Personal Income Falls

Tue, 04 Aug 2009 19:01:26 GMT

The pattern of two steps forward and one step back in the economic data took a big step back today with the release of the personal income and spending numbers. Personal income fell by 1.3% for the month, reversing a 1.3% increase in May, and a 0.2% gain in April. Disposable Personal income suffered a 1.3% decline following increases of 1.6% in May and 0.8% in April. The reason for the swing was the timing of some of the Stimulus Act spending. In May, Social Security recipients got an extra one-time $250 payment, which increased personal transfer income by $166.1 billion and caused the May increase. In June, the absence of these one-time payments caused transfer income to fall by $131.7 billion. If one strips out this effect, personal income fell by 0.1% in June after being unchanged in May. Private wages fell by 28.6 billion in June following an $11.3 billion decline in May. This was the 10th straight month where[More...]

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 16:33:54 GMT

I am sure you have called your broker on occasions when you had a problem with your account. Usually, how long did it take for your broker to answer your phone call? Were you be able to talk to a broker when you needed immediate assistance with your trades? I have a few brokerage accounts and among them three I use most often: Scottrade, Zecco, and TradeKing. In the past, I have contacted all of them for various questions, some related to traking, some just general[More...]

Secular Bear Markets And A River In Egypt

Thu, 26 Feb 2009 22:13:00 GMT

I don't know. I suppose that if most of what I did over the last few decades revolved around compelling individual investors to buy stocks for the long run, come what may, it might be difficult to look at things objectively. Denial is a powerful force in the world and perhaps one of the most under-appreciated. These days, a lot of people are having a very hard time with the whole idea that individual ownership of stocks (and now real estate) is not the panacea that they once thought. That doesn't, however, stop them from encouraging individuals to just "tough it out", likely knowing that,[More...]

The Baltimore Sun Jay Hancock column: Economic refrain: 'We're forever blowing bubbles'

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:50:00 GMT

Nov. 20--Thursday's stock market decline was just what Ben Bernanke needed.
If people keep bidding up stocks with the cheap money he's handing out, he'll go down in history as the dumbest central banker ever, the one who blew a new investment bubble while he was still sweeping up the shards of the previous two.
But if he takes away the cheap money, unemployment goes toward 15 percent, the highest since the Depression.
