Who Is the Mystery Buyer?

Isn't it a coincidence that no one knows where most of the stimulus money went. Maybe the Government is behind this stock movement.
With 100s of billions, you can certainly move the market!
Just a thought.

Empty Storefronts

Very deep, and full of wisdom!

This is just a stage, like all stages, that we should embrace, and grow from!

From dark, and dirty coal, with pressure, we become diamonds!

Four Reasons We're Headed Even Higher

This is the kind of article that misleads people into losing their fortunes!

Didn't this guy see the article that came out today on seekingalpha.com that show inside selling is at high levels.

The very people that know what is going on, and has inside information, are selling big time!

Get out while you can!

Why Another Stock Market Collapse Could Be Imminent

I got caught up in the tech crash, believing all the hype.
Now I see how the media is hyping again, and how analysts are spinning earnings.
This bubble could pop soon, and all those who are biased to the upside could lose fortunes, and this market could just as well have legs, and push to new highs, and all those who were biased to the downside will lose the chance to profit from it.
My advice is to force yourself to read contrarian points of view, do your research in a more open minded way. Find out who predicted this crash to begin with, and find out what they are saying now.
A good book to look at is Conquer the Crash.

More Alarming China Statistics

This reminds me of the tech bubble. Up fast, down faster!
I read an article that spoke of how Goldman Sachs has been pumping up the China Market. These guys pump it up, and then short it to take all our money. Beware when Goldmans giving any recomendations, it could be a trap!

Commerce Department's Revised GDP Shows a Delineated Story for the Recession

The road to hell is filled with good intentions.
It may be good intentions to play with the numbers, and give people confidence to get back in to the market, but when things go bad, and there is still so many bad things that could suddenly go wrong (China Bubble Burst, India Bubble Burst, Banking Collapse in Europe, Natural Disaster (Hurricane Season), Terrorist Plot), then the truth of how weak our economy really is will show it's face, the market will collapse, and all those who got in to the market will lose everything.
Remember, the best indicator of a market meltdown is when everyone is telling you to get in.

'Too Big to Fail' Cause of Current Community Bank Failures

"Don't let a good crisis go to waste!"
While we are kept in a state if greed, and fear, totally absorbed with making money, or not losing money, we are totally unaware of where this administration is moving our country. Ask yourself, "Why would we want to establish another trillion dollar program, when others like Social Security, Medicare, Amtrak, Cash for Clunkers, etc. are already driving this country to a point of no return, where we won't be able to evern reach the interest rate on our debt, and this snowball affect will cause a devastating collapse of this country, and millions will be in poverty.
When this finally plays itself out, and every ones crying for help, this administration will then use this to accomplish their goal of Socialism.
Historically, that's how all radical governments do it!
Keep everyone occupied with hope while you set the trap, and then pull the rug out from under them!

Preview from Europe: Market Holds Up Well Despite Newsflow

I live in Hawaii, and I have friends who are from China, and they tell me that China's Economy is very bad. Factories are closing down left,and right. They are riots that aren't reported, and these riots are due to massive unemployment, and disenchantment with the government. The Chinese Government is getting desperate, and you know that something is up with the actions that they took yesterday. The run in the Chinese stock market reminds me of the 1999 Tech Reck. The run was fast, and strong, then it fluttered a little, corrected, fluttered more, then it went down 10 times as fast as it went up. Just a word of caution.

Global Markets in Review: Are Markets Discounting Bernanke's Scenario?

I have been in the tech reck of 1999, and had lost quite a bit in that crash. I was new to investing then, but looking back, I see how the media twist info around to prop up the market. (Remember, CNBC is sponsored by banks, an investment firms, Financial Magazines also have these sponsors, and thus they have a bias not to report news that would not fair well to these sponsors). Just as it happened in 1999, I believe when these sponsors have had their share of gains, they will pull the rug out, and short the market to make huge gains heading up, and down at our expense. It usually happens when optimism is at it's peak. BEWARE!

China's Stock Market Bubble Inflating

The Hang Seng has been going down in the last few days.

Have we reached a top?

Chinese Equity Bubble Set to Burst

I live in Hawaii, and I have friends who have come from China recently to work here. I ask them why they are not in China with all the news about it being the next big economy, and their reply to me is that the real economy (Not the one that the Chinese Government presents to the world) in worst than the USA. They are people getting laid off from factories all across China, and it having a domino affect throughout . We should be very cautious about the market. If China goes suddenly, the global markets should follow.
