Dow’s (DJI) Earnings Slump Will Lead to More Inflationary Policies
Financial charts can generally look good or bad. But sometimes, one comes along that is downright ugly. The Rude Awakening’s Joel Bowman says the earnings chart for the Dow Jones Industrial Average index (.DJI) is particularly sore on the eyes. Earnings were negative in Q208, for the first time ever, giving the index a price-to-earnings ratio of nil. Such losses will heighten deflationary fears, encouraging the government to crank up its inflationary policy. More from Joel…
Dow’s Price-to-Earnings Ratio Is Now Nil
In Q2 2008 - for the first time ever - the Dow Jones Industrial Average posted quarterly losses instead of earnings. The Dow’s price-to-earnings ratio is now listed as “Nil,” leaving Wall Street without its favorite valuation metric for blue chip companies, says Casey Research’s Doug Casey.
Korea’s Government Nixes Possible Lehman Bros. Bid
Shares of Lehman Bros. Holdings Inc. (LEH) deflated yesterday (Monday) after hopes of a bailout bid from a Korean bank dissipated.
Chinese Slowdown Could Prompt $58bn Stimulus Package
The Chinese economy is showing signs of a slowdown, says Jason Simpkins in Money Morning. And despite the hype of the Olympic games, the Shanghai Stock Exchange is tumbling.

Why the IPO Market Could Be Set to Explode
To the untrained eye, the IPO market looks calm. But there are three hidden pressures building up in the new-issues market, says Taipan Daily editor Justice Litle in conversation with hedge fund manager Cash McDash (a pseudonym, of course)…
Energy Sector Remains a Global Investing Wild Card
Although consumers and businesses have gotten a bit of a reprieve at the gas pump as of late, says William Patalon in Money Morning, the escalation in oil prices we’ve seen over the past year has led to some major changes in overall consumer behavior. Many car-owners have dumped their gas-guzzling pickup trucks and SUVs at the nearest used-car lot and used the proceeds to buy some gas-sipping rides.
The Big ‘What If?’
More of an exploration instead of predictions…turns out American homeowners are not ‘upside-down’ - they are simply ‘inside-out’. What if consumers, householders, investors, and businessmen all begin to downsize? What if the whole world began to slack off? What if China, India and other emerging markets don’t emerge as fast as we had hoped?…What if the finance industry and housing don’t ‘bounce back’?…and more what if’s.
Undeniably Bullish Indictors for Common US Stocks
As we’ve said here before, the US stock markets are extremely volatile right now.
Yesterday, US stocks, led by the financials, snapped back following two straight days of losses. Traders, it seems, are a confused bunch. They’re caught between declining crude oil prices and slowing global growth.
