    • More on Fidelity and ETFs [view article]
      Couldn't agree more! All my cash is at Fidelity but I've gone from using mostly their funds to being entirely in ETFs. They need to get on board ASAP. Ignoring a market this size is lunacy. Aug 08 01:00 PM
    • As Confidence Drops, Americans Shop Cheap [view article]
      Well in case you didn't start out with a pessimistic outlook, reading this article and all of the commentary will certainly get you there. Apr 12 07:01 PM
    • Economic Drubbing Should Subside - Temporarily [view article]
      Richjoy, I agree that the negative perspective helps keep us grounded. I also agree that making a forecast of a market drubbing followed by a depression without any supporting reasons or theories seems to be shouting gloom and doom for it's own sake. I believe Mr Kee has what he considers reasonable supporting information and forecasting models but chose not to share them for some reason. This choice makes the article more skeleton than meat.

      I Think Big's statement "The rest of us will vote in responsible leadership in 2012" is a self-delusion. It ain't gonna happen. The issue is much more complex than that. It's going to take a lot more than a few new faces. I am retired and am seeing huge increases in core costs of living combined with erosion of buying power and little return from my investments. Conceptually, I love Mr Kee's Investment Rate model but even if it worked to perfection, I could not afford what to me is a pretty steep $200 a month fee. This kind of fee to the average investor in these times could only be justified in retrospect. It is hard to know what to do with so many biased and self-serving articles out there.

    • Have Recent Crises Blown a Hole Through Modern Financial Theory? [view article]
      It is very refreshing to finally see the right question being asked and addressed. Was going to congratulate you for being on the right track Roger but later saw that Bill Janeway and his gang deserve the credit. Never-the-less, thanks for the preview. I too look forward to the release of their analysis. I currently have no faith in the accuracy of any of the available financial information. If it is valid at all, it is so only as a "snapshot" as of the moment the data was mined and analyzed. Tomorrow may deliver a vastly different picture for us to digest or regurgitate. Mar 27 10:32 AM
    • Don't Wait for the Official End of the Recession [view article]
      I would love to believe your perspective is accurate. Instead though, I think it is a dangerous invitation to the small guys on main street to prematurely get back in the market and lose what's left of thier shirts. The issues facing us today are far more complex than they were in the time periods you cite. Mar 21 06:46 PM
    • Bear Stearns Given Away, Not Sold [view article]
      When the 4th largest lender fails so dramatically, I can't help believeing that there are many other falling shoes already in the sky on their way down to a crash landing. Mar 17 10:54 AM
    • Fantasy-Based Economics [view article]
      Amen. This is so absurdly obvious even to laypersons that it is hard to fathom supposedly intelligent men spouting this drivel. I want to see a series of actions from our "leaders" that demonstrate they really understand how to get us out of this mess. I am retired and I do not have enough time to recover what I've lost, especially when Washington doesn't appear to have a clue (or a single clear-thinking advisor). Mar 11 09:28 AM
    • It's Time For Economists To Make Way For Pragmatists [view article]
      Excellent commentary and a breath of fresh air. Our political system, particularly in an election year, mitigates against making the kind of hard choices that our economy needs. The "right" choice is not of as much concern as the "popular with the constituency" choice. I no longer have any confidence that our legislators have the will to make the right choices. There is no pain-free solution. The erosion of the dollar and of our nations wealth is a disgrace. We need fewer economists and more people with common sense. Mar 05 09:17 AM
