At this point deflation is a bigger worry than inflation

This is true. As a radio personality that I listen to says......"Somebody always has to be working" Either you're working, or your money has to be working, or the Federal tax base has to work for you, but regardless someone always has to be working to support you.

One of my current employees at one time was working 100-110 hour/wk between 2 jobs (about 50 with us, and 50-60 with another company). We eventually had to have a sit down with him and have him go part-time with us because he was literally delirious from exhaustion. He was sleeping 3...

Soon these same *ssholes will be telling you and I that we have to invest our 401k's and IRA's in government debt only because this way they can keep promising tax payer's money to those that help get them elected.

Congress should not even be allowed to invest in equities. They should only be allowed to put their money into government debt products while in office.

Federally supported student loans need to be phased out for liberal arts degrees, IMO. The Dems are always wanting to make it easier for people to go to college, but make no distinction between engineering/medicine/etc and those who are pursuing art history or sociology as a major.

Obama will support bailouts long enough to kick down the road long enough to get past the 2012 next election cycle.

Stockcharts.com has both indicators you are asking about. However, you have to join in order to get monthly charts. Their free version has just daily and weekly charts.

I feat this is true. They will stop at nothing to keep their overspending/vote buying going. It will probably start as 401k enrollees are automatically set to buy treasuries as a default setting. Then they will change it to you are mandated to put a certain percentage of your 401k...

Yes, I should say that I shoot for 16%+, but I kind of use 12% as my worst case scenario. If I can do that over the next 20 years, I will still be sitting very well. If I can average 16%......well you guys know how compounding works.

Not me. I have a nice income from my "real job"/business and trade on a monthly time frame to compound my accounts for retirement and to leave a sizable inheritance to my children. After studying trading for a number of years, I have determined that the odds are much better for me to go...

If your trading strategy doesn't incorporate stops, then you could place some stops far away, to prevent catastrophic losses. You should probaly have your account #'s/passwords written somewhere for someone you trust. I would like to prepare step-by-step instructions for my wife with...

It happens all the time that bad leadership is allowed to remain. And then when they do finally get fired, they are paid out massively.

I don't want to bailout Greece any more than you do, I was just attempting to speculate about why Obama would be very motivated to help Greece, via the IMF. I despise the Greek/socialist model and will be even more pissed at Obama if he forks over borrowed money that my kids will have to...

This is not true. I do however believe that Obama and the Democrats will fight tooth and nail to provide as much assistance as possible to Greece, because they realize that they are toast in 2012, if Greece tumbles. If Greece defaults, there will be some level of contagion in Europe and...

9% unemployment (which is going up) Another 10% that are underemployed Another 10-20% that are employed but feel like their job security is very low at their company A double dip in housing $14T in debt 47mm on food stamps...... Ya what's not to love about our economic...

This is just a negotiating tactic to get a subsidy in return for staying.

In case you missed the Alan Greenspan interview on CNBC the other day, here is a link. To summarize, the US is getting very close to the point of collapse. Action is needed in short order, or it's going to be a financial crisis of epic proportions...

It's a good thing that he knows what the future will be like. I've not really met anyone that can accurately predict how the future plays out but maybe this guy has that power?

Even if you set the "voter bond" at $2,000 it would pretty much knock out at least half of the Democratic/Socialist voting block. All the deadbeats would be gone. That is easily 30-40% of their voting block. Another 15% of their block would be wiped out because all of the retarded...
