SELL INTO STRENGTH /TAKE
PROFITS/ SELL DOLLAR DENOMINATED SECURITIES
(8-18-08) DOW -180.51 NASDAQ - 35.54 S&P - 19.60 [Still great opportunity to sell/take profits since all problems remain and dollar mini-spike short-lived. That hub of global manufacturing buzzing (riiiiight!) as empire state index as measured by private economists expected to fall -4.2% but is reported up +2.8% (almost 300% better-I don’t think so, and don’t buy the Brooklyn bridge, watches, swamp land in jersey, etc.), inflation news double expectations Bracing for Inflation August 15, 2008 (BusinessWeek Growing evidence suggests American consumers, businesspeople, and political leaders should all be bracing for double-digit inflation, probably as early as 2009), real estate falling, U.S. Foreclosures Rise 55%, Bank Seizures Reach High , unemployment at recession levels, etc., all news bad though fudged to upside for election year. Note the rotation into the obscure world of so-called tech which provides, as in prior such ploys (ie., dot-com bust, more recent bust, etc.) the world street frauds with the ability to sell the sizzle since investors and americans generally don’t understand it (ie., iphones are a joke where the so-called “computer” is merely a restrictor of usual computer functions now tied into apple products and government shill co att, and anyone who pays the premium for apple products is a fool), and all news bad albeit fudged to the upside in this election year. Fake trade figures, more writedowns/bad debt, still great opportunity to sell/take profits. Just another frothy day in the rabidly fraudulent lunatic world of wall street and great opportunity to sell/take profits since all problems remain and dollar mini-spike short-lived. Fog of war ( U.S. Attacks Russia Through Client State Georgia – don’t believe american lies/propaganda to the contrary) is frauds friend, repeat three times to understand fraudulent wall street euphoria over diversion (Georgia conflict) from their massive fraud which brought much greater than expected losses at fannie (U.S. Headed Toward Bankruptcy, Says Top Budget Committee Republican ) and triple-digit decline to triple digit upswing so especially great opportunity to sell/take profits as glass-half-full kind of frauds point to increase in (foreclosure/auction/forced) home sales (riiiiight!) while they can no longer hide substantially increased unemployment, etc., economy so bad oil demand declining which is shill point for next stage of (new) wall street fraud/commissioned churn and earn scam which the taxpayers just underwrote/paid for with complicit government, executive/legislative/judicial branches/fed. Great opportunity to sell/take profits since all problems remain as real numbers indicate previous decline in GDP though falsely reported as gain, greater unemployment (watch for fake numbers from government) and much more downside to come as stocks previously rallied on sharp increase in oil prices and ADP, A JERSEY BASED COMPANY NOT UNFAMILIAR TO THE FRAUD/CRIME OF PLACING FAKE/NON-EXISTENT EMPLOYEES ON PAYROLLS TO FACILITATE (ILLEGAL/DRUG) MONEY LAUNDERING PLAYING BALL (I’M SURE FOR A PRICE/FAVOR) WITH THE FRAUDS ON WALL STREET/ADMIN. WITH ALLEGED, UNEXPECTED INCREASE IN PRIVATE SECTOR JOBS, and short-covering. The Dow Priced in Ounces of Gold: Secular Bear Market Since '99 by Lindstrom from Seeking Alpha AP Business Highlights A private research group says that Americans remain the most pessimistic about the economy since the tail end of the last prolonged recession 16 years ago. But economists warn that the slight uptick, which reverses a six-month slide since January, is likely to be only temporary and doesn't signal the beginning of a rally…Yahoo… the survey only has weak correlation with actual spending, so Briefing.com does not put too much stock in the report.] Quantifying Inflation by Zigler from Seeking Alpha, Housing report bruises frauds on wall street with reality but false report from corrupt, scandal-scarred, criminal commerce department (contrary to all expectations and contrary to all regional fed manufacturing indices which declined) provides fake report and fraudulent lift . Great Opportunity to Sell/Take Profits as Reality trumps bull s**t! Sell dollar denominated assets as all problems remain. El-Erian: Buy more foreign stocksEven in this century's darkest days of recession and war, U.S. households kept on spending. But one of the smartest investors on the planet says the American consumer is finally out of steam. Even if, and it is not, oil were the only problem, the same is just a disruption away from a spike. Suckers’ bear market/short-covering rally based on bull s**t alone, this time by wall street shill paulson whose bailout rhetoric brings ‘irrational exuberance’ since wall street frauds should be prosecuted, required to disgorge ill-gotten gains, and jailed since they’re the ones who benefited and are escaping accountability by the bailout. Except for multi-nationals and corporate welfare recipients (ie., Lockheed, etc.), greater than expected losses in not millions but billions rallied the stocks. Remember, these are huge financial institutions unlike the tiny S&Ls of the last banking fraud/wealth transfer (to frauds at expense of taxpayers). Leading indicators revised down (after ‘election year keep the incumbents’ fake report). What do you expect the wall street frauds/criminals who should be held accountable and the failed (and illegal- constitution would have to be amended to enable Fed to print those worthless Weimar dollars with now even failed Fannie and Freddie getting some with taxpayer bailout) Fed to say; admit they royally f**ked up, etc., better than expected very bad news, ie., Citibank loses only $2.5 billion, hyperinflation, over 200% more (suuuuure!) than expected oil inventories, GM cuts dividend, Intel monopoly eliminates AMD, economy so bad less oil use/demand, riiiiight! What total bull s**t! SELL INTO STRENGTH, TAKE PROFITS WHILE YOU CAN!] Similarities between 1929 and 2008 terrifying [In just the month of June, the Dow dropped 10.19%; the S&P fell 8.60%, and the Nasdaq lost 9.10%. For the quarter, the Dow fell 7.44%; the S&P lost 3.23%, while the Nasdaq had an anemic 0.61% gain. For the first half, the Dow is down 14.44%; the S&P lost 12.83%; and the Nasdaq has fallen 13.55%.

The Next Crisis: 'Credit Default Swaps'-- Subprime is a Just a 'Vorspeise' U.S. faces global funding crisis, warns Merrill Lynch More doom for global economy Visualizing Dow 6,000 ] YAHOO… News flow was relatively light Monday, but participants still found an excuse to take money off the table. Their selling efforts pushed the major indices substantially lower; each finished a bit above their session lows. The early morning mood had been generally upbeat, but as oil prices reversed declines, stocks were sent lower. Stocks then stayed there for the rest of the session as focus returned to the troubles of government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae (FNM 6.15, -1.76) and Freddie Mac (FRE 4.39, -1.46), even though crude settled lower below the $113 per barrel mark. The two were spotlighted in a weekend Barron's article that suggests the Treasury may need to recapitalize the duo sooner rather than later. Trading volume climbed in the two, but the increase was not reflected in the broader market. The lack of volume in the broader market suggests there is no real fear in the market for this matter. Instead, it provided an excuse for participants to take profits. Despite the session's decline the stock market is still up 6.5% and the financial sector is up 22% since the July 15 low. The financial sector finished the session 3.6% lower. Other news stories were given secondary status. In the tech sector (-1.3%), video game maker Electronic Arts (ERTS 47.76, -0.48) is letting its offer for Take-Two Interactive (TTWO 23.75, -1.09) expire tonight. However, Electronic Arts will join in Take-Two's review of strategic alternatives. Home improvement retailer Lowe's (LOW 24.54, +0.04) posted better-than-expected earnings per share results for its latest quarter, but issued a mixed outlook. Meanwhile, mining outfit BHP Billiton (BHP 65.48, +0.26) posted its sixth record full-year profit and offered an upbeat outlook, according to an article in this morning's edition of The Wall Street Journal. Still, without any clear leader and selling abounding, only one sector was able to finish the session with any sort of gain: the defensive-orientated utilities sector (+0.1%). Utilities hit a 52-week low earlier this month and are up little more than 2% since.

America no longer dominates even its

·
In the most recent rankings, only two of the world's ten richest
people are American. These lists are arbitrary and a bit silly, but consider
that only ten years ago, the United States would have serenely topped almost
every one of these categories.These factoids reflect a seismic shift in power
and attitudes. It is one that I sense when I travel around the world.....
LEE IACOCCA SPEAKS OUT ABOUT AMERICA Kipper Mathews These words by Lee Iacocca are
excerpts from his new book and have been circulating the net lately. I couldn’t
help but spread the word as his opinions are my feelings as well.
I am not taking any
responsibility for their accuracy, I’m just passing on the information
received.
Lee Iacocca Says:
‘Am I the only guy in
this country who’s fed up with what’s happening? Where the hell is our outrage?
We should be screaming
bloody murder. We’ve got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state
right over a cliff, we’ve got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we
can’t even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car.
But instead of getting
mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, ‘Stay
the course’. Stay the course? You’ve got to be kidding. This is America , not
the damned ‘Titanic’. I’ll give you a sound bite: ‘Throw all the bums out!’
You might think I’m
getting senile, that I’ve gone off my rocker, and maybe I have. But someone has
to speak up. I hardly recognize this country anymore.
The most famous
business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs. While we’re
fiddling in Iraq , the Middle East is burning and nobody seems to know what to
do. And the press is waving ‘pom-poms’ instead of asking hard questions. That’s
not the promise of the ‘America’ my parents and yours traveled across the ocean
for. I’ve had enough. How about you?
I’ll go a step further.
You can’t call yourself a patriot if you’re not outraged. This is a fight I’m
ready and willing to have.
The Biggest ‘C’ is
Crisis ! ( see the ten C’s in his book )
Leaders are made, not
born. Leadership is forged in times of crisis. It’s easy to sit there with your
feet up on the desk and talk theory. Or send someone else’s kids off to war
when you’ve never seen a battlefield yourself. It’s another thing to lead when
your world comes tumbling down.On September 11, 2001, we needed a strong leader
more than any other time in our history. We needed a steady hand to guide us
out of the ashes. A HELL OF A MESS, SO HERE’S WHERE WE
STAND. WE’RE IMMERSED IN A BLOODY WAR WITH NO PLAN FOR WINNING AND NO PLAN FOR
LEAVING. WE’RE RUNNING THE BIGGEST DEFICIT IN THE HISTORY OF THE COUNTRY. WE’RE
LOSING THE MANUFACTURING EDGE TO ASIA, WHILE OUR ONCE-GREAT COMPANIES ARE
GETTING SLAUGHTERED BY HEALTH CARE COSTS. GAS PRICES ARE SKYROCKETING, AND
NOBODY IN POWER HAS A COHERENT ENERGY POLICY. OUR SCHOOLS ARE IN TROUBLE. OUR
BORDERS ARE LIKE SIEVES. THE MIDDLE CLASS IS BEING SQUEEZED EVERY WHICH WAY.
THESE ARE TIMES THAT CRY OUT FOR LEADERSHIP…..
AMERICANS BECOMING MORE CROOKED By LARA JAKES JORDAN,
Associated Press Writer Thu Apr 17, 7:39 PM ET WASHINGTON - The FBI is grappling
with growing numbers of public corruption cases
and a surge in mortgage fraud investigations, FBI
Director Robert Mueller said Thursday, wondering
aloud whether Americans are "becoming more crooked." In a speech to
the American Bar Association, Mueller asked the assembled defense lawyers for
help in "creating a culture of integrity" by reporting evidence of
wrongdoing by politicians and corporate executives alike." Anyone who
follows the news these days and sees repeated references to corporate fraud and
public corruption might think the nation is in the midst of a moral
crisis," Mueller told the defense attorneys. "Have we as a society
become more corrupt? [The answer is YES] Or have we in the FBI simply become
more adept at rooting out fraud and corruption? [While high regard for the FBI
is warranted, the fact is that they are so infinitesimally small a portion of
the U.S. population that relative thereto, they are but a genetic aberration
(in the most positive sense) when juxtaposed to the inherently criminal
american populace at all levels of american society]."…..
SUCH ARE ALSO THE PONDERINGS, MUSINGS EXTANT AT THIS STAGE OF
DECLINE/FALL OF ANY SOCIETY/NATION IN AGES PAST; IE., ROME, ETC..

misuse/fraudulently use their congressional credit cards even as the
nation/citizens are drowning in congressionally/executively accumulated debt.
Stephen
Barr - OMB Gets Tough on Misuse of Government Credit Cards ...By Stephen Barr Thursday, April 10, 2008; Page D04
A crackdown on the misuse of
government credit cards is underway.
The Office
of Management and Budget said yesterday that it would welcome Congress's
help in disciplining federal employees who misuse their cards, pointing to a
Senate bill that would authorize agencies to fire employees for egregious abuse
of government credit cards. Employees suspected of fraud would have their cases
referred to federal prosecutors. ….. An investigative report released by
senators Tuesday showed that government employees used their credit cards in
2005 and 2006 to buy cameras, laptop computers, iPods,
high-end suits, lingerie, and steak and booze dinners. The inquiry by the Government
Accountability Office was not the first to discover abuse in federal credit
card and travel programs. Previous reports by the GAO and inspectors general
have documented federal employees using their government cards to buy baseball
tickets, jewelry, cellphones, escort services and, in one instance, breast
enhancement surgery for a girlfriend. "Here We Go Again," was the
headline yesterday on a news release from the Project on Government Oversight,
a nonprofit group that investigates corruption in government. It noted that the
group uncovered similar problems in 2002.

American arrested as
nuclear spy for Israel By Randall Mikkelsen (Reuters)
U.S. authorities arrested an 84-year-old American on Tuesday suspected of
giving Israel secrets on nuclear weapons, fighter jets and missiles in the 1980s in a
case with links to imprisoned spy Jonathan Pollard. Ben-Ami Kadish acknowledged
his spying in FBI interviews and said he acted out of a belief he was helping
Israel, according to court documents. Kadish was accused of reporting to an
Israeli government handler who was also a main contact for Pollard, an American
citizen serving a life term on a 1985 charge of spying for Israel…..

Wake Up America, You’re Sinking
By David Roskoph from
Seeking Alpha
America is in decline.
Our standard of living is descending to reconnect with our means and more
resemble Western Europe’s. We’ve been living on a borrowed standard of
living ever since we started replacing organic growth with financial
engineering, some 40 years ago.
Although they’re becoming
ubiquitous, step back and notice the warning signs of a nation losing its way;
- unchecked illegal immigration;
- fiat sponsored growth,
- an impossibly unfounded social net driven mostly
by a failed health care system, and
- a financial market being reduced to little more than a
battleground for hedge fund titans. …….
