34 million Americans are currently unemployed

  1. Using obama admin logic, rising unemployment is the sign of improving economic conditions because it encourages govt spending and everybody knows the more the govt spends the richer we all get.

    So lets hear it for ever higher unemployment: hip hip hooray!

  5. Dow and S&P will still hit new highs today, can't fight the Fed.

  6. I would swear last year there was a small problem with world financial markets due to excess liquidity.

    So what does the fed and world banks do, drum roll please... keep interest rates at zero for the foreseeable future!


    Gee maybe my memory is bad or they are now saying they were wrong last year.

  8. To Everyone,

    What are your views on the present economic scenario?

    Do you all think Dow Jones will sustain its current levels for a long term? Is any correction/corrections expected shortly?

    We look at the factors like Weak US$ and the prices of Gold plus the stiumulus provided by the FED.. Does it all sum up to another bubble in formation?

    OR Is the economy taking a 'V' Shape recovery?

    All views welcomed and highly appreciated.
