Obama Outlines Regulations Overhaul to Save Businesses About $10 Billion – Bloomberg

I’m a little miffed about this article.  No, not the fact that it was written nor what was written but that we’ve heard the same thing before from the “Hope and Change” President.  Then why this article from Bloomberg and why now?

This post may not make many friends with those I call ostiches but it’s an op-ed piece.  I don’t believe I can wake the dead anyhow.

Here is a good example of “bait and switch”.  This is how it works.

  1. Listen to the concerns of the opposing parties’ complaints.
  2. Offer a dog-and-pony show to show that you hear the complaints and that you are going to do something about it.
  3. Place blame on others as to how we got here.
  4. Vilify the action of anyone speaking out as to really say, “We will really listen, and then ignore you because you are just really parroting the villains in this situation.
  5. Do more of the same.
  6. Move on.  [.org?]  

Change we can believe in?

QE3: Bernanke and the Potemkin Economy | MND

August 7, 2011

One more article that might make good reading:

The Soviet communists duped foreign visitors into thinking that communism was a viable and prosperous system by steering them to sham factories, stores, villages, etc. that appeared productive, bustling, and attractive. In reality, Potemkin villages were like movie sets, built to disguise the widespread poverty and backwardness that characterized life in the “workers’ paradise.”

TOO MUCH DEBT!

June 8, 2011

Macro-trade-trend.  This is one of those articles that are going to cost a lot of trading dollars for those who don’t or won’t read it.  I haven’t posted much lately because of all the noise there is in the market right now but the article below isn’t noise and whatever side of the trade you’re on is going to cost to either cost you or make your year.  Good luck.  And now on to the article.

Additional author note(P.S.):  When it comes to the stock market any topping or bottoming isn’t a specific point but a process that takes time.
