    The news of Bernard Madoff’s $50 billion fraud has hit the investor/401(k) class as nothing else — not the fall of Lehman Brothers, not the death of Bear Stearns, nor the string of insolvency announcements of one household name after another. Madoff is the blow that did it.
    Lesser explosions connected with Madoff are expected. His story that (…)

    “I am more concerned with the return of my money than the return on my money.”– Mark Twain
    In the last two weeks, two federal interest rates hit all-time record lows. On December 16, the market was taken by surprise when Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke lowered the federal funds rate (the interest banks pay to borrow the reserves they need to meet their reserve (…)

    London Banker: "The market has failed, and officialdom is perpetuating that failure."
    By Mike Whitney
    December 18, 2008 "Information Clearinghouse" --- Ever since the two Bear Stearns hedge funds defaulted 17 months ago triggering a global financial crisis, the Federal Reserve has been busy putting out one fire after another. Fed chief Ben Bernanke has slashed interest rates to .25 percent, handed out billions in emergency funding to teetering insurance companies and mortgage lenders, (…)

    With the waves of destruction brought about by the Global Financial Meltdown there comes a defining moment of obligatory reflection. If such disaster has been visited upon the Globe, what lessons can be learned to dismantle the mechanism that brought it about in the first place?
    The remedies proposed by Governments the world over are not working as every real economic indicator confirms. The eternal (…)

    Through serendipity I received a four-page, color brochure in the mail the other day. Online Auction Due To Plant Closure, 2 Day Auction of Over 700 Lots of Textile & Plant Support Equipment. I thought it odd that I should receive this in the mail, but maybe someone thought I might be in the market to open my own textile mill, or perhaps, like the outsourcing companies, they have to post the jobs locally first.
    Anyone out there looking to open a textile mill? I (…)

    Collapse of Pension Funds: The End of Retirement?
    by Shamus Cooke
    Global Research, December 13, 2008
    Unless things change fast, human history will show that the phenomenon of “retirement” was limited to one generation. After World War II, when European and Japanese economies stood in tatters, American capitalism could fulfill “the American dream,” since there was little foreign competition to speak of. For the first time ever, workers were promised that — after working thirty or so (…)

    Excess Debt and Deflation = Depression
    by Stephen Lendman Global Research, December 12, 2008
    Irving Fisher (1867 - 1947) was perhaps the most noted economist of his day. The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics calls him "one of America’s greatest mathematical economists and one of" its clearest writers. He earned special acclaim for his work on monetary and statistical theory, policy, index numbers, econometrics, and the distinction between real and nominal interest rates.
    He’s also (…)
