This chart explains why the U.S. dollar is effectively worthless. "The dollar in your pocket is now entirely backed only by worthless, rapidly devaluing and subsidized housing."

if you go along with most of tyler d durden's views on practically everything concerning the state of the economy and its outlook, then you must believe,among other gems, that living in north america is
probably just a tad better than being a citizen of ZIMBABWE, get real my friend......the d is for doomsday!!!

What's the Fair Value for the Dow Jones Industrial Average?

jim bob jones.....a lot have done exactly what you are saying, and most of them have lost their shirts....decide for yourself whether you are an INVESTOR or GAMBLER..if the former, do your homework and with an average iq. you will do well, if the latter, go to VEGAS, your chances will be much better there!!!

The Potemkin Village Called Recovery

i guess i should not be surprised by the bearish comments over the weekend.....but a 5 to 6% correction after a 65% rise of the march lows is little cause for jubilation by the doom & gloom crowd..my advice is start buying now if you missed out so far...try 10% now, another 10% if the mkts. drop another 10%...i doubt we will see 900 on the s%p, but if we do then load up....you may never have this chance again!!!

would you be the jeandit75 who predicted S&P would be below 400 before end of summer??? end of summer S&P close 1065..so much for your predictive abilities..but if you predict often, some day you could be right..your uncanny prediction came about on April first....at the time i thought it was an April Fool joke..but i think you were serious!!!

One Good Thing About Today

good point!!!

Fourth Worst Start to October Ever

september 01, low 996.....september 30, close 1056...6% increase for the slowest month of the year...most realists would expect a short term correction at this point...how much of a correction at this point ??we could see -10% or more, but i wouldn't bet on it..the forces that matter will do whatever it takes to give the impression, real or not, that things are getting better....my vote says hang in there, buy at least 1% equities for every 1% the s&p goes down from here.....you may not get to buy much more, but even if you only put that $ in the index, you will have a very merry xmas!!!

10 points on mini s&p = 500.$ not 2400.$ !!!

Where Is This Market Going?

we may not agree on all the rules of a game..we may think some of the rules are ridiculous....we may hope for some changes in the rules..but as long as we play the game,, we deal with the rules and play to winn....this may sound simplistic, but to many,it says it all!!!
