What Kind of Market Rally Is This?

It's nice that "they" stepped in and stopped the plunge today. "They'll" stop the decline from going too low. Ahhh, manipulation!

5 Reasons Why I Don't Think This Rally Will Last

The feds/government are good at controlling what you see and hear. They are selling swampland as a good buy. We have a controlled economy, including markets. They burn my fingers when I even think about touching them.

It's Raining Bulls Today

King, thanks for your explanation. It's evident that we disagree. I see no way to revive a patient that's dead. At this point I think the only thing we can do is let the market have it's way. The bankruptcies are necessary to free the market so that it can begin to work again. Creating debt for our children and grandchildren in an attempt to buy off our debts just digs the hole deeper. Although, I do believe creating all this debt will just number the dollar's days. We are in for hard times and the federal government/federal reserve are just making things harder (except for the short run). I can see nothing else. thanks, Dale

It's Raining Bulls Today

Oh King Oh,
The truth very often hurts. The trader Mark has pretty much called it. To make it short and sweet, The feds/Wall Street with co-operation from our government moved manufacturing overseas (was good money in it). After they were gone, money had to be made somewhere. It is quite obvious how it was made (now). Our governments position is to now throw taxpayer debt and more printed money out there. That's not going to revive a dead economy. It can't be revived. We need to let things go, cut our losses, and start the healing process. Anything else is fighting free market principles and will not work. Being a bleeding heart for our citizens now will do no good (where were you when our manufacturing was moved across our borders?). Things need to fall to a sustainable level. The more borrowed money the government/feds throw at this thing, the longer it will last, unless we turn to a socialistic government and say allah, allah to our new world leaders.

Still Cautious About This Rally

Our money maestros spent more borrowed-printed enticement money on the dow again. Hmmmm...wonder how much they'll spend again today. Let's all jump in.

2009 Predictions I Hope Are Dead Wrong

As just another guesser observer, how a free market society can prosper under the fed/central bank manipulated atmosphere that we have is beyond me. Mr. Brown's speculations have a solid basis for merit. As has been mentioned above, things will probably get pretty ugly.

Time to Cautiously Get Back in the Game

Aw c'mon guys. I don't want to be the only one to get sheared.

Expect a Q4 Bear Market Rally - RBC

RBC, it's entirely possible you could be right. It's also entirely possible that I could somehow die tomorrow, too. I really don't think I'm going to bet on either scenario.

Preview from Europe: Rejected Auto Bailout Tanks Markets

I have a big Federal Reserve/Wall Street idea. Let's send manufacturing overseas! It's just the low paying jobs.

Don't Be Fooled by Bad News - Market Is Heading Up

DaveW,

From the following, I believe Michael said " I believe we've got it". I understand that to mean that he's saying he believes that we've got the bottom: ......... "So, the market can rally. This is not a bottom call - although I do think we've had it - but rather a call to make some cash before the opportunity dries up."

Don't Be Fooled by Bad News - Market Is Heading Up

I'm thinking that Yamu said it, it's fundamentals. Move the factories out, inflate prices, lower interest rates, a little slicing & dicing, and bundling, and pretty soon the working class is broke and the Wall Streed/Cental Bankers are in control. Just throw some money at the busted few factories (auto) that we have and things will be just hunky dory. Oh yeah, I almost forgot the feds have already put the working class in hock up to their ears, giving the wall street crowd billions of borrowed & printed money.
Yep, the bottom must be here!

Long Term Fundamental Value of Stocks Smoother Than Prices

A point well made, Jolly Rancher, & a good evening to you. Think I'll go spend some time with my wife.

Long Term Fundamental Value of Stocks Smoother Than Prices

Without going to (still wallowing in my ignorance) his website, I would contend that never before has our nation faced such debt. During the Great Depression, the dollar was still worth money. We could very well be using the money that is being printed as I write this, to burn to keep warm. I don't see that anywhere on the charts. Long live the Federal Reserve.

The Truth About Bailouts

We would be much better off with Peter running things.

Some of the commenters that evidently are in the auto industry don't seem to realize that the auto industry is going to fail along with the rest of us. That can't be stopped. It's too late. We are all in the same boat. The fed/treasury/wall street crowd have screwed us all, & are still enjoying their graft. It will end when the bottom drops out of the dollar and the sheople are mad enough to put a stop to it.
