Amazing - Bewildering - Unprecedented - Criminal

Posted on September 17, 2008 at 19:27 in Fundamental Analysis, News: Scheduled and Breaking, Relevant Ramblings by Jerry Furst
Charts and Videos will return as soon as I can get Wordpress to work properly - besides - I’m busy trading!  But here’s some thoughts briefly!

Headlines and Events - Getting Out Of Hand

I can barely remember Freddie and Fannie Mac - Was there a Hurricane last week? Did I hear something about an embassy being bombed?

The Market Carnage Continues…

It amazes me that even last week I heard some market analysts and pundits say that we were not in a recession! Long time readers of my blog know  that I called the portential for the worst time since the “Great Depression”  My Headline for Jan 22 was “Recession in Play - Depression on the Way?”

on January 24th I refrenced the Great Depression again

Gold was basically flat on Monday and I was pondering why - I called it Sunday Night - I hope some of you had come to the same conclusions.  I really find no joy in being right about things being so wrong - but the Rose Colored Windows are being shattered.

The Blame Game

Boiled Down It IS This: Regulatory oversight was and is missing. It looks like Political Cronies and underskilled Government Workers in the trenches over their head allowed the train to run off the tracks - this is beyond criminal as people are losing their jobs and life savings - around the globe!

One Response to “Amazing - Bewildering - Unprecedented - Criminal”

    Hey Jerry. Love your blog.

    I’m with you regarding how this has been coming for a while. I was suggesting we were topping last August. Whenever there is a big correction like there was last August, it is always followed by a second even bigger one.

    The question will become, Is this the end or just the middle right now?

    Cheers
    Pierre
