Trust you own instinct - I believe that 2009 will still be in depression, maybe a recovery as from Nov/Dec - 2010 will be sluggish and then the world will get back on track in 2011, which will be the start of the largest boom in recent history. All this cheap money will find its way somewhere - where the returns will be higher than sluggish developed countries. The ones who will benefit from this boom will be latin america, africa and india.

But 2009 looks bad - i think we currently have a bear market's rally - bankruptcies yet have to soar - including some banks... we are not done with this yet... unfortunately!]]>

John Hussman: The Market Is Not in Uncharted Territory http://seekingalpha.com/article/106411-john-hussman-the-market-is-not-in-uncharted-territory?source=feed#comment-308419 308419
I think we're at the same level of nov'29 where it rebounded off 200, though now that level should be 800.

Prob have a rebound, especially with a new president, new policies, new hope (the audacity of hope), before fizzling out as we discover more and more bad debts - which will be coming from various sources not yet taken into estimates.

Its gonna be painful... - the repricing of risk, rising bankruptcies, increasing unemployment.

I hope not a depression again, but its gonna be tough!]]>

Precious Metals Will Depose Cash from Its Temporary Throne http://seekingalpha.com/article/106319-precious-metals-will-depose-cash-from-its-temporary-throne?source=feed#comment-307756 307756
the govt will need to keep pumping these with cash - which at some point will lead to hyperinflation - gold is a great long-term investment... as for short-run, im still bullish dollars... when shit hits the fan, investors flock to dollar and yen!

Early Stimulus Wears Off http://seekingalpha.com/article/105152-early-stimulus-wears-off?source=feed#comment-302411 302411
names such as Ford, GM, Chrysler, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, etc would be insolvent! They have been a big part of the american dream - hence why the government will never let these go! TOO BIG TO FAIL!

For the auto, merging all big 3 into 1 could be a good starting point. ]]>

The Chinese Have Joined In, Now What About India? http://seekingalpha.com/article/104998-the-chinese-have-joined-in-now-what-about-india?source=feed#comment-302066 302066
China's economy is one which has been on steroids, and its performance cannot continue along the same lines. Once all countries realise the trade deficit vis-a-vis China, and root it down to their unfair currency manipulation, they may resort to protectionist measures. China will then be left with thousands of buildings that will turn into ruins.

The consumer sector, which is the driver of growth in developed countries is greater in India than China. I reckon China may find itself in the state Japan finds itself now, with over-reliance on exports, and the inability of consumers to drive growth. How much the government pumps in, it will not have any effect. China's lost decade is now starting and will be extremely painful.]]>
