Five Predictions for This Market

American corporations --- Beggars Banquet

Complacency and Lack of Support Highlight Need for Risk Management

Thanks for the Charts.

Stimulus Is a New Deal Gone Steroidal

the demonstrated color of patriotism by republicans --MASSIVE RED INK

Why I See Long-Term Deflation

Supply and Demand

If a house drops in price to a point it becomes affordable doesn't that create demand when purchased?

If demand for oil drops from 89 million barrels a day to only 75 million barrels a day isn't that still a requirement that needs to be fulfilled? And isn't that a demand that has a diminished supply ongoing?

Are 6 + billion people going away?

This Recession's Not That Bad - And We're More Than Halfway Through

Good articule. The recovery though will mostly involve Australia, China, Brazil, Canada. The USA is dead until we take care of our debt and energy problem. Two dollar tax per gallon and the 13 trillion dollar debt is gone in only 20 short years +/- .

Last Thursday Was the Bottom - It's Time to Get Back in

Go gold,silver, oil,& coal stock for now -screw the bank Bast%*ds.Jim Rogers was right about US banking system. Enter at your own peril.

Did President Bush's Speech Spark the Rally?

The Bush speech, real intent was to keep the market from blowing through key support levels...
lame speech for a lame Duck ...........and I voted twice for him.

The bush team failed on so many levels


Vietnam in the desert

Largest Real Estate bubble in history

No energy plan - 700 billion per year overseas oil bill

No serious effort, at all, to Veto excessive Government Spending

............thereby setting the stage for intense pressure on the dollar and supra-inflation.

Where are the regulators?
The safeguards?

What is the FED, SEC, and Treasury paid for?
For that matter in light of 9-11 what are the CIA, NSA,and the FBI paid for?
See a pattern here?

Paul Krugman + Al Gore = The Way Forward

Crossroad
USA consumption of overseas energy has stripped our cupboards bare, BOT(700 Billion US$ in oil 12 month period). Just because Saudi Oil may be cheaper(again) does not mean we should utilize, we will do so at our peril, and ultimately our decline(demise). T.Boone Pickens plan must be enacted post haste. United States transfer of wealth for energy , combined with Gov. budget debacle, and Real Estate implosion has brought serious danger to OUR ability to decide OUR future. To climb out of this hole we need to transform our Energy usage, developing new uses for energy resources that we in the USA have in abundance. This will create NEW Focus, NEW Technology, and New Jobs for Americans.

--this transcends politics people--get real !

The Current Economic Crisis: Hell, Meet Handbasket

BEARX --is my bet for downward trend in US Market and dollar decline. Plus a basket of cheap Chinese companies that are internally driven not externally--- example HNP (power & dividend), SNEN (natural gas fueling stations), APWR( windpower), SOL(solar component), SDTH( chemicals),JST (transformers) etc etc there are hundreds of great Chinese stories out there--low PE with great potential ...AND potent currency appreciation probability. For what it's worth.

I ain't got the guts to short--like do TBT or TLT -- but love the idea.

The Deflation Debate: Why This Time Is Different

China and India are just a large part of the picture, the other players to become important are adjunct to China and India growth story, Smaller in population but RESOURCE rich with good budget and strong currency futures, Canada, Australia, New Zealand ,and Brasil are in great position to have strong future. We in the USA are dead in the water for at least 3 years maybe more..... This, sadly is the beginning of a protracted dollar decline thanks to bad Fed policy and Government miss-allocation of resources.

Study Real Estate trends from 2002- 2007 the real estate bubble is our cement overcoat -no part of the country was/is unaffected by its' massive inflated rise- Rural Montana, Idaho, to Rural Vermont, and Nowhereville upstate New York, Texas and Nevada wasteland to the swamps of Florida the speculators are being crushed. Add this to the Wall Street 'Black Hole' of 30 to 1 leverage -trouble in River City.

Welcome to your Financial Halloween!

When will the Dollar roll over?

The Shallowest Generation

.....my Moma told me never borrow more than I can payoff in one lifetime..

Ultimate Economic Showdown: China vs. the U.S.

The Chinese think they can smooth out the bubbles that we in the US have a proclivity to produce lately ?Good deal.

Barak Obama better have a game plan, because as it stands we are knee deep in it.
Paul Volker for FED HEAD and T. Boone Pickens for Energy Sec would be a nice combo to start.

Consider_This -interesting comment on China

Impending Inflation? The Global 'New Deal' All but Guarantees It

Money becomes debased by the printing. No value, as it isn't based on real labor or resource but printed as it were. Just because a government calls it money doesn't make it have real value.

If the US ( Dollar ) government was in budget surplus we could feel more at ease. But it ain't and here come the Crows home to roost !

Global Liquidity Crisis: What Now?

Iran -Israel war. The weird thing there is it would bolster the dollar.
