The FED and Central banks are pumping the market. Retail investors are still avoiding it for the most part. A manipulated economic indicator.
Home prices are still down .05% year over year nationwide. Another manipulated economic indicator, although inventories are decreasing. Why are they decreasing? Many bank owned properties are off the market, sitting dormant and sitting on the banks equity balance sheets.
Jobs are stabilizing if you consider 50K manufacturing jobs per month have gone overseas for the last 10 years. Taco Bell? McDonalds? Yes, they are hiring due to high turnover.
Out of one war, soon to be another? Yes, the timeline to exit Iraq was declared under the Bush Admin. That comes as no surprise. Afghanistan? We should have pulled out as soon as Osama was "killed". Africa? Tha'ts where our troops are going next. There will be no "peace" anytime soon.
Keep in mind, the FED wants to inflate our way back to prosperity. This concept alone means markets and housing will rise...But what is not rising? Wages.......More people are being paid less and being trapped by increasing debt and decreased opportunity.
Nothing to celebrate Chloe.
We could obtain that 20% cut by pulling out of foreign countries...Wouldnt affect jobs much here but would increase the unemployment rate when all the folks come home..
But the powers that be cant see the unemployment rate go up! better to keep those bases overseas to prop up the economies of the host countries while ours suffers..
The logic of parasitic idiots who deal in "perception economics" and mind control.
C'mon man....the economy is improving!! The collectivists said so!
Only 12.3 million actively looking for work and 60 million dont work at all and are no longer looking...
That makes the unemployment rate only 7.9%!!!
Once the 12.3 million get kicked off unemployment or just give up, we'll be back down to 4% unemployment, since more folks will be getting laid off this year.!!!
Suicide nets, forced housing, forced abortions!!!! China Rocks!!!
No wonder our "dear leaders" keep passing trade agreements allowing our jobs to be shipped overseas!! Who could want for more!
These patriotic, AmeriKa first events warrant Obomba a third term!!
HAIL Obomba and his masterful economic mind!! ALL HAIL..HAIL!!!!!
And for those with short term, collectivist drone memories....
Fed to Pump $1.2 Trillion Into Markets

The Federal Reserve yesterday escalated its massive campaign to stabilize the economy, saying it would flood the financial system with an additional $1.2 trillion.

It would be hilarious if not so pathetic..The sheep need to pull their heads out. Get out of their "Obomba loves us" delusion and get educated.
little publicized story from last summer.
Market Savior? Stocks Might Be 50% Lower Without Fed
A report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York suggests that the bulk of equity returns for more than a decade are due to actions by the US central bank.
AP
NYSE Traders
Theoretically, the S&P 500 would be more than 50 percent lower—at the 600 level—if the bullish price action preceding Fed announcements was excluded, the study showed.
Posted on the New York Fed’s web site Wednesday, the study sought out to explain why equities receive such a high premium over less risky assets such as bonds.
What they found was that the Federal Reserve has had an outsized impact on equities relative to other asset classes.
For example, the market has a tendency to rise in the 24-hour period before the release of the Fed’s statement on interest rates and the economy, presumably on expectations Chairman Ben Bernanke and his predecessor, Alan Greenspan, would discuss or implement a stimulus measure to lift asset prices.
The FOMC has released eight announcements a year at 2:15 ET since 1994. The study took the gains in the S&P 500 from 2 pm the day before the announcement to 2 pm the day of the statement and subtracted that market move from the S&P 500’s total return over that time span.

Thats bunk Peg..
The market is so manipulated, it's rise means nothing and public confidence has nothing to do with it.
Good point..
They'll learn the hard way.
Underground bases.
In the continental USA there are numerous underground bases. I will briefly list just some of the bases that my research has uncovered over the last 17 years. There are assuredly many more than those listed here.

Statism and the Illusion of Choice
The state is that entity which claims a legitimate monopoly on the use of violence in a given territory, according to Max Weber. The Hobbesian, Rousseauvian, Lockean perspectives are that the state arose from a world of chaos by social contract that vested a ruling class with a monopoly on violence (for the good of the people, of course).
The funny thing is, nobody can point to a point when the modern state arose. Perhaps it was a place like Çatalhöyük (ca. 7500 BC) or Sumer (ca. 2900 BC)—where a stratified society was structured on the basis of might. The earliest monarchies, empires, and republics—they are all essentially based in violence. Inalienable rights were unheard of – if you blasphemed God (or one of his temporal bureaucrats in the Vatican) within the Holy Roman Empire, you could be excommunicated and anyone could kill you without reprisal. Government is rule by some men [sic] over others, nothing more. So is ours—which, let the record show, was built out of slave labor. In some sense, it still is.
Voters place their hope in God-Kings called Presidents, expecting sociopaths to lift them out of servitude.

169,000 Americans Drop Out of Labor Force in January As Unemployment Ticks Up
The number of Americans not in the labor force grew by 169,000 in January, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ latest jobs report.
BLS labels people who are unemployed and no longer looking for work as “not in the labor force,” including people who have retired on schedule, taken early retirement, or simply given up looking for work. There were 89 million of them last month.

LMAO!

Overeem disrespected Silva and paid the price.

LMAO!
Nearly half the butt is above his shoulder and his elbow is way out of position.
And on top of ALL that the rifle is magna ported so he doesnt miss the target!!
Too damn funny
It wont be the Military...It will be the repo men and the world court
1%?
Nearly 4% of our population is behind bars.
thanks for the links.
Our tyrannical Govt has created criminals through unconstitutional legislation to fund the private prison machine.
How low can we go?
Only in Amerika are libtards so dumb to think paying $800.00 per month for their comprehensive insurance that offers a $20 dollar copay is a great deal when they only visit the Doc twice per year.
Some with major medical who pay $300 per month and pay the doctor themselves out of pocket have a better idea.
$400 out of pocket for the two visits and save a net of $5,600.00 per year in premiums.
Don't tell that to the libtard who thinks their $20 co payment is designer coverage and so very convenient.
Put a tard in charge of finance, its only a matter of time before they, their business, their county, their state and everyone around them are broke.
(This message is not a description of "liberals". this is a description of "libtards" and "foaming at the mouth progressives" who put emotion ahead of logic, act informed but really have no clue. idealistic, collectivist drones.
That's a fact...Once our fiat dollar crashes and burns, our collateral is indeed our land and resources.
That's why they want our guns and China even asked Obomba to take them.
Lots of chaos coming to our shores.
Time to buy..
And yet China continues to be demonized for constantly bailing the cabal of criminals in DC out.
Who would have bought that 1.4 trillion in debt if not the Chinese?
Japan isnt far behind. Why are they never demonized?
For decades China was labeled our communist enemy, right up their with the former Soviet Union. What idiot decided they should be allowed to buy our debt in the first place?
This whole scam is ready to crumble.
Liberals shocked to Discover Healthcare in America is Really a scam.
Apparently liberals are outraged to learn paying $20,000 in annual insurance for a $200 out of pocket doctor visit is really dumber than hell and just aiding the entire scam.
Other than for major medical, insurance is worthless for healthy people but liberals just continue to push the lies created by the industry and lick the jack boots of Obomba and his minions.
Good question..
The whole thing is a confusing mess.
IRS: Cheapest Obamacare Plan Will Be $20,000 Per Family
In a final regulation issued Wednesday, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) assumed that under Obamacare the cheapest health insurance plan available in 2016 for a family will cost $20,000 for the year.
Under Obamacare, Americans will be required to buy health insurance or pay a penalty to the IRS.
The IRS's assumption that the cheapest plan for family will cost $20,000 per year is found in examples the IRS gives to help people understand how to calculate the penalty they will need to pay the government if they do not buy a mandated health plan.
The examples point to families of four and families of five, both of which the IRS expects in its assumptions to pay a minimum of $20,000 per year for a bronze plan.
“The annual national average bronze plan premium for a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children) is $20,000,” the regulation says.

He has a profound respect for the traditions of hunting!! Well, Mr. Emperor...What does THAT have to do with THIS???
