quote

In the 20th century, the United States endured two world wars and other traumatic and expensive military conflicts; the Depression; a dozen or so recessions and financial panics; oil shocks; a flu epidemic; and the resignation of a disgraced president. Yet the Dow rose from 66 to 27000

Economist Stephanie Pomboy said she believes the stock market is in a bubble because economic growth will not live up to expectations and because any federal stimulus from the president , if it even comes to be, will be mostly canceled out by tax increases and spending cuts on the state and local level.

more stock stuff

jpr: My guide for buy/sell stocks. Find a link that gives stock volume & stock price that updates in real time.Volume peaks can drive the  stock $$ up or down. If there are more spikes up over time  then over stock $$ is up and vice versa for  stock  prices  falling. When the number of spikes up equal (ruffly) the number of spikes down the stock price is stable as is the case for the bottom of a dip or  top of a run up in $$ value.I buy/sell appropriately on the stable price. Its not the only guide but it is a sound guide.

stock talk

My son and I play at trading stocks ( getting more serious as $$ adds up) . Some tips we have used to make some cash.

The upper chart is half year for GOOG , and  the lower is  three (3) year range for GSOL. stock values

GOOG likes to double dip over 2-3 week period.

GSOL shows a dispersive function with price dip before its 4th quarter earnings report then a price jump immediately  after wards ( time period 3-4 weeks.)

The Mississippi Land Bubble

John Law was a Scot and economist before his time. he established the first central bank (France) that issued paper money.

Law exaggerated the wealth of Louisiana with an effective marketing scheme, which led to wild speculation on the shares of the company in 1719. The scheme was to have the success of the Mississippi Company combine investor fervor and the wealth of its Louisiana prospects into a sustainable joint-trading company. The popularity of company shares were such that they sparked a need for more paper bank notes, and when shares generated profits, the investors were paid out in paper bank notes.

In 1720, the bank and company were united and Law was appointed Controller General of Finances to attract capital. Law's pioneering note-issuing bank was successful until the French government was forced to admit that the number of paper notes being issued by the Banque Royale were not equal to the amount of metal coinage it held.
The "bubble" burst at the end of 1720, when opponents of the financier attempted en masse to convert their notes into precious metal, forcing the bank to stop payment on its paper notes. By the end of 1720, Law was dismissed from his positions by Philippe d'Orléans, regent of France for Louis XV. Law then fled France for Belgium.
