They are unable to think beyond their horizon, as GD points out.
It certainly is amazing... You really have to keep your head on straight to not get caught up in the herd mentality...
I agree with Gerald Celente. This game is getting so perverse that the guy on the street is beginning to figure it out. Soon he will rebel.
Just glanced at CNBC -- I always have it muted, can't stand to listen to them -- they flashed: "59% of population feel 2010 will be better than 2009." It's hard for me to believe that number. I think they must know down deep its only wishful thinking. Soon reality will sink in.
Everyone is thinking as if
March was the bottom. They, then conclude that things
must get better... A big shock is coming...
Bill
From a different perspective, and yes this may sound way out, but if you think about what is going on, I guess it makes about as much sense as anything else.
And John, I think you said, or words to the effect, watching the CNBC is like watching loony toons, well things may get even loonier, IF there is ANY truth to the following. I hope not.
The following is gleaned from a Half Past Human report, dated 12/5/09--58 pages
Half Past Human in general looks for trends in the collective conscious.
They theorise that human society is interconnected at a higher level and to the universe, and that there is a bleed through of this into the Internet data ( word ) traffic ( across different languages). Specific explanation of data gathering and analysis is not given since it is proprietary.
They state the work is based on data accumulation, analysis, and interpretation , which they admit is open to question and various forms of interpretation.
They also state that these forecasts are not prophecies or predictions, since, knowledge of potential events can lead to their fruition, alteration, or prevention. They claim no accuracy and suggest that a reader who is faint of heart should not read the report, they also state that humanity has a propensity to believe what is printed, because it is printed, regardless of validity. Humanity also has a greater tendency to believe the negative.
Having tried to qualify the "comments" in the report I shall mention only a few which may have an influence on finance. Also realize this is MY simplistic stating /and /or understanding of some of their comments, and should NOT be taken as their in depth comments. The following is generally for the years 2010 and 2011.
It is probably also wise to consider the following as STRICTLY entertainment.
Some background information --
global gathering of transmitted data -- for military use
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echelon_(s ... elligence)
magnetism -- and its effect on plants

collective conscious

Therefore the following--
Dwindling food crops will occur globally, as the extremes of weather/climate make them selves felt, influenced by solar and magnetic changes.
There will be a decay in global markets with huge impacts on social order ( China for example ) And another global financial crisis in March. The financial and central banking areas will continue to get more chaotic and dysfunctional as the year progresses ( caused buy systemic rot in the financial system, (caused by human activity) these events will be exacerbated by extreme weather episodes (natural non human influenced by some fundamental change in the solar system)
The above leading to possible riots due to hunger and shortages of edible commodities escalating to irrational behavior against those in authority. And the largely ineffectual responses of central governments.
In the USA, a sudden wave of poverty occurs as wealth is destroyed by the above, causing a collapse of entitlement and pension programs, this leads to unpleasantness at the federal level.
A new electrics will make is way into public awareness and the realization that universities have been producing a false education.
A global transformation and paradigm shift in understanding of what we are and our relation to the larger non terrestrial environment.
There is much more in their report, but the above is provided as material for a "mind game" of "what if"
for your amusement,. --- I have not mentioned some of the nasty stuff.
