    Wow, for a fairly typical bearish commentary similar to many others I've read in the last 9 months, this was a pretty good piece. I actually found myself reading most of it. I think I kept reading because you made a solid recommendation of Chinese and Latin American stocks which are clearly a great value at current levels. So, you're a reasonable fellow. Reply

    You got it Mike. Also, if Washington is serious about America, it would enact an emergency energy bill of 2008. Subsidize $200 B into alternatives (coal, solar, nuke and non-corn biodiesel) from Treasury. With We the People backing the investment, investing in America again to create a viable competing market for big oil worthwile for the global investor and great for the American and global consumer. We could be such a massive exporter of energy, healthcare, education, agriculture and metals but affordable energy is key to all these things. Coincidentally, such an investment opportunity as energy would sure fix balance sheets in the banking system in a hurry. It would also create millions of jobs in the service economy rather then millions of Americans learning to dig ditches or work for $9 an hour at a final assembly plant with no benefits somewhere in east bumcluck.

    Because oil is at a "high" doesn't mean it can't/won't go higher. If the current cycle of reducing spending continues and asset values continue to decline (I have not see anyone saying they probably won't) then the government will not hesitate to raise taxes since their enlightenment must survive even at the expense of the taxpayers. Two defeatocratic candidates say they will raise taxes by not extending the tax cuts and possibly increase taxes in other "financial impact" areas including capital gain (we need change).
    Can we grow our way out of the deficits plus cover rising expense from boomer retirement and medicad/soc security cost? Maybe but probably not with our service employment based on junk food and unskilled mom/pop business, call centers, tele marketing and landscaping contractors. High school grad rates are down and we seem to be creating a society of slightly educated and somewhat educated. I teach at a community college and rarely can my classes handle reading for comprehension and 6/7th grade basic math or understand percentages. My son's speaker at his coming college graduation is a life long criminal with a triple murder conviction that was up held by a second trial and he was ultimately released as the prosecutor did want a 3rd trial after 22 years. This is suppose to inspire learning? Drive and observe many of our favorite cities and cast a very critical eye as to what progress you see. Recent employment gains seem to be government sponsored not business generated. Many public service workers seen to work for their early retirement benefits and view labor negotiations as a type of future lottery for their benefit. While I can see the writer being called too negative, I never see anyone providing a achievable solution to the areas addressed. If seems we are giving away money to home buyers are are not capable of owning a home without massive government assistance from our tax dollars probably just to keep some money from R E taxes flowing to the
    state. Most government statistics are cooked and even wall street
    knows not to believe them or rely on them for accuracy. If our elected "leaders" lie and we know it, they we have no reason to believe or support government. We can not even agree to an official English language and while we are allegedly trying to stop illegal immigration we have sanctuary cities not enforcing the laws.
    I am a Vietnam vet that fought on the rivers for the LBJ lie and I see many more dark clouds than beams of sunlight. Just seems like no one wants to lead or maybe they lack the capability and we as a nation may be just clearing our zenith and heading down. My favorite anecdotal example of change is being the only English speaker in the local post offices in Southern California including the employees. We need solutions, not the B S from Congress.

    Magman, just so there is no confusion, SKF is an Ultrashort Financial EFT. Hence, to take a short posture in financials, one would buy (not short) it.

    As for the treatment options to avert this potential economic catastrophe, Washington must restructure free trade and healthcare, America's biggest problems. To enable this, voters must demand an end to lobbyists donations. As long as money flows from corporations to Washington, America will be controlled by corporate America and working-class Americans will suffer.     Reply

    Although, this near-Armageddon scenario may not occur, so it may. This is the clearest and most coherant "big-picture"... of the possible reaction, which I've seen (read). While I would stress that this may not occur, it appears plausible and anyone would be wise to devote a portion of their investments, to address this contingency... Many things could change to make this picture somewhat better, or, even worse. I doubt whether I will have a flat tire, over the next year or two, based on my experience, however, I devote 25% of my investment in tires to address the possibility of a failure (4 active and one spare)... I would not hesitate to devote 25% of my financial investments to a defensive strategy, addressing the issues which the author raises. Are the speciific investments that he recommends, the best? I don't know, just as I don't know what brand of tires might be best, but I sure believe in carrying a spare, even though I haven't had a flat in many years.

    Excellent analysis of the elements of risk, contained within our national economy! Not a very pretty picture, but "good job" on revealing the underlying pathology, of our economically-challenge... patient, indeed! I'm not sure about the treatment options, but the prognosis is sobering and ought to affect the patients lifestyle, so long as the patient still desires to live.     Reply

    Wow, this guy really is way ahead of the curve! Short SKF...after the financial crisis has been discounted, buy gold three years into a bull market? Buy oil when it's close to its all-time high? How can we possibly lose? Reply

    Anyone who not only watches this slimiest group of touts/thieves/liars, but actually follows their recommendations, deserves to lose money.
    CNBC reached down into a toilet and came up with this group.
    As if Cramer wasn't bad enough, this den of thieves makes Cramer look sainted.

    your post would be more useful if you highlighted the fraction of cash flow that the expirations will have on an individual company basis. Just giving us drug names is nice, but practically useless.
