How to fix America and the world

How to fix America and the world ~ before the end of the world...

http://trend-signals.blogspot.com/2009/11/who-is-paying-taxes.html


1. Take profit and pay tax based on emergency tax increase for high-income category -- e.g. 90% tax on goldman profit.

2. Reestablish strong regulations including reacting the Glass-Steagall in US as an example,

3. Recoup all high paid bonuses as they don't deserve it as the profit is gained by swindling the rest. It does not take much intellect to conspire and to wolf millions using massive collusion,

4. Back to the basics of developing basic needs and better educational system,

5. Promote "freedom of choice" of faith - Christianity, Muslim, Catholic, etc., and promote massive broadcast the freedom using global media educating the common of different faith. No faith is also a part of global education, however, enact a global bill on No-attack on any faith.

When we eliminate greedy bastardid agenda, promoting world security and peace is quite easy.
* After reviewing the details of the news, the tuition hike is necessary and a good decision. Most of countries in Asia, for example, have high tuition cost without state funds and also high competition to enter good universities like 20:1 ratio. The tuition hike is painful, but considering the CA state going bankrupt, it should have done years ago. Also, the higher tuition cost could prompt students to be serious about education.

* Our educational system has to be shaken up, actually. For example, cannabis was offered to me at schools, but I have never taken it. For example, a roomful of students smoking pots -- and even though I was there, I never took it.

Many of us are taking our system including educational system for granted, so feeling pain would be a catalyst to shake up and to get serious.

* What is going on around the world?

* Congressional members with over million
* Colluded money has swindled Americans and the nation.

The problem which we are facing is not "size" of banks, for example, but THE REAL PROBLEM is GREED. When we control "greed", we will be heading to right path which will promote integrity, security, world peace, and other benefits of being fair and just.

Buffett noted "Greed will always exist" during the interview at Columbia University -- and as I noted before, he is a part of the world problem associated with Greed as we can see it in the world history. We need to control greed to fix long term problems around the world. To control "greed", we must see "effect regulation" as greed is a root of all evil, corruption, immorality, and all ill-wills around the world.


Financial Market Fooling Americans and all around the globe.


The financial markets have further indebted the United States while literally defrauding billions as we have seen the profit of Goldman, Buffett, all big funds showing that financial markets are used nothing but to swindle massive Americans as historical data is showing in various timeframe analysis - very long term, long term, short term. Short term market hype can mislead many sheeples, however, focusing on long term data can provide better understanding and reality. The colluded money profit is always coming out of massive sheeples who are listening to media hype leading to financial and spiritual disaster.

2012 Economic melt down, not natural disaster?

We now see that some are predicting 2012 Economic melt down instead of 2012 natural disaster meltdown.

We could see Asian market melt down, sooner than 10 years that I predicted as we are going through faster global economic cycles triggered by financial market - monetary policy manipulation.

The US Economy is based on massive debt spending after millions of Americans spending their life saving, home equities, and going through financial disaster. The long term down-side economic cycle has delayed since 1990s with various economic and financial stimuli, therefore, the impact of the long term downside cycle is harder and longer.

Credit market reality: http://trend-signals.blogspot.com/2009/11/fed-mammon-is-using-asian-economy-as.html

I commented the following for months.: Predictable ~

It is reasonable and predictable that China will be on the list of the world's bankrupted countries along with major European countries and the United States within 20 years, if not in 10 years.

I commented on targeting and enslaving Asians using monetary policies. We now have more evidences that it is quite probable as China is reporting that Beijing has loaned $1.27 trillion in new loans in the first nine months of 2009. The pattern is quite similar how mammon is enslaving the world as converting nations with materialistic brainwash, then, wipe all out using monetary policies, economy, and market manipulation as we have seen in the United States and Europe.

This is an articulate article.

re >> US Economy Facing 'Death

re >> US Economy Facing 'Death by a Thousand Cuts': Roubini <<~~ as we can see the 912 Unite march, Americans are now starting to understand how the nation is robbed using financial markets and Treasury, slowly discerning market hype and commercial brain wash.

Trillions of funds are in the markets and waiting for Americans to spend and to spend until all going bankrupt; however, it is not so.

Double recession or triple dip recession is a good thing in a long run until Americans are waken up from spending-death spiral. The 912 is just a beginning for Americans' real hope for future. ~~//


Published: Monday, 14 Sep 2009 | 8:50 AM ET

Repeating his prediction that the economy faces a threat of a "double-dip" recession and at best a slow-growth U-shaped recovery, Roubini said in a live interview that more banks will fail and residential real estate prices have more room to decline.

REALITY ~ Credit Crisis Visualized

R.E. bubble/bust can't be fixed in a couple of years or pumping up financial markets. The world economy was bubbled up for decades and the big American consumers over spent for decades. The problems which we are facing can't be fixed in a couple of years or with liquidity pump.

American spending habit supported the world financial growth during the last decades, but now, the many American consumers are facing the detrimental exhaustion of their wealth turned into massive debt.

Spending trillions of debt money into system without genuine production and job growth, it is just suger-coated medication which will not cure the economic crisis which we are facing. It is not surprising that we are facing economic crisis, but in fact, the crisis was expected. What else can you expect after consuming decades and overspending.

American hunger may bring genuine growth in the future?

Since the video made, G20 is pumping financial markets; however, the fundamental economic cycles have to go through. Just pumping up financial markets with more liquidity will only go so far.

Fickle Market Sentiment

Market sentiment is extremely fickle - from pessimism to optimism in a two week period.

With the recent market hype, markets rallied 25%; and, with the debt spending, some are continuing to hype more actually thinking that markets have made a bottom looking for another 25% with a breakout: fast pump and dump. To upside or to downside, market bandwagons who are bubbling up or crashing markets. Economy and markets need longer to wear off economic cycles, and so far, I haven't heard any genuine economic growth for US except debt spending and green energy development. Obama NWO plan is detrimental, just lowering Americans' living standard and putting US to venerable position. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=36852823 14899

Gullible Americans: 'Axis of upheaval' poses unseen threat


Gullible USA, Americans

Obsessed with financial crisis, U.S. ignores security risks at its own peril
By Paul B. Farrell, MarketWatch
Last update: 7:03 p.m. EDT April 6, 2009

ARROYO GRANDE, Calif. (MarketWatch) -- You're in denial. You know massive new taxes are coming. With trillions in stimulus and deficits, once again we're like addicts with stolen credit cards, on a rampage.

But soon reality will hit. External threats, unstable nations, terrorists and global warfare will demand action, reenergize our outrageous war economy and force a substantial increase in defense spending. See previous column.

Get it? The future of our economy, markets and banking system is no longer in our control. Our destiny is now inextricably tied to unknown, unpredictable external events and people, to the forces driving global politics and to fanatical enemies. In the near future, our domestic decisions may have a 10% influence on our destiny, but 90% will be in the hands of enemies fueled by hatred and the global economic meltdown. And it will get worse.

"Forget Iran, Iraq, and North Korea, Bush's Axis of Evil," says Niall Ferguson, a professor at Harvard and author of "The Ascent of Money: The Financial History of the World." Writing in the journal "Foreign Policy," Ferguson adds: "The bad news for Bush's successor, Barack Obama, is that he now faces a much larger and potentially more troubling axis -- an axis of upheaval." This axis has at least nine members, including China, Russia, Mexico, Afghanistan and Pakistan, he says

Investors Be Wary of Stocks

Investors can still lose a lot of money in the stock market, but US government bonds aren't the solution either for those seeking safe havens, Pimco's co-CEO and co-chief investment officer Mohammed El-Erian told CNBC.

"Certain bonds aren't worth owning, like government bonds for instance," El-Erian said, adding that gaping deficits will force governments issue more debt.

"I am very underweight equities," he said, adding that he has cut his exposure to stocks to 30 percent compared with around 60 percent in normal market conditions. Pimco is the world's biggest bond fund.

"Fundamentally we are in a volatile journey to what we call the new normal, the new destination. The world is changing," El-Erian said.

re 2 million jobs lost so far in '09


Unemployment rate spikes to 8.5%, a 25-year high, as 663,000 jobs lost in March. 5.1 million jobs have now been lost since the beginning of 2008.

The number is not surprising.

G20 DAY

The April Fool's Day G20 Show Decoy: It's tragedy that so many people are going through pain and suffering because of a few who manipulated financial markets, wars, and terrorism for power and money.

Because of lack of regulation the bubble during 1980-2000 went out of control and because of artificial economic stimulus with housing and energy bubble, we are now experiencing more economic and financial shock. While it is inevitable that we will go through economic up and down periods, it is shocking, actually sad, to witness social and financial injustice.

Who is to blame? It's greed in many different degrees and levels. At least, they have energy to protest. I am just disgusted with the manipulation which we have seen during the last 24 hours how market gyrated. G20 is just a big B.S. even though we will find out the true results in decades later, as we can reflect how our history tells us what has happened in the past. It is just a big drama for power and money. They are barking at wrong true with nuclear discussion while terrorists are always lurking to make trouble. It is obvious that G20 and OB is a big decoy -- not dealing with the real issues.

I will not bother to form an opinion about what the hell FASB will do with Mark to Market accounting and how markets will react. The manipulation is disgusting.

We will ultimately pay for our deeds of evil and good in Eternity.

Market Volatility & G20 protest

Markets are showing volatility with intraday ranges of the following.

http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/03/scenes_from_the_recession.html


It is only 11:20 am est but we already have a wide range volatility. We had the Vietnam war protesters and Woodstock gatherings, but now we have Economic melt down protesters. Forcing the economic cycles will only heighten future economic shocks, however, the economic crisis which we are seeing could have been lessen the economic volatility. The 2002-2007 economic growth was based on the housing and energy market bubbles which were not sustainable. We now try to create economic growth with credit manipulation which is not effective in a long run. We must go through Economic cycles just same as we have 4-seasons which we must live with the changes. While many are facing higher degree of economic cycle effects, Americans are facing the reality effect of Globalism which is lessening American Standard of Living.

Scenes from the recession

The state of our global economy: foreclosures, evictions, bankruptcies, layoffs, abandoned projects, and the people and industries caught in the middle. It can be difficult to capture financial pressures in photographs, but here a few recent glimpses into some of the places and lives affected by what some are calling the "Great Recession". (edit: After reading some comments about this on Boing Boing, I was able to track down the location of the newspaper boxes in photo #30. The boxes belong to the San Francisco Chronicle, who I called and confirmed that the boxes had been removed per city rules, not due to recession. The photo came across the wire with the caption below, the contextual error was mine.) (35 photos total)





The economy is headed for a “very long and damaging economic downturn” that will not see any recovery in 2009, well-known economist Martin Feldstein said on Wednesday.

1Best Market Analysis and forecasts

Markets are finding no support breaking below supports SPX 750 +/- and DOW 7200 +/-. As commented earlier with the long term analysis projections and cycles, SPX 600 breakout retest will be a LT support during this bear market into 2012.

SPX 720 +/- is a ST support even though it appears to fail to retest the Nov2008 low of 752.44 as it traded to high 777.85 and low 742.37, closing at 743.33.

Intraday 60min showing +D for a couple of days.

Markets could follow 1973-1974 recession period; however, no two recession is alike.

Recessions: 1973-1974 40% +/-, 2000-2002 40% +/-, 2007-2009 46%+/-

We are now passed the 1973-1974 40% recession sell-off as markets are now sold off 50%. The current bear market is now 16.5 month old since Oct 2007.

DOW 6000 is a longer term support with the worst case 4000 support with a relative SPX support 400.

We can better remember the last three recessions, but the 1929 case is the worst of all -- which we could see it as the Bush admin effect.

Most of informed, average investors are already out of the markets since 2007. But of course, some are trapped, but the climactic sell-off was during Oct-Nov 2008. Market market action now is low-volume discounting manipulation.


SPX long term chart ~ traded to the target of 720 +/- retest of the Oct 2002 low and Mar 1997 -- 52% sell-off from Oct 2007.

Market Analysis and Forecasts as of 2/18/2009 close

Markets are trading at pivotal supports and with a cluster of pivotal turns.


Markets consolidated today as noted earlier that SPX traded to SPX 795 resistance and refuses to break above even though markets are showing positive divergences on all timeframes; because we are in bearish markets, market rallies are very weak.

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=35689846

60min intraday charts are showing positive divergences and oversold, and daily price actions are also showing +D; however, markets are trading at pivotal supports, DOW 7500.

Market sentiment is extremely bearish which is detrimental to our future financial and economical condition. As noted, a few big hedge funds are making billions and trillions since 2007 -- as I think that it is the decades long big plan that I noted earlier.

Markets could follow 1973-1974 recession period; however, no two recession is alike.

Recessions: 1973-1974 40% +/-, 2000-2002 40% +/-, 2007-2009 46%+/-

We can better remember the last three recessions, but the 1929 case is the worst of all. Hope that God will show His Mercy and Justices that we will not go through 1929 case.

As noted above, markets are oversold and show +D, but with HPQ AH actions, during the OE week, it will be just another depressing day. May God have Mercy and show His Justices.

1/27 INTERNATIONAL HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY.

Jobs & Traders: There are hundreds who started a paid website that I recognize those traders and do not recognize newbies during the recent years. Can you imagine 1000s and million starting to daytraders or to open up paid website. You would wonder if they can trade, why would they bother with maintaining websites and clerical works of customers even though compounding numbers can be very profitable as 30-300 monthly fees. It is a trader/website-bubble and the economic condition forces the bubble becoming bigger. It is astonishing numbers. No wonder markets are acting nuts. From my perspective, it is better to let the dust to settle.

Markets are consolidating for a week, and it is going into EOM while markets remained day-trading environment.

Tomorrow 1/27 is INTERNATIONAL HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY.

US Mortgage Foreclosures Up 81% in 2008

U.S. foreclosure activity jumped 81 percent in 2008, with one in every 54 households getting at least one filing notice, suggesting various state laws and private programs to slow the process have been ineffective, RealtyTrac reported on Thursday.

Nearly 3.2 million foreclosure filings on 2.3 million properties were made last year, the Irvine, California-based research firm said.

Filings include notice of default, auction sale or bank repossession.

Light Volume Markets

Light volume market manipulation~ disaster selling will come after trading up in light volumes days after days.

Major Markets are trading up in light volumes with bailout hype; however, we have enormous bad economic news - millions of job cuts.

Bubbling up markets with infrastructure economic plan causes "inflation" which many can not afford and which will cause more disaster in the future as markets will quickly sell off after hyped just similar as what we have seen during the last several months.

Technically, markets were trading above 60min 200ma during the last 3 days after trading near to 50ma daily ma resistances.

With light volume market manipulation going into next week, a break from S/R will induce vst market reaction; however, it is obvious that markets are manipulated without much volume participation as many are going through financial hardship. Coming into market at this time is just taking greater risk as markets can move quickly. Markets can quickly sell-off after light volume rallies going into or during January with excuses of bad earning reports.

Markets are showing unstable price actions and also have shown strong power to move markets very quickly, therefore, coming into markets with IT/LT investment idea in the current market and economic condition is taking very high risk as we have technically projected lower targets near to DOW 6000 and SPX 600 +/- based on the traditional price movement analysis, e.g. EW, and also our economic condition is supporting the lower projected targets.

Chasing vicious sharp bear market rallies at this point is not a prudent decision.

Bailout bubble disaster ~ Failure of US Auto Industry Could Batter Credit Markets

Bailout bubbles will ruin Americans after the hype wears out. Dire warnings of lost jobs and fading U.S. industrial might are driving the Detroit bailout bandwagon, but there's a little-noticed passenger quaking in the backseat—the credit markets.

A bankruptcy or failure of General Motors , Ford or Chrysler would threaten billions of dollars of financial instruments, with untold consequences, say credit market analysts and some pro-bailout lawmakers.

Tuesday, December 9, 2008

SPX

Bailout is making problems worse. It will cause inflation while many are out of jobs. Higher living cost for many and markets will melt after false rally based on the bailout fiasco -- creating more problems.


This bear market is NOT like any other previous bear markets. Infrastructure construction job will not help our economy much except hyping up financial markets with the gimmick economic plan which is not really helping our big economic trouble.

We had too much excess of everything for decades. This does not go away in a few years.

Remember, markets sucked out American wealth and Americans are all in debt. This didn't happen since Oct 2007 top. This happened over decades of overspending since 1969.

This bear market is not "business as usual" or "bear market as we have seen".

http://www.cnbc.com/id/24262175/

It is not new news as we already knew about this which is happening during the last decades, more so recently.
