U.S. Dollar: Time for Deeds, Not Words

'We believe in a strong dollar' ... has been the 'mantra' of our
Treasury Secretaries for decades now. And take a look at a chart of
the dollar ... from 1950 .. or pick your own date. This is not just
Geithner ... he is just a parrot for the administration ... like all the
other treasury secretaries before him.

Market Cycles: A Look at the Historical Evidence

Excellent post David. I agree 100 % with you. It is very important
for investors not to be 'locked in' to a certain time-length view of the
market. I lived and invested thru the 70's ... there were some TERRIBLE
markets then ... but there were opportunities for the 'long' investor as
well as the short investor. One had to pay attention. In my view ... what
has hurt many investors ... professional as well as amateur ... is that the
secular bull market from 82 to 2000 ... lulled many (most?) to 'sleep' and
'buy the dips' became the byword. Obviously ... that works pretty well in
secular bull market ... but not so well in a cyclical bull inside a secular bear.

Harry Dent uses cycles to predict many things. I recommend his books.
Again ... great post David ... thanks.

The Consumer Is Not Back, But Thanks for the Markup in Stock Price

I love it... read it a couple of times... sent it to friends.
I like the part about us washing clothes in the streets ...

You have a great 'feel' ... for the idiocy of the markets and
CNBC clowns.

And ... you are 100 % correct !!

As Marc Faber said recently 'the United States is following the Zimbabwe
model'. We sure are. I guess we get the 'leadership??' we deserve.

Good charts.

Housing Collapse Caused the Current Crisis?

The obvious 'solution' to to let the banks fail...
along with the people who borrowed the money ... for those of you who failed economics 101..that is called 'capitalism'.
It is not called 'always bail out the mistakes'.
