Pace of Insider Sales Continues to Escalate

For those on the sidelines wondering how day after day the market is able continue to climb depsite an ever growing list of negative economic reports the anwser surely must include terms like illusion
fraud and manipulation.

This is underscored by a quick glace at some sectors that have had the most questionable moves.Just look at Builders,Banking, Leisure Travel and Airlines.

Banks are being closed at a historically record pace and like them the walking dead builders who all should be BK hang on by an undeserved tax payer funded life line of tax credits.

Airlines have rallied despite a backdrop of more empty seats, higher
fuel costs and lower prices and operating losses.

Most talking heads are collectively now forcasting a short 'healthy' seasonal correction before the resumption of the rally going into eoy.

Good luck

Why Investors Should Sell FedEx

I agree with your acessment of FDX. However, "Heavy" manfacturing may come back if the cost of shipping becomes to costly.

Housing: 'We're About to Have a Big Problem'

I have witnessed 1st hand owners seriously considering walking
away not because of jobs but devaluation. The house is mortgaged
for 400K + but the value established by several auctions on near by
properties effectively has reduced the value to $250--275, plus
the property taxes in this Chicago collar county are relatively high.
Unfortunately this is not an 'isolated' situation throw in the escalating
job losses and his becomes a nightmare.

What's Behind This Bear Market Rally

The 'plunge protection team' has busy trying its best create an atmosphere or is it an illusion? anything to suggest 'stability' in the face of rising unemployment, and falling demand for almost everything.

The only green shoots coming up are weeds growing in the cracks of the closed down empty factory parking lots.

"Capitalism without failure is like religion without sin"

Are Job Losses Really 'Fewer than Forecast'?

What am I missing here? Chrysler and GM will soon be shuttering factories and forcing a multitude of suppliers to close their doors, many forever. Why is no one talking about how this going to impact the employment and jobs reports in the coming weeks?

Why This Rally Is Unsustainable

Naufal, Are we witnessing the most elaborate pump and dump ponzi scheme ever? Given the fragile state of the
of our monetary system the argument seems to have become much about defining what's acceptable.
It now appears there are no limits, no out of bounds and most disturbing no accountability.
Only how long this scam can go on and ultimately how ugly will it be when it blows up remains to be seen.

Fremont Michigan: Adventures at the Frontier of Corporate Governance

Good luck in your quest. All BOD's bodies should have at least one outsider member if nothing else to be a whistle blower if matters get out of hand.

Corporate Welfare for Homebuilders?

We need to clean house to fix this mess. Propping up the companies,financial institutions and elected officials that created this crisis
only prolongs the pain and stands in the way of the serious fundamental
changes that need to be made in America.

Clearly being a consumer and debt driven economy does not work.
How many more time must we hear, "once we get credit flowing and housing fixed we're on the road to recovery"?

America better learn real fast that it needs to be a producer nation. We need health and workers compensation reform as well as tax and tort reform.

With out changes in these areas American companies will remain at a huge disadvantage in the worlds market place.

Carbon Cap-and-Trade Could Increase Coal Usage

The Holy grail of coal combustion was announced last week.
See Babcock Power's TIPS technology. No Smoke Stack, CCS in pure liquid form ready for beneficial re-use and can burn all forms of coal,gas, bio-mass and creates water 2 tons of water for evey ton of coal burned.

Long Live the Cleantech Revolution

Babcock Power the juggernaunt of cabon fueled plants fired a warning salvo last week with its announcement of its advancement of
a new combustion design so clean no smoke stack is needed while capturing co2 in a liquid form...amazing!

Why Is Everyone Blaming the CEOs? It's the Government's Fault

The American people are ultimately responsible for electing and returning the very legislators to congress that have been doing their best whether
intentional or not to gut your country of the very strengths that made it the beacon it once was. America is an ideal not a place and it look to me like its move'n on.
