Strong GDP Report 'High Watermark' for U.S., Not Sign of Upturn, Economist Says

These are not natural cycles, and this one especially is not. The world is many feet above their heads in dollars. After USSR collapsed two hundreds millions run for dollars. China and India gave another several hundred millions. Currency accounts for oil and other natural resources trading are loaded with dollars. Guess why Paulson were running through the world. Because those people, funds, countries are loosing interest in dollars. If they will throw the money back to USA the current loses of dollar will be nothing comparing to you’ll see.

Nothing you said indicates that this isn't natural. What do you think natural means? That it doesn't have a cause? All recessions have a cause! The business cycle is a natural response to that cause. Now that the weak dollar is making oil very expensive, we are using much less and innovation in alternative fuels has exploded. Do you see how the weak dollar is forcing us to FIX the problem? That is how natural business cycles work.

tech ticker as a contrarian indicator? i dont think it's that widely followed. although he did get to speak to korean president, how did that happen? koreans are really online all the time i guess.

You can produce as much alternative energy as you want, it will not fix problem because people do not have money to buy it. Another overproduction, price on energy will go below of cost of production. Overproducers will take losses and close production or bankrupt. Any way investors will be screwed, like it happened with farmers building small ethanol shops. They bankrupt, big manufactures bought auctioned ethanol shops. Wealth displacement became even bigger. There is nothing natural in this crisis, and last semi-cycles. It’s not natural to ride alone a huge SUV or 2 tons track that takes twice as much gas as a normal car, or more. The demand on SUV was artificial through psychopathic marketing campaign and people’s mental problems. The grows 2003-2007 is artificial trough abuse of credit system. The .com-market crisis was artificially created through future stock price inflation mechanism created by wall street (proved, many investment banks agreed on penalty).

We have become a nation of borrowers and spenders. Savers are in short supply. Interest rates discourage saving and have for some time. The fed wants inflation which destroys wealth. Savers are further penalized. The only way the fed can handle our accumulated debt of trillions is to outsource the debt; after all they have destroyed the american saver's ability to provide the resources to purchase our own debt.

@James L, please define greedy.
