Oh....O.K. .....how to deal with "conservative"-paranoia, after their frat-boy has screwed-up the U.S.-economy....​

"For more than three decades, rule 2a 7 has generally provided a sound framework in which money market funds have operated, largely without issue until the recent financial crisis that we have all faced. For money market funds, this culminated last fall when The Reserve Fund began experiencing a run on its Primary Fund that also spread to other Reserve funds. Ultimately, when The Primary Fund broke a buck, investors, mostly institutional, in other prime money market funds tried to redeem their holdings or move them to Treasury or government money market funds. And, this trend was no doubt intensified by the overall turbulence in the market for financial sector securities at the time.

Today, in proposing rules to strengthen the money market fund regulatory structure, we must recognize both that the system in place historically has served investors quite well, and that there are enhancements that we should consider in order to reflect the problems experienced by money market funds during the financial crisis and our experience with The Reserve Fund. One of the strengths of our financial regulatory system, and one of our strengths at the Commission, is that we never hesitate to re examine and improve upon what we have already done. These enhancements should make money market funds more resilient to certain short term market risks, and provide greater protections for investors in a money market fund that is unable to maintain a stable net asset value per share.

We are proposing to do this in several ways. For example, we would tighten the risk limiting conditions of rule 2a 7 by, among other things, requiring funds to maintain a portion of their portfolios in instruments that can be readily converted to cash, reducing the weighted average maturity of portfolio holdings, and limiting funds to investing in the highest quality portfolio securities. Also, we would require money market funds to report their portfolio holdings monthly to us. Further, we would permit a money market fund that has "broken the buck" to suspend redemptions to allow for the orderly liquidation of fund assets.

Also, we are seeking comment on other potential changes in our regulation of money market funds. Specifically, we are requesting comment on whether money market funds should have "floating" rather than stabilized net asset values, and whether to require that funds satisfy redemption requests in excess of a certain size through in kind redemptions. I am particularly looking forward to comments on these broader ranging issues."

Yeah, they're reeeeaaaalllly tampering with things, alright.....

"The Ford sales surge included all categories of its cars and trucks and ran beyond the expectations of analysts and sent the company's stock sharply higher. Ford shares powered above $11 to hit their highest level since August 2005.

The stock has gained 55 percent in a rally since early November and has more than quadrupled over the past year as investors bet the No. 2 U.S. automaker would steer clear of the federal bailouts that wiped out equity in its domestic rivals.

Ford's U.S. market share rose to 15 percent for all of 2009, up about a percentage point on the year to mark the first such gain for the automaker since 1995, when it controlled about a quarter of the market."

Gee...sales returning to the (last) years of Prosperity.....the CLINTON Years!!!!

Dec 6, 2010 - The decay continues under Obama, it's called
CHANGE!

There was a report today that employers cut 84,000 private sector jobs last month. The ADP National Employment Report came in worse than the forecasts of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.

That is bad no matter how the Obama media spins it!


Minutes from the Fed's December meeting showed that a "few members" thought that the central bank's $1.25 trillion program to buy mortgages could need to grow, rather than be phased out on March 31.

Just more borrowing from your kids future to create an illusion the
housing market is improving!
 
Even Stalin's own economist concluded capitalism better than communism. So, Stalin had him executed for this. Yet American liberals still believe.

Liberals must always silence their critics. Just as Stalin executed all who dissented.
The Kondratieff Wave was developed by Nikolai D. Kondratieff, a Russian economist, who discovered a 50-54 year business cycle in the United States. Kondratieff was attempting to prove that within capitalism there is an inevitable long down wave in the economy. Stalin wanted to prove that communism was better, because it did not have corrections or recessions, rather it just continued higher infinitely. Kondratieff believed that there was about a 20-year upward move in an economy when an economy would expand. Eventually, as inflationary pressure took hold, the economy would have a flatting plateau period of 7-10 years followed by a 20-year decline. He felt that this Kondratieff Wave was a direct refection of a country's social fabric. As Kondratieff continued to do his research, he noticed that out of depression, an economy would be the beneficiary of cheap money and cheap labor. A key note to remember is that Joseph Stalin, charged Kondratieff to come up with a theory that would discount capitalism, while Kondratieff's theory showed that out of recessions, economies would return stronger than before. Kondratieff paid dearly for his criticism of Stalin and the communist model, and was sentenced to prison. Kondratieff was later sentenced to death in 1938 for a number of criticism's of communism and his Kondratieff Wave theory .

Did you vote for CHANGE?

Jan 8, 2010 after the bell!!!

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Americans borrowed less for a 10th consecutive month in November with total credit and borrowing on credit cards falling by the largest amounts on records going back nearly seven decades.

The dramatic declines raised new worries about whether consumers will cut back further on spending, making it harder for the economy to mount a sustained rebound.

The Federal Reserve said Friday that total borrowing dropped by $17.5 billion in November, a much bigger decline than the $5 billion decrease economists had expected.


These are bad results after all that gov't spending!
Where is that hope and where are the jobs?

The jobs aren't coming back under Obama, it's called CHANGE!

Hope and higher taxes don't create jobs!
Obama policies kill jobs!
 
More Obama's Chickens Come Home to Roost:

Jan 9, 2010

Home prices, of course, are variable and depend on many factors, each of which are difficult to predict. Still, average home prices will drop by 7.9% nationwide in 2010, according to Moody's Economy.com.

I don't need to add that this indicates home owners will
lose wealth nationwide, likely leading to less consumer spending and more job losses.
It's called CHANGE! Obama's CHANGE!
 
"In recent months President Obama has pressured banks to increase lending to small businesses in order to spur job growth. Now, a long-awaited program approved in the stimulus package last February is set to begin that could help make that happen by reassuring wary bankers with a new approach.

For the first time, the Small Business Administration will guarantee up to $3 billion in pools of banks' 504 loans sold into the secondary market. That way, if borrowers fail to pay, investors who bought the loans would be made whole by the government. The SBA expects the program to start soon but doesn't have a firm date, according to spokeswoman Hayley Matz. 504 loans give small businesses favorable financing to invest in fixed assets like property or machinery."

It's called CHANGE! Obama's CHANGE!
 
"U.S. stocks advanced, sending the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index to the biggest weekly gain in two months, as the nation’s manufacturing increased more than forecasthttp://www.businessweek.com/news/20...in-two-months-as-factory-orders-increase.html and metal and oil prices surged.

Boeing Co., Bank of America Corp. and General Electric Co. added more than 9.7 percent this week after the Institute for Supply Management’s factory index rose to the highest level in more than three years and futures trading showed lower odds of a Federal Reserve interest-rate boost. Banks rallied after analysts at Morgan Stanley said commercial real-estate losses won’t be a major drag on the economy.

The S&P 500 reversed its retreat yesterday after United Parcel Service Inc., the world’s largest package-delivery company, said fourth-quarter profit beat its forecast and Alcoa Inc. climbed to the highest price since October 2008.

Alcoa, the biggest U.S. aluminum producer, reports quarterly results on Jan. 11. Intel Corp. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. are also among the five S&P 500 companies scheduled to release quarterly results next week. Combined profit for S&P 500 companies is forecast to increase in the fourth quarter, the first rise since 2007, according to analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.

Boeing, Bank of America and GE climbed the most in the Dow average this week.'

It's called CHANGE! Obama's CHANGE!
 
I really appreciate the way in which ASUR now posts more 'snippets of his articles with no LINKS' so that we can't read them and find his ERRORS in interpretations...:cool:

WORKS FOR HIM...I'll just ASSume that he's just posting more lies and has no real factual source ;)
 
Not only are jobs disappearing, but the replacement jobs that do exist pay much less!

In the government's data, a job is a job. More jobs might point to a growing economy.
But to people who used to earn $60,000, a new $40,000 job means they'll spend less — and contribute less to the recovery.

"In most cases, it means a subdued expansion, for sure," said Marisa Di Natale, director at Moody's Economy.com.

Obama's CHANGE is nothing to smile about!

There is no recovery, just
fewer jobs and lower paying jobs at that!

The unemployment estimate is actually less than predicted. And all other indicators are up!

Holiday season was up 3.6% in fact.

Add to that the fact the a boost in employment ALWAYS TRAILS a recovery and it's clear that President Obama has been the one in charge as The Bush Recession (worst economic downturn since The Great Depression) finally ended.

And President Obama did this while also ending TORTURE and establishing a sweeping Health Insurance Reform package to help the American people! Love it!!!

Economic recovery was going to happen regardless. Putting that aside, if the President truly believes we are on the mend, why can we not end the stimulus, and why are they pushing for billions more to be spent in a "jobs bill", and why are we still pushing "green jobs" to aide our recovery?

If we are recovering, let the private sector take back over, why continue to demand all this government intervention?

"The star attraction Monday morning at the North American International Auto Show was not the latest engine or model.

It was the spectacle of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) and Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis, as well as a trail of other Washington officials, touring the show.

Encircled by boom mikes and cameras, the group from Washington tried plugging in the new Chevy Volt, the electric car from General Motors. They reviewed Chrysler's new power trains. They got behind the wheel of the Ford Focus.

More than anything that was said or done, however, the tour and the attention it garnered reflected the new relationship between the industry and the government, which has invested more than $80 billion in propping it up."

Gee....maybe we have (finally) learned something from Old Europe.​
