      The Next Bubble
      Theres time when we should not be in the market and CD's are paying more and you can sleep at night. Lets face it...market performance is s#@!t and not doing anyone any good thats a long term investor. Better to be a greeter at WalMart than stay glued to a screen that causes you to lose money every day. Get out while you still can because we are goind down close to a Depression. You will need your bucks to eat....marvin the maven

      Recognizing an Abnormal Market
      Incidently, I told some very well heeled friends to get out of the market and go into CD's over 12 months ago and they laughed their head off and said they were getting advice from "experts that were in the know and had insights that nobody else had" and paying 1 or 2 percent a year for this super advice. Well, I've been out completely for a long long time now and taken my own advice....Marvin the Maven

      Well we are in a difficult economic environment and its obvious the market is confused recession for sure, depression maybe and who is the next leader? The best strategy now is to have most of you capital sitting on the sidelines with a few specialized plays if you can find them. Outside of this sage advice, if you are unsure of even a few plays stay out of the market completely for awhile. At least you will have some bucks to play the game again or better yet pay for gas and milk....Marvin the Maven

      Is the Dollar Safe?
      Its obvious the average US Citizen is going to get burned...time and time againg the speculator and "flipper" has made the bucks to the detriment of the prudent. This chapter in US economic history once again points out that greed pays...that is others pay and greed thrives. This administration is guilty of mismanagement for the benefit of the wealthy and if you are reading this and are wealthy vote Republican.

      What's Going Well, and What's Not
      One of the things that will stimulate the economy is to subcontract with Chinese manufacturers to assemble shoes, clothing and household articles here in this country for export to China. At the rate were going this is in the cards...wake up America!!!

      Argentina and Brazil Abolish Dollar in Bilateral Trade
      Our declining economy and influence around the world is under adjustment. The holy dollar is being dropped in favor of local currencies...the US dollar apparently is no longer a world standard to hold and trade. We sold the world our paper and now they do not want it for their commerce. Do you blame them with what this administration caused here in the US...the end of our world political, military and economic influence...were going to be second or third rate if we are not already.....too bad this administration sold us down the tubes.

      The Fannie/Freddie Bailout: Consequences to the U.S. Taxpayer
      Well it does seem with todays (Tuesday's) stock action that finally the cows have come in from the pasture. Too bad, there's no more grass out there and we have no hay here in the barn. Looking for a revival of the back yard vegetable garden and a few chickens around. Start digging your own well...water is going to be hard to get also.

      Great Shorting Opportunities Ahead in Home Builders, Banks
      I wishfully think you are wrong but I have to agree with you. Todays market reality check verifies your conclusions and mine too. This is just a band aid for an underlying problem...higher and higher unemployment and higher and higher overall inflations and low low low housing prices. It might take a Depression to get over this. In fact all of the cards are lined up now for a long term Depression and second status of the US on the world scene. You can thank this administration for orchestrating the countries downfall.

      Just How Much Can the U.S. Government Guarantee?
      Yes, the Republicans want to reduce our taxes more...but how could they pay for this...by reducing social security and having a National Sales Tax.

      Bond Expert: Historic Day Wraps
      Its going to be tougher for the Treasury to fund the debt...the load will become unbearable and there are not enough investors out there that will accept the petty interest rate...there is suppose to be an inflation premium but that seems to have evaporated...what we have now is a combination of high inflation, low interest rates and questionable energy supply/prices as well as a potential Iran problem which includes now Russia. It might turn out the only thing of value will be your brain and its ability to survive under extreme challange and physical adversity going forward.

      Could Frannie Have Prevented the Housing Bubble?
      It was obvious a few years ago to any beginning student of economics that housing inflation was out of control and monetary/policy was nessasary to prevent additional abuse but this administration thought they could make everyone wealthy with a housing market ponzy scheme....yes take a loan on your house you just bought last week and buy a new car or a resort home with the one month appreciation you just received from your new home...its obvious it could not last and did not but where were the so called experts or were they listening to the Administration trying to keep things going to help the war effort and social programs..

      Unintended Consequences of the Fannie / Freddie Bailout
      Everybody is going to be a loser with this overall financial and energy crisis. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH sombody pays....the market is acting as if the bailout is free and they are ready to play their next game. This just means that our national coffers are now poorer and owe more...but inflation could bale us all out...if Uncle Sam could just get a good grip on how to inflate the housing market and start the game all over again. IF TIGHTER LENDING STANDARDS is something they really mean WHERE ARE THE JOBS GOING TO COME FROM TO PAY ALL THE BILLS. Look out below because we still have a long way down to go before somebody comes up with a realistic productive paradyne for this country. Meanwhile look for MORE INFLATION AND HIGHER INTEREST RATES going forward.

      The Great Dollar Pump of 2008: A Doomed Central Bank Intervention
      I predict that the FNMA and FMAC bailout will be the bottom of the housing bubble. This is just what we need to start getting our financial
      house in order. Its also obvious that investing in US Mortgage Instruments from the above institutions are going desirable...looking for the Dollar to continue its rise as the rest of the world rushes to bail us out because in the long run we have the best investment paper.

      Unemployment Rates, Recession Periods and Stock Market Prices
      In some ways this is way too complicated. Things are tough and we all know it. When the ship starts going down each of the passengers should have on a life jacket...some will and some will not...survival going forward is the name of the game. Get out of the market and save yourself is my take on this write.

      What Will Fannie / Freddie Mean for Monday?
      This is great news if " YOU HAVE A SECURE JOB AND WANT TO BUY A HOUSE AND HAVE GOOD CREDIT". Its also great news for the bondholders, note holders but bad news for the stock holders that will be wiped out. Unless housing prices start rising, the bond will be backed by the US Government and the bond equity dininished but hopefully the housing market will recover.. What will that take??? Many new jobs and cheap energy but this seems beyond reach at this time.
      So where are we going? Probably into an inflationary ere with our Uncle Sam doing nothing to stop it. Cash or cash equivalents could be in trouble. Where to be...could be gold.
