    Does the author think they aren't trying to reinflate like crazy? And I do mean CRAZY. And the result will be an even bigger disaster, if such is possible. Reply

    According to Bloomberg, MOS forward PE is actually 2.89 after today's dismal decline, so there's your 3 PE target. I also own Dryships in the 20's, currently it's forward is 1.5PE, with a forward PEG of 0.02. That's not a typo. Fundamentals mean nothing right now, but they will someday. Reply

    275728 -- I think that you are missing my point. The point was to offer advice from the World's greatest investor. Rothschild's opinion on today's financial situation is not nearly as important to me =)

    I do thank you for taking the time to read this article...

    Good luck trying to rein it in once you reach your objective. It won't be much longer before people will realize that buying Treasury Bonds makes as much sense as lending on Subprime Option Arm. As long as they can roll the debt over and pay only interest we are fine, but when the truth sinks in the rollovers are going to stop. Reply

    The quote you attributed to Warren Buffet is actually from Baron Phillipe Rothschild. Do some homework for heaven's sake if you are trying to make yourself sound like you know what you're talking about. Reply

    You are trying to use logic in a market that is in a freefall panic mode. I wouldn't be surprised to see MOS P/e substancially lower. I own Dryships which now has a P/e of 1.3 Reply

    Hopefully this crisis taught all investors to ALWAYS have your protective exit strategy in place. Don't listen to those still trying to tell you to Buy&Hold. Its an outdated approach to markets where $3 Trillion is running through hedge funds unregulated. Have an intelligent exit strategy working for you at all times. One that is constantly adjusting to the stock's behavior and overall market conditions. STAY PROTECTED! Reply

    "Similarly, household debt as a percentage of disposable income (measured as income after taxes) grew from 89% to 127%."

    And THAT is exactly the problem!!! TOO DAMN MUCH TAXATION!! Cut the legs out from under the government -- it needs massive shrinkage. We need to cut it to the core, and return the bulk of THEIR OWN money to the people!!

    The overhead of the "big government" we have is far too high: it prevents the consumer-investor from being nimble, and constrains disposable income to a much smaller percentage of gross than it should be! This amounts to a high hurdle that the consumer (who is 2/3 of GDP) must jump over *before* being able to do discretionary spending. Since we are spoiled and have gotten used to "things"...w... have borrowed (excessively) in order to have them. Meanwhile the government burns our money.

    IT MUST STOP. We want and need back what IS OURS.

    "I mean, do you think you can get it for a P/E of 3 next week?"

    Heh. Actually...maybe! I mean, there's no longer any rationality in the market. Why not 3?     Reply

    It's encouraging to see that all the comments on this article indicate some sound economic understanding. It's very unfortunate the article does not.

    Mr. Hannon, if you've written this article without the benefit of having studied Murray N. Rothbard's book "America's Great Depression," shame on you for being irresponsible (or perhaps ignorant of the existence of that important volume). If you've written this article after having studied Murray N. Rothbard's book "America's Great Depression," shame on you for being dangerous.     Reply

    Your recommendations are insane. Let's reflate and turn the US into a banana republic. You recommend concentrating more economic power with the government with your Keynesian philosophy.

    The problem is that people like you believe the government should be involved in healthcare and even more involved in education. Government does not allocate capital efficiently. It mostly transfers wealth from those who create it to those who do not.

    All people are endowed with inalienable rights from our Creator. The equality in that comment does not mean that equality of outcome should be pursued. That is the pursuit of the lowest common denominator. That is the result of socialism (where the elite still gets the best treatment).

    Take education, which you site. We have massive bureaucracies on both the federal and state levels in a unionized monopoly. (Why does a monopoly need a union anyway?) We get an inferior product/service at high cost. In NJ, spending in the classroom would increase by more than $1 billion if 65% of each education dollar was spent in the classroom. The money is feeds worthless bureaucrats. Test scores in developed countries show this.

    If we truly wanted to help kids, and especially kids from low income families, we would inject competition. Vouchers and charter/magnet schools would work.

    Look at socialized medicine systems. Where do people under socialized medical systems go if they can afford it when they need care? The US.

    The subprime debacle has government interference in free markets as its root cause. This would not have happened without the Community Reinvestment Act and the GSEs (Fannie and Freddie).

    As Ozzy43 notes, the result will be the ultimate destruction of the USD and American capitalism.

    Agree Smarty, this Titanic has a tiny rudder. All should be escaping in the lifeboats, there are enough to go around but only a few are given access. This is an old historic tale of cause and effect, those in power take from the weak but not powerless little guy, the multitudes of little guys eventually revolt or the nation is conquered and life goes on. I believe this time there will be serious geopolitical consequences, we are after all, in the nuclear age.

    It feels strange, because it almost feels as though a few at the top knew America was fast becoming bankrupt but instead of standing up and doing what was right, squeezed another couple of rounds of wealth on top of it. This 'meaness' resembles 1873 hardship created from railroad stock, government and banking corruption then 1929, although today seems similar to 1929 with the excess leverage. Worst of both worlds perhaps. As stated in the past, the citizenship will learn the who's who of the corrupt in Washington and clean house. Four years of pain, voter revolution in 2012 and beginning of the next Bull market in 2013 has been my forecast for several months now.     Reply

    Is the author angling for a job as FED Secretary?

    No need for further comments as ozzy covered all the salient points.

    End Keynesianism, End the FED, resume the gold standard. We'll rebuild with whatever is left over after that.

    The fundamental problem is one of malinvestment, thanks to both the feds and the Fed along with the giant financials (or do I repeat myself?). Until this vast misallocation of capital is corrected - flushed out of the system - the system will remain ill. Increased government spending - more debt, more deficits, less purchasing power - will do nothing but to exacerbate the problem, and destroy the dollar in the process. More people need to learn Austrian economics, which predicted exactly this scenario, and which explains how to correct it. Too bad Keynesianism is apparently alive and well, and leading to policies which will destroy the USD as the world's reserve currency, and the US along with it. We cannot inflate our way out of this mess, this will only increase the pain of the eventual collapse when it finally occurs. Of course, that's not about to stop Helicopter Ben - the man who learned all of the wrong lessons about Great Depression 1 - from trying. Reply

    Don't anyone believe that this was a blunder that caught investment managers by surprize, bull cr*p.

    They all got millions of years end bonuses, for all the bad loans they gave out so we and the govt that will have to take it from our hides will take from us in the from of deleted benefits we worked for and depend
    on to survive our later years.
    Vote for someone that will not repeat 8 more years of this illegal travisity.
