I'm not 100% sure, but I think every case of an inverted yield curve was followed by a recession.

I don't think comparing him to one of the greatest stock market "operators" of all time adds much. The fact is he made a huge sum of money. Just because he didn't make the "most ever" is hardly a slight. Darvas had lost money, quite a lot of it. He didn't just become successful from day...

Making $2MM in the 60s not good enough these days? And he's now all of a sudden an "investor"? Umm, yeah, right. Who cares about making a "steady living from the market"? Do you wanna get rich or make a "steady living"? The man made his cash and didn't give it back. That's more...

Global neofeudalism my ass. Have you heard of the book, "Globalization and its discontents"? Well, I think you could just skip that one and move straight to, "Life and its discontents". Cheer up damir, and beat that pervasive pessimism!

Yes, make sure you tune in as Don 'King' Bright tries to save The Industry (that we all love so much)!

I love the way Don pretends to be concerned about 'the industry'. In reality, the Brights are pleased as punch over this development, as they can certainly expect some traders coming over from the firms that are forced to shut down.

Three economists are out hunting deer. The first one takes a shot and misses by a meter to the right. The second shoots and misses by a meter to the left. The third one begins shouting, "we got him, we got him!" ****** An economist: someone good with numbers that doesn't have the...

I can be mean. Don't tempt me, I've a huge Napolean complex and an utterly justified exalted ego. And if you don't think those two characteristics are possible, now you should. Lol. I think complete idiot is your most readily identifiable quality. At least you're somewhat entertaining...

Umm, that's fanastic. Good for you. But I don't get it....this has what exactly do with our conversation? Okay, let's talk about that. How exactly does a government imprimatur on the definition of the word "marriage" constitute discrimination? Gays want to redefine marriage and...

Lol. I doubt it will happen. But even if it does I don't think anyone in the states where manufacturing is most important -- and the rust belt is probably going to decide this election -- is going to buy or like it.

Human beings.

>Would you want your kid turing out gay? >>I want her or any other child of mine to be comfortable and >>proud of what they ARE and what they have become. Lol, spoken like a politician. What does that really mean? You'd encourage your child to be proud of being a drug addict? A...

Sure. Just realize I was referring to a particular example, not the concept of "freedom of choice" in its entirety. In the post where I made that comment, Diode had agreed with that a variety of factors influenced the emergence of homosexual behavior. So I contested whether this really...

Human rights, minority rights, gay rights, baboon rights, insect rights. Is there ever an end? Obviously we have to draw the line somewhere. For all the endless moralising of the pro gay marriage movement you would think they just uncovered the moral bedrock on which to rebuild society...

Pure genius.
