Some feel this was the strategy of the false god Roosevelt.

Perhaps…but Obama and crew have no excuse…we have excellent historical proofs which stimulus works…and which does not…and he chose to do what doesn’t work.

I believe he and congress are in damage control mode…they realize THEY are to blame for the meltdown…they didn’t enforce the regulation on the books…because they are all paid for…

AND now they are misdirecting the public’s attention to Wall Street…to keep themselves out of jail…or worse.

But as their CYA demolishes the greatest wealth producing entity in human history, and replaces it with their idea of what’s good for us and the planet…I can only hope enough Americans wake up to stop them.

Some feel this was the strategy of the false god Roosevelt.

John, yes. This is a classic bear market trap. The fundamentals that caused this mess haven’t improved, and they are in fact getting worse.

Gerald Celente been right enough to gain a respectful consideration.

Doesn’t mean he must be right this time too.

Dick Morris explains why the Fed’s actions won’t work…”you can’t push a string.”

It doesn’t matter if local banks have billions waiting to be lent out…they won’t lend it out until they are confident it can be paid back…that collateral really is worth xyz…

I have my eye on a closed repair shop, four bays…it went from 750 K to about 450K now…although I’ve been in a successful buisness for over 20 years, and its still profitable, no bank is lending in the southern California area…the bottom in real estate hasn’t been reached…they require a large down…and the SBA won’t lend to me…

Instead I gotta pay 13,000 in taxes…and higher use fees which may cause me to lay off people…

Some stimulus…

I suspect they didn’t want it to work…they wanted to do something so when the collapse comes…they can say they tried…and then introduce their facist socialist tryanny that perhaps will project the “happy face” of Orwellian fame.

For your own good, they will decide what you can eat, and think…for the good of the planet.

This is most assuredly a bear trap.
Unfortunately, for all of us.
But when gauging the timing on this, don’t forget that it is not only the usual gang manipulating prices, but our mighty Gov under the supervision of the Three Dumb Men, a.k.a., the Three Stooges – “Curly” Bernanke, “Larry” Geithner and “Moe” Obama.

It’s awful. Most people now are feeling a lot better with the market pop and all the happy talk BS coming from the Three Stooges – except from poor, frightened Larry, also known as Rabbit Boy, who needs a mouthpiece since he is constantly shitting his soon-to-be pawned suit pants and cannot speak except in breathless gasps.

Another clearly manipulated item is oil. By any measure, oil should be no more than $25 – and will be soon. All those dumbfuck traders who have been hoarding the stuff in tankers, tanks and probably empty wine bottles, will be forced to panic-liquidate those holdings, all at once.
That could spike oil down to $18 or so.
Hello “deflation”, goodbye phony prosperity.

I want to comment on your PCmag story about Microsoft’s brand image.

I think you are correct, that Microsoft’s products get downgraded somewhat by the image. But there are fundamental differences between their products and those of other companies. Microsoft makes “geek” products, with little thought to user experience. It’s not a brand perception that google is better than MSN, mac is better than vista, or anything is better than “the ribbon”.

Microsoft arrogantly ships crappy products because they they want the revenue, and they know they can cram it down the monopoly. This is analogous to Detroit before Japanese cars were imported. Remember when you couldn’t get a car with seat belts? Well, now you can’t get a PC that reboots in under 3 minutes.

Mr. Horowitz I dub thee, HumbleBee. Not to be confused with Bumble Bee (Federal Reserve) who has ‘airs’ and stings. The segment of the show about The Fed & cycles has me wondering about Clinton’s S&L thing. That is for later.
thanks, BuzzKill & HumbleBee
