Credit/Debt was a parasite and it now risks dying as its host is gravely ill. Intelligently evolved parasites adapted long ago to ensure their host never became seriously ill, let alone died. That would ensure that the parasite would have to find another host quickly, or itself risk death...

P.F. Chang's was packed on a Friday Night. Happy Days are here again. Seriously, these anecdotal observations are of little utility. The economy is seriously wounded and may be on a ventilator soon. The massive layoffs are coming. Everyone who thinks this will be your typical...

Okay, Texas gurus: I actually (shamefully) watched CNBC last night, and Donny Deutch had Cramer on. Cramer was talking to a 41 Y.O. caller (with three children under 9) who lost his engineering job (100k+) in Michigan and told the guy to move to Texas and that he'd find a job immediately...

If you hadn't noticed, this thread was bait for stock_trd3r, and he snagged it like a dull big mouth bass, with a $200 aapl call (while leaving the date vague). If I pressed him on the date, I'm sure he'd say before Santa comes to his chimney. He may just get some lumps of coal.

There's no rule that states you have to have an open position to comment on a stock. If there were, this site wouldn't exist. So GFY.

Have a little patience. We will retest the lows we put in this year, and Apple is not the rare fruit it once was, now competing in a very crowded space that at one time wasn't,IMO. I may be right, I may be wrong, but I certainly try not to engage in hubris. Times are so incredibly...

I am particularly interested in Rome, and most curiously, England. Also, is there a common, causal thread through the failure of all of the Great Empires in time? Middle Kingdom China, Assyria, Babylon, Egypt, Spartica Greece, Persia, Rome, Napoleonic France, England....America. Why do...

Yeah baby!!! The bait just got snatched!!!

Give this man a ceeegar! Word!

I know one thing as fact, and no one can tell me otherwise: If crop production in the U.S. falters significantly, especially wheat, corn, or beans (including soybeans), for whatever reason (drought, war, depression, etc.), you will have hundreds of millions of people dying each year in...

If the cash hoarding intensifies, all bets are off. Money stopping circulating is what causes depressions, tanks equity values in that cataclysmic realm, and causes depressions....and it is happening now whether some refuse to admit it or not. You can throw all assumptions and metrics and...

I think we're turning Japanese, and if we are, it makes me SICK TO MY STOMACH, because you might as well buy a lottery ticket (I think the Japanese might be turning Korean; I have no idea what the Koreans will turn into): <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie"...

wtf do you smoke, snort or inject, and why?

Don't forget that they're asking for a 250 Billion Dollar Bailout package... ...and no, I'm not making that shit up.
