    In that oil is the spiking gainer last week, I was curious if you had
    any information on Hess Corp. (HES).
    Seems this company is in the oil exploration industry and as it appears
    to me, they are firing on all cylinders.
    If you have any info whatsoever regarding this company, it would be
    truly appreciated.

    Thankyou     Reply

    Greenspan: Large Losses Loom [view article]
    He (Mr. G) cautions the current credit crisis will not end until huge inventories of new homes are sold, and home-price deflation ceases. ......... Very large losses will, no doubt, be taken as a consequence of the crisis. But after a period of protracted adjustment, the U.S. economy, and the world economy more generally, will be able to get back to business."

    Gee! He is really a genius and finally gives us his real words and the real medicine.

    Our best scenario in the USA is that Greenspan take up golf- 36 holes per day that wears him out, precluding speaking engagemants. The chaos was fed on his watch. He retired?? I think his new wife wants his news stories to enhance her career. Typical newsgirl!! Reply

    Human psychology. Simple.

    You can hire all the economists in the world and still can't measure or predict the human psyche.

    When one sees change and feels change and experiences change and that change is positive for his/her environment, a state or euphoria presides over all.     Reply

    Greenspan: Large Losses Loom [view article]
    In order to understand our present situation, it is instructive to read this article from the WSJ from June 9, 2005:

    In Treating U.S. After Bubble, Fed Helped Create New Threats

    * Low Rates Bolstered Economy, But Housing, Foreign Debt Appear Out of Balance

    * Greenspan's Legacy at Stake

    "If I were a biologist I'd call this a perfect example of symbiosis," former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker mused in a February speech at Stanford University. "Contented American consumers matched against delighted foreign producers. Happy borrowers matched against willing lenders. The difficulty is, the seemingly comfortable pattern can't go on indefinitely."

    Almost every economist agrees. The debate is over how, not whether, the global economy rebalances: Will it be smooth, through some combination of declining dollar and accelerating foreign demand? Or will it be chaotic, with a dollar collapse, much higher U.S. interest rates and perhaps a global recession?

    Mr. Volcker thinks a crisis is likely. Investor confidence could fade "at some point," he said, with "damaging volatility in both exchange markets and interest rates."

    Yes, "Bubbles" Greenspan how sees the credit crisis as an "accident
    waiting to happen". Of course HE caused the crisis through years of easy money.

    Hey Guys,

    I appreciate you visiting SA and leaving comments, even some that don't cast me in the best light, because I enjoy hearing other peoples' opinions. Please understand though, that we, as 'news brief' editors, for the most part try to present 'the story' such as it is, without offering our own opinion. If my bias appears in there, it was unintentional. In this story, I presented the economic figures and quoted analyst opinions about those figures. If that qualifies me for a spot on certain people's "idiot" lists, so be it.

    Unfortunately the numbers that you are referring to are rubbish... Just like Peter Lynch did with equities you need to get out on the street and meet with management. Juxtapose that with current events in the housing markets and shazam you have your own neighbors to turn to. They are the owners and management all in one! They can't sell their homes, they can't cover the mortgage by renting, it's a dead end industry for the next few years as the smart money waits for the falling knife to finally hit the floor. I'd imagine that Mr. Dekaser has a vested interested in putting a positive spin on the housing market, just like the Harvard Economic Society did in 1929 after the stock market crashed. HOW WRONG THEY WERE! Mr. Mehta I suggest you get off your computer and take a trip to Florida, Arizona, or come visit me in the Central Valley in sunny California, as your statistics are shady at best. Cheers Reply

    Homebuilders are not "leading" anybody anywhere, except into a deep recession. This article is sheer fantasy, of the deliberate sort. Reply
