Just a little example: I made 32% profit in 2007, and 32% profit in 2008. I have degree in Mathematics/Computer Science. My track record is better than 99% of so called finance professionals. Does it mean, that I cannot express my opinions at SA?

I support the author here. He has a right to express his opinion, and we the readers have an option not to read it. The article is not terribly informative - but so what? Go to CNBC - you will have US citizens there, and the finance/economics professionals. Just follow their advice. Good Luck!

Fundamental Valuation: How Low Could We Go? http://seekingalpha.com/article/100533-fundamental-valuation-how-low-could-we-go?source=feed#comment-285332 285332 The K-wave will bottom in 2015 as well.
The Mortgage reset mess will bottom around 2013
The P/E may bottom around 5-7 around 2015
The E part of P/E is about to cliff dive with the economy. The earnings will go down another 50% (my educated guess)
This would imply another 75% SP500 hair cut, from where we are NOW - down to 250 level.
Based on this, I would say the SP500 will bottom out in the 300-600 range.
This is going to be a long war, with a lot of blood running the streets. We just entered the second half of the Bear.

We are not Warren Buffets - I wish I had his money and smarts.

Do you want to loose money - listen to Jim Cramer.

The Crash of 2008 http://seekingalpha.com/article/99588-the-crash-of-2008?source=feed#comment-280765 280765
In the longer term, it is my opinion, that we are only half way through the bear market. This is what it feels to me - a rebound, half way through this adjustments.

We baby boomers, need to deflate assets before we retire, so the next generation can live their American dream....

Don't trash Paul K. He obviously is affiliated with the Democrats, but he writes nice articles. Even if you disagree with him, it is a good and intelligent opposing point of view.
I am not fan of Dems, but we need civility in discussion, and Paul has it.

Let's try to put the fire out first before we start blaming the builder for not putting in a sprinkler system 10-15 years ago.

Peter - as much as I respect you, you missing one very important point. This is turning point, end of very important cycle. The public is fed up with constant bailouts. NO MORE BAILOUTS. It is going to hurt a lot, but we need this fire, and these these 'risk blind' morons to burn and collapse.
That's what the Taxpayer is saying. Let it burn, and let it collapse - as a great episode to be remembered, and taught in business schools for generations.

Peter - there are banks in USA, that were well managed. Take for example the US Bancorp. These banks will need to survive. The idea of creating new banks, or capitalizing well managed regional banks, is a great one.

The only people in this land, that want the bailout, are the Wall Street investment banks that screwed up, and the crack addicts (addicted to leveraged capital), like Bill Gross or Warren Buffet (he is up here in derivatives).

The era ended. Let it burn. Let it hurt. It is time to figure it out. You are one of the greatest investors in this country, but you are missing the important point here.

We are bailing rich guys at the expense of poor (taxpayers) guys. What we need is to create sort of USA Bank, in order to loan money to the legitimate borrowers. The moronic US banks don't want to lend - that's fine. Let them go down the sewer, with names of their CEOs casted in stone in the Hall of Shame. The bad and stupid banks need to go, period. We have a clique bailing themselves out at the taxpayers expense.

The next President, should open criminal investigations against: Cox, Paulsen, Bernanke. In my view they all should be behind the bars now: for the reason of corruption of stupidity - does not matter.

I escaped socialism, by jumping across Atlantic. Now what?

The real inflation, takes money from poor to rich. This is what Obama and Hilary propose - various bailouts that will crank up inflation.
I am not going to vote - so don't have any political agenda. I don't like all candidates. They suck.
