      Dealing With the Crazy Swings
      Buying on the dips and selling on the updrafts seems to be the way to play....but beware...it could downside in a hurry...where is M1 and Job Groth to come from in the long run...nothing to really help the troops that have to pay the long term price of this ongoing destruction.

      Bernanke's Fall from Grace
      Common economics 101 should have been the rule"
      Interest rates should reflect the inflation rate plus 3%.
      THIS DID NOT HAPPEN BECAUSE THE US NEEDED
      SOMETHING AFTER THE DOT COM DOWNDRAFT AND
      IT BECAME THE BLOWN UP REAL ESTATE MARKET
      AS THE NEXT BUSINESS MODEL THAT WILL KEEP EVERYONE
      IN BUSINESS AND SPENDING..To say that nobody knew
      what was going on and for the financial managers to say
      nobody knew is wrong. I'm an idiot and I knew the interest
      rate rule cited above.....MarvinMBA

      This Market Is 'Uninvestable'
      I suppose there is a lot of risk in todays market. Very few of us have the guts to get in there and hang in during these gyrations. But my last few posts have suggested that this might be a good time. I bought and sold Microsoft a few times during the last few weeks always making a little by trading. This morning I bought back MSFT shares and I am happy I did. One think that has not been in the news by the pundits is the possiblity of
      stability...not a turnaround but a quiet period (at least in the USA) for things to sort out...I'm betting on that quiet period. We do not know what the future will bring but I'm betting that computers will always be in the picture no matter what..MarvinMBA

      Strategies to End the Crisis
      Of course things always look bad before any turnaround. Actually, I personally believe that there could be some bottoming action coming soon with some of the bigger entities such as MSFT show some inherent strength....MarvinMBA

      Nothing Good Will Come of Bankers Being in Control
      Yes, its a dire situation on a world wide basis. The extent of the dislocations are just becoming know both here and abroad...we are
      slated for some type of worldwide recession of larger magnitude than
      most realize. Our US stockbrokerage and banking system has been socialized and I suppose our Auto Industry (what little of it is left domestically) will be socialized also. I think your next job is going to be working on a govenment works project...good luck.

      Why Stock Market Volatility Is Perfectly Natural
      I personally suggest
      that the coming months and years will see vast changes in the world economy and social
      structure with this country coming out second rate. We are so spoiled that everybody
      thinks everything will just flow down from heaven. We have to provide the right intrastructure for
      success and that means low cost or no cost education thru college, medical
      assistance for everybody and low cost energy. LETS CALL A
      SPADE A SPADE AND NOT LIVE IN THE FUTURE LIKE WE HAVE BEEN LIVING.

      All the things you do not know I will now tell you:

      WE ARE IN DEEP TROUBLE WITH THE ECONOMY WHICH IS GOING TO
      TANK MORE AND MORE AS WE GO THRU THE NEXT FEW QUARTERS.

      The big question is can a stockbrokerage and banking system run by the government be productive for the investor?? My answer: NO NO NO.

      Are we going to socialize the Auto Industry next????

      Bubble Also Caused by Neomercantlists
      I suppose it made it easy to sell paper overseas and bring back the bucks to pay of the home builders and property sellers. Thats now stopped. But at this junction I still do not see long term rates rising which they should be all things being equal which of course they are not. Thats saying our economy is in the dumps big time!!!! You are going to have to wait a long long long long time before you see RE valuations return....WHERE ARE THE JOBS AND BIG SALARIES TO SUPPORT A RETURN TO THE RETAIL AND REAL ESTATE SECTORS. I suppose the next jobs are going to work-make jobs provided by Uncle Sam because the private sector....banking and stockbrokerage is be
      socialized. Will USam do the same for the Auto Industry...etc.etc etc...where are we going?????????????????...

      Five Presidents and Three Federal Reserve Chairmen Later...
      There are some issues that I find go beyond the boundries....the Bush Administrationhas virtually destroyed this country both economically and internationally.Our deficits are beyond counting. We are now or soon will be a second ratecountry. Your lifestyle might not change but many of the breadwinners are goingto face a tough time going forward. The Bush Administration started with a Budget Surplusand now look where we are....THIS ALL HAPPENED DURING THE REPUBLICAN WATCH.You have to close your eyes and believe in the holy grail to think that another RepublicanAdministrati... can correct the problem after letting it go until this last few weeks.Continuing with the same old thing is not going to solve the problems...I believe that therecannot be a Reform Republican with new ideas from JM and his buddies. I personally suggestthat the coming months and years will see vast changes in the world economy and socialstructure with this country coming out second rate. We are so spoiled that everybodythinks everything will just flow down from heaven. We have to provide the right intrastructure for success and that means low cost or no cost education thru college, medicalassistance for everybody and low cost energy. Of course our housing bubble was another gift from the Republicans that will make your estatsparse. Obama seems to me to have the most thought out plans for solving someof these problems. And if you think this is socialism just look at the socializationof our investment and banking community by the Republicans...LETS CALL A Spade a Spade. AND NOT LIVE IN THE FUTURE LIKE WE HAVE BEEN LIVING.....MarvinMBA

      People Still Have To Spend: Eleven Dividends for Even Conservative Investors
      Wow...looking for dividends in a downdraft economy is very sporty. In fact I bet the overall return for the next 5 years for the stocks cited will be negative. There are no safe havens in this economy. I sugged CD's that pay say 4.5% as a better bet...at least you know where your money is and what you are going to get.....save yourself and be conservative...MarvinM...

      Euro, British Pound Hitting Lows
      If you really want to know where any currency is visavisa the dollar just take a look at what the purchasing power parity is suppose to be an you can find out what the long term valuation should be....I suppose our downdraft here in the US gives us the edge at least that seems to be happening right now and of course it explains the difference...MarvinMBA

      Jeremy Grantham on 'The Curse of the Value Manager'
      This seems like a very risky time to be making market calls...in my opinion we have not seem the worst of the decline among all sectors. As earnings come out for the next few quarters its going to scare the pants off of investors. Business layoffs are just starting in my opinion...unless M! starts moving higher who is going to take us out of this downdraft and start job formation and a baseline to the Real Estate downdraft. I really think you are a couple of years premature in your comments because the problems are going to get significantly worst on main street...MarvinMBA

      New Economic World Order: U.S. No Longer On Top
      What difference does it make...The Bush Administration destroyed our
      credability a long time ago. Our so called allies joke about this administration and now that we caused this economic downdraft our
      reputation is further destroyed.

      How much power we will be able to project (military and economic) is
      certainly up for grabs and we will not know until this whole mess
      moderates and things look clear....I'd say its going to take a few
      years to sort this stuff out. Meanwhile try to develop personal strategic
      plans and tactics to cover your personal life on what projected
      problems could face you and your family in the future...start planning
      now...you will have a couple of years before we know what this country
      is going to be all about....MarvinMBA
