Thursday Outlook: Commodities, Global Markets

Dave, If the feds are going to stop buying bonds, who is going to buy them? 2nd question is if our economy is to rebound, what is to be the driver? Our manufacturing has been shipped overseas. Are we to sell each other chinese made products, or just do service work for each other? I don't understand how the recession can be over. Maybe it's coming to an end and a depression is to follow?

This low ball roller is staying out of the casino.

Wednesday Outlook: Commodities, Global Markets

Thanks for the article. I still think Federales is a better name, though.

The Tide Is Turning

Good dog and pony show. We'll see how long you can keep it up, Federal Reserve. Jobs are the meat and potoatoes and you've sent them overseas.

All we have to do is sit back and watch MSNBC. Now just smile and everything will be fine. It's all just perception. Buy stocks and you will be rewarded. Isn't our government and media just wonderful. Well, maybe not.

The only fundamental reason is the blitzkreg being carried on by the financial controllers attempting to creat an atmosphere of "alls' well". Too bad their efforts are not directed towards doing something to actully help. Throwing more worthless money at our problem is no valid answer.

Oh, I think we pretty much "know".

Tuesday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets

Not a bad article, but the quote, "Nevertheless, markets are almost in free-fall. What works one day is a flop the next whether gold, bonds, currency or stocks. The powerful market trends are blowing away most technical trading systems." is somewhat inaccurate. At the risk of sounding trite, the Dow (stocks) is down over 50% off it's highs, gold is still up. That in and of itself says something about the economy and makes his quote inaccurate.

There is nothing irrational about a controlled market. If you're not in with the boys, too bad.

I find it interesting that our economic crisis is frequently described as a credit crisis. "Money needs to be broke loose so more borrowing can be done". Jobs, did I say jobs is what is at the epicenter of this crisis? We don't need more borrowing. We cannot operate an economy that is 70% based on what we spend. Until manufacturing is started up again in this country, people are not going to borrow no matter how open the spigot is. Buy all the stocks you want. As a whole, the market is a loser until the people themselves are strong. Manipulations by the Wall Street crowd and Federal Reserve have got us where we are and we will not get out until the people themselves are strong, not Wall Street CEO's and the Federal reserve. These people should be in jail.

Manufacturing was moved overseas. Interest rates were lowered. Our economy was largely based on what we spend. What do we expect when we run out of money? Let's not do anything to fix the problem. Let's "throw money out of helicopters". That'll help. What do we do when we get to the bottom of the hill? There's no ski lift.
