machinehead Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 QUOTE (GregFokker @ Jul 31 2003, 08:38 AM) Defense spending rose 44.1 percent, the largest increase since the third quarter of 1951. ? Tanks for that Amazing info ? ? ? In the more plain-spoken era of 1918, when the War Department was fattening the pockets of its contractors, market plungers of the day called them "War Babies" and "War Brides."

MyGoldenStool Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Defense spending rose 44.1 percent, the largest increase since the third quarter of 1951. Wow, if this is the type of effect it has on the economy, maybe they should increase it even more and put EVERYONE back to work! A critter in every pot.... er.... or was that chicken?

GregFokker Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 They need to clear 997 ES, and they're not even close. Going short if it breaks, and will target 984. Below 984 is the airball zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyGoldenStool Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 7:24AM Broadcom downgraded at Wachovia (BRCM) 20.71: Wachovia downgrades to Mkt Perform from Outperform; while the co's core biz continues to achieve solid growth, checks indicate BRCM should experience considerable weakness in its server rev in 2H04; also, while firm remains impressed with BRCM's emerging products, this segment's growth may not be sufficient to make up their previous server rev contribution; sees valuation range of $19-$24. Nice timely call, seeing it's down almost 30% from its high a mere month ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyGoldenStool Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Snippet from a pay site re Joe Osha's call Osha 7/31/03 08:22 AM ET OSHA should inspect this Osha character at ML for investor safety violations. I guess after his money-making call (NOT) at the top of Intel's run two weeks ago, he's doubling down by upping MXIM, NSM, SMTC, et al and he's "more positive" on the chip sector in general. 20-40% upside potential for these names....most of which have already doubled since March.

TheMotleyStool Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 GDP is improving, of course, but no doubt less than the govt numbers suggest. In Q1, they said 1.9% and revised it down to 1.4%. I suspect this 2.4% will be revised down to 1.9% or so. Of course, nobody cares about the downward revisions, just the initial headline number and whether that number beats the lowered previous number.

I'd be curious to see what the actual # would be if you factored out the explosion in defense spending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest libertas Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 As previous posters have pointed out, huge amounts of debt are being pumped into the economy. Not only home equity, but government debt as well in the form of deficit spending (on defense largely, it appears). That shows up in the GDP numbers. It will also show up in inflation and interest rates. That's the market-killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
