Why should they when they will just keep getting more bailouts?

Investors Face Big Challenges In Slow-Growth US Economy
Hardly a challenge. Just short this inflated market back to 6000. But don't short yet.

Market, Public Worry About Real, Not Bogus Bills
As unemployment and energy & food prices continue to rise, expect Obama's approval rating to plunge in the coming months and years.

Can We Afford All This Spending?
Moron Alert! Just keep printing money to make the DJIA go up. Awesome strategy, huh? Who cares if the USA forfeits its economic sovereignty to China.

When we get a correction? Who knows. The momentum is still strongly bullish, which makes me hesitant to short.

The Bulls Are Fighting Back
Yup...markets rising yet again even though the economy stinks. That's is why I'm not short-yet. The sidelined cash theory is a load of bull. The wealth was destroyed.

So what you're saying is the market could go up or down? Brilliant.

BusinessWeek trying to reinflate another bubble. Bunch of scum. Housing prices need and will fall further.

For that to happen we'd have to get rid of Obama, Geithner, and Bernanke and raise interest rates back to 5%. Free money policies give scummy banks an incentive to fail.

Regulatory Reform That Falls Far Short of It
I couldn't agree more. All this talk of a 'new era' of regulation and reform is trite.

Fed Up with the Fed
The little people have no power, not surprisingly. Just keep biding up stocks. Who cares if the economy is going down the toilet.

Bulls Ask, Is It 2003 All Over Again?
This is the prelude to the real financial crisis that will unfold within the next ten years that will make this current 'crisis' look like a joke. Look out below!

It means people doing more work for stagnant, inflation laging wages. Awesome! Where can I sign up?

Rise 32% ... and then fall 75%.

The golden wall of worry
Gold will always remain a solid (no pun intended) long term investment, especially as 'phase 2' of the crisis unfolds...

Best-performing bull bellows bravely
Despite my bearish pronouncements on this website I'm actually a bull in the short term. Eventually there will be a very nice shorting oppotunity.

Bank Profits Seen Rebounding Despite Credit-Card Weakness
Yup...all of a sudden everything is peachy. More evidence that these bailouts were just a giant scam on the tax payer.

How the Dow and Dollar Dance
Yup...devaluing the dollar to make the stock market go up. That's been the trend since 2002.

RIM: Big Plans for the Second Half
Blackberies and iPhones will save the economy. Just more of the usual perma-bull nonsense from BusinessWeek.

Stick to Income, Cash amid Rising Euphoria
Sound advice. Once the next shoe drops and crushes these 'green shoots' it ain't gonna be pretty.

Analysts' Comments: Still A Bear Market Rally?
Interesting opinions from a panel of experts.

Return of the Jobless Recovery
It's 2003 all over again. Surging energy & food prices, near zero interest rates, and no jobs.

I agree that gold ETFs aren't a good substitute for tangible gold.

The market will crash yet again when it becomes apparent that inflation-omics fails. But when? Who knows.

Agree. Too much hype.

This could explain why there is so much vitriol regarding the egregious pay packages & bonusses for financial institutions.

Companies Flooding Stock Markets With New Shares to Drive Stocks Lower Over Summer

Interesting. If excutives have little faith in the marrket why should investors? Good charts, too.

Senators wonder, why give more power to the Fed?
Agree 100%. The Fed CREATED this crisis in 2003. It's like letting the foxes guard then hen house.

Here come higher interest rates
Then can we raise them already? but with bernanke at the helm don't get your hopes up. He's of the same ilk as Greenspan.

Solution to Our Economic Mess? Limit Leverage!
Um...yea good luck with that, especially with 'beagle boy' Bernanke.

U.S. Doubling Unemployment Pay Checks to Stimulate Economy
If the adminsitration really wants to help 'main street' they should cancel these stupid gimmicks and do someting about the surging energy and food prices that are gouging hard working Americans. Hint: raise rates & stop spending.

Today's Outrage: Stupid Bankers Never Learn
Why should they when there is no consequence for failure? Or when all this talk of regulation & reform is NEVER enforced?

S&P 500 Long, Medium, and Short Term
The analysis is somewhat vague, but good charts nevertheless. S&P 500 remains in a holding pattern.

Today's Outrage: Worry Not About U.S. Debt
Obviously the credit rating agencies are crooked. It would take a nuclear holocaust and 200% debt to GDP for the US credit rating to be downgraded from 'AAA' to just 'AA'

U.S. Treasury Bonds Bear Market Final Head-Fake
Be careful though. Treasury bonds will continue to be butchered if this bear market rally pepetuates.

Twin Threat: Jobless Rate, Deficit
If unemployment, food, and and energy prices remains at historic highs coming into 2012, Obama will lose. The perpetual ocupation of Iraq isn't helping matters either.
