How Low Are PE Ratios? A Comment on Mark Hulbert’s Take

It doesn't matter how low the PEs go. The herd will keep running until the herd stops running.

Market Outlook: Seize the Day

Granthan is way early.

Bernanke's Fall from Grace

Jimmy Lathrup, you should read my comments on SA.I have nailed every call so far and will continue to do so because I have the right theory and model.

The Right Way to Encourage Home Ownership

Buying the home is just the beginning of the costs.Homes cost a lot to properly maintain. Put an equal amount of income floor under everybody (so there is no redistribution) and run laissez faire on top of that. Look up my HOW TO FIX THE ECONOMY plan in my SA comments for details.

This Time, We'll Learn the Lesson

'socialism cannot compete' is a friggin idiot. but, in their defense, no one can help the cards they are dealt.


'What we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history".Toynbee maybe.


As I said in 2001, before this is done "stock" will be a dirty word. I think I am going to add "banking" to that list.


I have a plan to fix the whole thing (see all my comments on SA to read it) that will only be accepted when things get bad enough. They will get bad enough, but the Dow could be at 400 by then. People laughed when I told them in May that the market was about to crash, and laughed again when I told them in mid-July that oil would see "$20 before $200". You should take a look.

Four Myths Created in the Financial Crisis

Neo-cons lie with every breath they take. It's their defining characteristic. Many Democrats (like the Clintons) are also neo-cons. Caught lying=neo-con.

Inflation Expectations Plunge by 2% in Four Months

A half trillion is just "spitting in the ocean".

More Fed Reserve Notes Intended for Wall Street

derryl,
First thing to figure out is "what is a government?"

"Government is any entity that claims natural resources and turns them into 'property' by allocating their use and by being willing and able to defend that claim". Whether one guy on the Moon or the Galactic Federation, that definition covers it.

What it also says is that governments own all the natural resources (including humans and sub-governments) within their 'realm of protection'; if you can't defend your claimed resources from ANY foreign invasion, then you don't really own them.

Governments create a tool (called 'money') in order to facilitate exchange. That's all it is. Anybody who wants to argue that "only central banks can create money" is obviously on the payroll of a central banker or a fore-runner of same (as were most of the signers of the US Constitution). I have a plan to fix the economy. Just look at my various SA comments for more info or email alan_jacquemotte@yahoo...

My Radical Stimulus Idea: Temporary Money

ps. I realize that getting logged-in on the classmates.com website is a little bit of a hassle, but once you are on you will find it is a really cool, free networking place. I really like it and I get no compensation for saying so. It's all I use as a webpage especially since I can't figure out how the other sites work). I also have stuff on www,U4Prez.com (under"alajac"), but there are a bunch of neo-cons on that site that are truly obnoxious.

My Radical Stimulus Idea: Temporary Money

By the way,all of the bailout money should go out via equal dollar payments to every legal US resident. THE MONEY ALL ENDS UP IN THE BANKS ANYWAY, so what do we care whether people spend it or save it or send it to Guatamala? Micromanaging is the whole problem. The market is way smarter than any of us so lets get out of its way with the plans and the FDIC insurance and every other form of BS. If something costs too much (like heath care) then we NEED TO CREATE MORE SUPPLY, NOT RATION THE SCARCITY. Why is this so hard for you Earth people to get?

My Radical Stimulus Idea: Temporary Money

I've been posting a somewhat similar plan (albeit on a permanent basis, as the scarcity of viable work is fast becoming a permanent problem).The people who think we have been "living beyond our means" are the same as the townspeople in the movie "Blazing Saddles" who let the black guy take himself hostage. The only reason that we have to pay somebody to create new currency for us is because we are dumb as mud. The dollar is a piece of the "pie" called the UNITED STATES. All that creating more dollars does is cut the pie into more pieces. Why do we need a central bank to do that? My plan calls for $1000 per month of new currency to be issued to every legal US resident. (I have a very interesting argument as to why that monthly payment is justified - compensation for "government privatization of all property" - but mainly it is justified because "that is the only way we can avoid a complete disaster".) The Fed Income Tax will be replaced by a 0.5% debit tax on all electronic transfers, avoidable by use of cash or barter (strictly to get rid of excess currency).


So, the plan: handles the problems with current mal-distribution of resources, gets rid of the IRS, ends tax avoidance, starts paying off the national debt, ends the 'poverty draft', ends illegal immigration (when other governments adopt the system), ends most poverty and crime, enables repopulation of rural areas, and ends the need for both parents to work to make ends meet. Voila.


We can bail out bankers but not ourselves? How stupid are we?


Look up Alan Jacquemotte on the classmates.com website for more info and WRITE-IN "ALAN JACQUEMOTTE" for EVERY office in EVERY election until we get this done.

Are We in Deflation Overload?

I was on deflation from the word go and my calls have continued to be 'dead on' because of it. you can look them up.

Will Low Satisfaction Rate Affect U.S. Election?

The Party in power, since 1789, has been the banker's WAR PARTY.

Will Low Satisfaction Rate Affect U.S. Election?

That big rally was on p-poor volume. This baby is going DOWN BIG.

To those who search in vain for 'job growth',
GET WITH THE 21ST CENTURY:
ROBOTS AND COMPUTERS
DO ALL OF THE ACTUAL PRODUCTIVE LABOR.
All that is left is arts, crafts, service,
and sh*t work that isn't profitable to automate
as long as there are $8/hr wage slaves
lined up for miles for every $8/hr job opening.

You can't get bank transparency when the government is guaranteeing the losses. FDIC and every other kind of government guarantee has to go.

Make the banks earn the bailout by giving them the money via equal-dollar distribution to every legal US resident ($700B divided by 350M=$2000 ea.) Then no other stimulus is needed. They'll have to get transparent and extend credit to earn the deposits.

When all governments issue new currency in this manner, there will no longer be an illegal immigration problem.

Write-in Alan Jacquemotte for US President

to show support for this plan,

and your disdain for the other candidates, who, unlike Alan,

didn't see this coming and don't know what to do about it.
