sally
Ferger Place is very pleasant on my screen... historical, charming...
what don't you understand??
Zab May I inquire your neighborhood because that sounds perfect for me. Or if you don't want to divulge.. could you give me a clue re other neighborhoods besides Ferger Place??
TIA
Thanks Zab-
I like Ferger Place but there are no tiny homes. Any neighborhood suggestions?
Hey Zab,
Why do you like Chattanooga...? I'm looking to move South.
go to the head of the class.
Its a clue
blood in the streets.....
Bruce, how can interest rates go up ... they couldn't pay it.
AND... what do we invest in in perilous times, with insane debt and MUCH more coming...?
Clue--- in very undervalued what..... before it catches on....
Zab, I never said the economy was dead. What I am attempting to impart is..
the dollar is being debased as are other currencies. People get up and drive to their jobs...
but, employment is WAY down. Quality of life is going down the drain including trust, confidence. There is illusion and what is underneath the illusion is fraud & hype to cover up the devastation this nation is in. There is still much they cannot cover up.. as in Detroit after tax payer dollars & the Fed bailed GM out to the tune of how many billions...?
I refer you to John Williams --shadowstats
Charles Biderman--Trimtabs
Greg Williams --USA Watchdog.com
We believe what we choose to. These men are honorable I believe. They individually
work hard at looking under the proverbial hood.
At some point in the future I believe there will be industrial expansion.
And, I agree, take advantage of opportunity. For myself, I find reality serves me well.
I would like to believe I am ahead , only if I can see what lies ahead.
Zab, the economy is not improving ,the market is up on hot air.
Our politicians are the worst in the world outside of Italy..
We don't have leadership, we have corporate lobbyists period.
I have no idea what you base yr analysis on.. the distortions and lies that come
from D.C. and the media is in order to camouflage reality.
Dream on...
everyone is entitled to their illusions....
Tinner- where do you live?
Our snows not until tomorrow..
you really believe the dollar will remain the reserve currency...?
Dominance changes, evolves. The U.S. is in the same shape as Europe..
Media which is 'owned' keeps sheeple from realizing this reality.
Sad thing is it didn't need to happen.
Our so called leadership and our lobbied Congress who are owned by The Big Banks
changed the rules under Clinton and sold us down the river.
Who has the most gold rules in currency. Europe I believe holds the most.
you have a very misconstrued perception Lee. You recently thought I was Borusa LOL.
I forget yr post but I was laughing out loud at my desk.
Borusa questioned yr reason and I recollect that was what had me laughing.
I doubt that I could carry yr weight for longer than a minute, if that.
Carry on chief.
If I'm dining at The Captain's table where will you be dining Lee?
Smoke & Mirrors -Blather to get dollar up for a day..
Control gold & silver prior to letting them go higher.
No Sequester- its ALL baloney
They cannot end QE.
They cannot raise interest rates ..
I think people are here for trading stocks. That would include the
financial , govt. environment both present and historical.
If you have your own personal agenda.. most people here will
recognize that soon enough.
Why don't you find a climate change board...?
That seems more suitable for you...
My apologies for duplicating , I didn't see Dans article ..I had just read Tinner...
Very Sorry..
RECOVERY ANYONE
It is happening already in some areas, but soon half empty malls and boarded up storefronts will litter the landscapes of cities all over America.
Just check out some of these store closing numbers for 2013. These numbers are from a recent Yahoo Finance article…
Best Buy
Forecast store closings: 200 to 250
Sears Holding Corp.
Forecast store closings: Kmart 175 to 225, Sears 100 to 125
J.C. Penney
Forecast store closings: 300 to 350
Office Depot
Forecast store closings: 125 to 150
Barnes & Noble
Forecast store closings: 190 to 240, per company comments
Gamestop
Forecast store closings: 500 to 600
OfficeMax
Forecast store closings: 150 to 175
RadioShack
Forecast store closings: 450 to 550
The RadioShack in a nearby town just closed up where I live. This is all happening so fast that it is hard to believe.
But the truth is that those store closings are not the entire story. When you dig deeper you find a lot more retailers that are in trouble.
For example, Blockbuster recently announced that this year they will be closing about 300 stores and eliminating about 3,000 jobs.
Toy manufacturer Hasbro recently announced that they will be reducing the size of their workforce by about 10 percent.
Even Wal-Mart is going through a tough stretch right now. According to documents that were leaked to Bloomberg, Wal-Mart is having an absolutely disastrous February…

Hap, you don't have to be rude. My education is fine, thank you.
My reading of history is fairly substantial... you ever read Howard Zinn..?
We hold very different understandings.
Perhaps you could consider looking up the word 'dialogue'.
Thank you Dan. A truly remarkable woman. I hope she runs for President.
For you Zab

Forget Internal Memos - Wal Mart Sales Have Been A Disaster Since 2002
While an internal memo expressing concern about recent sales trends at Wal-Mart generates headline clicks, it's NOT (big emphasis here) saying anything new about the long-term trends. Wal-Mart's stock 'adjusted' performance, the only internal memo that matters to investors, has been a complete disaster since 2002 (chart). Since this reality could easily encourage the public to spending less and saving more, a serious no-no Western economic growth, its not widely-published.
As long as private consumption (consumer spending) drives Western economic growth, retail stocks will be leadership sector. As already discussed on Insights, this sector is beginning to show early signs of deterioration amid the growing weight of the global debt crisis.(Market Says Risk-On But Cracks Are Showing).
Many have come to believe that the United States, as the cleanest economic shirt in the world's dirty laundry hamper, can bear the economic weight of the growing global debt crisis. The recent under performance of retail stocks; therefore, suggests a growing vulnerability of the US as the world's sole heavy lifter If the cracks in the facade of the US recovery grow more visible (the negative divergences expand and extend), who's left to do the heavy lifting? This is why 2015-2016 will likely be an important transition period.
Railroad Barons... who are you kidding?
En mass they were unscrupulous..to say the least.
On various levels.. similar to todays bankers and GS etc.
Until there inflation.... soon
time to buy gold & silver stocks.....?
History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.
–Martin Luther King Jr.
yankee, for me, it falls entirely on job creation.
I don't see it . There have to be pockets that are doing well..
They are in my opinion very rare.
We don't have to agree. I don't have to be right.
Printing fiat 'money', buying our own debt instruments
eventually falls in on itself. At that point maybe, just maybe
we can start again. Its going to be nasty. I fear much repression is coming
and I fear they will divert out attention by starting a war.
Russia and China are becoming more capitalist while America
goes the opposite direction.. not good.
Again, we can hold different perspectives... ok?
JSmineset has had a brilliant array of analysis recently.
Inc. the subject of the several Generals i(nc Petreus )being removed because they are resisting
the administration.
Whats on your mind Koog...??
It is not RIMM...
Sorry. No gut involved.
You checked the food stamp use??
I have no interest in politiks anymore.
In the economic landscape , yes.
Ponzi anyone?
Not too long at all Zab.
I appreciate yr. recounting.
The productive capacity of the USA however.. like Europe
is way, way down. not to mention Japan.The elites want world power.
The individual States (here & abroad) are ground in the dust. Cannot go on forever....
but will continue for too long and bring much
suffering and discontent.

Dear CIGAs,
Every governor of every state by law can create and many have created a state defense force. That is not the national guard. As the name implies, it is a state defense force.
It is rumored that these organizations are in the crosshairs of the Administration.
The moment you see these state defense forces under the control of the state governor disbanded, the end has come. The Constitution will no longer exist and the next day I will be writing you from Buckreef in Tanzania.
You are all invited to come with me, but I will not be selling you anything.
Zab, I maintain the economy is doing no improving.
Chattanooga is one of the few places which is doing well...
Enjoy it.
Zab, you live in Chattanooga right??
well, guess that does it for my inviting you over any time soon.
Its just that Zab. Giving up control.. to whom??
And what consequences when "control" takes over,,,??
Collective efforts...provide what,, to you, to them..??
To their owners..??
LARGE QUESTIONS ZAB.
Who exactly is gaining..... at present.
You & I are not.
In a civilized world we have learned to give up control some areas of life, so that we can have more freedom to control the life each one of us desires. If I want food, I can just go to a store and buy it, its as simple as almost everything else people want to do each day. It is done because of the collective efforts of people in different industries to provide that.
you are correct.. the system encourages
dependence.. or-eating twinkies.
Why be productive..?
I could never equate you with Westy.
Theres no recovery anywhere cept near Zab.. and maybe in S. California.
Its dead in the N. East.
The fiscal cliff will be averted.
Real concern is employment and inflation.
