Server Troubles 2.0

The Man:
The Machine is still having some technical difficulties... Looks like version 8.3 is a little too hot for it. In the meantime, have a great weekend! The Machine has also been moved to a new home - someplace much cooler so that it doesn't overheat again. Hopefully this will solve some of the problems.

Server Crashed

The Man:
So The Machine crashed sometime late last night before it could send out the nightly report on CY and SAY. Sorry for the delay - didn't get to troubleshoot it until this evening. Looks like my scanning code overtaxed the server and it choked. The Machine is up and running again, albeit clocked at a slower bus speed to improve reliability.

SAY posted a BUY at Price: 24.6625
CY posted a WAIT at Price: 30.24

Once bitten, twice dead

The Man:

There are rumors that the Fed are considering once again lowering interest rates in order to shore up the economy. These rumors are probably knee-jerk reactions by the market hoping that by hoping it will come true.

This will mean fresh highs in Oil and gold as the U.S. Dollar declines in value. This is exactly what happens when the Fed devalues the U.S. Dollar. If a company decides to issue more stock, they are able to raise more money by selling their diluted shares near or at the value of the pre-diluted share price, because the investors are not usually aware of the dilution until the next quaterly report.

Enter the Fed, who has done this before. Other nations like China and Japan have taken the brunt of the dilution by buying U.S. Bonds. This is not going to happen again, as each respective country has already indicated they are "stuffed to the gills" with U.S. Bonds.

This is not going to work again. Maybe wait 20 years when everyone is gullible again.

Also, given that 8% of the U.S. Population lives in CA, and given that most of CA's houses are double or triple that of the nation, you can expect that roughly a third of the mortgages in dollar value were made in CA. Given that the jumbo loan rate is still at 8% or higher for prime customers due to the subprime meltdown, don't expect that the primary domestic stimulus will restart with any drop in Interest Rates. Recession is here to stay.

Second Father/Son Essay

The Man:

The second father and son essay entitled "Asset Allocation" has been published.!!! It can be found at http://www.wcoretech.com/ under the heading Father and Son.

One of the highlights is the publication of a cash flow calculator that helps to show you how your current spending choices affect your future financial situation 5 years down the line. That calculator can be found in the "Resources" section of the site.

More later. Happy New Year!
