Why the Stock Market Should Crash

Most of this commentary seems to reflect and describe just
exactly where the majority voting american public has through
its unfortunate lack of education and awareness as to how to
insist on responsible government leadership brought us. To the brink of a tragic economic and social collapse.

In what should be a prosperous advanced democracy, such a
dark path is trully a useless waste of human potential that will
be embossed in the annals of history for centuries to come,
that is if the human survives!

the

Option Trader Friday Outlook: Is the Dollar Going UUP?

The federal reserve board here is quite expert at creating
bubbles, commodities are merely the latest convenient
vehichle for their specious economic philosophy, though I
agree with Prechter that gold can be tricky and may be wildly
overvalued at present. But there is also the argument that
it is highly undervalued as well. Time will tell which argument
is most accurate as this market continues to give signals that
perhaps a severe correction is at hand with a strong dollar rally
certainly fitting that scenrio, it may not be far off at all!

Marc Faber: Equities Safer than Dollars

It is always refreshing and informative to hear Mr. Faber speak on
economic issues and the economy. I thought I was the only one
who recognized that our government houses 'fiscal criminals' as
a matter of course!

But as they say, "it takes two to tango"! Of course only a brain- washed, apathetic public allows such vermin to be elected and
appointed in the first place!

Why Is Paul Volcker Being Ignored?

I have wondered about Mr. Volker and was quite amazed to see
him sit around in the present administration having to wait on
queue to see the president! In my opinion he is the only person
in anyway connected to the present administration who could
possibly offer substantive policy conerning the economy based
upon both his performance in the Carter and Reagan administra-
tions and his background.

My question is why he has waited so long to speak up concerning
economic issues. What does he have to loose? His 'job', his
popularity. I don't think so.

Strong Start for Bull Market, But Investors Are Nervously Eyeing the Exits

Sir,

You don't define whether this is a secular bull market or a
cyclical bull rally in a larger trend bear market secular in
nature. As a consequence your information could be harmful
to inexperienced investors who don't have the educational
background in market cycles to differentiate between the two!

Try to be instructive as well as analytical in your future articles.

Thank you.

Marc Faber: Buy a Machine Gun

"I wonder WHO on earth would have faith in the U.S.
Administration? Certainly, not someone who thinks".

But Mr. Faber, wasn't that the reason Adolph Hitler once
made the comment before the start of World War II that
it is the people who don't think (according to a History Channel
presentation) who make it so wonderful for the governments
to do as they please?

That certainly explains the present crisis concerning central
banks that have been pointed out by Ludwig Von Mises and
others but ignored by the people who don't think, the majority
voting populations here and in Europe where all this stuff
orginated? They came to this continent then conterfeited and
devalued the lucrative wampum of the Pequot Indians before
massacring them and taking their land! The present world
economic malaise has its roots centuries deep and needs to
be thoroughly studied and evaluated by all those who do think!
A competent educational system in so called democracies
should have provided truthful historical instruction concerning
this and other issues years ago and affluent citizenry should
have demanded such whenever it went lacking. Unfortunately
a brainwashed public lacks the awareness and presence of
mind to demand such things of their elected officials in the so
called modern "democracies". They apparently find other things
more important to their everyday concerns such as having their
neurtotic fantacies satisfied and thier hedonistic desires indulged.
Do the "hard working Australians function in that manner in their
day to day existence, I don't think so.

All this is a sad testiment to a lie that the people who don't think either cannot or do not want to see or hear about!

Why a Repeat of the Great Depression Is Unlikely

I find some of these assertions rather humorous in light of
historical cycles since 1873 here in which depressions have
followed on the heals of inflation followed by the deflation of
credit. "hints" of an upturn in global trade, U.S. and Iran making
peace?, these are more fantasy when one realistically exams
euro-american meddling in the middle east since before the
Balfour agreement . As far as Iran building a nuclear bomb is
concerned, I certainly hope Mr. Mesquita's "computer model"
is far more reliable and accurate than those used by U.S. banks
in projecting exotic stock market packages before foisting them
on the American public! "Market analyst's radar screen'', where
was this wonderful device in October 2008, or had you noticed
what happened to our indexes at that time? And the final dot on
all of this "Highly unlikely the world is goint to repeat the mistakes
of the 1930's", get a life fella, aren't you reading the headlines on
unemployment? And incidently, according to a study of over three
hundred years of market movement of British and American stock
markets indicates quite clearly that from 1720-1932 there occured
three depressionary declines in the markets. This study is based
on data from the British-American Stock Price Record 1700-2002!
Go study it, real hard!

Tally ho!

Time to Take Profits?

Mr. MacDonald,

Though elliott wave indicators show the possibilities for a second
wave up before a rather dramatic decline, even Bob Prechter is
cautioning investors not to expect more from the market "gods"
than they have already allotted us since march!

I'm inclined to agree.

Boom or Bust Cycle: Where Are We Now?

I will obstain from personalities here and merely state that I agree
this market is rigged (as most things in the United States have
been since its inception....find the word democracy written in any
of the founding documents and I'll pay you, cash!). One point of
disagreement with the author however: "compared to l929-32?, no
not as bad". Oh really? Did the national debt reach the level it is
now at, even in comparative terms? Were we a debtor nation (world's largest) as we are now? Were there awesome amounts
of toxic debit floating around unaccounted for on bank and business
balance sheets?

I think not!

2009 Is Looking an Awful Lot Like 2008

Summers,

It is not often that we hear the truth about these market
reality warnings. I have observed this irrational rally and
agree wholeheartedly with your projection.

Again, thank you for the advice.

Market Cycles: A Look at the Historical Evidence

Mr. Van Knapp,

Congratulations on an excellent article. Most investors and sub-
scribers to this web-site (seeking-alpha.com) should read and
re-read its several times, I certainly will. I wish I had this kind of
informational knowlege ten years ago, it could have made a
world of difference in my investing experience which has been
fairly profitable, but would have been much better with the input
you've provided here.

Unfortunately, so many have the tendency to ignore points of view that differ from their emotionally held beliefs and will no doubt find a way to ignore or invalidate your excellent educational presentation.

As Robert Prechter has said, people we be what they will be and
find emotionally based reasons to support that.

Again thankyou for the information.

Why Another Stock Market Collapse Could Be Imminent

Mr. Summers,

"A debt bubble cannot be reflated by issuing more debt. A second
grader can undertand this......"

Your comment is quite true, however only a second grader who
has been taught sound economic principles can understand how
a efficiently functioning free market works. Of course the Austrian
shool of economics doesn't believe a free market can exist when
it is manipulated by some outside agency, government, etc.,

The reason college grads "don't get it" is because they recieve in
their education the Royal Lord, Sir Meynard Keynes brain washing
programing! Aside from from an inflate your way out of economic
trouble consciousness, their training does not allow them to think any other approach to economic challenges exists in the reality of
this world, such as it is. As long as our educational system remains in its primitive state, all the degrees in the world will not
change their thinking.

How much less do you think the average american stock investor
who pops on CNBC's talking head's knows why this economy is
headed for a cliff? If millions of voters can be fooled by banking
tycoon J. P. Morgan and his cronies into ratifying a bill legalizing
the present central banking system here (the FED), why expect
them to know or want to know or hear anything other than that
which indulges their desires and caters to their emotions and fantacies? (like one commentator who sarcastically said you
would probably be unhappy if the recession does end!)
No wonder Adolph Hitler is reputed to have said "it's so wonderful
for the governments that people don't think."

No doubt this is why investor sentiment and psychology determine market movement certainly not logic or the present state of the economy.

Sad but true!

Fibonnaci Calls: The 38.2% Retrace Is Approaching

I'm inclined to agree with the 1932 comparison from by own
research there are a number of stunning correlations between
this particular market's cyclical rally and depression era bear
market rallies. At least the possibility exists historically for an
extension after this corrective pause.

s

Cash for Clunkers May Cost Up to $45,354 Per Vehicle

None of this stuff being pulled off by this punk government should
surprise anyone at all! Mis-education and ignorance apparently
have been the objective of the entire educational system here
for quite some decades now. Even college business graduates have never heard of Ludwig Von Mises or Austrian economics because of their "Keynesian economic" brainwashing!

Again I say Adloph Hitler was quite correct: "it is such a wonderful
thing for the governments that people don't think!"

Need we know anymore than that to explain the problems here? I
think not!
