This is the exact reason the USA has to print! Do you know what the consequences would be if deflation took hold and EVEN MORE people couldn't pay down debt?! I laugh at people who have no clue and critisize the printing. FYI - USA needs inflation to make it easier to pay their huge debts.

I love these world coming to and end articles! The more the better; makes me feel better about being long. The best part is the doom and gloomers are quick to say the USA empire is finished...In the same breath, they will also say "China is all smoke and mirrors. Don't believe anything...

No wonder you're so angry about this rally. Man, you must be pretty deep underwater given the bearishness you spew.

Indeed. Which is why the 90%+ of traders fail statistics that people throw around are bogus. That statistic may or may not be true, but even if it's true, it doesn't mean anything. You have Joe Blow come into the market and sell everytime his RSI says overbought. Shockingly, Joe Blow blows...

He is a very very smart man. I love when people doubt him.

Alot of angry bears in this thread. Clearly not making any money.

I think it will all depend on guidance and market share. Guidance and market share numbers will really tell a story as to who's making strides in the smartphone game.

I think the 1967 number of $12,711 has already been converted to 2006 dollars.

I disagree. The average family now WANTS two breadwinners. Why do they WANT two breadwinners? Because they have two SUV's, a brand new LCD flatscreen, and an enormous mortgage to pay for! I suspect that if the average family scaled back and lived 1960's style, they would be able to get by...

I agree with almost everything this guy has said. People need to get tough and suck it up. That being said, I'm also tired of people bitching and complaining. :p

You are correct about most traders. But I would also argue that many traders don't know how to properly use TA or even know what the underlying calculations of their indicators are. Slapping an RSI under your price chart and selling when the line crosses into overbought will not make you...

2009 profit and revenue guidance increased. That's all you need to know right there to answer the question of why it went up. Now, if it fails to meet those targets, then you could see a real bonafide sell off in CAT.

Nobody is predicting rising employment anytime soon, which is why they are extending benefits. Fed et al have continuously been stressing that unemployment will continue to rise and lag the recovery. Some people think economic recovery means instantly that all measures should be improving...

Cramer is bullish.

That thread was amusing. I love when cockiness comes back to haunt people.

Your point about new technology replacing old is valid. But as long as the increased productivity from the new technology outweighs the lost productivity on the replaced technology, the economy will grow.

Leverage has artificially increased growth, but that does not mean that real growth does not exist as well (i.e. the internet). Technological advances and inventions fuel economic growth all of the time. Just because we cannot forsee what will fuel future growth as of right now, does not mean...

LOL harsh man, harsh! But realistic.....I like it.

I don't doubt that government unemployment numbers are understated. But it's not due to not counting those who are not actively looking for a job. Consider the following (again, numbers out of my ass): USA population = 500 million Say there are 250 million BILLIONAIRES in the USA, who...

You mean buy and hold? What makes you think that strategy will work any better than it did in 2008?
