  • Key Factors Driving the Market  [View article]
    Can someone explain this "sideline" money to me. Every time a stock is sold, an equal amount of money is exchanged. For every dollar going to the sidelines via a sale, a dollar must come from the sideline via a purchase.

    I can understand money flowing from bonds to stocks, or cash being added to workers 401k's each month or companies purchasing their own stock.

    What am I missing? What is meant by "sideline" money?

  • Anatomy of a Giveaway, Or Why Stocks Soared Yesterday [View article]
    The only way for everyone to come out a winner is if the asset value eventually returns to it's full price. Since the government probably can not cause another credit bubble to push prices back up, the tool they have control over is inflation. Just hold the asset for a few years while Ben inflates the currency. The private investor wins big. The government escapes it's debt. The big problem is dealing with our foreign investors. Maybe that's why the Chinese are currently buying up California real estate by the bucket load.

  • U.S. Debt Watch: Paths to Repudiation [View article]
    In a democracy, "revolt" happens at the polls. The problem isn't with the federal government, it's with the people. We are getting what "we" (collectively, not me or you) asked for. What needs to happen is for the people to wake up to the reality of what's happened to them. Unfortunately, a majority is more interested in American Idol than American government today.
