SUTTMEIER ON YAHOO: "We did have a bubble in gold, the bubble popped and we're now trying to reflate," says Richard Suttmeir of valuengine.com in the attached clip.

Content Marketing Comes of Age: Coca-Cola and Google Mark Watershed Moment - EContent Magazine

: Content 2020 is Coca-Cola's marketing plan for the future"

"...Google has become one of the largest content producers on the planet."

"Major consolidation is coming, but it's not what you think. Over the next few years, more and more media companies, both small and large, will be bought out by brands in those particular industries. Google's purchase of Zagat and JPG magazine's (a photography publication) purchase by an investor group led by photo-supplies retailer Adorama is just the tip of the iceberg."

"Content is the new advertising"

"big brands like Coca-Cola, Google, and Johnson & Johnson committing to content marketing is literally going to change not just marketing for the future, but the world"

These Gurus won't look Dumb this time

2011-12-30T10:32:00.001-05:00

A story in BusinessInsider.com earlier this year pointed to 22 Stock Market Gurus who made bearish forecasts two years ago. (Although at the time of those predictions, none of these market veterans had any idea that the United States Government would be buying stocks in the market place}. I believe these forecasts from 2009 and 2010 will play out in the next two to five years ahead.

Believe it : Risk in the $3 Trillion Municipal Bond Market

2011-12-12T12:14:00.003-05:00

States, Counties and Cities across America have dug enormous deficits and have been continuously rescued by the Federal Government. Many municipalities are labeled “deadbeats” for failure to pay bills. Suffering from lower tax revenue and increasing pension debts the problems are escalating. The biggest trouble this time is that Washington is not in a position to bail out these municipalities any longer.

"It has tentacles as wide as anything I've seen. I think next to housing this is the single most important issue in the United States, and certainly the largest threat to the U.S. economy," –Meridith Whitney

The Bailout numbers are troubling, but the secrecy and lack of accountability of the central bank (Fed) has ruined all TRUST.

"Bloomberg LP, the parent of Bloomberg News, won a court case against the Fed and a group of the biggest U.S. banks called Clearing House Association LLC to force lending details into the open."

"The banks spent $146.3 billion on compensation in 2010..... "

"...the Fed had committed $7.77 trillion as of March 2009 to rescuing the financial system"

" On Nov. 26, 2008, then- Bank of America Corp. Chief Executive Officer Kenneth D. Lewis wrote to shareholders that he headed “one of the strongest and most stable major banks in the world.” He didn’t say that his Charlotte, North Carolina-based firm owed the central bank $86 billion that day."
