The Market as a House of Cards
Take your paycheck and spend it. It helps the economy, and saving means you just give the crooks a means to steal it. If you buy 'stuff' with your money then all you need is a gun to protect it.
Spend spend spend -- and maybe the government will have a bailout for you !!!
Thanks Bill -- I hope you keep your views on the crooked markets front and center, even in 'good' (aka government and wall st. contrived ) times.
The whole thing really makes me sick.
Is the Dollar Rallying on Realigned Expectations?
I have to take issue with your conclusion that $120 oil is acceptable - I dont think it is. The current 'shock' has yet to completely seep through to the consumer -- and we have heard quite a few companies talking about using the pricing power they have to jack up prices. Of course they are already engaged in the American past-time of just putting less content in each unit and saving costs on the margin.
In any case I think oil needs to be closer to $100, and /should/ be $85, tops at this point -- I guess Ill settle for $100 -- but $120 is still too high by far.
Take care.

Seems to me you should be viewed as a hero...
The masses are asses I guess, eh ?
Historic Financial Collapse Underway?
That said, I think the number of perps...err... goldman sachs...err.. governemtn officials they are trotting out to tell us that we worry too much is another 'tell' that things are worse than normal.
It all hinges on housing. What breaks the downward spiral ? Its a degenerative feedback loop, and what breaks it -- especially as the government offshores our jobs and devalues our dollar so there will be fewer and fewer solvent families and individuals to sop up the excess inventory and stabilize prices ?
What breaks the cycle ?
Was That a Bottom? Should We Even Care?
If you know the right people you'll get the support of the whole population !
A Letter to Warren Buffett
Itd be real nice if the taxpayer even had a CHOICE !
Was That a Bottom? Should We Even Care?
The manipulators kill you in the short run -- the dollar inflators and government liars kill you in the long run.
Small investors dont know about hedge funds because they are not allowed to benefit from them.
I want a system where uncle sam bears my risk, and I get the profits.

Hey dont get me wrong - maybe since then you have put mechanisms into place for people to track your moves in real time (how do you actively buy and sell options on 40 or 50 positions in real time and keep it straight anyway?). Maybe now they can emulate your moves and everyone is making 300% per month !! woohoo !!
No wonder the market is tanking - Phils stock world is winning all the trades !

Oh - and Boeing didnt tumble due to the tanker deal loss -- they tumbled due to GS saying they could lose 30% of their aircraft orders due to the economic downturn.
The Screws Tighten on Apple Investors
*LOL* now thats funny !
AAPL products have always been overhyped -- they have also always been overpriced -- which means that they wont achieve the kind of penetration the aapl zealots contend.
Regardless of stock price, AAPL is completely overhyped -- and given that nobody /needs/ any of the stuff they sell I dont see how anyone (other than an aapl zealot, of which there are many) could even think aapl stock would thrive in an extended economic downturn.
Shoot tech in general has gotten /killed/ because tech spending, even at the corporate level is considered fairly discretionary by wall street -- yet a consumer tech company is gonna buck all that and go up while the market tanks ?
Ok im gonna sell all my PG and buy AAPL to protect me from the bear !
Time To Start Buying Some Dogs?
Gotta change with the times...
Oh - and whats all the venom goin on here ? I find most articles here quite interesting reading, regardless of typos. My God some of you need to disengage your hate and engage your higher thought processes.
Maybe learning how to hedge, and switching to decaf might help too !
