The duration required to enable the auto adjustment for achieving the new equilibrium is going to be very painful. That is the reason called for government intervention to shortern the correction period.<BR/><BR/>However, i'm rather pessimistic of the recovery judging from the measures taken by the gov. in us & europe for addressing the current problems for the following reasons:<BR/><BR/>i) We have entering liquidity trap. Any further drop in interest will not boost up demand. <BR/><BR/>ii) The political rescue of chosen business entities has weaken the mechanism in auto-adjustment. Instead of letting go mismanaged, non effcient organizations (reduce the supply)the rescue efforts will prolong the depression. <BR/><BR/>iii) The rescue plan is funded by printing new money that will add complexities to the already vulnerable of finnacial system. <BR/><BR/>iv) The measures taken did not addressing the fundamental issues of unsustainable development of excessive consumer spending in the west. By the same token, the development model of export orientated in the east will be unsustanable upon the economy meltdown in the west. Thus, the conventional financial tools created will be less effective <BR/>for overcoming the current issues.<BR/><BR/>As for individual...not much can be done except realign yr earning-spending-saving ratio to the conservative side. <BR/><BR/>Mentally, prepare for the worse to come.<BR/><BR/>Good day.Datukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07354574631891772131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183714.post-25599713662823734942008-11-12T07:34:00.000+08:002008-11-12T07:34:00.000+08:00tell me, how do you source for all these photos? i...tell me, how do you source for all these photos? i want them on my blog too!!!DanielXXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06174609598429972512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183714.post-51829452626360106972008-11-12T06:57:00.000+08:002008-11-12T06:57:00.000+08:00The unions wil take the beating down from Obama (D...The unions wil take the beating down from Obama (Democrat) better than McCain or Bush (Republican) 'cos in the end, it still is a socialisation of the auto industry. much as the financial industry is now "owned" in part by the US govt.<BR/><BR/>The unions probably saw this coming as they would have had the research data on hand of the wage structures but .... union interest overrides everything else. And generally, the unions have the Democrats on their side as well. <BR/><BR/>Bottom line is that in the next 4 years of Obama's administration, the financial, auto, healthcare and tranportation industries may be controlled by govt.<BR/><BR/>All are too big to fall.Trashedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16253745273987433750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183714.post-3427704007221569952008-11-12T01:53:00.000+08:002008-11-12T01:53:00.000+08:00People are saying that America will not do *this*....People are saying that America will not do *this*.<BR/><BR/>But, IMHO, though controversial, it is defnitely the right thing to do:<BR/><BR/>America should nationalize General Motors.<BR/><BR/>A bailout would probably need to be at least USD50b in order to make any significant impact.<BR/><BR/>However, at current market levels, they could take up every single GM share, for under USD2billion. Actually, closer to 1.5b. Even giving a premium to shareholders, it shouldn't cost more than say, 3billion.<BR/><BR/>The MUCH cheaper option and MUCH more beneficial to Detroit's employment and production figures.Jasonred79https://www.blogger.com/profile/11003115192439470320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183714.post-51759237179270131772008-11-12T00:55:00.001+08:002008-11-12T00:55:00.001+08:00another bear trend. . ..maybe fed will cut another...another bear trend. . ..<BR/>maybe fed will cut another rate for help market. . .before gov US give a leg to help GE. . ..<BR/><BR/>Mostly US gov will try to help before the effect spread to be a bigger.
