Stock Market to Bernanke: Hints Aren't Good Enough

If the powers to be think the overnight federal funds at 2.00% is a problem, they need to rethink their strategy.. Banks aren't lending to one another because of something other than the level of interest rates. You know what might help more than lowering the funds rate, lowering the rates that MAIN Street pays.. How about some help there instead of on Wall Street..

Looking for Hope

Recessions are healthy.. We have needed one for a few years now, the longer you prop the market up so there isn't one, the harder the market goes down...

Dear Ben: 5 Suggestions for Saving the U.S Economy

Investors Throw on Rose Colored Lenses Following Fed Cut

Loved your comment on the Rating Agencies.. Why should we believe anything they tell us number one, and why should we believe anything we hear from these Wall Street firms.. Sure there is money to be made by be on the right side of the short term trade, but there sure is the potential to lose a lot over the long term.. The truth is still not out on how bad thier balance sheets really are.. Timing their earnings release to be on a FOMC statement day is interesting in itself..

Watch Out For More Bouncing Dead Cats

Right on - It is so pathetic what happened this fall with the stock market after the August correction - rallying to 14,000+ but then giving it all back.. Once again we will see that as you say.. Main Street needs help not Wall Street.. Savers need to be rewarded not those who spend - spend - spend.

Coincidence or Cause: Market Performance on Days When Bernanke Speaks

It shows the market has lost ALL confidence in what he says and waht he does. Currently he is following in Greenspan's footsteps creating another bubble.. Money is and has been too easy. Trouble began way before last August, but that was the first time the public realized that maybe something was wrong.. But what did the markets do during the fall, reach new highs.. where was the Fed then, were they discouraging this movement in stocks.. NOPE.
