  • It's Starting

    The End of the American Economy that is....Two extremely important and very under reported news stories this week that has the Writing on the Wall...

    1. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke who's term ends in early 2014 made the statement that the Fed has NO IDEA how to end QE "Quantitative Easing" to the Economy without causing the Stock Market soon to followed by the General Economy to Tank.....I'm certainly no Economist but one doesn't need to be to see what they are saying....QE is the nonstop printing of dollars which are basically worthless to buy Government Bonds in order to prop up the failing economy and keep interest rates at near zero so the country can afford the interest on it's WHOPPER of a Debt....

    Just the mere mention last summer that the Fed might ease back on this nonsense caused the DOW to plummet so they quickly reversed course and said just kidding, full steam ahead boys, keep those presses rolling 27/7....This is no different than spraying starting fluid into an old worn out engine to try and get it running....As long as you keep the spray going it will sputter along but if you stop spraying the engine dies....Same with the economy and we're about outa spray....

    2. Most alarming and almost unreported except by FOX News....The United States Debt has suddenly increased by almost a Trillion Dollars since the start of October 2013....(A Trillion Dollars is a stack of 100 dollar bills 62 MILES HIGH) Thats just a 6 week period folks........Remember the shutdown the Republicans were blamed for earlier in the Fall....What Congress finally settled on was to lift the Debt Limit and give Obama an unlimited credit card until this mess hits again in January 2014 except this time the Republicans won't fight it in order not to jeopardize the elections in November so they will let the Democrats spend us into oblivion.....It is reported that if Government spending remains at the current level the Country is on pace to increase the Debt to 22 TRILLION in just THREE MONTHS....This is unsustainable and will collapse the economy in very short order which may explain all that ammo that DHS has been stockpiling....We are in big trouble folks and I for one would like to see the Lame Street Media report on this crisis and not on Obama giving Medals of Freedom to Slick Willie and Oprah....Damn it, I just threw up in my mouth...

    1 is called a liquidity trap

    2 is called plain stupid. Every day exposes us to a bigger potential crash. And it seems we're way beyond the point of no return.

    Burp.


    But good explanation by the way

      Shhhh, not so loud. I'm making a killing in the market right now and I'm trying to hold off the rain.

        This is a bigger problem even that what it appears to be. And everyone is completely oblivious to it!

            The market is doing good now to lure us in....and I agree with getsome....the hammer is about to come down hard. I just said that to my wife last night. It really concerns me, but what can we do now? The gov't is in control and doing very poorly. No business nor home can operate this way, yet they think an entire country is immune to the same disaster.

                  Well I could tell you a tale about the DotCom Bust and how it affected retirement accounts, but I've only recently stopped crying. Never Ever believe a stock broker. Their only goal is to get you to buy stocks. When they go down it's a buying opportunity to them. When they go up they're only going to go higher.

                    The Stock Market should be thought of no differently than Las Vegas and any rational thinking person should only gambel with or invest in stocks the amount of money that they are willing and able to lose in a heartbeat without feeling any pain what so ever....

                    This morning the DOW opened at over 16,000 which is about 7000 points over where it really would be if the Fed stoped manipulating the real economy which is currently so lethargic that it can hardly get out of bed no matter what Obama's spin machine says and with a REAL unemployment rate of around 15% and with much of the population living near the poverty level and 1 pay check away from being homeless and we don't yet know the damage Obamacare is going to do long term to the economy....Do you REALLY think the market should be trading at record highs right now and if so have I got a deal for you!!!!

                    I still say Buying Gold and especially Silver is a much better long term investment plan than the Stock Market unless you can't resist a quick buck and dont mind seeing that buck go up in smoke at the drop of a hat...

                      I don't think the stock market is there for you and me to profit from, it's there for the American equivalent of the ChiComs to play with. It seems like the major players are the uber-wealthy socialists like Soros, Rockefeller, etc., etc. Like China, it's ok for them to make incredible profits while the peasants starve, as long as people think their Marxist policies are creating "social justice" and punishing the scapegoat du jour.

                        I'll agree that the Stock Market is no place for an amateur....What I see as the real problem is that when the Government gave control of the Countries Economy and Currency supply to the Federal Reserve aka Banksters then from that day forward we were doomed to fail....Where the Money is so goes the real Power and when the chairman of the Fed admitted they have no idea how to get the Country out of this mess other than to print more monopoly money it was a sure sign it's past time to be prepping and have a survival plan for your family.....:86:
