      Real Prices for New Cars Keep Going Down
      Your suggestion that somehow cars are cheaper does not conform with your admission that purchasing power has eroded over the years. You somehow suggest the impossible as a benefit, i.e., if there was no inflation, then cars wouldn't cost so much. Duhhh !!! No wonder they call Econ the dismal science. Truth is they massage the numbers to give the result the want to push. When Nixon got 200 of them together to figure a policy, they could not agree.

      Dear Professor. Please explain the suggestion that the "real" price of cars is somehow less than their current prices. You are either terribly confused or else you are looking for suckers. Real pricing is what we pay.Using a govt rigged index does not cause the car dealer to sell us a car for any less than the market.

      Like I said, anybody who believes govt numbers or touts them as gospel is either out of touch or things that you are. Nobody with their eyes open can tell an honest many that the price of a new S class Benz is lower in inflation adjusted price today than it was in 1978

      Portfolio Planning and the Lost Decade
      A bunch of hooey. The positive comments are probably from cohorts. Its always easy to rationalize anything with a proprietary model that nobody can see. The bottom line is that the "lost decade" is real, just like the 70' and yes, let's not forget the 30's from which the Dow (when adjusted for inflation) did not recover until 1981 [nearly 50 years later]. Just maybe all you wishful thinkers will be wishing that the go-go 80's and 90's were just the last hurrah for a dying empire. If you want diversification, try another country

      Financials Give Up Most of Bull Market Gains
      This article should have a moral. Since it may be too obvious for some bull-market geniuses to see, I'll supply it. Since the financial gurus of our world can't manage their own shareholders' loot, why in the world should any investory look to them for advice to run theirs?

      Crude: Where's the Demand Destruction?
      The article is good because it brings to mind two important facts. China has a generally planned economy and with such planning they continue to grow and use more oil. Our idiots in this country should learn from it.

      Asian Market Strategies for Stagflation
      the Dr.'s answers made sense but I was hoping that he might also have liked some of the emerging market debt obligations since stocks are very iffy if not downright suicidal at this point in time.

      Bond Expert: Wednesday Outlook
      the commenator may be right about some facts but mistaken about the conclusion. I could ask the same question about anybody dumb enough to buy bank stocks in this market. inflation risk is only one type of risk and they called Charles Merril crazy in 1929 for selling out and buy long term treasuries.

      Supply-Side Fairy Tales
      I am always perturbed by Monday-morning-quarter... that use numbers to prove their absurd premises. Entrepreneurs start businesses out of their own self-interest to make money. Its near impossible to put a corporation in jail for crime so as a society, we use money judgments to try to keep them square. Since there are many loopholes for corporate bosses, its only fair that corporations pay taxes when the make money, just like a sole prop does. If you don't want to pay taxes, move somewhere without them.

      Yield Hunters Struggle
      Good article but could go further and explain the paradigm of yield and how it relates to risk overall. Indeed, the market doesn't trust bankers and that's why we demand the dividend. The fact is, they are diluting the shares and the yields won't last long.

      Bond Expert: Tuesday Wrap
      The article might have been interesting if it did not presume every investor (even those like me with years of experience and professional licensing) understood all his jargon. If he wants suckers who simply think he knows because they can't understand him, good luck, but they wont have dough.

      There Is Plenty to Fear in This Market
      All you bull-market geniuses will be eating crow and asking why the stock market does not always go up, [as the manipulators have told you]? In the long term, we're all dead. If you have profits, take them. If wishes were horses, all beggars would ride. Don't spurn caution.
