It has proven correct, that the 400+ point bounce yesterday was the result of two events. First of all was in response to Mr. Greenspan's influence on the markets. For he guesstimated that the economy is headed to another recession later in '07 and early in '08. The reason he said this was because our economy has been so robust so many years following the 9/11 event.
According to other prominent economists from some powerful firms, he might be incorrect. But because he has so much influence on the markets for so long, that when he coughs, people listens or sells. I guess this was the case yesterday.
The other reason for the Shanghai Bounce was because of the China market. It is so volatile, having risen by 130 percent in '06, the world's best performance. To try and slow growth, China has threatened to impose a 20% tax on the dividends. This basically leading to a 10% sell off.
Then once the US markets caught wind of these actions, our traders on the floors of the markets followed suit. Leading to the massive correction.
There is not that much the US economy can do about the correction on the China markets. For it has been growing so large and so fast, that something like yesterday was going to happen. The correction is only going to be short lived.
The other factor that influenced the Shanghai Bounce, was some influence of Mr. Greenspan. It might be the result of a hiccup and/or sneeze in which the traders on the different exchanges mistaken for massive sell off.
In response, the Bush Administration and Mr. Bernanke (Greenspan's replacement) assured the traders that the economy is responding appropriately. For his influence has caused a ripple effect around the world.
There is certainly an annoyance factor there," said Brian Bethune, economist at Global Insight. "Why doesn't Greenspan go to Hawaii and play golf?"
(When I composed this entry, I have used some facts and other statements in an article Greenspan's clout "When He Speaks, investors Still Listen" and the "China's frenzy Tax Rumor Helped Dim China Stock Exuberance".

No problem, just a slight correction
According to Yahoo! Finance MarketWatch, the US stocks today plunged to its worst one day drop or 416 points, since 2001. This was basically in response to the economic cycle coming to an end. This was at least what I have read yesterday in the Yahoo! Finance Section of what Alan Greenspan has predicted.
Sure enough, during the past number of years the US economy has been rather bullish. Now I guess it is time for a little correction. Something in which will prevent some big alterations. At least the analysts and other financial forecasters could see this one coming.
This time around, I kind of doubt that any of the stock brokers and/or others well vested into the markets who are not going to be opening up their office window and take any flying lessons. Something in which I read happened following the October 13th 1987 collapsing 508 points. An event in which it took the US markets a little over 2 years to recover.
But whatever happens, you know those liberal armchair economists out there will attempt to try placing blame on the Bush administration. When this is something in which it could not have been avoided. It is a natural event. Something in which Mr. Greenspan, Milton Freedman and/or their other beer drinking economist friends could have done anything about it.
In process giving those flaming liberals attempts to build creditability in their goal of trying to make Mr Bush and his administration look bad. Something in which it would have not backing, but it still would make them feel better.

My Tax Plan
MY TAXPLAN SONG
Let me tell you how it should be
Learn how to avoid paying so much
‘Cause it’s my tax plan
Yeah, it’s my tax plan
The old is obsolete
And mine is real sweet
‘Cause it’s my tax plan
Yahoo!!, I am a Republican
Should fifteen percent appears too much
Be thankful, the IRS does not take it all
‘Cause it’s my tax plan
Yeah, it’s my tax plan
If you sell some shares, they’ll tax your capital gains
If you earn an income, they’ll tax your gains
If you receive a gift, they will take a percentage
If you win some money, they will want their share
My tax plan!!!!!!!
‘Cause it’s my tax plan
Yeah, it’s my tax plan
Don’t ask them what they want it for
Especially if you don’t want to pay some more
‘Cause it’s my tax plan
Yeah, it’s my tax plan
Now by following my writings, you can learn to avoid those audits.
And do it right the first time
‘Cause it’s my tax plan
Yeah, it’s my tax plan
And you will learn how to decrease the amount you pay the feds.
(Fine writing) The contents of My Tax Plan song are based upon the assumption that all my numbers add up. This is not only a political promise, but also something my plan hopes to accomplish.
The music that will be used to back it up is that of "Tax Man" by the Beatles. Hopefully this does not get me into any more trouble by Michael Jackson or whoever owns the copy rights to their music.

What a Waste!!!!
The Portland Metro Area and even Oregon itself, needs to come up with a policy to deal with the stupid and/or frivulous law suits. These are ones in which are costing the taxpaying people, who are stuck with the bill, with an unnecessary expense.
If these were delt with in advanced, then it would free up our government to deal with what is more important to the taxpayers. These would then free up many of the police and other law enforcement agencies. Then empty the different jail houses and etc.
Sure to combat this there are all of those watchdogs and others out there. These are nothing to be bothered with. It should not be all of that big of a deal.

Businesses in NW Portland

Businesses in NW Portland
Each year I find it interesting watching business in the first couple of months struggle to stay in business. I know a lot of it depends upon location, location and location. But a lot of it also depends upon their basic business model. Up here in the NW Portland near 21st and 23rd, it was also effected, but not as much as I predicted. With those with a good business model closing their doors and moving down to the Pearl District. It is there with the ever-increasing population density, the condos spurting out of the ground, the increase number of condos a rising out of the ground and etc.In the process stealing the market share of individuals who shopped on the 23rd, are now in the Pearl. I guess you can just call it competition.Living up here in the NW Portland is in my opinion one of the best places in Portland to operate a small business. Here there are all of the amenities a small business owner needs in order to enjoy the successes of it's operation. These characteristics are a dense population, good public transportation and an increased number of living situations to be available for growth. Up here in the NW Portland has often been noted as having the most dense population this side of the Mississippi River and north of San Fransico. All of this is thanks to all of the apartment buildings and condo minimum buildings growing up out of the ground. These qualifications would probably apply more likely to the 21st and 23rd areas.It was effected, but not as much as I predicted. With those with a good business model closing their doors and moving down to the Pearl District. It is there with the ever-increasing population density, the condos spurting out of the ground, the increase number of condos a rising out of the ground and etc.This is in large part thanks to all of the Californian moving up here to the Portland Metro area. In the process creating a need for more dense population to save on the need for a majority of individuals who commute to work. Creating an environment in which with a need of larger businesses.In the process with the creation of places for individuals to live, there needs to be a good quality of public transportation. This is needed so the residences of these parts can be able to get to the necessary destinations.%2

Building my retirement
I am now as busy as ever working on my retirement. For when I get to that age that I can no longer remain employed, I do not anticipate being able to rely on the Social Insecurity Funds to be there to assist my in paying my bills.
Sure this account and/or program was created by the Rockefeller Republicans. It was done by a committee in 1936 that was on the Rockefeller and/or Standard Oil payroll. But still it was enacted into law during FDR terms of office, so there for the public think it was the workings of a bunch of liberals.
From what I have heard and read, John D Rockefeller did this in response to having to lay people off after working for one of his leomade stands. Then they would suffer because they failed to save enough to provide themselves a safety net.
By enacting this works, the federal government takes out a very small percentage of their hard earned incomes and invested it. Very similar to the way he speculated on many of the different petroleum and other future markets. Then they can cash in on it when these individuals finally do retire.
But they would only receive the amount in which is based upon the percentage they made during their working days. UNDER CONSTRUCTION
