Why the Economy Will Remain Weak
6/25/09 5:30 PM

The term "green shoots" appears destined to go down in history with other unfortunate themes such as "a goldilocks economy"; "it doesn't matter if internet companies have no earnings"; "high P/E ratios don't matter"; "subprime loans aren't important"; "foreign economies have decoupled from the U.S."; "there's plenty of liquidity"; and the classic "home prices never go down".[More]

The bearish view on earnings makes the most sense.

IF YOU WATCH OR READ OR LISTEN TO BUSINESS NEWS, you must be getting very confused about whether the stock market is undervalued or overvalued.[More]

By Gregg Greenberg-TheStreet.com Staff Reporter
2/18/05

Short-selling funds are ready to come out of hibernation.

The list of negative factors impacting the stock market has now become so numerous that it is highly likely that a severe bear market has already started

Introduction

The list of negative factors affecting the stock market has now become so numerous that it is highly likely that a severe bear market has already started. We begin with the fact that, as measured by earnings and dividends, this is by far the most overvalued market of the past century.[More]

  What Others Say
2/13/09
Dear Friends, I have been religiously following your website and information since I retired in 2005. Thank God that you guys were here and I was able to protect my savings in 401k. Based on your web site postings which I have been checking just about everyday, I have been in safe govt treasuries through Vanguard since 2005 and have had moderate growth but most of all no losses in capital. You guys just made so much sense to me and I just wanted to thank you for running the web site.[More]

Thank you for your thought provoking article entitled "Putting it All Together." Couldn't have said it better. Like you, I have been shouting out warnings for a number of years. Want to comment on one of your points with which I agree wholeheartedly: that there has yet to be true capitulation. No better proof of that than the fact that perhaps 90%+ of workers with 401k and profit sharing plans have yet to sell out of their positions.[More]
 
Your Piece Today on Postwar Market Bottoms
12/04/08
To me, the question is whether there will BE a cyclical market bottom this time.A case can be made for stagnation,with a deflationary bias.lasting many years,along the lines of Japan's experience.The enormous interference in the working of the marketplace by Washington ,to me, raises the odds on such a dismal outcome.Don't think I'll be betting my money on a typical cyclical market recovery for years.What do you think?? In any case, isn't it nice to have been right in the end??!!CHEERS BER
 
Not Insane After All!
10/31/08
Hi once again (I've been reading your comments for years now and have mailed you a few times) from Ireland. I'm not an investor just someone who studied economics (and then lectured it briefly) so have a real interest in the subject and I must congratulate you on your analysis over the years. In all my reading on the net you'd be in the minority who saw this coming from what I could tell (Stephen Roach at Morgan Stanley, Shiller, Faber, writers at Prudentbear.com, and some Austrian economists to name the ones I came across). I never doubted what you said excluding one period and I mailed you about China and India being able to sustain the boom for like you I was confused as to why it just kept going.[More]
 
Right On The Money
10/09/08
Wow! the recent writings have been right on the money. Apparently, the economic guru's of the day have abandoned their posts as defenders of capitalist ideaology and rhetoric for socialistic bandaids (presumably taking a page from the former soviet union since spastic intervention has worked so well over there). Perhaps at first site of the next big dow plunge, they will close the markets for a couple of days and hope things are better when they decide to reopen.[More]
