Yes. Distraction with bread and circus made for t.v. "wars" in the middle east.
All troubles will be over though as USNORTHCOM will be activated in 8 days. |

Legs,
That New World Worder scenario is really not what I am asking about. US economy = Cornerstone of World economy...for now. If we are tumbling, are we being replaced, or is there another conerstone already waiting? Spain once ruled the world...as did Rome...Venice...the Dutch...each was replaced in due course. Are we next? |

Quoted: Geez, Nasdaq at 6 year lows. Yields on both five- and 10-year notes have hit levels not seen since the summer of 1958... rates on the two- and 30-year notes were the lowest recorded since they were [b]first introduced in the 1970s.[/b] Dow @ 7800, Nasdaq flirting with going below 1000... A second Gulf War looming... Man, oh man. I know there is no pre-ordained right of business that says the US economy is invincible, but for crying out loud, how much more can this economy take before a complete meltdown? Most techs are down 90%!!! from theer historic highs, and there are no profits to be seen by most former high flyers. Even Wal-mart is reporting a slowdown and they are the place people go to shop when finances are tight! Yikes! Nervous. TheRedGoat PS. Enrollment is up at the community college for the moment, but I wonder what a full blown depression will do to enrollment... Recession proof, does not equal Depression proof. YEP !! Most everything you say is true. And that's why I'm thinking the time to buy is getting near. I've already picked my favorite telecom stock to purchase. This particular puppy is selling at less than 1% of the 12 months high. |

We are in the last days. China will be the next military super power, but Europe will drive the worlds economy. |

Ok, let me clear this up from my perspective, the Bible is not what I am asking about. I do not believe we are in the 'End days.' I am however curious about what is next for the world/US economy.
The last time the Market melted like this, we saw the GReat Depression. There have been otehr worldwide depression throughout history, are we on the verge of the next? Can/will it be avoided? Or will there be a new economic center in the world? China? Give me a break, if the US quits buying their consumer goods (seen Wal-Mart's latest numbers/projections?) then China's economy tanks. Japan? no. India? not hardly? EU? maybe, but where are they going to peddle their wares if the US is not buying? |

If you mean the worthless ".com's" as your tech's down 90% you're right, they were a bubble and only the stupid put a dime into them. Dutch tulips...
... if you mean the AMD, Intel, and Microsoft's as your tech stocks you're off by just a wee bit. Investing in these guys makes more sense than a company with a name and a wide idea. The end is not near but the specualtion bubble did burst. Real estate loan rates are at all time low and home ownership is at record levels. Unemployment is up a tad but is approaching half of what Europe and Australia have constantly. I haven't seen soup kitchens opening in my neighborhood yet! |

First, I have always thought that particular AK is one of the nicest I have seen. I have a crush on it. Second, I felt terrible when I realized that my clip knife scratched it, I had hoped is was just metal transferred from the chrome handle to your metal surface, but I worried that it was a true scratch through the surface material. Third, sell me the AK, then go buy a new one that looks just like it. I have been planning to buy an AK for over a year, but I have no idea what to look for, especially when the AK that I want is owned by a friend. I have AK envy. Fourth, sell me the AK because I TOLD YOU TO! Guilt is a terrible thing to waste. |

Uh guys, dont buy telecom stocks. They're all swimming in debt from the huge capital investment boom, but the revenues just aren't there to have made those investments worthwhile.
The stocks are at 52 week lows for a reason! Yeah, the siutation is pretty damn grim. Just 2 or 3 years ago the economy was fantastic, and now it's in the shitter for god knows how long. But looking at Japan, you begin to get an idea. |

Most always there are good companies within sectors that did just fine and will again. Sectors are good if you're trying to time the market - something I'm not nearly smart enough to do !! |

Sectors are good if you're trying to time the market - something I'm not nearly smart enough to do !! The telecom sector is profoundly troubled, if you can find a promising company there, then you're way smarter than me! Best of luck! I'll make a few blanket statements about sectors to avoid at all costs: Airlines telecoms utilities/energy banking, consumer finance homebuilders PC/semis telecom equipment software I mean, I wouldn't be buying ANYTHING in this market except perhaps gold mining stocks. |
