Thank you business news media

dpdoor — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 20:00:44 GMT

The Business News Media is blaming our problems on one specific problem at a time, like the Fiscal Cliff or Greece or some other end-of-the-world crisis. Then when we fix or avert that crisis the market rallies in joy. But why? the problems are not Greece or the Fiscal Cliff or the deficit the problem is "the party is over."We all had our house go up a quarter million dollars over just a few years time, we spent it and now the houses a...

Is this it?

dpdoor — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 18:37:26 GMT

Every recession in my lifetime has been quickly followed by an improved economy with the Dow climbing to new record heights. I got to the point were I said “why does everyone sell their stocks when they know next year it will bounce back?”

I wondered what it was that made Wall Street so nervous in the first place. I suppose it was the fear that we may have another melt down like in 1929 and the 10 years that f...

Oct 8 best reports in decade!

dpdoor — Sun, 07 Oct 2012 11:50:40 GMT

Remember last September? How the little country of Greece was going to destroy the entire world economy. The fear was so high the stock maker tumbled for months all the way into Sept of 2011. My retail store had one of it's worst sales of the recession in September and so did many companies. This Sept in comparison is way up. It has doubled! Wow that is great. Actually it is average sales but compared to last sept it is fantastic. I fe...

Fed Muni Bonds

dpdoor — Sun, 19 Aug 2012 16:45:18 GMT

It seems that the next fed move would be to buy municipal bonds. The largest employer in many cities is the local government itself. Many cities are in drier straits and several have recently filed for bankruptcy protection. I am not very familiar with bonds but it seems that the interest payments on bonds is a stress on city and state governments. If the fed were to buy these bonds they could lower the interest rates on the bonds lowering the l...

The biggest mistake is never making mistakes

dpdoor — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 06:39:43 GMT

I just want to remember that. What does it take to never make a mistake? I would never be able to do anything original. I would not advance my life or be happy with it. If I never pitch a ball I will never walk a batter, if I never invest I will never loose in the market. If never making a mistake is more important then accepting mistakes then i will never advance. I sold off in 2007. I bought ford at $1.75 in '09 I went short on gold after it's...

Big Rally Oct 5, 2012

dpdoor — Sun, 20 May 2012 20:43:45 GMT

Oct 5 2012 is most likely to have a very large up swing. It has to do with the bond market being closed; stock market opened; the last important Employment Situation report before the close of the last month before the elections. Over the last year or more, they have hit us with bad news and bad reports on holidays where the stock market is closed and the bond market is open. This helps keep interest rates down while minimizing the damage to the...

The Last Big Drop Before Elections

dpdoor — Fri, 11 May 2012 19:17:40 GMT

Over the next month major decisions need to made by the worlds central banks. Is there enough of a crisis to inject large amounts of cash into the system? Or can they just sit back and see how the economy does with out their help? The decisions over the next month will greatly effect the growth of the economy. Do we need help? Of course if the news of the worlds economy is bleak enough they will have to help.

The best way to lower interest rates is to upset the stock market. With a volatile market more money goes into bonds which lowers interest rates. So if the fed does nothing then rates will go down without printing money. By July they can pump up the hiring at banks and government controlled business to still get a stock market rally in time for the elections.

Man-ip-ulation nation

dpdoor — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 20:04:59 GMT

Worst week since 1932 OR last bad wk of depression

dpdoor — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 15:13:59 GMT

The Market just posted the worst Thanksgiving week since 1932, 1932 was the bottom of the Market Crash. Using history as a guide, this week was nothing to worry about.

Reprint of 2008's prediction for 2009

I said this in 2008 and for now it seems to have come true.

Traders are still optimistic from there 20 years of experience as seen in the quick rallies. They keep thinking this is a bargain and it’s time to rally. But consumer spending was very high the last several years it is hard to ...

How to win election

dpdoor — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 16:46:45 GMT

Most people think that the economy is heading down but consumers were actually buying more up till September's news media hype over the Stock Market drop. With interest rates low and incredible tax deduction for business to buy equipment (including vehicles) and to do leasehold improvements we should end the year with a bang. So why is unemployment going up and the market going down?

A few months ago the stock...

Wall Street sucks the life out of Main Street

dpdoor — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 14:24:38 GMT

Small business are responsible for 97% of all exports from the United States. The big guys build factories over seas the small guys build things here. It is Main Street that Exports and it is Main Street that Employees most of America.

It is Main Street that is paying for Wall Street's mistakes and it is Main Street that now has to pay the banks of Wall Street to stay in business.

not yet, not before he

dpdoor — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 04:45:55 GMT

Don't get sucked into the market on a 200 point rally this week, the market will still go down until Obama gets what he wants (from congress), It will rally at the end of month if he gets the votes and if the fed helps lower interest rates and helps more with SBA loans.

Does Obama cause the market to go down to force Congress to act? Would he launch investigations and law suits at prime targets? Would governm...

Market Manipulation for profit and political gain.

dpdoor — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 17:42:48 GMT

The market manipulators effect politicians decisions and make a lot of money in the interim. They will run the market down to get day traders and investors to sell and even sell short, then the manipulators buy in and run the market up, short sellers have to cover and the market takes off. This gives the manipulators tremendous profits. The Timing always seems to be when it will give Wall Street and Obama the most advantage to government decisio...

Peak or Boo?

dpdoor — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 19:30:48 GMT

Why is it that when people talk about gold prices they use the word "peak". "It hasn't peaked yet" or "it has a log way to go before it peaks". When they talk about stocks they don't say "GE hasn't peaked yet" or "Apple hasn't peaked". And what is on the other side of the peak? Is it like the peak in 1980 were went from the low $200 range to 900 in two years then dropped 50% in less then a year a...

Print more money to make it more valuable

dpdoor — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 22:39:07 GMT

Just a confusing thought I had. If we print more money then investors buy more gold.

As I understand it we are the largest holder of gold reserves.

When the dollar drops 1% gold goes up 2 or 3%.

The more dollars we print the lower the dollar goes and the more gold goes up (3 to 1.)

So United states is ...
