Treasury Bonds: Here Comes the Bull Market Flattener

O.K. we all see the long bond as a bomb waiting to destroy itself. For the moment other nations are buying it in desperation hoping it will keep business and jobs afloat. Everyone knows this is a temporary fix for a problem that no one preceved far enough in advance to make proper changes.
Guys & Girls we all know we have a U.S.A, problem.
We have children in College that hate the foreigners because they work so hard our kids most of them resent the foreigners.
Our Joe public hasn't saved in 35 years big deal he's scared poop now so he's saving a few lousy dollars. Get off this Govt. B/S that savings rates are getting better it's like trying to stockpile food after a atomic attack duh duh.
O.K. forget older people going to live with their kids this is malarkey.
Our so called kids 25 to 45 yrs old,are going to be doing more of the same leaching off mom and dad. Generation (WiDE-SCREEN) as in T.V.for their priorities every toy in creation.
Back to L.T. Bonds it's retired people that have saved the supply of money that the Govt, used via L.T.Bonds to keep the services going.
Well these low rates make insolvent banks make money but they can't lend enough and collect the payments to keep the game above water.
People are not spending except prior to (Back to School) call me "Rodney Dangerfield'
If you don't give retired people enough interest to live on with the eventual inflation who is going to bail them out? We must have a guaranteed rate of 6 percent on 30 year T.bonds. With a tips C.O.L.A. so if we see 1980ish inflation the rates go up to reduce inflation and keep retired people with enough money to live.
I'm certain that you remember that rates on notes were 16 percent and L.T.Bonds between 12,5% and i hear if you were a broker 15 % which i saw 12,5 in the paper but 15% never made it to the paper it was scurried away by the brokers and M.L. etc. long before the public ever had a chance. AU went to 855+
We must bring money back into the savings arena but real money not fiat just printed wet money not even dry yet.
Only Savors have this but they save as it is their way. Not out of temporary fear duh duh.
We must not give our money to corporate America for free by buying stocks as they will not pay dividends and increase profits we are still paying auto workers $50.00 an hour.
We must reward people that have done things right.

Why Economists Messed Up

Come on guys everyone has forgot to ask themselves. I didn't see the bubble coming why should the economic advisors have seen it then and now.
Is w/s just a money pit to suck in novice investors to get free money to use to float businesses during times of distress.
They Don't Provide Jobs For American workers.
So how are real people going to drive the market. The savers have been people that saved for retirement, now mostly older people have earned money that they place for living on deposit.
Where can you go there isn't any place to invest in a income portfolio .
We need jobs or the turnaround will stall like a pig that tries to fly.

Today in Commodities: Dollar in the Driver's Seat

I wish people had the time and the courage to demonstrate. It may not do much good because the game is rigged by the bankers and w/st.
I have am in a position that I did the safe thing.
L.O.L. I paid off my Mort. Now I can't sell so Im locked in. ugh!

Bank Stocks: What Could Still Go Wrong

Just wait stress these tests are to make wall street folks buy the banks stocks on a pop so they get money so they get to keep it when the market goes down again.

Why This Rally Is Unsustainable

There is no future for the small man to invest in wall street and the banks. Even the investment greats of the past know they can't trust anyone with their money anymore.
Wall Street has killed the goose that laid the Golden egg.

The Worst Case Scenario (Someone Has to Say It)

O.K. Where are all you guys going to go? I want to get a fair estimate so i have a chance to survive with my family.Thanks for any feedback.
Market chatter is getting to much attention.
I figure food for a 6 month period and after that if they don't get things working well you better move someplace else. No i really figure i should move before the 6 months but where.
I 'm sickened by America's ways as i knew this was coming and my Corp. pension is worthless the Govt is as bad and if you go some where what makes people think another country will want people from the U.S.A.
The ugly American???? Do you blame them?
Where are yo going to work as a senior citizen really?
I want out now i don't want to wait the banks will take a holiday ordered by the govt and they will share your left over money to keep the riots under control for a few months. Hey yeah call a lawyer! More likely some loyal guy that used to be your boyscout leader from the National guard will follow a govt order call you a threat to society and your house will go up in smoke in 30 seconds and in this way legally the insurance company doesn't have to pay as it will be a act of insurgence a war like event. Your bank account will be frozen like in the 1930's
Folks Find a remote place bring food seeds and fuel and medicine and don't forget to change your address so the govt sends your social security check forwarding it to you and your family. Remember the post man always delivers.
Any savings you have will be used to support the needy and you well your just one of those collateral damages they speak of. Naturally this could never happen this is America not Durfur.
And i'm gonna work as a stand up com-mic so i can laugh myself to death.
The Govt in power right now walked into this mess and it has been brewing for decades so. You'll be like a space shuttle that runs out of fuel just past the half way mark to it's destination and can't turn back or get where it's going for what to survive for another month.What would you do if tomorrow your bank or broker shut down and the govt did what the State govt did last time the insurance companies went bad in N.Y.S. and they paid off from the fund 35 cents to the dollar for a life time of work to helpless people? Doesn't anyone want to speak about the reality of what is? What good is a Home owners policy that the ins. cos. are already reneging on by cutting the most important needed benefit for your area because they want to retain capital. you pay for 25 years and then they stick it to you all preplanned and you have no where to go.
They are doing it to your insurance agents policy as well.
If they print this lets see if or how others really feel about this.
Thanks guys for reading this as the market's gobbledygook won't be worth printing or reading later on.

The Worst Case Scenario (Someone Has to Say It)

I know this country and the world is in bad shape however we have to produce food and basic staples electric gas and medicine.
Even if the people can't pay the big banks Citi B.O.A. Wells Fargo etc what will they do sell the repoed homes to foreign investors whom will they sell the homes to no one will have any worthwhile currency to transact business with.We have asituation where we will be in for a hard way to learn to live like we were in a third world nation as we can't rob any materail goods from a third world nation whom would we sell it to and with what acceptible currency would the tranaction be done with, silver gold tey a loaf of bread and a tire for the car and some brake pads.Good night Mrs callabash where ever you are?

.Hey Booyah Man,
Gee whiz The whiz Kid is at it again,

After three of your books i have to say you're letting the three stooge T,V, act get to you.
Have some patience Europe hasn't even figured out where we are yet. relax don't make yourself and people crazy, that take undue risks.

Why China Can't Dump U.S. Treasuries

(From The Retired One)
I will say this there is no reason for China while it is building up it's economic base to dump it's treasuries as the amount of money they make selling to America off sets the looses it takes in inflation over the years.
Remember China has a population that is so big to employ big enough to have cheap uneducated workers making us the toys we buy (expand on that to every piece of needless junk American's spend money on) to be happy and in debt all the time.. As well as highly educated people that can give every American company a run for it's money for many products for industry and consumer items. Americans are not hard working the way we used to be just look at the fact that we are only paying down our credit card debt because we are out of hand. How many times do you think the world will fall for the Garbage we sold them with the C.M.O. and all stuffed C.D.O.with junk bond status holdings. Yeah American's are smart we cut off the trust of England and Germany and all of Europe and Asia selling them packaged fraudulent investments to friends!
That our American College Grads, work hard packaging near worthless investments, screwing countries and people that will wiss on our economic bankrupt graves some day.
Right now for the foreseeable future we need each other and one thing is certain we have to learn to get along.

That is as hard as our American sons work is screwing countries and people that will wiss on our economic graves some day.
What do you thik we will go to war without the money to pay for it against the entire planet? Why don't people wake up and ask X- president George W. Busch why our men and women are comitting suicide in Iraq and Affganistan?
We have the biggest press in the world and we can still only control the public respect so much as we don't live or run this country with the idea of value and honesty for our friends. We have more people on welfare and in prisons than should be. remember their your sons and daughters and docters and lawyers.
We let then bankrupt washington mutual savings bank citi bank and bank of America nd these C.E.O's and bond traders that packaged all this junk are free with millions in bonuses. While Mothers of America where were you when they put Martha Stewart in jail for $76,000 dollors?
What about all the C.E.O.'s that have stolen pension funds for millions.
Now Bernie Maddoff 50 billion? ---America the beautifuL --- Beautiful what ?
I'm ashamed to be a helpless person that can't change the ethical or tide of greed that this country has turned into. I don't cry for Argentina
I cry for America ! I very much hope our military people come home to proper care mentally and physically as well..
Lou Dobbs I hope you have the positive effect you want to benefit of our country.
Rush Laumbauch you are a shame to the entire country, and a terrible example to the teenagers that parents are trying to keep out of drugs etc.

Why China Can't Dump U.S. Treasuries

Why would the China or any other country want to hold fiat money from a country like us the( u,s.a.) that can't produce enough products or mine enough raw materials copper silver gold corn wheat at a good profit and price,enough to keep it's people employed and pay it's own way in the world.
This country only produces one thing weapons for war that keeps it profitable.
China won't need to sell just to America it has the whole world to sell and trade with for money and material goods it needs for it's country to run. At least they pay their way not borrow their way into oblivion.

If someone doesn't relinquish this company to a worthwhile knowledgable businessman.
People should stop renewing all contracts for as long as it takes to force them out. I have no investment in this company except that my 1 year old van has a radio with a C.D. player which i have purchased four sets of C.D.'s and a 2 Mb apple thingamagiggie my grandson got me to download several hundred songs and programs on and patch into the system.So many of my friends have been buying this for so long and doing so instead of saving for their retirement each month. It reminds me of Bernie Ebbers of Worldcom.
Now do you really think without clear documentation that after all these years pockets haven't been lined and no real true effort made for the stockholders to know the true use of their investment money. Look it's not broadband internet wide band high defination bull crapola it's just a radio signal.I'm sorry so many have been suckered for so long with no real chance for true success. Nice idea for the Bernie Ebbers of this world remember rent excess space for nest to nothing from empty satellite transmission (unused signal capacity).
Cheap as hell but not off rate useage discount for the customers duh.
The original buyers that knew it was what it is and stopped buying with prudence and expectation of the outcome. good for them they will come out o.k.if they can find buyers willing to wait and hope for a credible buyer and manager. The rest i feel bad for them the weight of that pryamid What i felt was a jab in the back of the stock holders is the exchange saying they were going to do a delisting threatening people.
Gee did they do that to Citi Bank?
I mean just look at the price what is it they have gold tiolet seats or something! I know it's a different exchange but after all is Bernie Madoff near this deal?
America love it or pish on it at least then maybe the grass may grow.

Misleading Gold Headline of the Day

Well it looks like the Fed is going to pay us good old citizens money soon to buy long term treasuries. They already are paying banks the inflation subtracted from the zero or >25 1/4 percent on money given to the banks.
So where do we go from here they are printing dollars like candy wrappers.
About what they will be worth pretty soon.
You that don't save and store for a rainy will see unemployment that makes 600,000 people look like a beer party duh.
I'll think after this mess settles people will say gee gold wasn't all that far out a investment. Nah none of you ever heard of inflation at the end of the tunnel.
