  • From Obama's weekly address: "When we receive our monthly job report next week, it is likely to show that we are continuing to lose far too many jobs in this country. As far as I’m concerned, we will not have a recovery as long as we keep losing jobs. And I won’t rest until every American who wants a job can find one."  [View news story]
    No, please rest. Every idea so far has orwill be a negative for the economy and jobs. Cap and trade would force companies out of the country- insane. The government toying with health care, which is 16% of the economy- insane. Allowing trillions of money to be given to the likes of Goldman Sachs- criminal. Stimulus package squandered to cronies- criminal.
    Go take a long 4 year nap.

  • Gold's Downside Moves Don't Detract from Bullish Run  [View article]
    There is nothing, no event, no activity, no data point, no possibility whatsoever that will ever " detract from gold's bullish run".
    There. That should save you from your daily ad nauseum treatise.

  • Gold Holding Strong Against Dollar  [View article]
    Yeah, gold only down $20 in the two days since you released this article. But I guess when you're name is GoldCore, every article no matter when or what will be the same, "Buy Gold, dammit".

  • A Near-Term Plan for the S&P 500 [View article]
    How and when the market will finally reflect reality is what makes a market, but at some point the greater fools will not be there. Here are the facts and data anyone needs; the cliff notes are:
    - 70% of the economy is the US consumer, and he isn't coming back for decades
    - unsustainably high housing pricing isn't coming back
    - jobs aren't coming back, are still being lost
    - there is no source of money for the consumer, hence the economy
    - even the fed can't fix a $25-30T( we're over two-thirds to this # already ) wealth loss hole, not even close

  • Commercial Real Estate Cataclysm Underway? [View article]
    All you need to do is look around. I do a lot of business travel, and it's getting hard to find a restaurant thats still open anymore. And all the for lease signs in strip malls makes it so apparent.
    No one is eating out anymore; no one is shopping- if you need something, easier to get it online anyway and save the gas. The lack of inventory on the shelves on the stores that are still open is pathetic.
    We are so over-built in this country, relative to anywhere else in the world- way too many malls, hotels, name it.

  • PIMCO Offers Up Their Version of the 'New Normal' [View article]
    "The economy will be gathering steam" ?? Gathering dust you mean. I hope Timmie you are not one of those merely reading the headlines, shilling the recssion is over nonsense. Revenues are cratering downward still, and the only way companies meet those all important ( and useless, except as headlines ) "expectations is by, wait for it, you guessed correctly!- cutting more and more jobs. Which further adds to the root cause- less and less money available in consumers hands leading to, ah ha you guessed it again, even less revenue.
    At some point, after you have stripped an enterprise down to the bone, and you can't cut further, then you can't even meet ridiculous ly low "expectations". That my lad is not too far down this road.

  • The Disconnect Between Growth and Unemployment [View article]
    This is not a normal recession, so prior "rules" and metrics don't apply. Two things:
    - this time around, unemployment is a leading indicator; with huge wealth effect losses, and further cash flow deterioration from loss of jobs and declining wages, the worst of the downturn is ahead.
    - no one with a grain of sense trusts any of the government statistics; so the disconnect is far worse than their numbers show anyway

  • Stocks Are Overvalued and Overbought [View article]
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, tell all that to Goldman's JP Morgans computers. They dictate the market every day on low volume.

  • Real Estate Problems: Bailouts Are Again Option One [View article]
    You wanna know how rigged this market is? Look at IYR, and CRE ETF. Should be close to zero, the CRE outlook couldn't possibly any worse, it's a plain as the nose on your face. But the Boyz cannot allow it to crater as it should.

  • Real Estate Problems: Bailouts Are Again Option One [View article]
    What exactly can the Fed or anyone do about ghost shopping malls, and empty apartment buildings? It cannot force people with no money to shop, or rent, so exactly what does a bailout mean in respect to CRE?
    It means of course, to reward failure once again. The developers, banks, money folks won't take the loss, the taxpayer will. The malls will stay empty, that won't change.

  • Another Compelling Case for Higher Equities  [View article]
    This market still is best described as picking up dimes in front of a steamroller. Go ahead, but there is not one single piece of real economic data that supports higher stock prices. Sure, during earnings season, the shill headlines all scream, i.e. "Caterpillar beats by blah blah". Ah, but the key ratio is and will always be P/E, as in price/earnings, NOT price/expectations. But apparently the sheeple are just happy to beat expectations, some arbitraty bull-shit number made up completely as a whim. and "beating" said number is sufficient for pump city.
    I am daily appalled at the pure ignorance of our populous, what we have become, not on just this issue but in general. We have money deducted form our paychecks( withholding, just numbers on a piece of paper- imagine if we had to deduct cash money every April 15, see it physically, and then hand it to the tax man. We just might pay more attention to the assholes we give it to, and how its spent), and we pay it no mind. We have money deducted from our paychecks ( just numbers on a piece of paper- but its tax-free, yay!- well, so far ), and its sent to somebody we guess, some really smart fund manager, to buy some really good shit we guess. Hey, "over time", that there money is working for us. Risk, you say? Huh, what the deauce, when did that happen? Point being, we send out good money to "invest" in a basket of companies we know absolutely nothing about. Dirty little secret here- neither do 90% of the fund managers.
    Little wonder that every quarter these shill headlines about beating expectations-EXPECTATIONS folks- are met with such hurrahs and wonderment. It's insane when you think about it, but, alas alack, we the sheeple don't have clue one, its just too much bother to understand even the most fundamental aspects of the companies we own. Of course, we don't even know that do we? We don't even really keep track of the mutual funds we own, let alone what is in them.
    And we wonder why Goldman et al plays us like suckers? Almost impossible not to. Shooting fish in a barrel is one thng, it would be like trying to avoid millions of sheep in the road driving at night.

  • A Thoroughly Exhausted Bull Market [View article]
    More like a "shout at" , which is far better in any event. Being ridiculed by the village idiot is like a doulbe negative, hence positive ( you need to know stuff like this for captcha )
