I see the Bush Administration is going to shut down EconomicIndicators.gov allegedly for "budgetary reasons" effective March 1st.
Smells like the M-3 "deep-six". While this data (i.e., GDP, Net Imports and Exports, retail sales, durable goods shipments & Census Bureau) is available elsewhere, this portal saves much time and effort. In the future we'll be forced to pay a fee for easy availablity of this info.
Give thinkprogress.org kudos for digging this information out!

Kudos to Ron Insana: Just now on CNBC he said the Fed must pursue a Japan-style ZIRP. The writing is on the wall.
Kudlow retorted with a speech about increased railroad infrastructure investment.
0% is where we are headed. Ben Shalom Bernanke (that's his real middle name according to Wikipedia) is going to chase the deflation dragon into the vortex. Blessed are the peacemakers!
The stated mission is to protect the taxpayers from 'flation. The real mission is to preserve the private, for-profit, unconstitutional Federal Reserve.

Hey Ron, Shhhhhhh.........

I just spoke with a person at TDAmeritrade to inquire about my Muni "Money Market" sweep for the cash in my brokerage.
He said the current interest rate is 0.8% annually!!! It used to get about 4%.
I changed it over to the US gov't MM at 2.9%. I don't care about the rate, I want safety now.
What happens when everyone else figures this out and sells their Muni short term funds??
Is this Armageddon yet or am I reading way too much into this?

“I’m not as concerned about the return ON my money, as the return OF my money.” Mark Twain. But if you aren't keeping up with inflation, you ARE falling behind. When it comes to financial pundits I'm a little tone deaf, they all sound the same to me, mostly.

grodge,
If you sold bonds that you bought at 4%, but now earn .8%, you just made a humongous profit, nitwit. Rate and price have an inverse relationship with bonds. What are you complaining about?

Tigger is the only "sane" one in the entire Pooh menagerie, you know.
Might as well enjoy the ride!

Hoo, hoo, hoo HOO... That's what tigger's do the best!
Recently watched an episode where Tigger was granted all his birthday wishes, but for every wish he made, another candle on his cake would extinguish. After wasting all his wishes on needless luxuries and left with a single candle, he sensibly decided to wish he and his friends back to reality. I don't see our current perdicament ending so happily...
