From Housing to Employment: We're in Big Trouble

This is a very pessimistic article, but I am afraid it may be true. Whole cities and communities were built complete with prepackaged retail outlets. The cities demanded schools and teachers, police and fire departments. Thousands flocked to these communities due to cheaper housing prices, even whistanding the longer commutes (I am in California, but I see this in other states, too).

These communities suffer the most. If thie scenario painted here is correct, they wil become slums infested with gangs and drugs.

I wonder if inflation hits big time, that housing prices may come back up again, but with few buyers. In many 3rd world countries, real estate is very expensive, but owned by few, and rented by many. This scenario is a 3rd world scenario.

I am not sure this is even a worst case scenario, but more likely a very possible outcome.

We need to let go of the fantasy of the insane financial system we were living and start over NOW. We cannot wait any longer. It is time to

Is the Fed Bankrupting America?

The Fed is supposedly independent already, and look what they did. Whether the mess they created supported policy goals of the administration and congress is possible, but they did it on their own. Congress had minimal information about what was happening inside the Fed and the banks- maybe this is what they wanted. Also, what was occuring IS congress' constitutional responsibility, regardless of who is calling the shots.

The system needs to be reworked completely, and only the congress has the constitutional authority to do it. We are talking about a complete collapse occuring right now, before our eyes. All this fantasy about this being another cycle that will correct by mid-year or early 2009, is a bit of a fantasy.

We need to act now to save our nation.

Wall Street Breakfast - Sample Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News by SA Editor Rachael Granby Bank trio becomes duo. Wells Fargo (WFC) will become the largest U.S. bank by branches with its bid for Wachovia (WB), after Citigroup (C) withdrew from compromise negotiations late yesterday on concerns about the quality of some of Wachovia's assets. Wells Fargo, with a bid valued at $11.4B, expects the purchase to be completed by the end of the year, and denies it will have to absorb assets shakier than originally thought. Government considers next steps. As the financial crisis continues to worsen, the U.S. government is considering two dramatic steps to turn around, or at least slow, the damage: guaranteeing billions of dollars in bank debt and temporarily insuring all U.S. bank deposits. The moves, which would mark the government's most extensive intervention to date, are in discussion stages only. Credit stays frozen. As frozen credit markets refuse to thaw, the cost of default protection on corporate bonds reaches new global records amid investor concerns the credit crisis will trigger corporate failures as companies struggle to finance their businesses. Interbank lending remains limited, and borrowing from the Fed's expanded discount window continued its trend of setting new highs every week, as the total daily average rose to $420.2B vs. $367.8B last week.

Better Choices - Cramer's Lightning Round (10/15/08)

by SA Editor Rachael Granby

Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramers Mad Money TV program,
Wednesday, October 15.

Bullish Calls:

Continental Resources (CLR) -- "This is a remarkable decline. All of the high quality ones are down so much, I can't go against it. This is where you pull the trigger.
3M (MMM) -- The moment this stock starts yielding 5%, I'm a buyer. Until then, keep your powder dry.

Bearish Calls:

Computer Sciences (CSC) -- This is a company that was going to be bought, but they passed up the chance. Now I don't want to buy it."
Annaly Mortgage (NLY) -- I think this is a business model that needs to borrow money. Definitively do not buy."
Northrop Grumman (NOC) -- You can't own the defense stocks right now. If I had to own one, I'd look at Lockheed Martin (LMT) with its good dividend.
