      Bull or Bear Market?
      bottom line: "...we must keep our minds open to the possibility that the market may be at a bottom, or trying to bottom. I doubt it, but I don't know."

      i doubt this is "the" bottom also, but i, also, don't know

      since we're not backstopped with a blank check while collecting multi-million dollar salaries (at least not me :-) - then i have to actually take responsibility, gauge my risks, and take my positions

      hopefully some sudden rule change won't then take away anything i may make :-)

      Bond Ladders vs. Layering with Bond Funds
      great info; many people i've read say it's preferable to own the actual bonds than have shares in bond funds, esp re maturities and safety - thanks!

      Why Big Mortgage Losses Are Here To Stay
      entrapping people into debt, then blaming them for it, is an old con game

      Bill Gross: Treasury Will Have to Buy Fannie/Freddie Shares
      i wish all writers would begin substituting "taxpayer" for the words treasury and government when speaking about these bailouts - let's get the truth out there, we're gonna pay anyway....

      very true re both parties at fault, and the irony that each new group runs on "change" yet changes nothing except you in office benefits

      Schwarzenegger Orders State Workers Cut to Minimum Wage
      when the worker can "also" tell the govt and creditors that they will no longer receive the tax and re-pmt receipts they had been receiving, but a min amt doable for that worker, then there will be parity and justice in our country

      John Hussman: Can the Emergency Housing Bill Be Fixed?
      a blank check priviledge to anyone in govt is irresponsible no matter to whom it's to no matter for what it's for

      relinquishing our fiscal responsibilities via our elected representatives who elect not to do their job is a waste of our democracy and constitution

      Searching for the Best Bond ETF
      excellent article and information, very educational and useful, thank you

      inflation, of course, is a more than valid concern re return – but assuming inflation will remain a problem forever is like assuming the stock market will rise or fall forever also

      in a deflationary environment, which I believe is more an issue than most people do I think, these type funds of these type interest paying treasuries have been and would be in demand

      the belief in perpetual inflation is useful for someone wanting or trying to create monetary dilution, keeping everyone focussed on spending and accepting inflation as normal

      at my age, and thus for all practical purposes, this may be true :-) however, I tend to believe that deflation alternates w/inflation in our current fiat environment (and may well have under the various gold standards, I’m not sure)

      thus, re the treasuries value, I think, like most everything else, they’ll vary over time

      and gold is great, literally; but I tend to prefer it for insurance at this point, over any increase in value; the insurance being storage of value

      and toilet paper (as per the commentator above), well, I try not to be out of it :-)

      info re international treasury etf's would be interesting, esp if they were for countries w/as close a risk base to that of the u.s. as could be found

      Bye Bye Bear - Cramer's Mad Money (7/30/08)
      i enjoy watching cramer at times, but...

      re: "Cramer also noted strength in...diverse companies as...as further evidence that the market is beginning to turn. How’d they do it? Price increases....those price increases will stay put...." -

      one question, how we gonna pay for all this with wages stagnant? :-)
