Homebuilder Perceptions Better but Conditions Really Worse

Fed Officials Confused, Contradictory- We Are Doomed
John Hilsenrath at the Wall Street Journal does a nice job of reviewing and summarizing the dueling speeches of 3 Fed officials today. Not only are they in disagreement about what the Fed should do next, they don’t even seem to be able to agree on what exactly the economy is doing. What else...

Stonewall Scores Again- Professional Edition
Watching Secretary Tim “Stonewall” Geithner shuck, jive, and obfuscate before the Congressional Oversight Panel was sickening and disgusting to anyone who has a clue of what’s going on, but old “TurboTax made me do it” obviously impressed investors, who in the main continue to be clueless. Geithner even smirked that he had never worked...

Obie Drinks the Kool Aid, What Would Shakespeare Say?
I like Obie, but he has drunk the Kool Aid. We are doomed. He’s listening to the advice of those very same world renowned egonomists who never saw the current mess coming. How could those who never saw it coming in the first place, and didn’t recognize it after it had already begun have...

SPX and RUT Update: Market Has Reached the Topping Target Zone
I was watching CNBC last night, and it seemed like every other guest was predicting Dow 36,000 for 2012. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but don't bull markets start when everyone is bearish? In March of '09, AAII sentiment was over 70% bears...
