Just back in from a great end of summer vacation/baseball tourney in Maui....summer is over for the Herriage household and it's back to school today. During a layover yesterday I noticed that the market was getting hammered. Then, when I ran my research this morning Isaw that it was not only a 180 point down day,

Hello from Paradise! I'm in the Dom Republic at WMI's Private Wealth Group and this place is beyond gorgeous. What's even more incredible than the scenery however are the WMI Members in attendance. Yes, our WMI family rocks...

THE NEW NORMAL - WHY ANY RECOVERY WILL BE PAINFULLY SLOW Think for a second about where our economic growth came from over the last 10 years or so. We know that consumers have been the primary drivers for the US economy. Because we now manufacture….

Wayne Allyn Root, WMI’s Senior Economic Advisor, the 2008 Libertarian Party Vice Presidential nominee, and a regular personality on FOX News and FOX Business, is declaring “W.A.R” on big government beginning June 6, when “W.A.R: The Wayne Allyn Root Show” debuts in the three largest U.S. radio markets.

April unemployment showed the U.S. losing 539,000 jobs, versus the 600,000 estimate, bringing the unemployment rate to 8.9%. U4, the unemployment rate that includes those that have stopped looking for work and those that are working just part time, now stands at 16%.

Before I get to the market forecast for the week, just a quick reminder that this IS a bear market rally, and once it ends: "Too-big-to-fail" banks like Bank of America andCitigroup, and corporations like Chrysler and General Motors, WILL ultimately be allowed to fail; …

Google's earnings report after the close of trading showed that while they beat the estimates pretty handily, growth is clearly showing due to a decrease in ad sales. Initially the stock traded over $20 higher to $400 + before ending at $388, up $9 on the day. any of the key financials closed lower, reversing earlier gains. Goldman, Wells Fargo,

Meridith Whitney, another of the top ranked bank analysts, and one that has been dead right on the insolvency issues surrounding the industry over the last couple of years, came on CNBC to say that the first quarter earnings results should not be as bad as some have feared.

While I expect the bear market rally to continue for a short while longer there is no evidence that I can find whatsoever that we have reached a final bottom in this once of a lifetime collapse in equities and the economy. Here’s what you have to remember about bear market rallies; they happen incredibly quickly…

Yes folks, the fix was in for a stock market rally, which tells you that they are very concerned….beyond that, frightened,

One by one, U.S. and global leaders are lining up to talk up their respective schemes to end this once in a lifetime economic collapse. Collectively they are putting on a unified road show to ensure us pawns that the trillions upon trillions being spent on massive, never-before-seen global bailouts will in fact work,
