This week, Scott discusses what the next cliff is that the economy and the stock market could fall of of in 2010.
Apparently, it sounds like President Obama was sitting in on this show making additional comments to Scott. See what he also has to say.
NOTE: The sound clip enters into the middle of a conversation Scott and I were having about the books of Harry S. Dent Jr. Sorry for the lack of intro there.

What Has Changed on Wall Street Since the Banking Crisis?
CLICK HERE to listen to the show!
MP3 File
Sure seems like we have a new Bull Market on Wall Street today! Has it all been fixed since the Banking Crisis of 2008-09, or is this really a Bear Market rally? That is THE most CRUCIAL QUESTION investors should be asking today.
In this show we take a look at some hard facts. The Good Facts: that consumer confidence is rising, China is rebounding, and companies are increasing their stockpiles to sell again...and the Bad Facts: that by summer of 2010 48% of all U.S. home mortgages will be based on negative equity and commercial mortgage defaults are just beginning in earnest.
With all the deficit the government has created to mitigate the last banking crisis, can we withstand another?

Housing Prices Down, Stocks Up...No, they're down... No, they're up...
I'm not even going to read the whole articles. I can get the drift. And I only care about the big picture, anyway. Two articles posted under News Section on my website today:
What's interesting is how the good news gets accompanied by the bad news, and the meaning gets lost in between. The bad news in the Bernanke article is that stocks fell as a result of Bernanke's talk! Why would stocks fall when the Fed says the economy is so strong??
They fell because when the economy is strong, the Fed keeps interest rates high. Why? Because if money was super-cheap, people would build business and commerce on easy borrowed money so fast, that the economy would then over-heat. The danger in an overheated economy is that prices begin to rise. (Inflation. I'll explain that connection in another blog.) Inflation out of control sends the whole house of cards tumbling.
So, while some sectors like real estate have been waiting for interest rates to come down, it ain't gonna happen for a while now. Good news, bad news. The message? Stocks are tumbling momentarily because some people want interest rates down and they're not happy. But interest rates are staying high because the economy is hot right now - and overall that's good for stocks, if a little rough for real estate.
Don't worry, it'll shift sometime later up the road. The two markets tend to see-saw each other. Right now it's stocks' day in the sun.
