Aliye na macho?

I urge U strongly to take a keen interest in what makes the market (economic fundamentals) and less of the mkt itself OTW utaungua and U won't know why & how. I am monitoring at ur CPI, PPI, GDP, Non-farm, jobless claims, new & continuing, slow private investment (hence the avalanche in SSA and limited job growth in US) and I think there is major downside along the road. Ur politicians are just dicking around about implementing fiscal responsiblty, but I undrstand it will wait till after elections, then the pain ought to start. So i'll wait. Gosh! Even Bernanke admitted that US unemployment is a "national crisis" #OCCUPYWALLSTREET[/quote] CPI figures are out every month, so unasema utaziangalia for the next 6 years ? By the way the mayweather stocks are not really dependent on these figures. Walmart, McDonald's, Coke usually weather the storm unless an industry specific calamity hits them, so figures like CPI dont really matter unless you are a hedge fund manager handling billions and the slightest change affects your portofolio adversely. On jobless claims, they are not really an accurate figure because the gava does not count people who have given up hope and stopped looking for a job. On slow private investment, the truth is Americans will never give up on their country, they might hold onto cash until the volatility subsides, but they will always give priority to investing in their country. About the politicians and the budget, truth is the US will not default on its debt, those were just political games, it is afterall election season. Republicans want Obama to fail by any means, thus they play these games then at the last minute, they vote to extend afterall, this gives them political muscle. Though the US has defaulted in the past, and under Reagan the debt ceiling was raised numerous times. In summary, its all smoke and mirrors

Sawa you've been warned, utashangaa. Monday the earnings report start streaming in, October should be red!!

Good. Look at the MNCs who do segment reporting and see what story their Western mkts tell.

Be real, those companies have been in the US for decades minting profit, they just recently expanded into Emerging markets, and yes with the West economy cooling off, the emerging markets have held them up. So are you saying without emerging markets, those companies may become obsolete? The problem is people are unfairly comapring the US during its tough times to emerging markets during their boom times, apples and oranges. And I thought we were talking about SSA which is a frontier not emerging market, wacha mzaha.
