Why Isn't the Market Listening? »
Posted By Shana4Liberty 10 months, 1 week ago in NewsYou’ve probably seen the Disney film, Fantasia. In the segment called The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Mickey Mouse is the apprentice, and he decides to use some of the sorcerer’s magic while the boss is away. The experience is glorious, until he realizes that he can’t control it any more and he finds himself drowning in a self-created flood.

the image of water going where gravity sends it is useful. but the amount of distortion and unreality in the entire banking system is larger than any politician is willing to address, except maybe for ron paul.

Why Isn't the Market Listening?

The market is listening and the investors left in droves
It's obvious that the central bankers don't know what to do. Look at our Fed - they are out of ammunition
If you have been reading the reports coming out of Davos where world leaders are meeting, it is obvious they don't know what to do either
Now they want the markets and investors to help - help do what - lose more money?
The markets here are looking at the "stimulus" bill passed in the House and are rushing for the door
That should give you a clue about how effective they think the House plan is
As one article put it - the markets see "more pain, no gain" -

until and unless the Gov't fires up bad banks or some kind of analogue to the RTC where any value can be wrung out of the CDO and CDS paper, nothing is going to improve.

until that's addressed, the banks will remain broke.
this stimulus package is handwaving. expensive handwaving.
how would the gold standard help? that would deflate the purchasing power of our $ by 1000%. -

What I wonder is, how long will it be before Democrats resurrect their idea of economically targeted investments?

Here's what ETI's are. Back in the early 90's, the unions wanted a bone from the Democrats for all of their help in getting Clinton elected. Someone came up with the idea of the government telling you where you could and could not invest the funds in your pension plans and 401Ks. In government-speak, the politicians would provide a list of companies in which you could invest your pension and 401K funds .. and companies that were forbidden. How were these decisions made? The approved companies had to be "union friendly." This would mean that companies like Wal-Mart would be off limits for your pension and 401K investments, as would any other company that has managed to resist unionization.
My guess is that we'll see this idea popping up in Congress again pretty soon.
