3/5/12 Economic Update

Presented By Eric C Hagen, www.EricCHagen.com, @ericchagen, ehagen@nextfinancial.com HEADLINES Gain in consumer spending, durable goods orders & Institute for Supply Management index decline, home prices slip but sales contracts increase, S&P500 & NASDAQ advance while DOW DJIA has a flat week. WEEKLY QUOTE “We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” – Maya Angelou WEEKLY TIP Beware of being too risk-averse when it comes to planning retirement income. Some retirees have portfolios so conservative that their incomes struggle to keep pace with inflation. WEEKLY RIDDLE Two fathers and two sons shopped for computers at their local big box retailer. Each bought a PC, yet they bought only three PCs total. How could this be? Last week’s riddle: Name the three English-language three-letter words that begin and end with the letter E. Last week’s answer: Eve, ewe and eye. THIS WEEK: The data stream is pretty light this week, at least in terms of domestic economic news. Monday, ISM releases its February service sector index and we get Census Bureau data on January factory orders. Tuesday offers Q4 earnings from Dick’s Sporting Goods and Pandora Media. Wednesday, we have earnings reports from H&R Block, Hovnanian and American Eagle Outfitters. In addition to new weekly jobless claims figures, Thursday will bring Q4 results from Smithfield Foods, Williams-Sonoma, Quicksilver and Stein Mart. Friday, the February unemployment report comes out along with data on wholesale

Paulson’s Hyperinflationary Folly! Endless Bailouts. The Current Economic System is Doomed.

FIRST: We must recognize the reality of a national emergency in the form of an accelerating, hyper-inflationary, general breakdown-crisis of the US banking and monetary system. This trend must be halted by emergency action in bankruptcy reorganization: All present plans for financial bail-out of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac must be cancelled under threat of impeachment or similar action against any US officials caught in complicity with such an attempted, inherently fraudulent bail-out scheme for absolutely wrecking the USA financially in favor of London and Wall Street predators. Federal reorganization of the financial system in bankruptcy must occur immediately. We, as government, must be committed to pay what must be paid to maintain the general welfare of the population and of functions of Federal, state, and local government, and to freeze what can not be paid currently without damaging the payments which are of fundamental strategic and human interest. Many people have engaged in what are in fact, tolerated swindles, as typified by the disgusting matter of “golden parachutes,” while essential human interests of people who have earned their actual right to income are looted to pay for “golden parachutes” and comparable swindles. Those who managed the economy are those who are chiefly responsible for the failure which their reign induced; they should not claim too loudly what they did not actually earn by human standards for the proper meaning of “earning.” The word of

Is cutting govt spending while economy is weak an economic suicide?

Question by : Is cutting govt spending while economy is weak an economic suicide?
GDP = Consumer + Investment + Govt Spending + Export – Import.

If so, doesn’t cutting spending while economy still weak lead to another recession (decrease in GDP). If so, why are Republicans advocating so much about cutting spending? Do they want to destroy the economy so that they can have a chance for White House in 2012 – party first, country second?

Answer by Yam King 7
We are wasting $ 700 million a day to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, while our teachers, firefighters and police lose their jobs, while we slash basic assistance programs for the poor, children and the elderly, while we turn our backs on the some 3 million people being pushed from their homes by foreclosures and bank repossessions and while we do nothing to help the one in six American workers who cannot find work. These wars have taken hundreds of thousands of lives. They have pushed millions into refugee or displacement camps. They have left young men and women severely crippled and maimed. They have turned our nation into an isolated pariah, fueling the very terrorism we seek to defeat. And they cannot be won. The sooner we leave Iraq and Afghanistan the sooner we will save others and finally save ourselves.
