Tarpley has written an excellent article, "Obamavilles in America" , in which he compares the shanty towns of the 1890s, the tents in Hooverville in the 1930s, and now we see tent cities once again in Sacramento CA, as well as other American cities. Mr. Tarpley lays the blame squarely on the shoulders of the bankers and their highly leveraged, Ponzi like derivative schemes. America has been sold out, to bale out the bankers. The bankers don't care where you live, as long as they get theirs.

I checked out your website and it brought up the issue of people working from their homes. There are some disadvantages, but that is what we have done for a long time and it's working pretty well. It cuts down on overhead and we get a break on income tax deductions by declaring depreciation. I have another question: If the big three declare bankruptcy on chapter eleven, how will that affect the companies whose major business is supplying parts for auto manufacturing? As far as the future is concerned, the landscape is going to be different. I heard some "experts" talking on FOX this morning and they are really trying to sell reinvesting in the market with all kinds of promises of a huge rally after things settle down and I think they're full of it for two reasons. First they are assuming the current situation will be resolved soon, within the next two years and second, they are assuming people who have seen their savings dwindle will be willing to take another chance on the market. One last thing we have talked about is where the new technology will come from to reinvigorate the American spirit. It could be something so bizarre most of us wouldn't be able to comprehend how it will change our world. Nano tech is one possibility and another is the development of completely new materials which will be lighter and stronger than anything which exists today. Replacing plastic, which requires petroleum and isn't easily biodegradable (how many recycle?), might seem impossible but so was plastic and aluminum at one time. The industrial revolution brought about many changes which changed our lives, but we seem to be stuck in the past and use all our resources for war. LD, are private investors manipulating the market?

Senator Brownback, in advocating for the airplane manufacturers in his state, pointed out that only 1 in 10 airports in this country accomodate large jets, creating a necessity for companies to have their own small planes. Congress may have felt good giving those business owners a black eye, but that does not change the fact that these are good jobs for Americans. Cal Thomas did an article about the cancellations of business conferences that seem lavish in todays economy, but actually are causing large numbers of lost jobs in the hotel industry. Corruption in government...corruption in business. Choose your poison! LD, two things caught my attention this last week.

[snarky on sunday]

Pushing toy stuffed bears through a meat slicer, the screaming, peripatetic CNBC anchor Jim Cramer declared that he “had unbelievable guts to call a bottom,” and said:

“I am indeed sticking my neck out right here, right now, declaring emphatically that I believe the market will not revisit the panicked lows it hit on July 15. and I think anyone out there who’s waiting for that low to be breached is in for a big disappointment and [they’re] missing a great deal of upside.

Stop waiting, [and] buy the next dip because I think it might be the last big one.”

At least in Elkhart County, RV capital of the world now to forever. Unemployment may be 19.2% (up 3% Dec-Jan) and hundreds of manufacturers, suppliers or related businesses have closed or moved away; but all people can talk about is when financing will open up again allowing for the sale of more trailers.

A lot of analysts believe that we have lost a significant percentage of investors from the stock market given both the performance of th emarket and the lack of confidence in the economy. What happens as a result of that? The market languishes and is dominated by day traders who trade in a momentum style of trading. That style can create short sharp downward adn upward moves. I ignore it. I do not think the government would look to manipulate the stock market but I appreciate your line of thinking because it is always prudent to keep your guard up. I woudl not get overly concerned about it though. Oowawa….the strong close, in my opinion, was nothing but a small amoun tof short covering in an overall thinly traded market.

Here it is: http://www.youtube..com/watch?v=lNS8IY_Td14 Business is definitely shrinking but I think inflation is already afoot. Shrinking business normally means falling prices as businessmen are willing to lower their margins to keep customers coming in the door. But I'm noticing prices heading up. Comparing the increase in the money supply in the last three months with what it has been is mind-blowing. I think the fear the populace is feeling about the economy and their futures is soon to spread to the Obamacrats as they realize that O's inflation is going to blow them sky high.

It looked orchestrated. Could a government possibly engineer such a sudden jump? If it were possible, would it be illegal for a government to manipulate the market in this way? I guess I'm the suspicious sort. LD, I have a question: I was very puzzled by the sudden upward burst in Friday’s stock market in the last half hour before the close. It looked orchestrated.
