      Morgan Stanley: Is It Paradise Lost for Brazil?
      Warren Buffet gets whacked periodically. He took a bath in foreign currencies before. Since he is basically a bull market genius, I'll put my money on the head of the government as to the best predictor of what happens.

      Recession Will Be Short and Shallow
      I've heard it all. He says, without a scintila of evidence to back his platitude, 'Recessions rarely happen when everyone expects it'??? What kind of Bushite bull is this guy buying into, or should I say selling? Hold on to your hats. This time, the sky really is falling.

      Ten Things You Can Worry About
      As a former broker, I don't trust 'wall street' to do anything but lie, cheat and steal from anybody stupid enough to believe that trees grow to the sky. In case you hadn't noticed, hedge funds are not regulated and the managers get overpaid to bet the farm and lose nothing when they loose your (the investors") farm.

      World Crisis Not Dissimilar to 1929-1932
      I agree that we are heading for very bad times but, it is elementary that when assets simply evaporate (are written down or "off") that deflates the money supply and hence deflation. Even helicopter Ben may not be able to counter such, if, as you rightly suggest, the rest of the World is so highly intertwined. Hence, although all money is relatively worthless, as financial assets decline, so will the price of gold. Sadly, there are no good long term bonds [which during the last great D where the best way to sit it out]. Ergo, today, I like good farmland somewhere safe, with a year round growing season. Buy land from me in Texas.

      Losing All Respect for the System
      Free trade is a platitude that the modern-day robber barons use to hide their own no-bid contracts on the backs of working fools who believe their lies. Any honest or real economist knows that unfettered markets lead to predatory practices and monopolies. Look at Airlines. they said deregulation is good for the consumer. Hah. They are all bankrupt and flying with duct tape while the bosses get bonuses. Only when the truth is seen as absolute and not a moving target subject to lies called "spin" will there be any hope.

      It's Time to Focus on the Value of the Dollar
      Neo-cons are old con-men with catch platitudes like free trade and God Bless America. They hate anybody with a college degree and the good sense to let other people live free. All econimists know that free trade ultimately leads to monopolies that restrain trade.

      You haven't said the half of it. There is more greed, corruption and obfuscation now than in the roaring 20's when there was virtually no regulation. The Bushites have dismantled the regs under a pretense that all government is bad. If so, why should they be different. We are heading for a world-wide calamity worse than the Great D, especially in the US since then we at least grew our own food, made our own clothes and knew how to add and subtract. Bill Gates has turned us into a nation of machinists who wouldn't dare run a machine in a factory. Go figure.

      GE's Selloff and the Market's Complacent Reaction
      I liked the article especially the emotional aspect which in truth moves the markets much more than the so-called fundamentals. I would really like to see an article on hedge fund manipulation. My theory is that they are colluding to prop-up an otherwise tanking market, e.g., they get together to have a big up day in the midst of all the downs to try to bolster the hangers on. The idea for hedges was to be long and short and thereby lose less in a losers game, i.e., he who loses least gains the most. Fact is these guys get exorbitant fees for generally being exclusively long stocks, or taking big bets on special situtations. They lose nothing when they lose those bets and the nitwits who pile in are unaware of the risks because there is no disclosure under the rubric of trade secrets. Sounds like the Bush regime to me, and they are both not long for this modern world.

      ETFs Furthest from Their 50-Day Moving Averages
      What is wrong with you people? You sound like sheep that want to see only articles that tell you what to do, without any ability to draw your own conclusions. The article is good since it shows oversold and overbought statistical info, that most people understand as the irrational human behavior element that is most definitely fundamental to all markets.

      Rising Global Food Prices: Trading Guns for Butter
      I thought the article was clear. Only a man without a brain could not see the point. Inflation is much greater than what our Government tells us it is. Kinda like the stories the wire houses tell us about the safety of their crap loan portfolios. The beef is costing more, so maybe you should buy ag funds. Duh

      Barclays Launches a Carry-Trade Currency ETN
      what's confusing? The only thing that seems to be a little bit risky is shorting the lower yielding currencies. The Swiss is a perpetually low yield because they and the rest of the world value it as stable, certainly something to consider when looking for appreciating currency. High rates do not always mean appreciation. Look at Germany after WWI

      The Fed is Deflating: 10 Reasons Why
      I find it rather naive to believe that we can ever again see genuine price deflation without a gold standard and a guarantee conversion price for every dollar printed or loaned. It is true that no other country (maybe Swiss?) have a monetary system even close to that but then we must rely on supply and demand. Why would anybody want to hold dollars except to buy our stuff. Nobody wants it except our grain, a commodity that hardly equates to added value profits. We have turned into a third world supplier of commodities which are not dear like gold or oil. The pendulum between greed and fear has taken us to a point in time where a $3 Trillion cost of a foreign war of aggression (which was supposed to give us cheap oil) has demonstrated the hight of hubris and lies that have become the hallmark of America thoughout the world.

      Seven High-YieldingTax Exempt Dividend Stocks
      Both comments are interesting regarding block trades and market premiums. It tends to rationalize buying the individual issues if you want to avoid both potentials. Then you might actually have to do some homework. When the author worries about investing with less than $5,ooo it is obvious that he needs to learn more before investing anything. Try CD's. It has always been a zero sum game.

      Housing Market Tracker - Small Homebuilders Whipsawed by Credit Crunch
      I don't consider it an article but more of a digest of newsblurbs which is fine as they appear to relate to the title which is deceptive since, it buys into the corporate apologists who suggest that nobody saw it coming and that it is because of a "credit crunch" or "liquidity" crisis. It's predicated on a pretext that 40-1 leverage is acceptable and lending to folks who could never pay the loan is not predatory loan sharking. I hope every bank that did it goes down suing the bosses who caused it. Then we'd have a really free market economy. It won't happen as long as the billionaires at the top own the Republican's that incouraged the pillage.
