Manhattan Mansions Fall from the Sky - Barron's
Stable is doubtful, but dropping is highly likely in the decades and centuries to come.
Meanwhile, outsourcing is nothing new - not even in the USA. The Hamilton Watch Company was outsourcing it's military watch cases back in the 70's. Outsourcing is just easier now.
BTW, Americans have been at it for longer than that by voting directly with their wallets. Cars, TV's, stereos . . . the list is endless.

GM: Buyout Better than Bailout
Or can it be that the Fed is being asked to hand out money to 3 companies with zero credit rating? And was this not the cause of the housing bubble? Are we now going to see a "major company" bubble?
Puzzled.
Market Currents poll: Do buyers mount a late-afternoon rally, or are we headed for new intraday lows? Weigh-in in the comments.
"Buyers come out of the woodwork."
I did . . . . . this morning :-(

Why the Fed's Out of Control
Today's posts predict deflation, inflation, hyperinflation, anarchy - all convincingly presented as our certain future here in the good old U.S. of A.

The Dangers of Timing the Market
At 68 years old and being a diabetic, I don't have the luxury of putting my money for 20 years anywhere! Therefore, I am a very frequent trader, consciously timing individual investments, both stocks and commodities.
All I want is to beat about 1.5 % a month i.e. price inflation and taxes. Might even get there this week if stocks rise enough.

How Is Inflation Related to CPI?
While the Victorians were verbose and flowery in their prose, at least they did use full, grammatically correct, sentences and their meaning was, by and large, quite clear.
In modern times, we have to shorten everything down and use acronyms to the point of being meaningless to outsiders and to the point of ambiguity to insiders.
Don't even get me started on the disappearance of the hyphen ;-)

Renewable Energy Is at the Center of the Presidential Debate
We may have different views but the concensus is that it CAN be done and will be ultimately necessary. The only problem would appear to be is the government and they who control it (vested interests in the suppression of significant growth of alternative energy).
Great thread!

Renewable Energy Is at the Center of the Presidential Debate
A vigorous rebuttal indeed. A little knowledge can certainly be misleading. There is of course a place for alternative energy and we should do all of it, in fact about 20% of my portfolio is in GEX as we speak and 10% in an algaeic biodiesel Company. Another 10% sits in a Chinese wind turbine Co. But, with reference to your 80%: 80% of what?. By mid-centrury, crude oil and NG energy production might well be low enough to perhaps make the total provided by alternative energy close to your quoted percentage but the "American way of life" will be long gone, I reckon.
Makes me glad to be old and retired ;-)

Renewable Energy Is at the Center of the Presidential Debate
A post on Carpe Diem is against energy sufficiency on the basis that other people's oil is cheaper! Like, should we also be coffee independent by the same logic? I can't really buy such simplistic thinking. Doesn't the balance of trade and our economy come in there somewhere?
The potential for alternative energy in the USA is quite a small fraction of our total future use. We would gain as much, if not more, by simply increasing energy efficiency in buildings, vehicles, appliances, etc. by a surprisingly small percentage.
McCain is perhaps a little more realistic than Obama on the energy front. On the other hand, McCain is less convincing on his grasp of economics. Sad, isn't it?
Roll on the NAU ;-)
