Is the growth-to-value shift here? Favoring high-priced stocks during the crisis actually fits the pattern, says Nick Magnuson of Brandes Investment Partners, because either fear or greed (in this case, fear) has gotten too extreme. With worries subsiding, people will realize that value stocks are too cheap to avoid. [View news story]
But what about the "market makers" the ones that sell me put's and use the proceeds to pump a stock sky high month after month. Its a good thing they have the leverage of the fed to help. You got to know the game is rigged in a lot of ways.
It's this break down of perceived justice that is driving OWS. It is a classic robin hood fairy tale to some and for the most part they are right. Finance took advantage, failed and never paid the proportional price. The myth of justice in our system died that day for generations of Americans and it is currently being reinforced in our streets by our own "cops".
Soon groups among the protestors will break off turn violent and come for the 1%, like the police are coming at them. What will be the effect on our society when a well dressed woman of the "99%" walking into a high end retail store and pepper spraying a "1% customer"? Total break down is so close it is scary.
I never thought I would live to see the day the USA degraded into a 3rd world country, but is at a turning point.
The only way to save it may be to kill what should have been killed in 2008 and start the rebuilding process in a decentralized manner. Maybe revisit our founders, our creation myth, maybe just maybe there may be some bedrock there.
I would love to see a day when the president lives in a white house with an open lawn not gated off from the public. A day were the president is a representation, not the sole embodiment of our political system. That is what this country looked like not too long ago. The ivory towers have gotten to high and we are at a turning point. Lock our self's and our families inside for life, fear our food sources, our doctors, our fellow citizens, or man up and help rebuild from the bedrock.
Figures showing Amazon's (AMZN) Kindle Fire on track to beat the iPad (AAPL) in first month sales might mean Apple's tablet has its first true competitor, writes Blake Snow. Price is the Fire's #1 strength, he says, but don't forget its content advantage, free cloud storage, an AppStore that combines the best of Apple and Android, and a smaller size making it easier to hold.

The underlying message of the Wall Street protests is something the big banks and corporate America may finally have to grapple with before it becomes dangerous: accountability for unchecked power and greed. They're the "Tea Party with brains" - but what do they want in capitalism's place? [View news story]
I said a week ago my biggest fear was a stock market crash blamed on the protesters.
You have to look at some of the groups behind these protests to get the bigger picture. I know you might laugh but. look educate your self.
This is the hacking world, maybe some of the people who wrote programs that wallstree computers run off of. Who they are Chinese, Russian, Indian maybe the US military Who knows who cares. Look into the group and educate your self before you play into other peoples hands.
Every person who passes by these people try and engage them in a positive way. They are just pawns like you.

you think the people behind this movement are the ones camping on the street?
it's a chess game and these guys are pawns and anyone hostile at this group are also PAWNs! Are you a pawn? I urge you all to talk with these people give them a cup of coffee a jobs get them off your streets as fast as you can, peacefully and willingly(they are not the enemy). kick the can down the road if you can. The alternative is 5 p/e on the S&P and then scary inflation and war.
you are in no mans land don't be the one to fire first, no one wins this game.

If Europe's contagion gets out of hand, it could lead to a global banking crisis worse than what we saw in 2008, asserts IHS Global Insight's Rex Nutting.

The euro is expected to fall when trading opens this week after a G7 finmin meeting on Friday produced the usual platitudes about taking "all necessary actions" to deal with various ills but was thin on concrete measures.

Nice quotes, but is sovereign default the only problem these banks have? I thought property values and defaults were also a problem.

There are runs going on in the banks of greece. People are pulling money out of the banks, stuffing safty deposit boxes and safes. Do a little reading on this topic. What if this spread to italy, france even germany. what would hapen to the banks?

When compared to bonds, equities are "looking as cheap as they've ever looked," says Templeton's Lisa Myers. The flight of investors into bonds has made them very expensive, and when you compare yields today, "the delineation between the two has become huge." She suggests buying leading large-cap stocks that provide strong earnings to weather the market's storms. (video). [View news story]
What's the real value of us Bonds, if the fed was not manipulating the bond market?? 7% 12%?

There is another problem. Look at how goods and services were produced 10/20/30 years ago. The system has become to efficient, to "modern" for its own good. You need less workers to produce and sell more product.
We are in a scary spiral. The wheel needs to be reinvented. The way we look at debt resources and our place in society has to change in some way or we will be killing each other in the streets very very soon.
