austin1972 629 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Because it didn't happen today doesn't mean there isn't an underlying weakness when you look into the numbers that suggests a greater than 50/50 chance for unsustainable short term growth. The numbers that are coming out suggest that earnings targets are being hit by some like INTC or TXN but revenue targets are falling short more than half the time. That's not the face of growth. That doesn't change employment Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pfoley 10 Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 Stimulus by Fed Is Disappointing, Economists Say By BINYAMIN APPELBAUM Published: April 24, 2011 WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve's experimental effort to spur a recovery by purchasing vast quantities of federal debt has pumped up the stock market, reduced the cost of American exports and allowed companies to borrow money at lower interest rates. But most Americans are not feeling the difference, in part because those benefits have been surprisingly small. The latest estimates from economists, in fact, suggest that the pace of recovery from the global financial crisis has flagged since November, when the Fed started buying $600 billion in Treasury securities to push private dollars into investments that create jobs. A study published in February found that interest rates decreased, but only for companies with top credit ratings. "What has it done? It has eased credit conditions, it has pumped up the stock market, it has suppressed the dollar," said Mickey Levy, Bank of America's chief economist. "But does the Fed think that buying Treasuries and bloating its balance sheet is really going to create permanent job increases?"

Sol Rosenberg 10,152 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 It's pretty obvious that the market is being brought to it's knees again because we are approaching an election. It's time for a change in Politicians. If the economy stays shaky until the 2012 presidential elections you can bet that the market manipulators are looking for someone who will do their bidding. The people who really control the economy can manipulate it so we vote those in office out and get someone one else in. It's a gamble but the newly elected, I am sure are told how they got there. There is such a false perception that we the people have any real control at all. It's pretty obvious that the current plan to expand government while beating up the private sector is bringing the market to it's knees. If the Capital in Capitalism thought that business would expand faster than Government then they would put their money where they think best. Just look no further than the government payroll since January of '09 and compare it to the private sector jobs. The Obama tactic of assaulting the free markets while preaching to their constituency made for some great "yes we can" moments, but in reality it's time to stop the bullshit and let Capitalism do what it does best - expand and create jobs. Further interference, regulations, mandates, and finger pointing will get us nowhere. Unless a utopian society is one's dream. Looks like you were certainly brought to your knees for somebody there, Babooby, the question is "for whom"? When do you think the Dow will break 9,000? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
austin1972 629 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I'm curious why a utopian society - if truly achievable (it's not) - would be bad? Dystopia, that would be bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

C&C 115 2 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I've held apple for a LONG time saw it go from $100 to 170 and then drop to 70 (should have never let that happen). Unfortunately only had $20K of it at the start... That said the impact of the $ on the price of stocks is VASTLY overstated. The increase in stock prices is as it alway has been largely driven by profits, sound business fundamentals and positive outlook for future profits. GE, AAPL, ORCL and F are perfect examples of this. Of course it helps that there's ademocratic admin in place. I remember when it hit $100 on you. That's when I said to sell....Ooops. We'll see with the $. All I know is my ag extension and the elevator are talking $11 corn. That's pretty indicative of some crazyass inflation. Corn should be under $3 in the real world. Ethanol ain't helping but...I'm glad I can grow my own. I don't see this ending well. The Dem thing is interesting, and the theory does hold up to a degree. So it does for election cycles too. Just proof that markets aren't necessarily predicated on reality, IMO. I actually got in to CORN yeasterday saw an aticle that it would be the way to play AG. Apparently china decrease farm acerage by 14% this year and will have to import grain for the first time ever. Totally missed gold but i did buy a little FCX a month ago...

As far as I can see, it's not even close to the horizon. No one has overturned the business cycle. Occam, we won't "have a recession" at some point, because we are in fact still in one. It's simply been papered over with debt. Subract out federal deficit spending over the past 5 years from GDP (which you must do in order to have an honest accounting of economic activity) and you'll see GDP has gone down. I can pretend I'm prosperous too (for a while), if I spend money I don't have and have no realistic hope (or intention) of ever paying back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tuk tuk Joe 1 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Bippity bump. Where's my hat? KmcKabe - we all want to be bullish just not BG'ish. You are a bear right now. That's all I'm, sayin'. I'm pretty sure a man with tons o' money could get really rich going in and out of Ford these days. 20% since 4th of July vacation? GTFO. "Hold on, we'll get on the boat once I put this trade in". The P/E was under 6 for keyrists sakes. I'm dumb but why is it that easy? Yesterday - "We'll go swimming at the quarry just a soon as I get this sell in." I wish I had a ton o' money. I've made 10's of dollars off that stock. I really don't want to be a bear here, I'm bullish on this country's capabilities and our future. I like Obama personally, I think he's a gifted communicator. He's had to do things Bill Clinton would have never had the guts to do, I don't know why he's turning to that person. Its a tough job and I certainly wouldn't want it. I genuinely would want to share a BBQ with him and although I've met one of the Clinton's I would not have said the same for them. Leader's lead by principal, not by polls. That's what we elect them for. Personally I'd rather have BBQ with Monica.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
