How Much Lower Will Equities Go?

Near a bottom? Nope, stay the he# away from equities.

Obama Worries, Rather Than Impresses, Wall Street

This is coming from the same crowd that tries to tell us that the market doesn't care who is in office. I'm surprised you didn't pitch weapons & canned soup stocks. Which reminds me, where are the disclosures?

Great Depression, Ominous Political Headwinds and the S&P 500

Let me see if I have this straight, via the fertile mind of "Socialism cannot compete!" I will be utilizing a Biblical style, since that seems to be the source material for this line of reasoning.

The Great Depression begat Marxism, which begat Nazism, which begat a woman's right to choose, which begat more tough economic times.

How Will Obama's 'Trillion Dollar Deficits' Affect the Markets?

Like it or not, Obama is merely telling us the straight skinny...namely years of deficit spending like drunken sailors and selling our debt to China are coming home to roost, just like pigeons.

Trying to pin this pile of crap on only the 110th Congress is very funny, this cycle was out of control before they hit town, although they didn't help much by cowering before Bush's bluster and giving into his childish demands. But make no mistake, Bush's pet wars & irresponsible fiscal management with the first 6 years of GOP-controlled Congress are the roots of this mess.

What Will Happen If America Returns to an Historical Savings Rate?

I half-expected a bunch of rants in the comments section about "socialism" & "Marxism" and other nonsense, but you are hitting the nail on the head sir. It is what it is. We are looking a a major re-alignment of our economic system, because what we were doing before was not at all sustainable. You can't keep buying cheap crap from China at Wal-Mart, trade in your SUV every two years, and regularly gorge & puke at the all-you-can-eat buffet without having the bill come due eventually.

Our consumption-based economy was overdue for a crash, but unfortunately that over-consumption is exactly what our "wealth" was based on. A sick, parasitic arrangement.

The Shallowest Generation

but...but...but...I want my multiple wars, first-class infrastructure, quality educational system, AND my tax-cuts too! The politicians tell me I can have it all!
