Why Krugman Is Wrong About the Yuan

I have to agree with this article. Besides war, what does the US export?

Is It Time to Buy? What History Shows

The author makes some valid points. It is best to buy throughout the year and not go "all in" at any moment. I think due diligence is key, look for companies that are best in class and avoid the #2's and #3's of a particular industry. The best in class stocks are more likely to retain their value during any periodic sell off than it's competitors and will lead the way onto recovery. While recovery is probably a way off it is better to start building positions now. Again, not going "all in" at any particular moment is critical as you need to allow yourself some flexibility to pick up even cheaper stocks if the opportunity presents itself. If you are confident in the stocks you have invested in and they go down then buy more.

China Gets It Right, But Hurts America

dr doolittle,

Georgia invaded South Ossentia, Russia responded. This is common knowledge to informed society. I can't for the life of me understand how NATO has reached Eastern Europe. That's the real joke. It's a problem of our own making. However, Russian markets paid dearly for responding.

As far as China's stimulus package, how can one really compare it with America's? China has way more options than us. When you are leveraged to the tilt your options are limited. You dont go with the best option, you go with the least worst or the politically correct one. We would have been better off passing no bailout.

China's Looming Hangover?

The Olympics is actually an interuption to China's everyday business. Once the Olympics are over their cars will back on the on the streets, factories will be running, and people will back to work instead of watching the Olympics, which is very meaningful to the Chinese. I expect a bounce.
