And yet banks won't lend. Instead, they'll give the essentially free money to their trading desks to make risky bets or invest overseas.An Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08127942464037329065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352945028936683227.post-51480645441081099312009-11-03T19:28:30.734-08:002009-11-03T19:28:30.734-08:00There will come a time after the next crash when P...There will come a time after the next crash when Paul and Kucinich and maybe even Grayson have given up, when we'll look back on these guys and say, hey, they were right 10 years ago. But while GS and Timmy continue to pull all the strings, anything is fair game. Rates will remain low for a while yet, jobs are still being lost.AXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03884523657411376448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352945028936683227.post-9188583852162280142009-11-03T18:52:34.988-08:002009-11-03T18:52:34.988-08:00Ax...

I counted on a more parcipated drop in the market pre-election... However, Buffet's arrival on the white stallion saved the day... I remember the last time he rode in, there was a sharp drop... yet a trun-around where he made money in the long-run.<br /><br /><br />The Fed will be forced to makea move on interest rates... oil and metals will be forced to surrender some of their games... the spector of inflation looms in the dark. Yet, any move will kill an already feeble housing market...<br /><br />Interesting though... the weak dollar may send Europe back into Recession Land before they ever offically leave.... Teh real question maybe how to shake the Chinese Yuan... currently pegged to teh U.S. Dollar.... What would the esteemed Representative from Texas Ron Paul say?https://www.blogger.com/profile/04129109858371805563noreply@blogger.com
