Where is utopia if the USA has an ugly system? When was the system not corrupt if it is now corrupt? Who exactly are the rich profiting from the Iraq war? Jas - buy more puts. Permabear - buy more gold. Be happy.

In case any of you need to know the PANIC button has been hit.

Why did Bernanke go to Congress to ask for immediate help? He found out that he couldn't perform. I told people months ago that Fed is impotent because it abused Pushing Debt like a madman (evil mad and not crazy mad).

Chickens are coming home to roost.

Slaughter of America Pigs (Scam Lovers) during 2008-10 will be fantastic. And deservedly so. We need to get the money off the hands of dopes who have been feeding the Crooks.

» permabear - Is Norm right?

http://www.safehaven.com/article-9068.htm

I've been doing a bit of reading on secular bear markets. Michael A. Alexander has written books on stock cycles and secular bear market investing. He predicted a secular bear in advance of the 2000 collapse, so the guy has some credibility (although his history of predictive timing has been somewhat off). The above article, written in December, supports Norm's view that there is more life left in this bull market. Of course the market has fallen a great deal since this article was written so I don't know if the author has rethought his view. But if his above view is right, Norm's view will be vindicated. The Fed and powers that be will somehow pull a rabbit out of the hat and relight the cyclical bull market, before the final collapse sometime between 2009 and 2011.

Personally I'll stick with my own view that the bear market has begun.

If we are expecting a severe 'bear' market, a 'false dawn'- probably right around elections (surprise!) is to be expected. 1) a 'false dawn' is quite common before the last leg of a severe 'market crash', and 2) you can be sure that BB and his gang and 'W' and his gang- good Republicans all- will pull out all the stops to get an up market and at least an apparent amelioration of any recession- just before the election.

I know the guy well and he is a certifiable dope. You need evidence?

He developed a new valuation measure that he calls P/R ratio, where R stands for "resource."! Also, the dope started writing books a year or two after he ever heard of the concept of the Longwave while having a full-time job.

These simpletons are really annoying. I suggest you ignore him.

BTW, don't worry about Norm being right. The Big One has already begun in 2007 and nothing good that impotent Bernanke and Bush can do. Credit Crises lead to depressions and we are already on the road.

S&P500 Currently Trading (In Futures Mkt) at up 2% in 2.5 years and up 6.5% in 9.5 years

Under performing the 3-Month US Treasury Bills for these periods!

9.5 years ago is when I posted my best advice and best bearish Scam Market strategy called Six-Pack. It is beating the crap put of "long-term bulls." As an addicted speculator I help myself to the 36-Pack.

In another 6 months we could well have negative 10-year real return for S&P 500!

S&P500 is down more than 10% for the 8.5-year period and even more from the March 2000 peak. Long-term, Buy-and-Hope, eh?

Pigs and Goats are fattened to be slaughtered.
