  • Is the Market Going Lower? Silly Question! [View article]
    Blah blah blah... Not you, Mark, the "experts."

    Everybody knows what's going to happen next...

    Bull$hit! Nobody knows!

    ...except maybe Leonard Cohen:

    "
    Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
    Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
    Everybody knows that the war is over
    Everybody knows the good guys lost

    Everybody knows the fight was fixed
    The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
    Thats how it goes
    Everybody knows

    Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
    Everybody knows that the captain lied
    Everybody got this broken feeling
    Like their father or their dog just died

    Everybody talking to their pockets
    Everybody wants a box of chocolates
    And a long stem rose
    Everybody knows
    .
    .
    .
    Everybody knows the deal is rotten
    Old black joes still pickin cotton
    For your ribbons and bows
    And everybody knows

    And everybody knows that the plague is coming
    Everybody knows that its moving fast
    Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
    Are just a shining artifact of the past
    .
    .
    .
    Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
    That's how it goes
    Everybody knows.

    Tunisia is a stretch, but Botswana? Actually now I remember Cramer screaming "buy Botswana!" on his show about a year ago, and I just thought he was being, well, you know...

  • 2009 Economic Forecasts Ignore Demographic Shift [View article]
    - 5.0 percent might be too optimistic if you are expecting other shoes to drop. If the entire foot locker tumbles you'll be looking at a 20 to 30% plunge.

    As you stated in your introduction: "There is not enough data for any pundit to accurately forecast what the US economy will look like on December 31, 2009" and "the economy is all about momentum."

    One thing is for sure though, that when bad things happen in today's global economy, they happen blindingly fast.

  • Signs That the Credit Crunch May Be Over [View article]
    "Credit Crunch" was such a sweet name given to a financial (now economic) disaster of catastrophic proportion. Like a candy bar...

    New versions should be coming out in 2009 "Credit Crunch with unemployment raisins," "Credit Crunch with bankruptcy nuts," and in late '09 "Credit Crunch with hyper-inflation bits o' crisps."

    Only problem? Who will be able to afford it?
