According to Dr. Laffer, Chief Economists to presidents, the good news is that, "The S&P 500 today in real terms, deflated by the price level, is as low or lower than it was in 1998.

There are going to be a ton of good deals soon.

"Why Is This Recession Not Gonna Be So Bad?"

28 Apr 2008 14:00:01 GMT

Dr. Laffer says: "Well for Texas it won't feel all that bad. You've got a lot of housing problems, but Texas, being a no-income-tax state, will be the first to recover and the last to fall into the recession. You'll see things like construction declining, then you'll see the traded goods industries, like exports and imports, expanding like mad because you have the weak dollar and you have the substitution into those production areas. Obviously, you're gonna get some increase in unemployment and you're gonna get some decline in asset values, but you will get a lot of it offset by export, by import subsets and other industries.

"The Clueless Are Leading the Blindfolded" into an Economic Winter

24 Apr 2008 14:00:01 GMT

The truth is that there is less money around, sales are down, people are worried, and some are losing jobs because the stock prices finally got so high that buyers stopped buying. The market goes through cycles. Companies like General Electric (Fairfield, Connecticut) are saying that although the economy is down and no one is buying anything, they are doing just fine. Right up until the day that the orders are canceled and payments are missed. Then, they and the clueless sell-side analysts are forced to adjust their forecasts downward.

How to Profit in this Long-Term, Secular Bull Market in Water and Soft Commodities

22 Apr 2008 15:00:01 GMT

With millions more people worldwide joining the middle class - who all strangely enough want to eat and drink - there are going to be inevitable shortages in the soft commodities (those that are grown, rather than mined). There are mandates on ethanol driving up corn. You have people who are eating more meat and require more grain, which helps Monsanto (St. Louis, Missouri), Potash (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan), Market Vectors-Agribusiness ETF, and PowerShares DB Agriculture ETF. Although these agri-business stocks and funds get ahead of themselves sometimes and can be volatile, the global population foundation is still there, and there's nothing anybody can do to slow down the demand.

Don’t Believe The News Medias’ Spin! Tax Cuts Actually Increase Revenues.

17 Apr 2008 14:00:01 GMT

Republican Senator John McCain called for a summer-long suspension of the federal gasoline tax and several tax cuts to stem the public's pain from a troubled economy. He urged Congress to institute a "gas-tax holiday" by suspending the 18.4 cent federal gas tax and 24.4 cent diesel tax from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The AP reported that by some estimates, the government would lose about $10 billion in revenue. But Daniel Frishberg, BizRadio’s MoneyMan refutes the whole idea that Mr. McCain’s temporary tax suspension would cost the government any revenue at all in the long run!

Mr. Smith says "green" power technology is only in the "first inning" in the U.S. as we are 1) finally approaching grid parity in 2010-11 where solar energy and coal plants will have equivalent costs per watt-hour and 2) the whole world is going to carbon credits, which will turbo-charge this investment sector.

"Whoosh Down" or a "Whack" -- Look Out, as the Stock Market Will Hit You with Both

15 Apr 2008 14:00:01 GMT

Any bad news could spook investors and cause a sudden, highly motivated rush to sell, which, without interested buyers, will result in a sharp drop in stock prices. This is Mr. Frishberg's "whack," and he believes it's coming and will hit investors upside the head -- like walking into a sign post. We've already been whacked a bunch of times, and Mr. Frishberg thinks there are definitely more coming until buyers are more motivated to buy and sellers stop rushing to sell at every little rally.

TV's So-Called Experts' Eulogy for the Dollar Is Plain Wrong

11 Apr 2008 14:00:01 GMT

TV's so-called experts keep predicting that the dollar will continue down the same path as before because that's all they do: predict that what's happening will just continue. But Daniel Frishberg, BizRadio's MoneyMan, rectifies this foolish thinking with an analogy. About 99% of the time we are driving straight ahead. Only 1% of the time we are turning, but it's the small turns that determine where you end up. The where and when of the turns are the big deal.

Will the Stock Markets Predict Mankind's Next Great Turning Point?

Don't Believe Financial Market "Experts" on TV and End Up Under a Falling Piano

10 Apr 2008 16:00:01 GMT

In the last two to three weeks, many experts who had negative market outlooks have suddenly changed opinions and have turned very positive in the market. They are calling this a "Tradable Bottom" with nothing but blue skies ahead of us! But according to BizRadio's Daniel Frishberg and Karl Eggerss, too many have switched sides with too little measurable reason. Maybe they've already bought -- and dearly want us to follow suit?

Foreigners Own 45% of U.S. Bonds -- What Happens if They Sell All at Once?

9 Apr 2008 16:00:01 GMT

We've "borrowed" a ton of money from foreign investors by selling them government bonds. What would happen to us and our economy if they decided to dump their Treasury Bonds all at once? Asians own 30% of our bonds. Have we given the Chinese government an economic "shotgun" and is their finger near the trigger?

Is the Market Baiting and Battering Weary Investors?

8 Apr 2008 16:00:01 GMT

Daniel Frishberg, BizRadio's outspoken MoneyMan, describes his bad feelings about our volatile sideways/down-trending market's recent history of building us up, showing us a few days of rallies, making us feel inordinately happy -- just before taking us down like a rock, yet again.

Warning: For Fools Rushing Back into the Market, See Dan Frishberg's "Crazy Investor's Indicator" First

4 Apr 2008 16:00:01 GMT

Investor happiness has come on so fast -- almost instantly after one good rally. But is this rush to buy stocks premature and overly aggressive? A bad case of wishful thinking? "Yes!" says Daniel Frishberg, BizRadio's MoneyMan. This cautionary advice is not based on his opinion, but rather on the measurements of the emotional level of the market's most manic and "crazy" investors. A word of warning: Mr. Frishberg's highly accurate emotion-based indicator is counterintuitive. When emotions are at the bottom, it's time to get ready to buy. When happiness is at its peak, it's time to think about selling -- fast!
