  • Obama Doubles Down
    Living in a retirement community will show you how many seniors depend on SS and Medicare for their survival. Cutting any of these funds to the exisitng retired would create panic and increase the poverty level dramatically. Most ordinary workers that are now retired absolutely depend on that monthly check to pay their food, utilities, medicines etc etc etc. Cutting off existing recipricants would be cruel...MarvinMBA

  • The Economic Crisis vs. The Crisis in the Economy, Part II
    The author is right on with the comments about the International Political Economic Model now becoming important. Coordination with our trading and investment partners on a world wide basis is exactly what is needed to help contain the volatility we are going thru now and in the future...MarvinMBA

  • First Call of a Double-Dip Recession: Setting Up a Market Bottom?
    Wow...trying to call bottoms has become a full time job. Thats just what we need to get the economy growing again as well as the stock market and its JOBS. Until that happens stay on the sidelines and forget about history.MarvinMBA

  • The Riskiness of Bonds
    There's no better place to put your cash than FDIC insured CD's in my opinion. The next round will be inflation and Treasuries will be dropping like rocks so the next round will be to pick up some of those Treasuries after they bottom out and you will have the cash when the drop occurs to do so. ...MarvinMBA

  • Trust: The Biggest Casualty of 2008
    Obama and his experts are smarter than the author thinks. His appointments reflect the individuals that know previous success and will guide our economy forward as best it can be under the circumstances created by the Bush Administration. MarvinMBA

  • Turning Nothing Into Something
    Of course there is a blame game and the Boss in the White House has to be the Commander and Chief and be responsible...there is no one else that deserves the ultimate winner or loser status. But we are certainly beyond that now and I suppose looking forward instead of backward will provide the most benefit. In actuallity this Administration seems to want to socialize our economy even as it pledged to negate any left of center thinking in its administrative appointments and litmus test..ironic indeed, the keeper of the Republican Truth just left all the left wingers in the door and in fact turned themselves from ardent Republican capitaliists into Ultra Left Wingers. Yes, the canvas has changed and the inks have changed so the picture going forward will certainly look a lot different than past models of our economy. Can you guess what the country will look like 10 years from now???? MarvinMBA

  • Can Deflation Be Avoided?

    Deflation...you kidding...were already into a DEPRESSION that I suppose could last a few years. Its hard to pump up the economy without job restoration/growth and this is what we should all be looking for...work work work either by private or government sectors...Obama promise of jobs will help but its going to be a long time coming before we see any results on the economic numbers. Also markets have been distorted by government interventions in major industries and we do not have a new economic model of how this will work out so any projections about timeing will be just a rats ass guess...MarvinMBA

  • Preventing the Depression of 2009
    The author of the article completely neglected the role of Fiscal Policy in trying to get the economy moving again. Reduce taxes 50 percent across the board and then you will see some major action...MarvinMBA

  • Welcome to Parity
    Buying into todays Treasury bond market can tie your money up for years without return or if you need you bucks you will take a big hit. As far as I'm concerned keeping your money close and available in short notice say 90 days or less is the smart way to go without risk of interest rate exposure which is going to burn a lot of long term bond holders...this is the next bubble in my opiinion..MarvinMBA

  • How Bonds Could Fund the Deficit
    Buying into any debt at these almost zero interest rates can be very hazardous to your financial health. You are giving money away at todays interest rates and you will be a big loser going forward if you need to cash them in as interest rates rise and they will. So you will get hit two ways...1. Virtually no return on you investment and 2. Loss of capital... Investing today in long term Government or private paper for peanuts is going to be another bubble that will take away your nest egg...MarvinMBA

  • Book Review: Beat the Market, by Charles Kirkpatrick
    I have a book with over 300 financial ratios that can predict and describe anything about the company. You could also write a book on how to use these ratios for almost any analysis or comparison you would want to make.

    Ratios by themselves are meaningless. Looking for successfull business models is the most important way to find investment opportunities. They exist in information technology, environmental products/projects and the drug discovery start ups....MarvinMBA

  • Crash Confidence Looks Bullish
    We are in a new financial world that has not yet been modeled by our so called financial experts. Guesses based on past economic/historic modeling are doomed to failure. MarvinMBA
