Blessing? Man, what have you been smoking?! Here's an interesting simulated oil crisis scenario. Higher oil prices will NOT be good for the economy no matter what you might think. Don't be too narrow and think of outsourcing and hurting them. Higher oil prices hurt the ENTIRE GLOBAL economy...

Seems like these i-banks are getting into "daytrading" technology, b/c it's actually more advanced then what they have. I'm serious.

The writer isn't clear. But what he MEANT to say is that the U.S. union workers get ONE or TWO ($1-$2) MORE than the average Toyota autoworkers. BUT if you account for pension cost, health care, blah blah,etc. it swells up to an average of $55/hr. The workers dont' get paid $55/hr. BUT...

(Page 2 of 2) Since 2000, the Big Three automakers have lost eight points of market share just to their Japanese competition. Detroit now holds 57 percent of the American car market, while foreign automakers have 43 percent. Among the companies adding jobs, no company is courted more than...

It's NOT all negative outsourcing. Some of it is insourcing. Perhaps, one day when China and India become developed enough like Japan, perhaps they will start opening operations here in the U.S. So, it will reverses one day.. Except most people's bosses will be foreigners. HAHA. LOL...

You got some interesting points. But you need to understand a little clearer how markets work in an economic sense. The U.S. equities market cap has increased tremendously. It's probably in the several trillions now. Back in the 70s it was in the billions. But the REST of the world market...

It's all about the pocketbook! You don't hear too many Americans complaining about the Japanese nowadays, b/c Toyota and Honda opened up plants in Tennessee and the deep South. When people have jobs, they will not complain.

vhehn, you are right. Very good observation. CSCO, MSFT, DELL, and other hot stocks of the 90s took a decade to achieve their multi-billion dollars market cap. GOOG did it almost virtually overnight. By the same argument, if GOOG were to go up 60,000% it will be worth more than the...

Yep. It's capitalism when they get the multi-million dollars bonuses and paychecks. But when it's trouble time, forget survival of the fittest. Government, Please BAIL US OUT! How's that for capitalism? ;) We don't have pure capitalism in this country. If we did, then Chrysler would have died...

Yep. If you read WSJ and Barron's about a few months ago, they had article about how much cash Toyota had. They had something like $30-$40B cash or more and acting like a central bank in Japan by bailing our struggling companies.
