How do you invest looking at this Fed train barreling towards you?]]> Tue, 01 Feb 2011 12:41:02 -0500 Since Ben has an unlimited check book (trillions) and focused intent he can sustain this ponzi for quite a while longer, probably until he triggers a global collapse, which is probably the least worst (relative)scenario for the US in his view.
How do you invest looking at this Fed train barreling towards you?]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/247637/comments?source=feed#comment-1419501 1419501 BTW, selfish US mercantalism is the only way we'll put 10mm Americans back to work in manufacturing. Trump uderstands and slapping tariffs on the cheating Chinese is the only solution. Geithner's talks about fx rates is just noise. Even doubling the value of the Yuan will make zero difference to our trade balance. We can't compete with people earning $2k p.a. who's own market is totally protected via Gov't buying policies and 51% J/V's which steal our technology. Immelt should be tried for Treason for handing red China our avionics technology which will kill our last big exporter, Boeing and hasten China's military dominance to support it's global trade dominance. We're stuck with 22% (real) unemployment and declining benefits until we withdraw from WTO and focus on reinforcing our strong continental, and potentially self sufficient, economy.
Since our politicians are mostly bought and paid for by the globally oriented Corp lobbyists (Bilderberg group), I suspect that the hollowing out of America will continue awhile longer, witness Immelts appointment by Obama yesterday. Talk about a Trojan horse.]]> Fri, 21 Jan 2011 12:20:24 -0500 BTW, selfish US mercantalism is the only way we'll put 10mm Americans back to work in manufacturing.

Co. has an incredible $8 cash per share and no material debt. Buy back is coming at the end of Q1 IMO.
Shape-ups are not a fad. Read some of the 3000 reviews at Zappos.com People are buying multiple pairs. They are buying mainly to resolve foot, leg and back pain issues. It's become a classic work shoe for nurses, hospitality industry workers, factory floor/warehouse etc.
Amazingly, the 'old' one and a half year old model is still the most popular - so the inventory 'problem' is hugely overstated.

Without a return to US mercantalism, we will not recreate the 50mm lost jobs and halt the decline in the US standard of living. Globalization and more QE2 are a disaster for America, but wonderful for Asia.]]> Tue, 09 Nov 2010 11:26:28 -0500 americaneconomicalert....
