Prophetic ....
If BOA, C and JPM fail, it's going to be a long time until people get their insured money back from those accounts.
It’s in the 38 range. Usually goes down when the dollar goes up. Both went up today. Dollar was in the 84 range last Friday, in the 86 range today.
This link will take you to a page that has most of the essentials.
The times they are a CHANGING.
I’m doing my part. Spending as little as possible, and where I must spend, buying as much of it online as I can. I figure that the vast majority of retail workers voted for Zero. ‘Eff ‘em — let them starve. They should know better than to bite the hand that feeds them.
Yep definitely Hussein’s fault!
In more ways than one.
On the other hand, OBL could have and should have been captured on Clinton's watch. We'll be paying for a long time, at least monetarily, because of this failure.
We are in 2009 now. It’s Jan 20, 2009
How much money will there be to invest when government eventually needs 3/4 of the producer's paycheck (Up front) to break even (Not counting attempting to pay down debt)?
Do you see bureaucracy shrinking with a government we have now as of Jan. 20th? At least 4 years of a President who wants expansion, 2 with a HOR and a Senate that is filled with hyper collectivist with the opposition being “moderates”. Limited government, free growth politicians are few and far between. With this debt ridden public and private sector it is not pretty combined with parasites sucking the teat demanding more and more.
No it won’t...not if we say it often enough, and with conviction!
I went to cash in about January. And I’ve made a pantload shorting assorted stocks on the way down.
This was definitely a case of “buy the election, sell the inauguration”. I went heavily short again about 2 weeks ago and today it’s paying off.

My only point was that the WOT, which should have been over before Bush even took office, has a lot to do with our deficit and other problems.
Details....Details! I thought I was being optimistic talking about 1929.... ;)
Just the beginning, I fear.
By all means enjoy yourself...Snippy? I don’t think so. However, I did rain on your parade by presenting unwelcome truth so...enjoy!
A 10th Amendment problem and in best case scenario through private charity/immediate family members/friends not a Federal perpetual drag on the budget. Only with the exception a severe distress that effects overall civil government should Federal $$$ be used to TEMPORARILY subsidize people's basic needs.
I agree handling the extreme Muslim terrorist should have been handled sooner but time machines do not exist.
Will go lower than 7k—a lot lower.
We’re in a lot worse shape than in 79. Unemployment is still skyrocketting and if you use the same measure of unemployment that we had then (U6) it’s already at 13.5% and skyrocketting. GDP probably contracted around 6% this last quarter and will again this quarter. Retail sales were the worst since the great depression. We have virtually no savings and asset prices dropped around $10 trillion last year. Debt to GDP (combined public & private) is at an *ALL TIME* high.
