  • Why This Rally Is Unsustainable [View article]
    The Dow was up 0.54% yesterday (5/1/09). That's a 194% annual rate of gain.

    Between 10:22 and 11:25 AM, it was up 1.10%. That's a 130,827% annual rate of gain!

    Between 1:35 and 1:40 PM....well, you get the idea. I hope.

  • What Obama Needs to Know about Tim Geithner, the AIG Fiasco and Citigroup [View article]
    What would happen if all the CDSs were declared legally null, void, invalid, and unenforceable? Are they providing any overall value in the current situation?

  • History Suggests the Financial Bottom May Be Near [View article]
    In the tech bust of 2001+, Cisco stock lost 90% of its peak value. If you bought it when it was down 80%, you would have lost half your money.

  • Who Benefits When the Fed Floods the System with Liquidity? [View article]
    There are 3 choices:
    1. Raise taxes to cover expenditures.
    2. Cut expenditures to fit in tax revenues.
    3. Spend more than your tax revenue and borrow the difference.

    Which one we as a nation have been doing, not just for years but for decades, is obvious to all. It has accelerated in recent decades:
    * When Reagan took office, our national debt was $1 trillion.
    * When Bush I left office 12 years later, it was $5 trillion.
    * In Clinton's 8 years, it rose to $6 trillion.
    * By the time Bush II leaves office, it will be at or close to $10 trillion.

    An honest solution: Congress and the President decide how much to spend, and the federal income tax rates are automatically indexed up or down to produce a balanced budget (and maybe even pay back a little of that debt).
