Even though the economy is recovering, and even though GDP is coming in even stronger than expected, look at defaults on mortgage loans: residential and commercial. Theyre just going straight up. All these defaults lead to foreclosures. Foreclosures continue to keep housing prices depressed. And as long [...]

2nd January 2010 by Simon Comments Off

We will touch on a lot of bases in this holiday issue of my weekly E-Letter. We start by looking at the latest economic data, and how hard it is to get a new job if you become unemployed. We also examine President Obama’s new “jobs program” that would spend what’s left of last year’s [...]

Is this another false alarm like July?

17th November 2009 by Simon Comments Off

Great artice by Chris Rowe. Based on this i’m lightening up a few of my bearish positions and hedging with some bullish ones.

“If you’re like me and just about every trader/investor I know in the market right now, you’ve been looking at one “false market signal” after another, one “whipsaw” after another, and one “head [...]

URGENT – Market has reversed and bears are now in control

3rd November 2009 by Simon Comments Off

Last week, 11%of all stocks (net)on the New York Stock Exchange broke through support levels, putting them on sell signals.

Baby Boomers set to shift 10 Trillion

6th October 2009 by Simon Comments Off

Issues of the Central Banks

1st September 2009 by Simon Comments Off

Important excerpt:
“Central banks may find themselves hiking into a weak recovery to quell asset prices, or they might compensate for the weakness in the interest rate and credit channels and allow asset prices to rise but risk inflating another bubble. Central banks could gain some much-needed flexibility by thinking outside the IT box – but [...]

Your average retiree is not prepared for retirement!

31st August 2009 by Simon Comments Off

I’m not sure what this means. If this article is true… and they have lost alot of the equity in their house… then maybe your average 65 year old will have to work until he / she is 75. How will that affect the economic recovery? How will that affect stage II of the decline [...]
