"So far, the stocks are going the right way, but they are not cheap enough to buy yet. This crisis mainly hits the govt.s and the the banks, not the consumers and the firms." The problem is that liberal governments have massively over promised but are getting to the point that they can no longer deliver. That means either massive monetization of debt, austerity, and tax increases when the country has its own currency or just austerity and tax increases when it doesn't. All of those sharply reduce the purchasing power of consumers and impact business negatively. If banks wind up taking a hit on the debt, we are right back into the same credit crisis that squashes the availability of credit for marginal and even solid credits. Again, that's really bad for consumers and business in general. Jimmy Rogers said it best. "Give me a few trillion dollars and I can show a country a good time for awhile too". Well guess what, the promises were too big, the money ran out, and the gig is up. Greece is just the first shot in what will be a series of economic disasters over the next decade or two created by left wing promises and delusion combined with Keynesian economics. The solution is for banks to take a partial hit and austerity from the goverments. While that would very painful for awhile, at least the future would be promising. The way the Keynesian's are addressing these issues the future looks both painful and bleak.

Creepy liberal stalker/writer rents Palin's neighbor house What the fukk is wrong with you liberals , why so angry and evil ? Sarah Palin Gets More Abuse: Investigative Writer Joe McGinness Moves In Next Door What is the sick fascination with Sarah Palin’s personal life? Man, this woman is loathed by the left. How consumed with hatred do you have to be to do this: >>>>> Spring has sprung in Alaska, and with this beautiful season comes the news today that the Palins have a new neighbor! Welcome, Joe McGinniss! Yes, that Joe McGinniss. Here he is – about 15 feet away on the neighbor’s rented deck overlooking my children’s play area and my kitchen window. Maybe we’ll welcome him with a homemade blueberry pie tomorrow so he’ll know how friendly Alaskans are. We found out the good news today. Upon my family’s return this morning from endorsement rallies and speeches in the Lower 48 states, I finally got the chance to tackle my garden and lawn this evening! So, putting on the shorts and tank top to catch that too-brief northern summer sun and placing a giddy Trig in his toddler backpack for a lawn-mowing adventure, I looked up in surprise to see a “new neighbor” overlooking my property just a stone’s throw away. Needless to say, our outdoor adventure ended quickly after Todd went to introduce himself to the stranger who was peering in… Joe announced to Todd that he’s moved in right next door to us. He’s rented the place for the next five months or so. He moved up all the way from Massachusetts to live right next to us – while he writes a book about me. Knowing of his many other scathing pieces of “journalism” (including the bizarre anti-Palin administration oil development pieces that resulted in my Department of Natural Resources announcing that his work is the most twisted energy-related yellow journalism they’d ever encountered), we’re sure to have a doozey to look forward to with this treasure he’s penning. Wonder what kind of material he’ll gather while overlooking Piper’s bedroom, my little garden, and the family’s swimming hole? Welcome, Joe! It’ll be a great summer – come borrow a cup of sugar if ever you need some sweetener. And you know what they say about “fences make for good neighbors”? Well, we’ll get started on that tall fence tomorrow, and I’ll try to keep Trig’s squeals down to a quiet giggle so we don’t disturb your peaceful summer. Enjoy! - Sarah Palin >>>>> The above from Palin's facebook page. You know, I’ll take the press seriously when then move in next door to Barack Obama’s house or Joe Biden’s house or some random Kennedy’s house. This means one thing to me: The biggest threat to the Democrat ideology is Sarah Palin. While Mitt Romney lurks in the background amassing money and ostensibly support, and other Republican politicians stand by, Sarah Palin takes arrows for the team. This is such an outrage. If I were her, I’d electrify the fence. Also: What kind of neighbors does she have that would sell their home to exploit her family this way? No Christmas cards for them. Idiots. theothermccain.com

Mike, How about SMG? I picked that up in July of '08(of all times) and it's more than doubled, yet still has a PE of only 15 or so. Nothing like growing your own veggies when you can't afford that big summer vacation. Of course, I still like HXL, even though many don't think its product is practical for ground transport. I figure that will change over time. And the air transport people will have to switch to composites. It's just too damned expensive the way it is. A lighter bird is a much cheaper bird to operate. And if I might mention one more, it's GEOY. Satellite based imaging has applications in natural resources as well as military based intel. Between those two you'd think you can't go wrong given the right price, and I don't think GEOY is overly priced. Of course you DO have the problem of satellite failure, so maybe that is why it's so cheap.
