The problem is that everyone wants to cut the others programs. I'm sure there is spending program or two that effect you directly or indirectly. What will all the government employees do? ReplyReaching for the Bottom in the Markets [view article]
Hope you are not trying to time the market! What will you do if the SPY goes up 10%? ReplyThis Isn't a Bottom, It's a Disturbance in The Force [view article]
the first step to go out of this crisis is to give a golden parachute to Bernanke and Paulson. Bernanke spent his first months in his position looking only at inflation numbers while the economy was falling apart. Probably he is a very good teacher but this crisis is 80% Bernanke made.See the problems come and you will be a leader. He is no leader. Reply

You just don't get it, do you? You, as well as other "experts", continue to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. The consumer in this country is tapped out because american companies, with the governments blessing, have for 20 years outsourced jobs to other countries, at the expense of our own people. Yes, some benefit from the lower prices at Walmart, but they also lose with lower wages, since they now have to compete against the world's idea of a fair wage. We need to retain good paying jobs here in this country instead of trying to encourage more of the same. Ridiculous!!!! Reply5 Reasons Stocks Will Keep Falling [view article]
Dr. Jackpot,Perhaps like you, I haven't known what to do with new money since 1987. The stock market hasn't made any sense; how could an economy continue to export productive jobs and yet continue to "thrive"? What did "financial services" produce anyway, besides hype, falsely elevated asset prices, and a generation of over-privileged thirty- and forty-somethings that thought they were stock market geniuses?
Now we know: it wasn't real. It was all a giant credit bubble blown first by the Fed, and later by increasing leverage at the "Investment Banks" that were creating money at 40 to 1 ratios. Our friends at Goldman, JPM, Morgan, Lehman, et al.
The principle of investing in a company is to provide it capital (real value in delayed gratification also known as "savings") that the company can put to work adding to the productive capacity of the economy, thus raising living standards. This went out the window some time ago (historians will figure it out) and was replaced by casino capitalism. That was the beginning of the end, in what amounted to a shift from productive industry to fighting over the corpse. Ever-increasing leverage kept the game going for decades, but you can only lie about math for just so long. What we are experiencing now, and what we will be experiencing for the next few decades, is "revenge of mathematical reality." Real wealth increases come from productivity gains, not from "financial services". Now we will all work harder and consume less to make up the difference.
Note to SA: All you jackholes who work in "financial services" need to get jobs making a useful product and bringing it to market at a competitive price. Your trophy wives will take your kids and what's left of your money and move on. Learn to lie about your past.
Or just go ahead and jump. Reply

Clearly inflation is not an issue but deflation is .The steep decline in the home prices and more recent commodity implosion is indicative of deflationary trend ahead.The implosion in the crude oil an other commodity prices is a positive catalyst as it will increase the real disposable income.
Given the record weekly decline in the Dow,reatil sales,beige book and the job data should not have significant impact on the market as the Armageddon assumptions are clearly embedded in the market.
At this point in time we need a rapid implementation of the 700billion dollars stability pacakage instead of wasting time on trying to create a perfect administrative infrastructure to implement aid allocation.
That 700 billion dollars is worth 5 trillion dollars of stimulus(using the multiplier of 7) - 40% of the U.S GDP.
The Treasury should consider investing directly in the key financial institutions
via preferred stock? but certainly without the "punishment" to the common stock share holders.
The issues are being addressed, but untill they are fully implemented,the expired "short" rule should be reinstated and applied to all of the stocks.
I would not worry about the slower response to the issues by the other economic zones .The foot dragging by the others,will increase the dollar demand( flight to quality) which then will be invested in the dollar denominated assets.
At this time the issues have been identified and are are being addressed.
It is the fear that is dangerous negative catalyst as it overwhelms the logic.
The time for concern was at least a year ago ,when today's issues have already emerged but were ignored.
I have issued a warning twice in the media but daily to my clients(major global institutions).
The first warning I have stated in an interview with Mark Gilbert (Bloomberg London).
The second warning I have issued on September 18,2007 (Bloomberg TV -Brian Sullivan)during the FED time.
Now that the issues have been identified and are being addressed,I am convinced that the markets offer an investment opporunity function of some minor incremenral time.
The volatilty will continue while longer as rationale neutralizes the fear.
While pessimists continue to express major negative scenarios,I believe that by the time Christmas arrives,economy will be back on the track(subject of the implemention of the approved measures).
To paraphrase one leader ,the only thing we should fear ,is fear itself and reporters who disseminate economic nonsense because they perceive themselves as economists .

greetings from the assembly line all the people i talk to are still invested and expect the market to return in a year or so. it is conditioned in the collective mind that you buy stocks for the long haul. these people are not selling until they have lost about 90% of their money. then they will buy some bullets and go get some payback ReplyWhat a Look Back at the Japanese Market Tells Us [view article]
But we are about to elect a president more interested in protectionism and higher business taxes and punishing investment so the suggestions for how we should move forward mentioned above appear to be unlikely ReplyGlobal Stock Markets: In the Grip of Fear? [view article]

nice article, and interesting array of responses :-) ReplyWhat a Look Back at the Japanese Market Tells Us [view article]
The topic of mass immigration has been broached by some well-known politicians here in Japan. The reality of no children but near immortality is beginning to register in everyone's mind. Japanese emigrants (and their offspring) are allowed back, but it seems many of them (mostly Brazilian-Japanese) prefer to stockpile cash here then leave. I imagine more immigration will happen, but birth rates might start to increase as the pension system falters. Note that Japanese-foreign couples are more fecund, which might bring increasing acceptance for immigration as more half-Japanese (gads, that sounds so crass) are born and raised.
