      GM can sell 154,877 vehicles in this economic environment? GM dealers must be magicians or the number is bogus. Take your pick.

      How Wall Street Has Failed the Individual Investor
      Invest in shorts. And not the kind you find in your dresser drawer. A dart thrown at the NYSE followed by a short sale of the target any time in the last year would have been a winner. So invest in shorts. NOW!

      Why Bailouts Are Not the Answer
      Nationalize all failing industries to preserve jobs. Connect a money pipeline between the Treasury and these industries. Engage government employees to manage and run these industries. This is the wave of the future.

      Is the Fed Taking a Step Toward Explicit Quantitative Easing?
      If the banking system does not create the money needed to fuel the economy by its circular lend money, take in deposits and lend the money out again, etc, etc. then the Fed will have to step up to the plate and buy Treasuries to create the money. Why is the bank's money creation good, ie. not inflationary, and the Fed's money creation bad, ie. inflationary? With excess productive capacity for everything from cars to shoes to copper ingots going begging how can creation of money by the Fed cause inflation? If this country maintains a rule of law and a respect for government that gets the world's attention our money can go on and on and on. With Obama's election and assertive action on the economic front we are moving in the right direction here.

      Citigroup Forecasts High Distribution Cuts By Canadian Royalty Trusts
      Canroys are a wasting asset. The so called "dividends" they pay may be subject to the Canadian withholding tax but such payments are really just a return of the investors capital. And remember, the October massacre when these trusts start being taxed by the Canadian IRS as corporations is coming fast.

      Please, Just Don't Call Greenspan or Bernanke Masterminds
      The common wisdom that inflation is the debtor's friend is a lie. Deflation and zero interest rates is the salvation of borrowers like the US banking system and the US government.

      Preview from Europe: Hank Speaks, Stocks Sink
      Borrow at 1% and lend after bad debt write downs with a net of -1%. One big Attaboy to the financial geniuses who run our banking system. But what is the alternative? Turn it over to government "workers" to run? So we just have to keep shoveling money into the fire and hope that it goes out.

      Bilderbergs? One World Government? Tell that to the Chinese or the Muslims for that matter. The cultural differences are too great to even talk about such nonsense. If that is what the CEO's confab about when they get together no wonder our economy is in such sick shape.

      Five Things to Be Thankful for in This Market
      Most "major" companies will be setting profit records 5 and 10 years from now...unless they are out of business. The trick is to pick companies that will survive and I don't mean by being nationalized. Is Coach one of those "major" companies? To ask that question is to answer it.

      Junior Resources Stocks Likely to Continue to Crash
      Why buy hope in a hole when even if production is feasible would be subject to political confiscation, inflation in production costs, labor unrest and an environmental permitting process that can take years.

      How to Succeed in a Bear Market
      Dividends are not the whole story. Many companies pay dividends out of cash flow, ie depreciation expense, that should be reinvested in their capital base to keep the company viable. Other companies pay dividends out of borrowed money as they reinvest their profits in the business and had to take down credit lines, etc. to cover the dividend payout. Bot of these types of companies over time generally have a declining stock price so in the end the dividends you received were an illusion. You were only being handed back your capital investment and asked by IRS to pay a tax on it.

      Don't miss the 300 plus billion in toxic waste assets of Citibank the US government is going to suck up. This is on top of the trillions in Fannie an Freddie toxic waste and the vast amount of such paper that has been put up as collateral for loans from the Fed. The US government has become the debt holder's waste bin of last resort. How long can the dollar remain as the reserve currency of the world with such abuse?
