      Five Things to Be Thankful for in This Market
      Most "major" companies will be setting profit records 5 and 10 years from now...unless they are out of business. The trick is to pick companies that will survive and I don't mean by being nationalized. Is Coach one of those "major" companies? To ask that question is to answer it.

      Buy your hope in a hole that is subject to political confiscation, inflation in production costs, labor unrest, environmental permitting, etc. I will buy the real thing in hand.

      Junior Resources Stocks Likely to Continue to Crash
      Why buy hope in a hole when even if production is feasible would be subject to political confiscation, inflation in production costs, labor unrest and an environmental permitting process that can take years.

      How to Succeed in a Bear Market
      Dividends are not the whole story. Many companies pay dividends out of cash flow, ie depreciation expense, that should be reinvested in their capital base to keep the company viable. Other companies pay dividends out of borrowed money as they reinvest their profits in the business and had to take down credit lines, etc. to cover the dividend payout. Bot of these types of companies over time generally have a declining stock price so in the end the dividends you received were an illusion. You were only being handed back your capital investment and asked by IRS to pay a tax on it.

      Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News
      Don't miss the 300 plus billion in toxic waste assets of Citibank the US government is going to suck up. This is on top of the trillions in Fannie an Freddie toxic waste and the vast amount of such paper that has been put up as collateral for loans from the Fed. The US government has become the debt holder's waste bin of last resort. How long can the dollar remain as the reserve currency of the world with such abuse?

      The Downfall of Keynesian Economics and the U.S. (Part 3 of 3)
      Reportedly Japan monetized 40% of the debt it issued in the last 15 years of zero interest rates and vast public works projects. That country did not experience hyper inflation. And now the yen is the strongest currency in the world.

      The US is going to follow the Japanese model. And the debt the government does not monetized will be purchased by the financial community with money borrowed at 1% or less from the Fed. The resulting spread will restore the balance sheets of the survivors in that industry to viability.

      Only if civil unrest and disorder appears on the streets of the US of A will this plan not work. The Democrats realize this and will use a large part of the monetized and circular debt proceeds to help the sheeple.

      Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News
      The Japanese yen was created by the trillions and trillions during the last ten years with a reported 40% of the debt issued by their federal government monetized. And yet the yen, today, is the strongest currency in the world. The US is going to follow this same model and the telegraphing of that policy has propelled the dollar way past all other currencies apart from the yet. It will not be civil unrest appears in the streets by the homeless and the unemployed that the dollar goes down and gold goes up.

      UltraShort ETFs: At a Tipping Point?
      The last time I looked Head and Shoulders was a shampoo. As a predictive chart pattern it sucks. Fully 50% of the time the pattern aborts.

      Bailouts Don't Solve Underlying Problem
      If sufficient money is loaned by the Federal Reserve bank against toxic debt at an interest rate of 1% (or less) that the borrowers can then lend to the US Treasury to spend on bailouts the economy will recover. The borrowers at 1% will make sufficient billions on the spread that their balance sheets will be restored. The recipients of the various bailout schemes will have sufficient purchasing power to shore up the economy. Happy days will be here again. The underlying assumption is that the world will continue to accept the dollar as its reserve currency while we aggrandize our lifestyle by consumption of their labor and products in ever larger amounts. With the US military having bases in 100 countries what choice does the world have?

      Peak Oil's Bell Is Ringing
      Solar generated electrical energy can split water into H and O2. The H can be used to replace every single gallon of gasoline now run through internal combustion engines. If we pull this element out of the demand equation peak oil is pushed into the next century as a boogie man.

      U.S. Economy: There Are No Problems, Only Solutions
      All the while your pen gushes idealism the bailout to one US company, AIG, is headed rapidly toward $200 bbbbbilllion dollars. That is one company, my man. What chance is there for this precedent not to be replicated over and over in the coming months? Economic pain is not now and never has been something any Congressman can accept for his or her constituents.

      Fed Watch: From Bad to Worse?
      Talk about fiscal stimulus...the bailout for one single company, AIG, is going to come in at over 200 billion dollars! Why shouldn't the auto industry on which 2.5 million jobs depend be worthy of at least this much of a subsidy? And then the airlines, and then, and then??????
