      Why China's Exporters Are Complaining Loudly
      Look the Chinese have been very smart about this. Through a cheap currency and cheap labor they have used exports to develop a broad spectrum of industries that export to developed countries. Along the way it means they have built the latest factories, trained a workforce and started to build a middle class. As that middle class evolves they will have the industry to support it and not be at the mercy of the developed world. Ideally that could mean that they will be less reliant on exports. As that happens they will let the currency appreciate and since by that time they have killed off domestic manufacturing in the developed world - they will still be able to export.

      The Financial News Shakeout
      Speaking of media - is there any way possible to get Chris Regan and Dennis Kneale fired. Without the Fox station from my cable provider, I have to switch to Bloomburg from 11:00 TO 2:00. For what its worth I'm also thinking of cancelling my RealMoney subscription - I fund myself at SeekingAlpha more frequently.

      Why It's Time to Be Invested in the New Recession
      I remember a time when sentiment said that a 200 PE or no PE was Ok if a company had a business plan that included the words 'dot com'. That didn't work out so well for a lot of folks. Unfortunately in the real world right now corporate profits are being juiced by a weak dollar at the expense of the consumer who will pay more at the pump and in the grocery store.

      No Hope Left for Crocs
      It has been amazing to me to watch positive reports on CROX from analysts and at the same time see knock offs of their shoes at Walmart, Target, and Big Lots selling for $3.

      Could Citi's Deal Signal a Turnaround?
      The hedge funds appear to be making a bet on government bailout of homeowners. Wouldn't it be funny if the bailout made them another round of billions iin profits.

      Did C get $12B or did they make a loan get the transaction done?

      35 Stocks That Ben Graham Would Like Here
      I always love these Graham pieces because every author somehow ends up with different results. Forbes just ran one from Validea and of course - no companies show up on both lists.

      Commodity Forecasters See Prices Declining
      I can believe those charts IF we have a pretty broad and widespread recession. If the Fed keeps printing paper, however, in an attempt to prevent one, those charts will be totally bogus.

      Housing Market Tracker - A sampling of Macro Effects of Housing
      I find it interesting that commentators like Cramer are suggesting that the government buy and then bulldoze foreclosed houses in order to prop up the housing market by reducing supply. That kind of thinking which helps the wall street mortgage securities prices but kills home affordability is just plain nuts. I'm sure some of our politicians will be proposing it soon however.

      "Reluctant Banks" Let Defaulted Borrowers Stay in Homes
      Marty has got it right - Infrastructure jobs in the US will also create jobs here rather than in China. Instead our politicians will pay back the lobbyists through giveaways to home builders. Absolutely nuts!
