      What Will the Baby Boomer Bust Mean for Equities?
      Mr Leaf blower and Ms Walmart checker aren't going to be buying stocks when the peak of the boomers hit retirement. If were lucky, we may get a Dow up to 12500 in the next 4 years.

      General Electric: Genuine Risk of Collapse?
      Sounds like the only thing that will save GE is World War 3!

      Real Price of Gas Approaches a Historic Record-Low
      Yeah! But my paycheck isn't inflation adjusted. And didn't we get a $150 billion
      tax rebate less than 6 months ago that didn't do squat? More lipstick for this pig,
      please.

      Peak Oil's Bell Is Ringing
      Our present oil situation reminds me of the earthquake in Indonesia a few years back. Instead of running for the hills, people were on the shore picking up fish and seashells. The tide is about ready to come in.

      The Winners Will Be Those Who Look to Gold and Commodities
      I already see signs that the American driver is returning to his old ways.
      Just as $145/barrel was unsustainable, $60/barrel even more so. Oil and
      gold will adjust upward accordingly.

      Should We Really Bail Out the Big Three Automakers with $73.20 Per Hour Labor?
      Sounds expensive, but let's crunch some numbers. I pay some guy $11.00/month to pick up my trash 4 times. It takes him about 45 secs to pick up my trash.

      Let's see; $11/4 =$2.75 per pick up. x 60 min/hr = $165/hr. x 60/45 = $220 per hour. This guy is non-union and more likely than not an illegal alien, so the trash hauler is making a mint. $73/hr doesn't look so bad viewed in this context.

      The Perversion of American Capitalism
      I concur. The situation that exists today punishes savers and rewards spending, by both government and individuals. Bailouts only encourage this behavior.
      Contributions to 401ks are decreasing rapidly, because there is less disposable income, and the middle class has come to realize they can never save enough for a comfortable retirement, so why try.

      Put your faith in gold, guns, and gas.

      The Shallowest Generation
      Maybe we should have all become hippies, instead. I'm tired of taking the blame for the ills of this country. Defended it in the 70's & early '80s, went into electronics manufacturing, and I'm holding on for dear life. If I get 5 years retirement, I'll be lucky.

      So We Find a Bottom - Then What?
      Debtacid:

      I've always felt shorting or betting on losers was equivalent to communism,
      but i'm afraid your right. Following the Japanese example of priming the pump will probably lead to the same results. Having been born at the absolute peak of the baby boom does not leave me with a warm fuzzy feeling when it comes to stocks.

      Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News
      You don't have to go back quite that far. Taking us off the gold standard,
      and stealing from the Social Security Trust Fund are the two major culprits
      of our economic plight. Don't forget most of this debt was racked up during the past 25 years when alleged conservatives were in charge.

      Taking us back to the whites only, country club mentality of the '50s won't accomplish squat.

      Abundant Opportunities in Bear Markets
      One only recovers from a bear attack if the bear doesn't take your arms or legs off, and your not too deep in the forest. Since our political and economic leaders are playing the short term gain game, investors should do likewise.

      $2.58 and Counting
      Yeah. And I believe inflation is averaging 3.5 % year so far this decade, even though money supply has doubled. I believe that Republicans want more economic regulation, and Dems want lower taxes. And i believe the tooth fairy will bring back my 401 K losses, and we are headed for another golden age for our economy.

      Whither Canada's Tar Sands?
      Sadly, energy production is one of the most intensive uses of energy, and the return ratio gets worse every year. We simply have to get off the non renewable merry go round. Any project started in this century probably has no profit margin @ $70/barrel. ANWR and offshore drilling are just too
      big a capital risk for returns in the next 3 -5 years.
