    Dow Jones closes above 8000 - Recession Ends?

    They like the story coming out of the G20, could this be the beginning of the end in the states? I heard on the radio this morning that house sales had increased there, and prices also went up .9% in the UK.

    It is not the beginning of the end in the states, it is the beginning of the end of the states.

    I agree. They said that Herbert Hoover's government spending, consumption stimulus and "maintanance of demand" were ending the Great Depression in 1931. Boy were they wrong.

    The printers are just heating up and the big push is on,lets all devalue and inflate together yipee.
    Us poor and getting poorer humans.
    A champion of the people emerges with the age-old and appealing promise of "something for nothing" - to be financed through every-increasing taxes. Supply and demand are thrown out of gear - the overhead goes up; the effective use of human energy goes down; the standard of living is lowered because money cannot buy wealth that is not produced.

    House sales in the US are increasing because of sell offs of repo-ed houses. Hardly points to a recovery.

    Stock markets fell well in advance of the recession. They are always ahead of the curve. Could be a good time to invest. When people are brave, be scared. When people are scared, be brave.
