Greed and Capitalism

What kind of society isn't structured on greed? The problem of social organization is how to set up an arrangement under which greed will do the least harm; capitalism is that kind of a system.

CHART OF THE DAY: Adam Parker 2012 Year End Outlook - Business Insider


 In case you didn't know, the S&P stands at 1457.

In a massive presentation on his year-end predictions, Parker explains why:
  • Earnings growth is very poor.
  • Earnings are volatile, and that's also ominous.
  • Historically, extreme rates (both high and low) are bearish. Our current sub-zero interest rates are bad.
  • Historic price-to-earnings ratios at this time of year suggest a downturn. "Investors are overpaying for cyclical earnings!" he exclaims, adding, "most industry groups appear to be over-earning right now."

 Probable Weighted Target is 1167 0r down ~20 %
