fundamentally, country as a whole, US is much better than Japan. Naturally, Japan is not a well-endowed nation. yet the country sits on the ring of fire. but it's amazing Japan has managed to develop their economy into G7" level of economy. They've done it without those key industrial...

Thanks Trend_Following! basing on your experience, how would you assess the current trend of the indexes? Thanks

Nature of US economy has changed fundamentally. Plus too expensive to do business in America; at this rate, Obama will never match job creation by President Bush (judging from the chart posted in the article at Forbes website...

Dust - one should focus on what is relevant, and ignore others; then that's another research project for you :)

big money are unloading before job report. they're picking up some dead rat smell from job report. a lot of signals have shown thing ain't that rosy. bad job report will result in a sell-off, fairly good one is time to cash in. job report this Friday is not going to be good.

sorry for being an azz. I don't think marijuana is a solution. it's more of a problem, look at how expensive smoking has cost on society... also marijuana brings another bad side effect (making people mind numb and dumb).

Corn price and 1980 Inflation Rate. as you expected, they correlated each others. Ain't Uncle Ben cooking the book? http://www.tradingeconomics.com/

oldtime unloaded his "rain" futures portfolio today, the DOW erased -120 points, darn. :)

I don't know if you know corn plays a major role in the US economy. Corn is everywhere. Everything is produced with corn or corn-based products. just when weather turns sour for a season.... then you'd see a lot of FED money chasing the shrinking resources. then inflation would jump to another...

US has a culture of bankruptcy. Socially, it's acceptable practice. This practice and mentality have ingrained in many layers of US strata. At city level, you've seen cities filed for bankruptcy; also at corporate level, you've seen countless of billions dollar belly-ups. more importantly, at...

attached is the crappy job report for the Month of April... job quality sucks, a lot of jobs are in service sector. They're not going to last long.... there's one curious category. it's called "private-service providing", does it sound like "prostitution" ? :)

I think Bernanke is lazy. He opts for a top-down, easy way to solve the hard problem by puming more money into the system since 2007 while goods and services in the system are not expanding, inevitably, that has caused inflation in the system. Evedently, costs of everyday stuff have spiked up in...

The Fed says inflation at the WHOLE sale level is zero, yet at the RETAIL level, you've got the short end. Does that mean producers profit on the difference? check out prices of everyday stuff since 2009 http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/pricebasket.html

Attached is the price charts of every stuff such as corn, soybeans, wheat, poultry since 1993,.... as the charts show, price of these commodities has increased since then, but it really accelerates since the FED run those quantitative easing operations. and the FED keeps saying inflation is at...

what I meant by "real wealth" in the post were the tangible physical things and its by-products created during those decades of growth such as automobiles, reconstruction of Europe after the war, US highway system, cars, auto parts, car services, car insurance, telecom infrastructure, computers...

and you call yourself sellindex :) I'm not talking about 2009 dip. I'm talking about the market at this moment. DJI makes all time high, but without the true fundamental catalyst to support it like in the 1950 decade was reconstructions from the war; 1960-1970s it was automobile, 1980 decade...

brokenboy has a point there! back in the late 1990's bull market, job creation was strong with the real jobs (400K/ month), even or 2007 bull market, job creation was also strong. by those standards, today job creation has been pathetic. the job quality also sucks. Mostly in service sector...

Mr. Thiel has an idea for addressing a nation building problem from a gambler mentality. As you also know, Wall Street is not the real economy! Yeah, let's see how soon his idea would turn US into a banana republic. you bet one of these 22 geniuses could come up with a brilliant idea for...

unconventional idea, but you wouldn't trust one of these teenagers to perform brain surgery on you! Bill Gates wasn't smart enough to design operating system for MSFT, he bought it from someone else. Bill Gates "stroke of genius" was his ability to see the application of a fairly new field at...
