Inflation is directly tied to what we do as traders and investors.. Many people may appreciate that inflation is not just swept under the table, example: poor arquement used [ does not matter in the Pinks OTCBB'S ] ....
Many do not just play the Pinks, main board folks understand this thread...Political banter also gives traders/investors a view into market sentiment....Discussion and knowledge are power..This thread is in the right place.
Also, if inflation is not a problem why all the Buzz with private citizen Greenspan and Fed Chairman Baranecke? Look at the market crash,or do you think Purl put a wammy on it because of the big shots who speak with forked tongues?

inflation numbers have a direct impact on the market... the market only grows if people have money to put in...
the market cannot feed off itself indefinitely... the managers of the market have to be paid too....
as it is? saving money in the US has been too low for decades...
wanna see where Bush got his idea for a "health savings account" ?
China's Patients, Students Create U.S. Deficit: Andy Mukherjee
June 6 -- In some Chinese hospitals, patients must wear stickers indicating how much they can pay to get well.
With the quality of treatment linked to the patient's financial means, unexpected illness is among the biggest reasons Chinese families are some of the world's most committed savers.
And it is China's frugality -- the savings rate has doubled in the past four decades to 50 percent of gross domestic product -- that's making it possible for the U.S. to overspend and run a record-high current account deficit, most of it with China.
Politicians in the U.S. blame China for manipulating its currency to gain an ``unfair'' export advantage.
i urge all of you to read this whole article. this is where we are going too... remember that China is a communist country... "spread democracy and freedom"? yeah, right...

WASHINGTON - Americans’ personal savings rate dipped into negative territory in 2005, something that hasn’t happened since the Great Depression. Consumers depleted their savings to finance the purchases of cars and other big-ticket items.
The Commerce Department reported Monday that the savings rate fell into negative territory at minus 0.5 percent, meaning that Americans not only spent all of their after-tax income last year but had to dip into previous savings or increase borrowing.
The savings rate has been negative for an entire year only twice before — in 1932 and 1933 — two years when the country was struggling to cope with the Great Depression, a time of massive business failures and job layoffs.

Im not sure bush can even read. have u guys noticed that he is never seen holding any reading material, nor does he talk about it? on 911 though, he was reading a 1st grade reader so hes good at that level.
bush and co are successfully giving all money to the rich. he has never tried to hide. they actually believe that only the superrich should have money.
so what we are left with is debt, layoffs, all that fun stuff. wars of stupidity.
no one in the world can understand why people vote for him. i know that religious lunies vote for bush but hes screws them all royally.
if the rich have all the money, then the rest of of will have debt, or nothing.

ugh, these markets are just miserable. every time i see a stock that looks like a good buy - it drops even lower. KSW - 3.75?! ELTK - $4? CLSI .012, LTFD 1.08, list goes on and on. even conservative stocks are getting smacked, just an ugly market. if it weren't for some good swing trades this week, would be down about 6% overall; still down about 4% this week overall as it is. yuck. am not selling much, but - am in no rush to buy either, edging most of my limit buys a little lower.

People will lose homes because they bought houses that they could never afford long term. A generation of idiots. Hardly one man's fault.

"People will lose homes because they bought houses that they could never afford long term."
Really? Home buyers who bought as little as five years back enjoy tremendous equity growth but cannot afford mortgage payments because of adjustable interest rates and because Bush has created an economy in which average American families can barely afford essentials of life. American families are living paycheck-to-paycheck or running up large debts on credit cards.
Where would you suggest our American families, especially young American families, buy affordable housing in urban and suburban areas in which they must live to find employment?
I cannot blame Bush? Quite the coincidence since Bush took office back in 2000 year our world economies have gone down the toilet, just like every business venture Bush ever touched over the decades.
You are a shallow thinker. You fail to know all "things" in our world are tied directly to our America. Our country is the center point of a world wide web and Bush is the spider.
America goes down, the world goes down.
Literally "everything" in our world reacts directly to what happens in America or what America causes to happen out in the world.
Bush is a first class idiot and to blame for current conditions of our world.

The way I see it is history is repeating its self.
The World is losing confidence in our leadership. Jimmy Carter revisited. To think, oh'well the market will just rebound, is foolish at best.

Bush has destroyed world economies and has destroyed world peace. Bush also surrounds himself with known criminals or those who are suspected of being criminals.
Bush is another Jimmy. Bush is another Nixon.
Jimmy Carter was and is a very honest caring man. Carter simply made for a lousy president.

Something that really cracks me up is the Megalithic banks make comments like " We have a whole new host of new products "...
Ya right, they produce nothing, but money peddlers.
Geat example of a " new product "
Long term varible no principle payment home loans. Wow thats not a product, it's called loan sharking!

Ha! Reminds me of a pumper criminal over in the NDOL comedy,
"...all new and improved NWOG."
Share prices continue to fall.
Markets are being clobbered really bad today. This is the worst I have experienced in many years, even as bad as the dot com debacle.
I would think easing of oil prices would boost confidence in other sectors. Not so. Cross sector crashing.
This will be a recovery long in the making.
Maybe in 2008 / 2009 when we are rid of Bush economies will rally and the markets will begin to swing upward. Till then, wear Depends because Bush will only worsen conditions.

sometimes pulling weeds is definitely more rewarding and productive than following the markets, agreed. slightly encouraging to see a bit of a bounce this afternoon, hope it continues but - who knows.
couldn't resist catching a few falling knives today: added to positions in IAIC, KSW, ELTK, EZM.
IAIC - hard to understand the trading. had a buy order out, not all-or-none, for 5000 at .451. got a fill for a lousy 500 shares, but i see a .421 also for only 500 shares filled at nearly the same time. also somehow missed BABB: had a buy order out for .87 and one filled at .855 and i got skipped over. am i the only one this happens to?
still can't seem to buy TCRS - just no trades. of course, am too cheap and stubborn to pay the ask, heh.

inflation primarily is because of uncontrolled deficit the country is accruing.. and losing investment to countries like china.. lease our bonds to them, and face the comedy when they dilute them... wondering wat will happen once oil starts trading in euro... how far will $ decline? how far can $ decline? what assets does it have which it has yet to mortgage? invariably the debt ceiling will be raised next year too, just pure commonsense. undoubtedly, $10B is in sight not too farfetched. my take.. defense stocks!!!

Inflation index will be getting a lot of spin today creating low liquidity accross the markets.
Traders not holding large posistions over week-ends, or for even overnight in many cases..CNBC
Watch for a very volitile week folks, trade um, don't fall in love with um just yet, will be time later to switch to a longer trading strategy.

Repo, watch for group pumps on the big boards, these guys got hurt big time and some shinanigans would not surprise me one bit..
Volume alerts on the cheap big board stocks is a must..I am very positive that there may be some very good 1-2 day trades coming!
