Echos In The Stock Market

September 11, 2011

“History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.”–Mark Twain

It’s just an echo – echo – echo… 

Noting the trading patterns emerging from the last month or so I just have to point out that they are still on track to repeat 2008.  Not the precise picture or words but certainly the rhyme and reasons.

In Dead Cat Bounce or Everything OK Now?, I speculated that the market had another bounce in it that would soon come to an end.  I’d just like to state another related observation:  NFL scores should have as much consistency.  It’d make running a fantasy sports leagues a lot easier.

Google celebrates Web’s history -

September 5, 2011

Google celebrates the Web’s history and with that came a cool graphic.  The interactive graphic is like a light to a moth for someone like me who at one time was an early adopter and now thinks of himself as sort of a Webhead, someone who’s entire life revolves around the web.  If you’re like me then you’ll enjoy the graphic.

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?

The Lost Decade U.S. Style

August 10, 2011

Different name but same style.

Japan reacted to a huge downturn to their economy by cutting interest rates and printing inflation, all which contributed to their EXTREME national debt.

Now the Feds have announced that record low interest rates, which started dropping in 2008 and are now near zero, are going to continue until 2013 at least.

So we’re half way to Japan but this will get us through the elections. Right?

We know who to thank but will we remember?
