Financials: How - And When - We Reached the Bottom [view article]
That's right, just keep watching your TV's people. America must have its next top model. ReplyFinancials: How - And When - We Reached the Bottom [view article]
I seem to have read somewhere that someone in Dubai is buying a large stake into GE .....and I am sure we will see much more foriegn ownership of our companies ......according to my ealier post , when your credit runs out , the last thing is hock your house ......and that is where we are now ....we can't really print any more money , we have flooded the world with printed money the last 8 years , and we do not earn more than we spend as a nation .......soooooo it's time to start sellin' the house and furniture .........and after that ??????? I guess we will have to sell our kids into slavery or something .....I know we are in deep sht when the credit dries up , and we have sold off all our assets .....oh well , we can enjoy ourselves watching our TVs ( made in china of course ) ReplyFinancials: How - And When - We Reached the Bottom [view article]
Is it possible to see merit in both Tom's case and DSB's? I think so. There is no diubt by traditional metrics banks are extremely undervalued, but it is impossible to leave out the general macroeconomic environment. If the Gov't end-up taking over/guaranteeing FNM and FRE, if housing continues to drop for for the next couple years, if the general process of deleveraging and defaults extends more broadly into other types of debt like auto and credit card loans, if the FED has to raise interest rates due to inflation....doesn't mean all of these things will happen, but any analysis of banking securities that does not take these risks into account seems flawed. Would love to hear Tom respond to DSB at some point.... ReplyFinancials: How - And When - We Reached the Bottom [view article]
No Bottom. this is a forever Depression. For our lifetimes anyway.The Globalists have no back up plan. Just cheap labor and use oil to ship it where it goes. Reply

Bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter! I suppose Tom Brown considers himself one of the "fallen legends" who is about to be vindicated? Replydemand

Oh, I knew it must be Bush's fault. What are you people with Bush Derangement Syndrome going to do next January? You'll have to start blaming everything on garden gnomes or water sprites I suppose.You can lay all this at the feet of progressives, winslow. I mean the original progressives back at the turn of the 20th century who gave us the Federal Reserve system and the income tax. They set in motion the economic forces that are coming to bear on us today. Reply

Those who earn money, have trillions of dollars in their reserves. once they all move to a 'basked of currency' and their citizens reach 'consumer grade' we will no longer be necessary to fuel the global consumption.I think we are due for a bounce technically, financials are beaten down and it is quarter time so we will see another 2-3 months rally of sorts. There is one glimpse of good news: investment banks are not borrowing as much in the last month or so. I suppose they made enough money buying oil futures and then raising price targets, good for them.
I want to buy potash companies but a little nervous, also want to buy some bulk shipping companies. certainly don't think financials are a bargain. I would go to tech though I think tech has been getting sold for such a long time and I think it is a sector that has a chance of survival especially tech services type not the hardware types. Reply

The entire financial fiasco lies with the Bush ideology. No other politician would have made these major miscalculations The last seven years have been a disaster in virtually every area of American life (except for the many corrupt CEO's) ReplyFinancials: How - And When - We Reached the Bottom [view article]
we are reaping the results of counterfeiting 2 trillion dollars ...it's gonna take a while to absorb all that paper ....and of course the problem now is that we better not print any more ......so we have a few years of actually having to earn money instead of printing it ....which of course brings us to the next problem .....we don't earn money !!!!!!! China and Saudi Arabia earn money ....we print ......we cannot print forever ....soon the ink will cost more than a hundred dollar bill is worth .......just as a family cannot live indefinately on credit , neither can a nation .......and just as a family has to eventually hock the house ......so will this nation .....and real estate is the last thing to go before bankruptcy ......and if it were not for our military power , we would be up the creek right now big time ......unfortunately , the only solution we have now is to conquer the world .......in a global economy you must export more than you import .....and the only thing we export en masse is dollar bills .......oh , and I think a few american flags which are probably made in China .........of course there is one last ace in the hole for America .......the pope will have to loan us some money !!!!!!!! What , you think the pope visited the white house to talk religion ??????? George was hittin' 'im up for some dough !!!!!!! We certainly can't go on another printing spree , that's for sure ........

robertredford - Meridith has been spot on during this entire banking sector collapse. Also, 3 days does not make an investment. Wait until the fed gets done propping up the bank shares so they can finance themselves. I would call that a perfect short on the BKX. ReplyThe Calm Before the Next Bank Storm [view article]
This market is definitely a bear market bounce and the trend is down. However, the best money is made if you dollar cost avarge into financials and have at least a three year time horizon. Money can be made in dooom and gloom. ReplyFinancials: How - And When - We Reached the Bottom [view article]
LOL! debtacid: 1929-30 sure was quotable.But DSB has touched the central nerve: how much betrayal of essential trust can a market endure and still hope to prosper. I am often struck by the conservative obsession with getting the government off the backs of businesses so they can create value, jobs, and provide more opportunities for wealth etc,. But seems to me that lays a responsibility on businesses - in this case the financial sector - not to operate so recklessly that government intervention is the only way to prevent collapse. How can anyone observing this situation from the outside rush back in to invest in companies that have behaved so irresponsibly? Reply

He's wrong. Just dead wrong. The poster who posted about housing reverting back to 2.5 times income is spot on. We're not there yet and until we are problems will not stop. ReplyFinancials: How - And When - We Reached the Bottom [view article]
Buyitcheap, agreed. Financials have the potential to apply "claw of death" to anyone betting against them, until the next round of bad news.Go to ibankcoin.com for some reality. Do not let children near the computer.

consider too that we could just be in the midst of a major rotation out of oils, commodities, and into the beaten down sectors, financials among them. That doesn't mean an uptrend is permanent, but the increasing volumes would likely drive prices higher. Reply
