Markets in woe

US stock market and economy on shaky ground now. Things are about to get worse. Not just for investors, but also for average joes. Instead of waking up, we hear snoring in congress. Hey, guess what, they will wake up - in  nov.

soaring yen

People often speak of the gold rising. However, let us look at the real reason. There has been a drop in the dollar that is on going. Things are different if you look at the yen. Basically, as a nation there are many exports from japan. It produces many products people buy so you see an increase in desire for its currency. Which explains why there is a soaring yen. People should look at gold in terms of real value, such as yen. Fact is gold has not gone up. It keeps pace.

Fiat sells mini cars

OK one of my predictions was that gasoline would rise next year. This may explain why the cars of the future are smaller than now. Basically, the big suv is gone. Fiat plans to start selling mini cars. They are getting ready for what is coming. Expect to pay more at the pump.

70 applicants for every college job

Sadly, unemployment is not just a problem for america. Things are even worse in europe. For example, in UK there are 70 applicants for every college job. Yeah, that is seventy not seven. People are told they should consider flipping burgers for fast food or stacking shelves in a grocery. Hey, I am not making this up. Better get use to those golden arches young men. Would you like some fries with that sir?

FED out of ammo

Folks this is a question to which I do not have an answer. Is the FED out of ammo? This could be a problem for us. Mostly, if Ben Bernake is seen as weak and wimpy. It could lead other nations to dump the dollar and get out of our paper currency. Short term gold would rise. FED would see the dollar crash right away. People might panic. However, long term we could have wars.

Things are getting ugly right now. China will make a decision as to what to do about our currency. They may in fact chose for a time to support us, but down the road I am not so sure. China needs our raw materials as in wood and grain, but not our paper.

heat ray in prison

There is going to be a heat ray in prison. I say, science fiction is more real every day, and then some. Who could have even imagine in jail a ray gun? This military radar can be used to burn some prisoners. John Titor did talk about military non lethal weapons. Here they are. WWIII is not far away. Time to get some silver coins.

doom sayer?

There are people who say I preach doom and gloom and that is what they call me. Peter Schiff believes a complete collapse of global economy is coming. He buy gold and is called a doom sayer. We need to realize what is going on. Sadly, many do not realize what is near. HDRKID latest prediction is for gold to hit 1500 next year. Things are starting to get a bit crazy.

down day

It was yet another down day for the dow because full of fear are the bulls even. Fundamentals are also scary. The Hindenburg omen is telling us we are headed for a market crash again. Things are bad out there and getting worse. I also fear the Hindenburg omen.

DOWn jones

Well, today the DOWn jones industrial average was down over 100 points which does not comes as a surprise. Dow slumps to six week low on recovery concerns. It did manage to stay above 10,000 which is good news. However, brace yourself for more sad tidings as we are told that housing hit a 15 year low now. Yeah, worst ever in 15 years. Houses are not selling due to our poor economy. This is not enough to wake up congress. Sadly, congress is asleep at the wheel again.

next black swan

Investors what to profit from the next black swan event. Basically, a black swan is a something we cannot see. It is an event that is difficult to predict because it is not like anything before to which we were expose. OK so for that reason, we often are not able to prepare. That said, I do feel we are getting close to financial armageddon that is way beyond what we can imagine.

solar power

People need to get ready and prepare. The ways are many. Here is a generator using solar power. Hope you do not depend on this soon. However, it can generate power in an emergency. I love solar power.

Bookstores soon gone

Bookstores will soon be gone. This was a big keystone prediction I made years ago. The new ereaders are getting more viewers. Hard back books are going away. OK so say goodbye to the hard covers.

robot cleaners

Folks, step right up. Just found out iRobot has a pool cleaner to help you save time and money. Well, wish they had a robot lawn mower. I hate mowing the grass. Then again, if I do not do it the lawn looks terrible and then some. Personal robots will become more popular in the days to come. Notice most robot cleaners are aim at helping women.

Obama a muslim?

Obama says he is Christian. However, a growing number of Americans say he is Muslim. OK many have questions about his faith. This is even  before he openly sided with those wanting to build the Cordoba mosque near ground zero...

Housing starts plunge

Housing starts plunge due to a flood of foreclosures that is increasing. Sadly, average price of a home declined from 200,000 in 2005 to approx 130,000 now. It might soon go under 100,000 causing banks to ask the gov for more money. Things are hairy, and getting scary.

Meanwhile, Barnes and Nobles books are gathering dust as people flock to amazon. Fact is that you can buy digital books cheaper and save money. Physical books are heavy, cumbersome, and expensive.

social media

People, you should use social media to network, build relationships, and gain exposure. I do not dig DIGG as they are nofollow and treat poor us power users. However, the social media sites are many more. This is a great way to stay in touch with other persons.

China sell T-bonds

This is a very serious sign. China sold US treasury bills and bonds in june. What is it they are seeing? Trouble ahead is my guess. Oil prices will spike next year. Expect this to hurt our already poor economy. OK as to why China sell T-Bonds, not sure. However, this can never be good for us. It raise our cost to borrow money. As said before, this is a worrying sign.

mosque a national issue

Obama makes the ground zero mosque a national issue. This is something for New Yorkers to decide as they lost thousands of their fellow citizens in one of the worst acts of inhumanity ever. I know one guy that was inside when it happened and he is puerto rican. People live in fear and still have night mares. Yeah, even now.

virtual currency

Google buys Jambool a virtual currency company. This is the future as we move away from paper. People need to realize the we are virtualizing our environment more and more. OK soon we will have a virtual economy.

crisis

The last five days have seen drops in the dow as our economy worsens. Debunkers have stopped talking about the recovery. What we now face is a crisis as stark as a cold hard winter and  that is very serious. John Titor predicted this time would come. Unemployment will keep rising. Jobs are harder to find now. Classifieds have shrunk because you do not need to advertise when you already have a flood of resumes. I have said it before and will say it again. Basically, crime will rise. People, we are in a crisis.
