sustainable recovery difficult.

vast deleveraging taking place in our economy.

at least three percent to force banks to starting lending.

CNBC The Call Dow 10,000: New Support Level? Wednesday, 21 Oct 2009
Highlights from this interview include:
*Low volatility levels merely means there are too many people on the optimistic side of the market. Now is the time to transition to the opposite side of the spectrum and move to cash.
*Current economic conditions signal that all of the risk is on the downside.
*Baby boomers are making the transition from spenders to savers. If the nation's largest demographic is not spending money, we will not see any significant economic growth.

Highlights from this interview include:
*Employment is still weak, the housing market is on the rocks and consumer spending has declined year over year by 35 percent.

CNBC The Call Behind the Selloff
http://bit.ly/h7dRh
Highlights from this interview include:
* Consumption levels are low and will continue to trend downward over the foreseeable future. Individuals who are unemployed or worry they will become unemployed are unlikely to increase consumption, and thus current spending habits will further deteriorate the balance sheets of businesses large and small.
* Aggressive investors should continue to seek out the leaders: emerging markets, financials, small cap growth and technology.
* September will likely witness the end of the rally. We are pointing one foot toward the exit door and will consider lower support levels breached when the Dow Jones Industrial Average falls below 8,800.
