      Apple's iPhone Shortage Is Probably Just That
      Love it. First they all said where are the phones going. Then they said, Apple is reducing production. Then the analysts were all cutting sales estimates saying no way they make 10 million in sales by 2009. Now there aren't enough phones, so once again it must be something bad.

      The Fed is Deflating: 10 Reasons Why
      You can debate the technical definition of inflation and perhaps that is what the world markets consider relevant; however, to John and Jane Doe living in Anywhere, USA, facing flat to 2 percent pay increases year over year and costs (fuel, housing, energy, food, education, healthcare) increasing at rates unseen before EVER (on the whole), your debate is pointless. They suffer from a lower and lower living standard and, assuming I understand what you say, that will continue without abatement for the foreseeable future.

      Call it inflation, call it deflation...doesn't matter...they pay more for less.

      Double Whammy: Bank Card Companies May Be Next


      Dunno - playing devils advocate...in general credit card rates are high, but banks have been desperate lately. Lifetime of transfer rates have been around 3.9% for the last few months. Miss a payment or two and I'm sure they stick you hard, but 3.9% is lower (even tax adjusted) than any fixed rate mortgage you will ever get.

      Did the Fed and GSEs Avert a Crisis?
      I bought my house here in Tulsa about 5 years ago. 3100 sq. ft. Custom home. Today, it is worth approximately what I paid for it (plus a few percent at most, I'd guess).

      No appreciation = no depreciation. I'm sure much of the nation is like my area.

      Ask the common man what to do...then go the other way.

      Looks like most people are bears...

      The End of U.S. Investing as We Know It?
      Uh, I think big...1 million barrels to the strategic reserve isn't thinking very big. It can hold over 700 Million barrels and currently holds well over 650 million barrels. 1 Million is a drop in the bucket.

      BTW, that is enough for a couple months of imports (12 million per day). So, if they would just USE/SELL a million barrels a day for a few months, we could cut our imports by about ten percent and the world price of oil would PLUMMET.

      Of course, Bush's friends would lose money. That would suck for them - and THAT is why he won't do it.

      Was That a Short-Covering Rally?
      No, it wasn't. The Vix dropped way down. This was a fundamentally different rally.

      The Coming Crash of 2008: A Result of Overleveraging
      Seems we are losing the state power battle as well. I'm pretty sure Mr. Bush hasn't extended me any NEW rights and I know for sure he has taken some away and feels that HE is "the decideder."

      Next Up: Lehman Brothers?
      Salem Witch Trials. I think 6 months at the Fed Trough will fix them up.

      The Big Whoosh: Is This The Beginning?
      It is still just a confidence issue. The loans being marked to pennies on the dollar are obviously worth far more. Sure, you might be seeing more defaults, but those will never exceed 10 % and there is still value in the asset.

      I think this is just a Bear Raid on Bear - in the spirit of the Salem Witch Trials. All you need do in this market is point the finger and shout something about the balance sheet and if you get heard by the right rumor mongers that company will go under.
