Wednesday Outlook: Commodities, Global Markets

Breadth and volume are key to true rallies. This is not a sustainable rally by any metric except the ruby slipper metric. No this isn't Kansas Dorothy, and we're not going home.

Tuesday Outlook: Commodities, Global Markets

Volume is truly key here because this action is so easily manipulated by "Da Boys." The grating thing is they're doing it with our (taxpayer) money. Does Timmy really want to release the Stress test results? Please. We shall see. It' still too early but, this may be the beginning of the new Epic Inflation Machine. The dollar index is sliding, prices are rising across the board. Commodities anyone?

Demark indicators are used to anticipate trend reversals.

Nonsense,
Turn off the PlayStation and read a book. Learn a little more about charts before commenting. I am certain it is nonsense to the ignorant. David Fry is one of the best informed, most straight talking authors on the SA sight. Get a clue!

Friday Outlook: Commodities, Global Markets

Congress wastes the taxpayers' time going after government employees (technically 80% gov. stake). If senate goes along, the courts will likely declare it unconstitutional. The lawmakers need to focus on the deregulation issue that allowed this abuse. So GS was hedged against an AIG bankruptcy. Who insured it? AIG? Are we certain bankruptcy would have been worse? Glass Steagall or something better, (unlikely, I know) must be (re) instated. This keeps the giddy bankers aware they are playing with other people's money. They smeared the line like a one year old with his birthday cake. Lax regulation, when everyone was flush with cash, home values only rising, money was free, -that's what got us here as greed ruled the day. We must go From '08, '09 back to depression era regulatory policy.The deja vu all over again thing (thanks Yogi). We must blame ourselves, not the least of which: Phil, Alan, Billy, Bobby and "under the big" top Sandy. I am certain none feel personally responsible, as the "Maestro" has already stated he is not. Hold on kids inflation is coming.

The bankers must be reined in. We should start with rational regulation where responsible adults can trust the veracity of what comprises AAA rated securities. Those irresponsible parties must be held accountable. Conflict of interest is pervasive on all sides, from government to regulator to business . This seems to escape everyone's attention. It's all public money now folks, the public trust must be upheld. We are ten years hence from repealing Glass Steagall. Everything is in shambles now because greed overrode every other aspect of life. The Fed has too much power. congress should work to rein this in. Glass Steagall, or whatever replaces it, must be enacted to require people to do what greedy people cannot do for themselves: -the right thing. Split them up. Preserve the public trust.
