Too Big To Fail Banks Certainly Have Not! / Companies / Banksters
By: Sy_Harding
Fair warning – the following may make you sick.
This week the Federal Reserve of St. Louis released a report estimating that Americans on average have recovered only 45% of the wealth they lost during the recession and bear market in stocks. The report notes that much of the recovery in ‘overall’ wealth is thanks to the stock market’s recovery to its previous peaks, and thus is concentrated in the holdings of wealthy families. The report concludes that, “Considering the uneven recovery of wealth across households, claims that the financial damage of the crisis and recession has largely been repaired are not justified.”

This Is What Real Stock Market Bubbles Look Like / Companies / Liquidity Bubble
By: Charles_Carnevale
With the stock market currently doing so well, numerous articles are popping up playing the bubble card. Personally, I don’t believe we are anywhere near bubble levels for equities, at least in the general sense. I do think there are certain stocks that are currently overvalued, but very few that I would describe as dangerously so. To me, the true definition of a bubble is when prices have become so ludicrously high, that the dangers of a catastrophic loss large enough to be considered almost permanent become imminent or at least quite obvious.
Starting in calendar year 1999 and then peaking in calendar year 2000, we saw a true bubble emerge and inevitably burst in technology stocks. The following F.A.S.T. Graphs™ on three prominent technology stalwarts, Oracle Corp (ORCL), Cisco Systems Inc (CSCO) and finally EMC Corp (EMC) provide quintessential examples of a true bubble. To clarify what they are depicting, we see the stock price closely correlate and track earnings both before and after the bubbles. However, during the bubble periods we see clear and undeniable insane valuation that fundamentals do not justify.

By: Money_Morning
Greg Madison writes: The American Society of Civil Engineers has just released its annual Report Card for America's Infrastructure, which grades several critical areas: water and environment, transportation, public facilities, and energy.
And that report card is nothing we'd like to take home to Mom and Dad, moving as it has from a D to a D+ over the last four years. In short, there remains a lot of room for improvement.

U.S. Economy Getting Better; Should You Jump into Cyclical Stocks? / Companies / Investing 2013
By: DailyGainsLetter
Moe Zulfiqar writes: As the risks in the stock market increase, investors most often run towards defensive stocks. The main reason behind this phenomenon is that companies that are considered defensive provide investors with a stream of dividends, even when the markets, as a whole, crumble. They are generally strong players in their industry, with healthy market shares and stable earnings year-over-year.
