Stagflation: This Time It Is Different
2007-11-19 01:36:00 I just uttered two of the worst things any economist would ever want to see. And they are together, for good measure. “This time is different” is the first answer you hear when an economist with conservative economic views warns the public about something out of whack in the economy. It happened in 1929 and it happened again in 2000. When the voices of reason warned that the bubbles may burst, those who “got it”, who understood the new economy, answered like a Greek chorus: “This time it is different“. I still remember conversations with friends during the summer of 2005 when I started to get worried about the housing bubble in South Florida, all of them disregarded my worries with unruffled arguments that sustained the dreaded conclusion. So it is not lightly that I dare utter these words. thebankruptcynewsdotcom For those who do not know what stagflation is or why you should care, there is only a simple explanation: imagine that you are out of...

Dow Jones Finds A Convoluted Way to Do Nothing
2007-11-15 22:55:00 Last Friday I wrote that the Dow Jones at 13,099 should see a rest. I pointed out that some statistical barriers had been broken, and that the fall should stop around there. I was wrong by 0.6%, but not much more. And then, on Tuesday, we had this huge run rally of some 300 points. ... More About: Economics , Finance , Iraq War , War
Dow Jones Finds A Convoluted Way to Do Nothing
2007-11-15 22:55:00 Last Friday I wrote that the Dow Jones at 13,099 should see a rest. I pointed out that some statistical barriers had been broken, and that the fall should stop around there. I was wrong by 0.6%, but not much more. And then, on Tuesday, we had this huge run rally of some 300 points. I did not expect it, I must confess. I announced and expected a flat week. And then, the Dow lost most of the rally gains between Wednesday and Thursday. What a weird way to go flat… thebankruptcynewsdotcom As I write this on Thursday, the Dow is at 13,110. Barring a surprise government move (rate cut, or any other measure to inject liquidity into the markets) the next meaningful move should be down to re-test September lows. Next week is Thanksgiving Week in the US so I would expect more flat (”volatilely” flat perhaps?) markets until after Black Friday, which may bring or not bad news from retailers. If the retailers’ news is good it will be due to the injection of liquidity i...
