Well, yes it does, as the ones who saved the money will not be the ones that get to spend it. Just as in America - the reflation of the banking sector is coming out of the pockets of Joe and Maggie Sixpack, and their college graduate-with-no-jobs children. Tell me there's no problem there. Jamie Dimon will do quite well, thank you, instead of warming a cell, somewhere, he, along with hundreds of others who profited mightily off the machinations of the FED Chairman and the Banks-in-general, will do just fine. And, Mr. Obama will do just fine, giving his post-Presidential speeches to simpering masses of turncoat cowards who toast each other for dinner. The middle class is getting raped here, just like Japan's will be. Maybe it doesn't matter to currency traders in Dubai but it will certainly matter to Ms. Takanawa.]]> Mon, 13 May 2013 21:19:33 -0400 And, so if the country's wealth/debt is a wash, it doesn't matter?

The purpose of all this is so that we will all fearfully run to the govt to intervene on our behalf and take over our lives so that we can all be secure.

In terms of guns - you were far more likely to be beaten to death than shot, for many years now - blunt instrument killings are more common than Assault Rifle killings (even though they're black, and scary looking).

So, go figure. There are still some people in the country who still use their brain, so gun control (which is about control, not guns) didn't get the traction the libtards wanted....waaahhhh!

2nd Amendment, buddy. It's still there, along with the 1st. If one goes, the other is not far behind.]]> Thu, 09 May 2013 11:15:19 -0400

The next big wave is Unified Communications - it's already started. MSFT will be there, too.

Now, all we need is amnesty for 11+ million illegal immigrants to really destroy the social services net in the country and our failure will become transparent to the world.
Bought and paid for by the weak, the timid, and the cowards, who never really understood middle school civics lessons, that freedom has to be worked for by everyone, all the time. Too many think that it was bought and paid for in some glorious moment of the past, and now they can sit on their butts and live off someone else's investments.

It's gangbusters in the sunbelt. Bet against northeastern cities that don't have a wide range of industries that support them. Niche markets are just waiting to get clobbered by the downturn that I expect to see in late Fall. I expect that until then, homebuilders will be at maximum capacity, with the real governor being availability of tradespeople to finish out their homes. The extent of homebuilder exposure in weak markets is the key to watch.]]> Mon, 06 May 2013 11:29:40 -0400 My personal take on this (broker/owner multiple real estate offices) - don't bet against builders in the sunbelt.

Any decent internal datacenter can provide all these elements for a "Private" cloud. Oh, yeah, except for most govt agencies. They are all such a dismal mess that IBM will probably make a fortune rescuing them from a horrible fate.
