In 2010 It'll Be Jobs, Jobs, Jobs

I guess it's unfortunate then, that there won't be any, any, any.

Expect Further Earnings Upside as the Recovery Unfolds

You mean CAT can fire even more workers?
I thought they were already pretty lean, but I guess there's more employees to fire
Another 25k employees let go could mean a huge beat come earnings season...................

The Earnings Season Debacle that Wasn't

Yes, imagine that if fantasy was reality, then reality would be allowed to stay fantasy.
What about all the BAD debt on the...
Never mind.
It sure must be nice.....................

Are These Earnings Really Cause for Celebration?

Ten reasons not to be short the U.S. stock market
1)Stress tests conducted by our independently-minded government showed that "WITHOUT A DOUBT, BANKS DON'T NEED MORE THAN 75 BILLION." Not one cent more!!!

2)Housing showing signs of stabilizing and will bottom ANY HOUR NOW

3)Obama will create 5 million jobs(speaks for itself)

4)I saw a crowd of people hangind around by California Pizza Kitchen this Sunday that just two months ago WERE NOT THERE!!!

5)#4 shows that the consumer is showing confidence Ron Jeremy couldn't match-I mean, A WHOLE CROWD!!

6)The government knows what they're doing

7)The stimulus plan's money is making it's way through to poor institutions that unfortunately got caught up in this mess like banks and auto.

8)Market is rallying and we will see DOW 10k by the end of the year.

9)The recession is over- Today 9 guys on TV told me it was (just wish I still had my job, but no one gets everything they want. BUT AT LEAST THE RECESSION IS OVER)

10) Most of the crisis probably never even happened. Don't believe everyone you read or see on TV-trust me on this one.

We're in a Hot Potato Market
