we are adjusting to a new normal. things will change - but the question is not when will things get better - but the question is what will things change into.

you can stand around all day wondering when the market will go up again. this is a waste of time. the market will simply change its dynamics, and everyone should position oneself for this event. there is money to be made, but the old ways are dead. you need to learn how to make money on a flat market (after it stops falling).

too many punters for too long have been telling the sheep we are close to recovery and hold on. this is being exposed as an obvious lie. the market can now reprice for the new normal.

of course we are going to recover. but this is not a stimulus package but an effort to replace money which should have been spent by somebody other than the government.

which portion of this actually stimulates the economy?

Too bad your mind is not as sharp as your tongue. Further down in the article it said the following:

"Japan will also have to accept that a stronger yen is good for the country in order to reduce excessive trade surpluses and deficits".

He was saying Japan will export less to the USA.

the incompetents in congress have let this fester for the last 40 years. the reason is not because there are no solutions - the environmental lobby has blocked the solutions. once the waste issue is resolved, it lowers the costs of construction (you do not have to plan for onsite storage). and you do realize the moronic majority speaker of the senate will not allow a facility to be built in his state.

and for those who continue to think nukes are a terrorist threat - i have a little news for you. of course a terrorist hit on a plant would be front page news. but nukes are built in isolated areas limiting damage. but conventional fossil plants are built in populated areas. ask someone what would happen if you strapped explosives on the main steam lines of a plant using superheated steam.

for your kind information.

i will attribute your outburst to misplaced sarcasm. sweetie, you cross the line when you question patriotism.

every individual has the right to live where in the hell they please. an American pays taxes to America when they live overseas. for the kind of things jim rogers is involved in, singapore makes better sense than new york.

i personally find few things in America right now which are amazing except for the dedication of the men and woman of our armed forces. for me, criticism of all other topics are on the table.

what is this statement? how is housing starts or inventory remotely effect the amount of foreclosures?

"Congress will extend loans to the private sector by forcing banks receiving new TARP funds to lend, and the housing sector will stabilize"

you talk crap. housing loans are resold to fannie or fha - the only problem even today is buyers who qualify.

really, this kind of bogus 'expert' opinion does not help SA.

On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile.

The Americans, very discouraged and depressed, decided to investigate the reason for the crushing defeat. A management team made up of senior management was formed to investigate and recommend appropriate action.

Their conclusion was the Japanese had 8 people rowing and 1 person steering, while the American team had 8 people steering and 1 person rowing.

Feeling a deeper study was in order, American management hired a consulting company and paid them a large amount of money for a second opinion.

They advised, of course, that too many people were steering the boat, while not enough people were rowing.

Not sure of how to utilize that information, but wanting to prevent another loss to the Japanese, the rowing team's management structure was totally reorganized to 4 steering supervisors, 3 area steering superintendents, and 1 assistant superintendent steering manager.

They also implemented a new performance system that would give the 1 person rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was called the 'Rowing Team Quality First Program' with meetings, dinners, and free pens for the rower There was discussion of getting new paddles, canoes, and other equipment, extra vacation days for practices and bonuses.

The next year the Japanese won by two miles.

Humiliated, the American management laid off the rower for poor performance, halted development of a new canoe, sold the paddles, and canceled all capital investments for new equipment. The money saved was distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses and the next year's racing team was out-sourced to India.

Here's something else to think about:
Ford has spent the last thirty years moving all its factories out of the US, claiming they can't make money paying American wages.

TOYOTA has spent the last thirty years building more than a dozen plants inside the US .

The last quarter's results: TOYOTA makes 4 billion in profits while Ford racked up 9 billion in losses.

Voters are already mad. They have had enough of the Bush failed approaches. If whatever they do does not work, the voters will be in no mood to forgive.

My suggestion is for them to tread softly.
