capex is the most hilarious concept booted around in press
I find discussions absolutely laughable
those discussing it would not have even known what it was just three years ago
what the hell is "capex"???

now they heard capex cratered after autumn 2000
so these numbnut brainless puppets spout out expectations of revived capex after the war

they dont realize that capex outlays are the most risky and largest commitments made by people who actually run businesses and live with their errors, CEO's

nope, capex lags and follows final demand
and demand is dead or dying
these same morons speaking on TV overlook that our manufacturing capacity is being utilized at 75% now
and that figure is dropping
1 in 4 plants lie idle, yet we will see capex revival?
utter stupidity
I know you know this, but let me rant

in a few months, idiots will stand on some other false plank
what will it be?

TRICKLE DOWN DEFENSE SPENDING ???
BANKRUPTCIES ENABLE RENEWED CONSUMER SPENDING ???
FED-LED HELICOPTER DROPS OF $5000 PER HOUSEHOLD ???

before this is over, American stupidity will be the laughing stock in the industrialized world

check the TEN yield chart out, Mikey

finance.yahoo.com^TNX&d=c&t=1y&l=on&z=b&q=l

is this a double bottom to you?
...(indicating higher rates coming)
or a descending bearish triangle?
...(indicating lower rates coming)

to me, this is really clear, a double bottom
with upcoming higher longterm rates and higher mortgage rates
but without a stronger economy to handle the rise

it could be a Head & Shoulder reversal pattern
a break above 4.2% would enleash the dogs to ravage the economy
the target would be 4.2% + 0.6% = 4.8%
the real estate sector will no longer support the stupidity of cashout REFI's to sustain the insanity of continued consumer spending

a shiny silver dime for your thoughts
of course, the dime token is only worth 3 cents
