I agree with the previous poster on U6. When you add the underemployed, you get a much higher figure. U6 is a better gauge of financial stress as well because the lifestyle they have been accustomed to may not be maintainable.

Calente probably has the most pessimistic outlook of anybody I have heard, but some of his arguments do have merit. I do believe the last bubble has been played to prop up the economy. This President and his Congress are doing just the opposite of what should be done to bring us out of this...

Thank you intradaybill. Good points. You are correct. The bond bubble is probably next to pop.

I would like for you to state your proof, either technical or fundamental. It's not because I necessarily disagree with your position, because a test of the March low is likely. But a loss of almost 2000 points in a week? That would require a catalyst. Here is my take. The 8800-9000...

Absolutely not! I would have respect for them if they presented themselves for what they actually were: a brokerage house offering highly levered accounts for active, experienced day traders. I'm sure their business model centers on their brokerage service as their main profit center because...

If a Bright trader is on a losing streak, don't expect a phone call asking you what is up, if everything is OK, if they can help. Expect a phone call asking you to put more money in your account. The initial three day "sign up" seminar, all their live trading or sample trades are with 1000...

Don't go with Bright. You get nickeled and dimed to death. Trust me.

It might not be so bad. I don't think all this wealth, whether real or faux, added any lasting happiness. On the contrary, seems like everybody is in therapy now.

We would all still be enjoying the Golden Age of Prosperity if asset inflation was kept in check and debt levels rose gradually. All the goats we are pointing out, from Carter to Bush, would be heroes of capitalism. All it takes is to look at any chart to see that an uptrend starts gradual...

Go back even further, 1997 Community Reinvestment Act, signed by Carter, which encouraged banks to give mortgages to those who shouldn't have one. This program was greatly expanded under Clinton. Reagan was big on deregulation of the markets, which sounds good, but only works when the...

It's always easy to ask this question when it is somebody halfway across the world who dies. Any person who dies is somebody's son or daughter, mother or father, sister or brother, best friend, etc. A death never occurs in a vacuum... somebody else is affected. I would never want to be in...

I'm going to risk sounding ludicrous as well, but I've felt for a long time that the elitists, including many at the UN, would rather just see mass starvation instead of the logistical and political problems associated with feeding the world. You know these people... the ones that want to abort...

There are currently hundreds of thousands of unfilled positions in the medical fields (especially nursing). There are still quite a number of IT jobs in my neck of the woods. We've been graduating a bunch of 18 year old dolts from our "educational" system for a long time now who don't want to...

We are having a severe drought here in SE Texas. Central TX is having the worst drought in 100 years. There isn't a lot of crops in these parts except for livestock feed. It is mainly cattle country. I've often wondered what the tipping point is that would turn our civilized world into...

People stayed home. People didn't have to fly across the globe to have a "nice vacation". People only had one hobby, not six. People considered gathering with friends and having good conversation entertainment. Kids walked to where they needed to go or rode their bikes... parents were not...

Yeah.. no joke dude.

No, didn't you hear him yesterday? The recession will be over THIS YEAR. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Somebody please explain that to me how this will be possible? Maybe for the banks because they will be bailed out. Not for the millions of main street folks who have negative equity in our homes.

Pensions, like most investments, depend on asset inflation to stay solvent. With assets such as real estate and stocks in a deflationary or stagnant period that can last decades, companies like GM will be forced to restructure their pension plan just to stay in business.

:D :D :D :D Good comeback!!!
