Why the Dow Is Headed to 6000

Good question Okie. It seems that a major point of the otherwise well written article was not very well substantiated.

Economy Watch: Looking Back and Looking Ahead

I think the reasoning (?) of the first two sentences of the author's conclusion are pretty silly. Apparently he thinks that if the market goes up and down a lot in intra-day moves now, this will somehow result in large gains in the next year. Next year might well result in large gains - just not for that reason - if that could even possibly qualify as a reason, for anyone. Because of this little oversight, I think the entire article should be questioned. There are plenty of other good articles both in support of and against his views, that offer sound reasoning all the way through.

Bailout Bill Passes; What Happens Now?

A simply amazing article! The author is certainly one of the few people on this planet to say it all,as it actually is. I will freely admit that my brain has serious difficulties accepting certain parts of the inflation/deflation argument, but until furthur, I will assume that the problem must be on my end, and not on the author's end. Many thanks for the article.

Meet Mr. Market: Jim Cramer

I hope my story has value to someone somewhere. Although I'm an american citizen, I have lived in Denmark the last 23 years, and don't ask me why. Because I don't even watch TV, I first "met" Jim Cramer through his written words only. Like so many others I was impressed! I didn't quite realize then that, that was the whole point, IMPRESS! Even so, I learned alot but, couldn't understand why his long term record was so patchy. One day online at the library, someone left the volume way up and I inadvertantly clicked on a video of him. I was really shocked, angry, amused, insulted, digusted, outraged, and disappointed!!! It wasn't investment, it was pure Hollywood Entertainment, and I'm not influenced much by him any more. I was also surprised at how long it took on his show to actually get investment information. There was so much else in between. There are better sources of information elsewhere.
