Maybe this will be one less thing to replace around the house: The House approves a provision to save the 100-watt incandescent light bulb for at least a year.

Quoting Warren Buffett I could end the deficit in 5 minutes. You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP all sitting members of congress are ineligible for reelection.

analysts are paid to do their job, they sometimes need to be bullish to get funds in having said that, Bernanke obviously hinted, either the economy gets better or another round of massive stimulus

As Euro officials take contrasting views on the downgrade of Ireland, Wilbur Ross claims Moody's is attacking the wrong country, noting the government has already carried out major spending cuts. Ross warns if the agencies "downgrade enough people recklessly, nobody will be able to access the public markets in 2013." [View news story]
Wilbur Ross's screaming, "My money My money! down the drain" i suppose Wilbur Ross was furious that his investments in Ireland are now underwater LOL i wonder what did Wilbur Ross do to piss off ratings agencies?
Investors will look past the European debt crisis and high U.S. unemployment to propel stocks another 15% over the next year, Laszlo Birinyi predicts. “What I worry about are situations that the market doesn’t understand... Greece and employment and so forth, these are well within the scope of the market to understand and discount.” He anticipates a "very impressive" earnings season. [View news story]

LOL the market has rebounded from 2009 lows to all time high and yet there's a discount?? is he on crack? i thought i just read, Greece set to default??? do we discount all that and the repercussions to other PIIGS nations?
In economist David Rosenberg's view, QE3 is all but inevitable. With unemployment well above the FOMC's year-end projection band of 8.6-8.9%, and higher still from its end-of-2012 projection of 7.8-8.2%, the Fed has no choice but to provide more stimulus. Rosenberg previously gave a 99% chance of a second recession happening. [View news story]
havn't heard the Mr Doom & Gloom Roubini talked about double dip recession of late? shouldn't he be the most active among all given such gloomy macro econ these days?
Republicans say they will refuse to raise taxes, but Peter Morici thinks they would be smart to reconsider. Barry Ritholtz wants to hit high net worth individuals whose numbers and net worth have swelled during the past two years. The population of HNWIs rose 8.6% in 2010 to 3.4M after rising 16.6% in 2009, according to a CapGemini report, and their wealth jumped 9.1% to $11.6T. [View news story]
i say both Democrats and Republicans should STFU (shut the F***** up) and do something already i rather see more actions that just words going around every single day and night, you have the same problems being debated, being discussed with no collective agreement and will to do something about it how long are we gonna witness this political brinkmanship? i am guessing the political games have long started, they are only interested in winning votes for the next elections, not much so about growing our country's economy
i would like quote Warren Buffett here 1) "Congress is playing Russian Roulette."
2) "I could end the deficit in 5 minutes. You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP all sitting members of congress are ineligible for reelection."
Morgan Stanley's David Greenlaw still sees second-half GDP growth at 3.5%, citing an eclectic mix: auto assembly schedules pointing to increased production after recent disruptions, cheap gas prices likely to translate into real consumption growth, incentives for businesses to spend expiring at year-end, and a seasonal quirk that will boost Q4 exports. [View news story]
maybe this dude is one of the many "high" networth people that can afford to pay even if the prices at the pump goes to $10/gallon no disrespect to MS David here with his fairly optimistic predictions, as a matter of fact, anyone of us could have made all kinds of predictions, it is whether those predictions will be carried out as planned
look many CEOs of big and small companies already mentioned uncertainty due to our political leaders still bickering over debt ceiling and whether to raise taxes or cut spending etc.. hence business's not spending, look at the anemic job growth in US, what does it tell ya? how long do you think political brinkmanship will continue? i suppose as long as there's divided will to do anything until the next election, both Republicans & Dem are still playing games using American's economy growth to win votes next year alcoa and microchip tech have come out and said they see global automotive sector weakness, and weak consumer spending in the US, so MS David here is a real deal OPTIMIST!

One strong argument we aren't in a new tech bubble: earnings and revenue multiples for the sector at-large remain reasonable. But while the sector as a whole may not sport high multiples, valuations for certain names such as Salesforce.com (CRM), Baidu (BIDU), and LinkedIn (LNKD) are close to those found during the 1999-2000 bubble.

watch for Jim Cramer to pump up CRM and BIDU when cramer pump is on, it's hard to short those stocks if Cramer says sell, you should be scared
