I do not believe that US Economy can go dumps just a few Investment Bankers had been irresponsible to create funny products for self benefit. Just see the infrastructure, the great manufacturing industries, the mineral resources, its army, technology, clout in World Politics, great understanding of the world situation(except ofcourse its being taken for a ride by the cunning Paks) etc. US and thus world economy will recover(like a auto battery going dead when you put the headlines on overnight and then becomes okay once recharged) with a couple of jump starts and recherges. US citizens should become more responsible if not already. Human endevour over the ages has been always to devise wayouts for all calamities

George,

Where were you two years ago when I was predicting this current Depression (yes I used the d word) and talking about most everything we our now witnessing? You need to go back to Economics 101. The stock market always bottoms before the economy. It did in November of 1932 even as the economy was still sinking into Depression. It also bottomed in May of 1974 right in the middle of the recession. I could give you many more examples, but I'm sure you get the picture.
Of course, stocks could go lower, but they are obviously very close to a bottom. Don't blame me George if you miss this bottom….

George,

Don't think of what others say as you are correct. One has to only view the larger picture of the U.S. lack of manufacturing along with upside down wages and realize that this is truly the disintegration of the economic system that we have all become too accustomed to. The administration is more or less merely addressing cash flow rather than economics which is suppose to be in searh of a cure – not some superficial bandaid. These under financed cash flow measures will only came back to haunt us even more. But once again this is but one person's opinion – based on fact and past performance.

When the brightest are turned into financial engineers instead of inventors of real products,
When actors and the ball player are held in greater esteem than the doctors and teachers,
When we elect idiots to office that foster these values, because they are funded by them
Then people like Soros can talk their book and get everyone to believe they are sooth sayers of the future.
Tomorrow most will go to work and the system will eventually correct itself.

It all makes intersting reading but a word to the wise 'this too shall pass!'
Humans are resilient and will adopt and survive. Americans are creative and will over come.
Mark my word , next year all this doom and gloom will be forgotten.
If you want to take chance and make some money , good for you.

It is very clear to see how closely money and politics are co-mingled. Republicans want to blame everybody but themselves and threaten to cancel subscriptions to any media that points a finger their way. They don't want to recall 12 years of do-nothing, incompetent, cronyist, isolationism that brought the nation's business to a standstill circa 1920-32. They want to forget the voodoo deregulation dances of Reaganomics and another 12 years of incompetence that lead to the Savings and Loan collapse. It's typical of Republicanism to create a mess and then complain as other people go about cleaning it up!

in glancing over the article to predict such demise- how can you advertize the next great oit boom on the same page–is this service just another catch all net.

"He (its ((Republican)) party leader) then revealed that not one House member even took the time to read the bill." Like they had a chance to choose to read 1074 pages in a few hours! Your writer is being misleading and shows an unwarranted anti-Republican bias!
I'll be re-evaluating my new subscription if more balance isn't exhibited.

Interesting that Soros would be speaking out about more gloom and doom coming our way – since he's significantly responsible for our current situation. Soros was "grooming" Obama monetarily for his role as CIC from the mid-80s, investing millions in Obama's rise to power. Soros got what he paid for when Obama walked into the White House. It would seem that this crisis we as a nation now face is, also, some part of his diabolical scheme. Either that or he's just plain stupid…which I doubt. Misguided, yes – but not stupid.

I generally like your suggestions and the way you analyse and make evrything so simple. May I please request you to explain me why gold-oil ratio is not in their historical average of 12-14 and what are the consequences?

Hi George!
Well, it's been about 20 years, and we're both grey heads now, but you clearly haven't lost your touch. You still manipulate the ignorant and credible press to to talk the market into your shorts. Tell us George: boxers or briefs?
