most people would be better off if they would ignore macke. nine times out of ten he shows his ignorance.
Hi Wimpy with the Auditor mentioned:
you have hit the nail on the head. homes need to sell so new housing starts can rise and you are also correct the unemployment rates will stay elevated for i think a couple of years.
The Auditor has hit nothing with his unsupported “I believe” testimony in Post #2. If Wimpy has ANY financial expert (like you see in the OP) with evidence that U.S. Stock Market/Economy Fundamentals will EVER improve, then please paste that information to this thread in your next thoughtful reply. Neither of you guys have bothered to address one point in the Opening Post, because you have nothing to support any case for anything at allconfused: = as usual). Agreeing with the Auditor that unemployment rates will stay elevated
cuckoo: = you guys are funny) actually supports the OP hypothesis that the stock markets and the U.S. Economy in general are IMPLODING.

Just put your fat behinds in Dennis’ chair and try to understand what Jeff Mackey is saying using language fit for a child ‘and’ perhaps something will sink in to show you guys “the Light” . . .
Just say, “Yeah” and nod (like bobble head stooges) . . . and pretend you have some idea about what Jeff is talking about . . .

Agreeing that unemployment will remain high does not equate to ever increasing unemployment nor does it equate to an imploding stock market. That already happened as the market lost half of it's value. This recent rally is not likely indicitive of a new bull market but rather is a bear rally. I would not be surprised at all to see us back down in the 6000 range again, but any lower is highly unlikely.
BTW, you posted comments from a few doomsday so called experts. Are you telling us there are no experts out there with different views? Or do you just choose to ignore them?

There are many more so called experts who don't buy into the idea that we are headed to global disaster. Your scenario is just one of the multitude of possibilities.
Paulie is that avatar of yours Obama? if it is? in the right light, kinda favors George W Bush in a weirded out kinda way??? I saw i think it was on MSNBC, NBC, ABC or CNN one of them, that some how or the other, BUSH, Cheney and Obama are all cousins 4th and 5thBy the way Terral, there's no Y in Macke's name. Just in case you'd like to clean up your act a bit.

i dont think we will see 6,000 again. i think davd s is being too confident in his 10,000 by july scenario. we are seeing a 3rd wave of foreclosures and this time the velocity of that is vicious. until the rate of foreclosure slow we can't recover fully. that's not going to happen until companies stop firing people.

But what about all these illegal mexicans 30,000,000 running around with anchor babies that dont pay taxes? or petrolium prices starting to climb again, trillion dollar bailouts with over printed inflationary bills? unemployment climbing, foreclosures as you said, not to mention the titlewave of loan interest coming to fruit on all of the above. Defies all common logic, given the benfit of the doubt, if were to somehow work it would be of OMAN proportions. Laugh if you please, i personally beleive we are in for one hell of a social and financial ride in the very near future... For the few that do have money arent going to invest it on a dying economy or the vultures thereof........

so who or what is worth an ear now Paulie? ~S~
Anyone can pick any expert they choose to listen to and believe their line of thinking. That doesn't make your line of thinking correct just because a few so called experts think we're on the verge of collapse. There are just as many, and actually many more, experts who believe we have bottomed out and things are likely to begin improving in the very near future.
I happen to fall in the middle due to the massive housing bubble. You are correct that there is no room for new home building, and that is precisely why I believe this downturn will be protracted, in my view probably for around ten years. We went through this in the 70's and 80's where we had near ten percent unemployment, but the economy did not implode then, and it is highly unlikely to do so now.
Housing is a major problem for one simple reason, we overbuilt. For a stretch of nearly five years, almost all new home sales were due to speculators.
If you look at total home sales, buyers who purchased homes for their personal use only accounted for existing home sales. There was no need for the building of any new homes during that period, but speculators created the bubble by purchasing and trying to flip these homes. When they finally realized there were no buyers, we hit a brick wall.
So, who will purchase these homes? Well, we continue to increase our population by nearly 3 million people per year. As population increases, those homes will be filled, and then new home construction will start again. Until then, things are going to be rough for everyone, but that doesn't mean our economy is going to implode or that we're going to see 25% unemployment.
The fact is that right now we have real unemployment of around 4%.
