Quote of the week: “He who winks the eye causes trouble…” Proverbs 10:10
Eleven thoughts on the past week:
1) Six people thought last week’s piece was a tad too political. Though they are but six out of 300,000, they seemed so angry, even forlorn, that I thought I’d just stick with the economy this week. |

You know it's volatile out there, but who is doing all that trading?

Well, that's bull… and I sure don't mean bull market. |

It's everywhere. Gloom. Giving up. Getting out. Selling into any rally.
The advocates of buying low have gone into hiding. One investment website announces, “The rally won't hold.” Another warns not to be fooled by the rally on Monday. Still another says stocks are in a swoon, and a famous money manager warns not to start buying too soon. A big blog tells thousands to sell into the rally. |

Over the weekend the financial heavyweights of the G7 got together to try and unclog the worlds' financial pipeline. Each country promised to do their part to open up lending and spur economic growth that is desperately needed to pull us out of the downturn. The U.S. decided that it would invest directly into banks to the tune of $250 billion to try to open up the credit markets. |

"Why does every stock I buy go down?" Every investor feels this way at some point. The market seems to have a way of knowing exactly when to dump. Right after you put your money in it. |

Over the last few weeks, the majority of the feedback emails I received were about the bailout. I expressed that I felt the bailout was necessary in order for the credit markets to be freed up and for the economy to start working properly again. The majority of respondents didn’t agree with my take (approximately 75 percent disagreed with me). |

The US and the global economy remain in dire straits. This, in spite of ongoing Herculean efforts by the same authorities that caused the problems in the first place. Let’s get a leg up on an autopsy report. |

Gold dropped from $915 to $859 on Friday. That’s not supposed to happen while the market is crashing. What’s going on?
It’s not that gold has lost its luster. But institutional investors were forced to sell gold on Friday to meet margin calls. |

As the market crumbles, shares aren’t the only things getting cheap. So are words. And the cheapest, most glib words are these: “We’re almost at a bottom.”
What the heck does that mean? The Dow fell over 1,504 points last week. That tells me we’re 1,504 points closer to a bottom than a week ago. That I get. |
