OPINION

The January Market

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

There seems to be a lot of bad news in the market on a macro sense. I have seen some articles where Greece is near total collapse. The Euro situation doesn’t look good. In America, Intrade has Obama getting a second term which is bearish. More slow growth/no growth policy. China looks to be struggling.

Technical indicators say the market is a little over extended to the upside. There are gaps below the market that should be filled. Goldman Sachs($GS) this morning said to get short US Treasuries.

The memo from Larry Summers to Obama on stimulus has gone viral. Greg Mankiw was the economist that was skeptical. Here is the memo on his skepticism. Note the date.

This is why people think there is a bubble in entrepreneurship. The other reason is that Obama has created this big apparatus called Start Up America and there is government money flowing into it. Where there is government money, there is you know what.

Apple($AAPL) has $97 billion in cash. That’s like one day of social security payments. (kidding)

USPS needs to cut jobs. Or, like the whole department and privatize it.
