Is Doing Nothing the New Vogue?

What if they gave a garage sale and no one showed?

Recently, one of my friends complained of the lack of progress black plaguing the economy, rocking the equity markets with volatility and shaking consumer confidence going into the holiday seasons.

Lisa Shalett, a member of Merrill Lynch’s Investment Officer Team wrote in the November 29th, 2011 issue of CIO Reports VIEW; ” …Markets are inherently impatient and abhor a lack of clarity and certainty.”

For her report on the recent developments in Europe, see the following full report at:

My reply to my friend was to ask; “Do you mean all the uncertainty that has come out of Washington since the Tea Party came to town to rescue Free Market Capitalism from the liberal socialist’s agenda which seemingly has been more than bent on tearing apart just about every one of this country’s institutions …one and all?”

Waxing Righteously Upon the Backs of Parables

Waxing Righteously Upon the Backs of Parables

I find it an interesting objective commentary to closely view and scrutinize the observations and comments of third-parties’ consternations….the lowest form of which is otherwise known as gossip.

My case in point today is one which I have deliberately chosen to make, taking it from a lesson which came to mind in a lesser-known and seldom quoted Biblical parable …one which chillingly reminds me of the today’s events and affects of all things European.

The Achilles Heel of Capitalism

The Achilles Heel of Capitalism

What is the Achilles Heel of Capitalism?

a. Too big to fail

b. Too small to succeed

c. No due diligence, oversight and accountability

d. All of the above

Mutually Inclusive or Exclusive?

Is The Failure of Capitalism …Too Big To Fail?

If the failure of Capitalism is deep seated in “…too big to fail …” where is China on a scale of 1 to 10?

The U.S.has long promoted …if not flirted with too big to fail. Yet, in spite of the recent past’s intertwined financial catastrophes …the U.S.A. is still …reluctantly unwilling to demonstrate an ability to adequately exercise the sort of responsible constraints and policies necessary to fully come to grips with the realities and consequences still facing her in the wake of her failures …both in the here and now, as well as with many compounding issues which will extend out like an outstreched long hand …well into the future.

Like road bumps and pot holes; the catalysts of America’s most recent failures are …those which have produced some most revealing wake up calls.

I’m Dreaming of A White Christmas

Deck the Halls of Congress with Bells of Folly …

Oh, the joys of Christmas …anxiously awaiting the toys which may be expected …or not. Regardless, the surprise …or the disappointment which lies in store …just might be a function of today’s haste …a spirit’s calls whose preparations just might be the foreshadowing of the past’s waste …that which has opened the door of the present only to beckon back the spirit of the past waste, no?

Go figure. Three years of waste …to move forward to today’s haste …to welcome further …still more waste?

You know they say; “…A stitch in time saves nine …”

Its corollary has been stated such that haste makes waste.

And this corollary can be stated simply, such that; waste makes for haste.

Like truths, when aptly applied …like geometry …these adages beg the following rather serious question.

Have the US fallen under these adage’s spells? Have they has netted the U.S. a return on Her investment which is (nine XXXXXXXX) nine times the haste of the last three years’ waste?

If so, today’s extra large sized (9X) net of haste must not be allowed to morph into the sea of a second merry-go-round of nine-squared worth’s (9X9) waste …the likes of which have come and gone over the last three years’ worth of wasted time, money and blind-sighted effort in neglect and lack of a more sure due-diligent aim and note-worthy purpose. (For whatever is the aim and purpose of socialism …other than to live to serve the fricking government….and that beyond “We the People …? Feed Me Seymour?)

9 X 9 = 81 times the waste …if, you know what I mean, yes?

And that all will most likely face a multiplier affect attributable to inflation …when and if the U.S. further opens the floodgates’ doors further.

S&P Grade; Looking A Gift Horse In The Mouth

Friday evening, I was reading and listening to as many media resources …such as I could get my hands on …so as to get a grasp on the various media takes on the recent S&P downgrade of America’s Credit.

My take away from the deluge of the various news agencies offered me a unique and insightful view on number of wide-ranging variety of takes on this news moving forward.

After learning of this event; this is what I believe I found out in my approach to the media’s window

The Costs of Artificial Global Monetary Policies

Is Down The New Organic?

Not Hardly!!!

Or, Is Down The Demise …of A New More Organic Reality …One Forever Gone Missing?

If So, Then, Falling Is A Price For Artificial’s Failing

…A Boldfaced Lie!

Containment?

After All, Make The Bed — Sleep In It.

Contagion!

Artificial Global Monetary Policies — A Bed Too Narrow …Too Short.

A Squeeze Which Can Not Be Covered

The long-winded title of this piece is a forward looking opportunity whose reality may only be realized …if and only if ….global artificial monetary policy is taken …seriously …within respect to the proportionally larger object in our rear view mirror.

So, as woe be Europe and the other global economies …woe be US.

Artificial Monetary policy applies to the title in that it could also be titled more appropriately; What Goes Around …Comes Around.

So, in the wake of QE-1&2 …just when you thought that it was safe to go into the water …..jaws-III European and World style!!!

Dwarf that …if you care to try!!!
