Re: A site with predictive success similar to GD
For item #5, he says that he'll tell you the name of a stock that will go up as the stock market goes down. Does anyone know what stock he's referring to? John Hi, John - FDO, Family Dollar Stores, is a stock I have noticed that, from my point of view, has a specific correlation to the SPY. I did t...

CNBC Article: Banks Flooded With Cash
Today there is an article on CNBC.com “In Cautious Times, Banks Flooded With Cash” and it seems to confirm Richard Koo's statements that banks, businesses, and people are paying down debt. http://www.cnbc.com/id/45027309 It reminds me of the April 2011 Business Insider's article on Koo saying, "this...

Re: 5-Feb-11 News -- Food prices surge +3.4% in January
What about hydroponics to help alleviate the food crisis? On Wall Street there is such interest in solar to help alleviate the energy crisis, but I don't hear much (anything, actually) about hydroponics or aeroponics. Maybe there is not a viable system yet that produces big enough margins for invest...

Re: 3-Sep-10 News -- Expert Jeremy Siegel makes no sense
He defended quantitative easing in the case of Japan: "I think we would get bang for the buck. I think QE or quantitative easing got a bad rap - people say it failed in Japan. The truth of the matter is it really didn't fail in Japan - they planned to actually stop, after a given period. It did sto...

Re: 1-Sep-10 News -- Amsterdam arrests highlight Yemen confusion
China is supposed to be a wealthy nation, but the Moody's ratings agency is expressing concern that China is borrowing a great deal of money (presumably for its stimulus and bailout programs) and going into debt. As I've said, China's economy is in even more trouble than America's economy, and by t...

Re: 23-Aug-10 News -- China is ready for war
Hi, John - When you say, "the Pentagon report appears to recognize the issue" are you referring to generational changes -- that they recognize the issue of generational dynamics? Here's the section where I read that quote. And that's the second problem. China has a long history of massive nationwide...

Re: Auto Wave
This morning I received a lengthy message from an online correspondent: I'm not familiar with the Auto Wave study, or why it's significant that autowaves have been completed. Does anyone have any experience with this? John Hi, John, AutoWave is a study provided by Qcharts Plus stock market technica...

Re: 17-May-10 News -- Markets open Monday amid high tension
It seems to me that every person has a point of view shaped by their experience of the world and no one is unbiased. I don't expect anyone to be unbiased. Reading many varying viewpoints is important to me -- including the Generational Dynamics website by John Xenakis, which is on my “must read ever...

Re: 17-Apr-10 News -- Goldman Sachs is accused of fraud
Once again, John, I thank you for writing a few understandable sentences to concisely state the situation as you see it -- specifically, Goldman Sachs. On Friday, as I listened to CNBC, it seemed like there was an unwillingness to believe that GS was at fault -- maybe they were going with "innocent ...

Re: Thanks, John
Hi, John - When I wrote what I did about the possibility of your work causing an alteration in our trajectory, it was influenced by something I read recently about the Lorenz attractor and how a small change can make a huge difference. Your response got me wondering why you are so adamant that "peop...
