Roman Candle is stock_trd3r. We have our contrarian back. Whew. I was getting worried.

ET Needs to get with the times and let us express our individuality in these times of corporate collectivism. "My country, my country...my country for Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan." Who knew Obama's welfare state would tilt towards the most well-off financial masters of the universe...

CNBC only reports same store sales that are better than expected. I'm serious. I caught a glimpse of Kernin and that motley crew this morning and they were blushing about Wal-Mart's sales (and yes, isn't it odd that Wal-Mart won't report sales data monthly anymore. I wonder why?).

Will attempt to prop up failed markets with your tax dollars... ...for how long they'll be able to do so is anyone's guess. The PPT is very real, and has gone global. Your new retirement plan is being handled by the Federal Reserve and Treasury, but its benefits are intended to be...

Excellent post. The growing interdependency of economies will exacerbate this profound downturn as exporting intense countries that are thought to be savers, such as China, will also be hammered with a drop in demand for their products by debtor-consumer nations, and China's "massive savings"...

Thanks for finding the article once it was released ARGT. Does anyone know how much of the world inventory of copper China consumes as a %?

Rich Americans Default on Luxury Homes as Losses Emulate Subprime Victims http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20603037&sid=a5750zUcnEEs&refer=home By Bob Ivry and Dan Levy May 6 (Bloomberg) -- Chuck Dayton put down a quarter of the $950,000 purchase price when he bought his...

The person with the highest know IQ in the United States (and maybe world) works as a bouncer at a Boston area bar. IQ of 190 to 210, depending on the exact test. Chris Langan. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie"...

Fiat Motors Is Worth Only $5.5b By Edward Niedermeyer May 6, 2009 Considerare l’aritmetica, asks Rob Cox at breakingviews.com. Sure, the Chrysler freebee deal has sent Fiat stock soaring, but if you strip away the non-auto components of the Fiat group and factor in the firm’s $8b in...

Blah, bleh. Even Pabst agrees with me that Obamanomics can't save us from the shit storm that's coming (rather, Obamanomics will exacerbate the shitstorm). Like I repeatedly said, if you're that rarest of species, a consistently profitable trader, you'll know when to duck, roll and run for...

I've never said this is 'a depression the likes of which we've never seen.' I've said it's bad and going to get much worse. And your ebullience is based on the move up from the March 09 lows, and a rally today in commodities and metals? You need to seriously temper your Kudlow-esque...

Yesterday business models? LMAO!!! You sound JUST like some top government officials when they're addressing Congress. ...no mention of jobs, wages, etc. It's the 'new economy,' and it's going to be a beautiful, green one, with windmills and solar cells, and people taking two hour...

Bugatti Veyron is the new 'I have arrived, and I have a large cock,' vehicle of choice.

I am not a trader. Despite the contrary statistics I read about regarding the % of daytraders who are consistently profitable, my own anectdotal experience is that I do not know one trader who has not puked as much and typically more than he has gorged, and on top of that, he has to deal with...

I don't trust ADP as far as I can throw it, and you shouldn't either. I've said this whether they've had benign or dramatic (bearish or bullish) reports in the past, every time. This is shaping up to be a very dynamic week. Look for surprises around every corner today, tomorrow and...

Dick may be right, though. Hey, here's a question for everyone who is interested in economics. They keep subjecting us to the term 'recovery.' What, precisely, will America look like fundamentally, and how will it be different, when we do reach the holy pinnacle of 'recovery' in this...

Jobs and wages, mainly. If people don't have jobs, they can't buy shit if it's offered at 0% financing for 10 years, same as cash. If people see their wages and benefits slashed dramatically, and are worried about keeping their jobs, they buy used Hyundai Excels, and no more shiny new BMW...

The higher end the car, the better the deal at wholesale auction right now. This statement comes directly from the mouth of someone whom I know from past business who has the largest towing company in the area, and regularly deals with auction/repossessed vehicles.
