Maybe he realized if they can make cell towers look just like palm trees (I had to stare one down the other day before I figured out what it was) they probably would figure out a way to make those huge props less fugly.

I have nothing against wind power, but burn coal goddammit. Screw Al Gore. Global warming is B.S. That ass acts like it's not even up for debate anymore. http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-3309910462407994295

So, in your opinion, a depression is inevitable, and we should just let everything collapse. That way, we can get an early start on rebuilding. I admit, you could be right. But I'm not willing to take the chance that you're completely wrong, and we really can come up with a compromise that...

Rick Santelli expressed what most Americans feel: we have no problem cutting off our nose to spite our face, so don't you dare sell us something that might involve a fellow American getting a better deal—because perception is everything. I'm all for moving forward and hanging the guilty...

Second time in six trading days? Man, you day traders have a tough job. :p

I did, but I expected it six months from now, once the economy showed no signs of improvement. The market has the best curveball in the history of mankind.

That's great. You want a pat on the back? How much money did you lose waiting for it to happen? Since you just swallowed and regurgitated Peter Schiff's opinions, did you copy his loses too? And the phrase is "came to pass."

SPX bounced from about 741 to 941 just recently with no positive news. We're back down to the 700's and we will probably bounce to the high 800s, low 900s on some bogus news out of Washington before we drift back down to find the real bottom, probably in the 600s. If you want to short now...

Agreed. Six months from now, who knows what will happen, but in the short term, a sucker rally is overdue. Short C and BAC and the market in general only if you have a high tolerance for pain. We might see a retest of the '02 lows in the next few days, but it will bounce back hard. The...

Yes. Many are missing this point. They are so hung up on social welfare, they completely ignore the corporate welfare—which dwarfs social welfare by comparison.

One theory I subscribe to is supply side economics exaggerate the normal business cycle and the Alan Greenspan style of economics, Greenomics, has hit its climax. These extreme ups and downs are not normal and do not need to exist.

Fast Money is, hands down, the best program on CNBC. Which isn't saying much :D

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you're way off base here. 13HP generators do not cost $399. A boat anchor with 13HP stickers on its sides might cost $399. If you are not convinced, load your generator to about 6500 watts and let it run for an hour or two. A decent 13HP generator will...

So your vote is to do nothing. Fair enough. There is a good chance that supply-siders and Greenomics have dug a hole so deep, nothing will prevent the inevitable depression. I think many on Wall St. and in government would disagree with you, though, and would insist eliminating fear and...

He has done some things I am not happy with, but there are no easy answers. Criticizing sure is easy though.

I get the impression that Bernie thought he had invented a new way to make money on Wall St. and he could keep the scam going indefinitely. He wasn't the typical take the money and run con man. Without the market collapse, it would be business as usual for Madoff and Stanford. The important...

I see your point, but he still was the president of the free world. I am a firm believer in "the buck stops here." He signed an extremely damaging bill and he nominated Greenspan twice, without question, because the economy was solid. Which, to me, is akin to Merrill Lynch (among other firms)...

At least they have Phil Graham listed as #1. So many key figures made mistakes. I like to start at the top, though. Bill "things look good right now, so I must be doing a great job" Clinton and George "the worst president in the history of the world" Bush played their part, no doubt. Alan...

Maybe they don't exist. Maybe I'm a little frustrated and just ranting. If you can't rant on a bulletin board, where the hell else can you rant? I'm sure everyone agrees, it's a tough situation we are in right now. Infighting will do little to resolve the problem.

We elected George Bush twice and average citizens aggressively support the agenda of the elite few. We are doomed. I'm no liberal, and you can forget about a "nice civil war." Your elite masters will never allow that to happen. There's too much money to make off the backs of liberals...
