Is Alcoa a bellwether for the US economy?
Seeking Alpha - 15 minutes ago
"We won't go through the earnings results as everyone is aware that they came in better-than-expected, driven by cost reduction and strong demand in China. Another pleasant surprise was the Company's revenue figure, which was nearly $300MM higher than what the analysts were looking for.
With that said, from a macro standpoint, nearly everything else mentioned on the call was negative. It appears that the Company's well-being is in China's hands. We do not view the better results as a signal for an economic turnaround in the U.S. anytime soon."

US Stocks Fall, S&P 500 Completes Fourth Straight Weekly Loss
Bloomberg
The S&P 500 has dropped more than 7.1 percent since June 12 on concern its rebound of as much as 40 percent since March outpaced prospects for a recovery from the longest slump in profits on record. The index is trading for about 14 times its companies’ earnings over the past 12 months, compared with about 10 times on March 9, the day the gauge slid to a 12-year low.
The worst recession in half a century may be prolonged because consumers see few signs that job losses and declines in home prices are ending
...
the recession will likely continue for six months as companies struggle to pay their creditors

Economist says recession will last 6 months longer
Examiner.com - 07/10/09
"Roubini had earlier predicted an L-shaped recession, a steep decline followed by a weak recovery. The latest stock market rally changed his view: he now feels the recession could be a W-shaped recession with some weak "dead cat bounces" in the market before a true recovery comes through in 2011."
An attitude adjustment is necessary to cope with the real estate
Boston Globe - 07/11/09
"The real estate recession will continue unless a massive brain freeze thaws. Buyers are afraid of purchasing a home at the wrong price, while millions of sellers are locked into unrealistic listing prices."

Mental illness tidal wave swamps New Orleans
"New Orleans already is struggling with fewer than half of the inpatient beds for the mentally ill that it had before the 2005 hurricane - even as suicide rates and the number of people with mental health problems have doubled.
That shortage is about to become even more acute with the scheduled closing Sept. 1 of the New Orleans Adolescent Hospital (NOAH), the city's only public hospital still providing inpatient services for the mentally ill.
The closure, designed to trim $14 million from the state's 2010 budget, will leave New Orleans with 133 beds for mental health inpatient care and will make the city jail - with 60 of those beds - the city's largest psychiatric ward."
....
"The Health Sciences Center at Louisiana State University produced similar findings in a 2007 report, which found that nearly 20 percent of the New Orleans population was suffering from serious mental illness."
