as I can about Investment, because pretty soon I'M ON MY WAY TO BE A SUCCESFULL RICH BUSINESS WOMAN, for sure millonaire... he he he... :)

Elliott Marchand Jim - I saw this on bloomberg regarding "Rydex/SGI Mid Cap Value Fund" the other day and wondered what your take on it was.

Jim, per your recent article, "Why Big Banks Hate Banking" on MSN, this issue MUST be discussed further and now. The conduct of the banks is deciding the speed and degree of the recovery at street level, and the banks are now the biggest threat to the recovery in the U.S. We must look at the credit union model of ban...king for the middle class (or lower) American to have any access to banking services that do not destroy the future of the banking customer. This is now a crisis situation and must be dealt with soon or we will sink into a black hole that will make Calcutta or Rwanda look like developed nations.

Jim Jubak Research from Hyundai says 24% of new car buyers in 2010 will be empty-nest baby boomers. Huge number. Investible trend?

Robert Kephart With respect to TC - bought it when you said to around $3 -- just sold about $12 - but now is back about $10 - is it time to buy back in?
