In today's news: Is the economy dead ? “Okay, this is a shocker,” said Douglas Porter, deputy chief economist at BMO Capital Markets. “We’re not talking about a shot across the bow of the optimists, this is more like a torpedo through the hull. Imported wine at seven bucks a bottle. Incredibly cheap food, jeans and household staples. Real estate prices 40% below levels of more than a decade ago. Structural unemployment and families that save a fifth of their gross income. [more...]

Need a Loan Modification? Here are Six Ways You Might Qualify

by Joshua W. Davidson Let’s face the facts, the San Diego area mortgage market and home market has had some wild declines over the past eighteen months to a few years, depending on the location. Along with other adjustment to borrowing rules, it is almost absurd for nearly all fighting to survive real estate owners to refinance their home loans into realistic specifications. Fortunately, worried homeowners still have a chance at getting their loan changed by their existing lender. [more...]

How We Saved $10,000 in a Year Giving Up Nothing We Knew About

Times are tough.  People are losing their homes at record pace, sinking further and further into debt.  Auto repossessors are making a killing as car loans drop like flies.  But the truth is that things aren’t nearly as bad as we seem to think.  We perceive it as such because we are, in short, an utterly wasteful and gluttonous society.  Even those who constitute the low income households waste more money in a month than many people in the world will see in a year.  I know, I know.  This is the [more...]

The Road to Zimbabwe

By Terry Coxon, Editor, The Casey Report GoldSeek.com Sprinkled among all the official talk about efforts to end the current recession, you’ll hear assurances, notably from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, that when the economy does revive, it won’t be allowed to blast off into runaway inflation. The Fed, we’re being promised, will prevent such a launch by reabsorbing the hundreds of billions of dollars of excess liquidity it recently created to halt the credit crisis. [more...]

Wasting away

Not a day goes by here without new arguments why interest rates won’t rise. They go like this: The weather’s been good since last winter ended. People are enjoying it. They play and prosper in the sun. If the snows come it will be bad. We are not ready. We will suffer. Therefore the government will not allow it to be so. Other variations, too. Like pointing to Japan where rates have stayed low for two decades. Or claiming central banks will print money, buy all the bonds, and keep rates low. [more...]

How to Hedge Against Inflation With a Home Equity Loan

Home equity loans were a large part of the consumer credit expansion that fueled the economy for more than a decade. The housing market bubble drove up housing asset prices, but without refinancing a homeowner couldn’t spend their new found fortune unless they got a home equity line of credit. If you are unaware of the coming wave of inflation that will threaten to unravel the global financial systems, all I can say is wise up or read some of my previous articles .  If you are aware of [more...]

Bailed Banks

The Bush-Obama strategy of throwing trillions at the banks to solve the mortgage crisis has been a failure. The banks welcome public money to remove toxic assets from their books, insured by we-the-taxpayers, as well as the hundreds of billions in direct handouts, but they’ve hardly returned the favor. They’ve used these funds to pay mega salaries and prop up stock values, choices that obviously benefit them. They needed public support, no one wanted the system to collapse. [more...]

More Rough Times Ahead for U.S. Economy, despite Recent Improvements

RISMEDIA, September 29, 2009—Despite recent signs of improvement, more rough times are ahead for the U.S. economy, according to several prominent experts in real estate and the economy who attended a recent forum at the Nixon Presidential Library.  “You look at the numbers and everything points to the fact that we not only have bottomed, but things seem to be improving,” said Christopher Thornberg of Beacon Economics, citing increases in durable goods orders, exports and auto sales.

The decline and fall of the evils of socialism

NY Times: A specter is haunting Europe — the specter of Socialism’s slow collapse. Even in the midst of one of the greatest challenges to capitalism in 75 years, involving a breakdown of the financial system due to “irrational exuberance,” greed and the weakness of regulatory systems, European Socialist parties and their left-wing cousins have not found a compelling response, let alone taken advantage of the right’s failures.

Underlying Demand During a Housing Shortage

There is an impressive amount of garbage in today's headlines to sift through. Most of it, of course, is rubbish.
