The Facts Indicate We're Not in a Depression or Bubble

you claim that the lower dollar makes it cheaper to manufacture here in america(so get ready for companies to begin hiring0??? what a croc that statement is. it completely ignores the fact that people are not ordering what they manufacture,so why would they rehire? it also ignores the fact that the government is passing new taxes(especially against the rich_can we say the very people who you expect to rehire us?)these new.much much higher taxes will cause less investment in expansion of businesses here(chase away many businesses to other countries with lower tax rates) leaving more unemployed .

9 Great Excuses to Be Stubbornly Bullish

Our Government is currently fielding a bill which would tax the wealthy(my guess,anyone making more than $150,000.00 a year) will be taxed(income tax) at a rate of 74% and on top of that a 55% tax on all assets.Now if you tax the wealthy to death, you kill any future plans for business investment,thereby,kil... future employment.Now tell me how this country is expected to soar.

9 Great Excuses to Be Stubbornly Bullish

* Stone Fox C...:Says::: good article. People still don't get leading for lagging indicators. Its been very clear for months now based on leading indicators that the economy is about to soar, but its also been bullish that so many people are bearish.
I say, your nuts! Soar?? how do you back this statement up? with what? this economy cannot soar (as you put it) until we can convince other countries to begin investing in our securities again,and our Government is doing Everything In Its Power to destroy that.
They recently passed a new legislation(which is to allow collection of hidden assets in other countries)For Tax purposes.However, this new law makes America look like a modern Day Racketeer(Gangster)..O... countries are calling for every country to pull out All Assets(both in government securities as well as in Stocks,bonds and any other investment).This along with the criminal amounts of money they have been printing will make investing in new and in growing current businesses nearly impossible.

The Bear Market Still Growling?

Profiting from the Tapped Out Consumer

oops i meant to say , they have no where to go but down(not dont )

Profiting from the Tapped Out Consumer

* BudH:
* Comments (37) SAYS;
This higher savings rate will come out in future spending in the consumer economy.

but it took The Chinese 20 years of saving before they began their spending spree. If it takes Americans only half that(10 Years) thats a long time for the economy before it recovers. thats why many of these stocks have risen way too soon. i believe many are way over priced at this point.They have no where to go but don't so I would be looking at shorting a lot of ETFs.

Defending the Fed

Mrs. Amadeo is wrong. Our government's job is not to bail out anybody. Private or business. That is why we have a free market. this free market is supposed to cleans us of poorly managed business so other (well managed businesses can thrive and grow). By bailing out these zombie banks, we actually make our country less of a super power by holding back the progress that is supposed to happen in a free market society.

Example. A gas station is not run profitably, it will close up and soon after , a new and better un station will replace it. same goes for auto manufacturers and Insurance companies, and banks.! Bank closes, you can't bank there any more ,so you go to the next bank(which in turn thrives and grows)replacing the skunk bank that just closed. An Auto Manufacturer runs the place into the ground and closes, another either grows or opens to replace it.There is no such animal as too big to fail.Go ahead,Audit these rats. Lets find out what they don't want us to know about the money they stole from us to line the pockets of their friends who are supposedly too big to fail.

yeah, many of these are poor performers, and I bet for very good reasons. Do your homework before taking the risk of owning anything you see in print.

Three Great Aspects of Cash for Clunkers

Three Great Aspects of Cash for Clunkers??? so your advocating the theft of your kids future and your kid's kids futures to artificially stimulate the economy? your so sick you need to be taken out and stomped on a few hundred times till some sentence is smashed into that head . and this next statement is so stupid I don't even have words to express my disrespect for you. your words---For the sake of saving the environment from old polluting cars and stimulating the economy, Congress, by legislative fiat, could prohibit the possession or use of any vehicle over 10 years old. The mandatory new vehicle replacements could be phased in gradually over 5 years, and would effectively force the purchase of at least an additional 60 to 70 million vehicles.

How about this. by putting laws against driving cars older than 10 years, you destroy many lives , as most older cars are driven by those who have no means to buy newer than 10 years. So they get to go shopping with their kids by walking to the store with kid in tow.Great ideas from someone so stupid.

Americans Relocating for Jobs: That's a Good Sign

Moving to where the work is is a survival skill we all use no matter where we live . Thats just part of life. This story has no bearing on anything that will help people .

Americans Relocating for Jobs: That's a Good Sign

""That mobility has set us apart for the better from most other industrialized nations.""

what are you nuts? Like other nations don't move to where the work is. How do you suppose we ended up with so many Mexicans in this country? They just magically appeared? They moved, to where the work was. And in the Philippines, they move to any Country where they can find work. Its not just Americans who move? Where did you get that ridiculous notion?

Uptick in Residential Construction Spending (You'll Need a Magnifying Glass to See It)

I vote Temporary blip as we need to clear excess housing before we see any significant up ticks here.And from what I have read recently,many banks are not even putting foreclosures back on the market right now for frear of driving housing prices lower than they already are.sSo, when those hit the markets, it will take even longer to clear the path to more newly built houses, making a recovery in this sector unlikely at least till 2012 .So, it seems people are getting overly excited about notta.

Your are right and Washington is right. They don't know, they won't find out, and they think they are being saved by the Mesiah. The government is sucessfully creating a nation of people ignoring the problems or looking to Washington for the solutions / handouts / salvation / "change".. The only change we will have will be what is left in our pockets. Try to expose it and you will be targeted. The databases being built via the new census, "health care reform" and other Obamanations will be used. I don't see how we can stop this freight train.


you stop the freight train with a revolt,but as yet, there are not enough people with the guts it takes to mount such a revolt.

Investing Implications of Higher Consumer Savings Rate

yes, we have to take a lot of variables into account here. As you have said in this story,consumers have lost so much of their disposable income level, that to return to the spending levels of recent past might take many many years. Consumers will first need to replace that lost income, plus,as one commenter states,lower credit levels on credit cards, lower Heloc's and a few other areas could translate into a very prolonged recovery.

The Problem with Loan Modifications

Home borrowers cannot be foreclosed on any more . There was an article that states this clearly,. If you have the original loan papers in your possession, you can permanently stop the foreclosure process, by asking for a discovery process (whereby)the bank or other entity must show their original papers).If like many banks they cannot or will not show these original papers(with no modifications to them) you can stop the foreclosure. See, mast of these loans were repackaged and sold(many times they would be sold more than once) and to do this, they had to stamp the original as paid in full. If there is any change to the original papers, you can show this is not the agreement you originally signed,thereby making it impossible for the banks to foreclose.Its actually illegal for them to repackage and resell these loans in the first place, and courts have backed up the borrower in recent cases.So check it out, you can owe money on the house and still not fear losing it. so the next question is, if it can't be foreclosed, then does the buyer get to keep it even though its been unpaid? it would seem so at this point.That puts a new twist on the banking problems. cause they were foreclosing while getting government money and then selling the home after foreclosure (essentially a second payment if you will) on the same home.But with recent courts holding for the buyer, that seems to be coming to and end ,but leaving the buyer with a home he hasn't paid for.
