Housing Bubble, credit bubble, public planning, land use, zoning and transportation in the exurban environment. Specific criticism of smart growth, neotradtional, forms based, new urbanism and other top down planner schemes to increase urban extent and density. Ventura County, California specific examples.
Now that 7400 didn't hold whatsoever I think 6500 is our next test. If that doesn't hold....well I think we have more important things to worry about then money in the markets. Gold, guns and ammo come to mind. I have the guns and ammo.
So Obama says he is going to cut the deficit in half. The market reacts and gold falls......wait....1%.....On what should have been a profit taking day as gold broke $1000 the day before. The man has no credibility.
You know... when investors talk about hitting bottom it is usually a bad thing. Looking at this, I just can't imagine why.
Oh yeah, the market... DOW is bouncing back, might stay above 7k for the rest of the week, wouldn't bet on that though. Definitely see it breaking the 7k mark in the not to distant future.
It'll *really* matter once they run out of fools willing to finance it, and IMHO that'll happen before any third-half recovery gives him a chance to seriously curtail stimulus spending.
I give bottom 1 the edge over bottom 2. I am surprised that anyone still listens to bernanke after a couple years of off base comments. Wasn't it just a few months ago when commentators were saying bernanke would resign or be replaced early in Obama's admin.
Gov. Mark Sanford is positioning himself for a 2012 run (see his op-eds and tv appearances). He's taking the fiscal conservative, sound dollar route.

Dow to 3000. Thanks to me! :-p
Prechter said it's time to buy. Do you feel lucky?
Yummmmm!
Now that is the way to start the morning off. Some coffee, some sweet ass...who cares about the Dow.

Is that a "V" shaped bottom or a "UU" shaped bottom? If the girl would move we could probably see the bottom of that pool.

Aaaron,
We are starting to get into valuation territory. All we need now is capitulation and a risk discount.

The debt is going to finally matter. He needs to preside over the exact opposite of what he believe in. Government will shrink and get flatter.

Hoping 6800 holds, but...

Cut the deficit in half? So if it's 2 trillion this year (counting the bailouts and stimulus package), it'll only be 1 trillion next year?
According to the administration the debt looks to be:
2009: $2t
2010: $1t
2011: $1t
2012: $550b
Truth
2009: $2.7t
2010: $1.4t
2011: $1.2t
2012: no effin clue
Rob, I think I am ready to see a "top" in this market discussion. A nice perky top? With a tight range?

My financial adviser has strongly suggested I refrain from making excessive projections.
I'll see what I can do when she isn't looking.
Rocky - now that's a nice cup holder!
Weiss says DOW 5,000:

On youtube Glenn Beck has a "worst case" 2014 economic collapse panel discussion with DOW 2,800, all banks nationalized, 15% unemployment.
Oh - can't be gloomy anymore. Bernanke just declared the recession will be fixed this year. It's all sunshine and smiles from here on.

Bottom? We haven't even hit the mid-section yet. Bottom? That's funny.
Why chill your honey's thighs with a cold Bud?
Just party down in the local foreclosed home and use their tables.
Best of all, you don't have to clean up after yourself.

6969 is going to be here soon.
Mike,
Don't apologize. I was looking for exactly that image for a follow up post.
Nah, the markets gonna split, the best-run companies will gain & the rest will loll in the doldrums.
DOW: 3800
S&P500: 420

Shreve speaks out on octomom & the chimpanzee attack.
In each case, here’s one super-hyped media spitwad example of something gone terribly wrong at the hands of an individual who has proven to have made a series of very questionable decisions. This is what gets the focus? What about the countless sane, responsible people doing things quietly, doing things well? Why don’t we focus on them, and learn from them? That’s what I prefer to do.
What would kc do?
This blog might seem to be on its very last legs, but Mursting will never die!
