$73,000 vs $100? One man's DIY experience: http://phoenix.about.com/cs/desert/a/snakebite_4.htm High dose ascorbate and systemic proteases have a technical basis for ameliorating most snake bites. Vitamin C doesn't address neurotoxins like the coral snake but apparently does neutralize most...

He'll take a petabyte out of the economy?

AJC is hosting a Rocky Mountain oyster cookout. Anyone contributing?

Most of all that means a government that lives within our means. Also one that doesn't interfere with our means of making a living. Until then we a just a bankrupt empire whose liabilities greatly exceed our assets because of welfare, entitlements and spendaholic government overbeings who are...

Casino vs Crash America grew strong and tough taking the short, sharp recessions. Historically, the unprincipled casino route always seems to crap out, one way or the other. Escaping from the walled casino is not always obvious either, often the players are "Hotel California". So the...

Ben probably thinks he has to be "good" (Obama version) until February, so he can retain his position to provide enlightened guidance at the Fed. Bet "O" will knife him and bring in another, greater inflationist, so all long term promises are meaningless.

I still prefer Thinkorswim charts. I have both IB and ToS.

Short sellers' "buying opportunity" near/at close? Fade and trade.

Air tickets to Asia $800 for high quality service. Living in parts of Asia, medical care is less than the part B deductible and you can dump the Mediscare ~$100 monthly (rising to $120 soon) since Medicare doesn't do anything for you overseas. Even more important if IRS starts charging better...

Where I live, most of the old folks talk about how hard it is to find any doctors who takes Medicare (excepting a personable, former nurse anthesist). The state employees have super insurance bennies. The vet seems happy with the VA set up, although limited care. Medical tourism has just...

"...1998 would see a "mad cow" stock market of unprecedented volatility and ultimately a large negative correction" That was Russia (1998) and LTCM's trillion dollar derivatives collapse, averted by the Fed and its friends holding their noses to paper it over. Wikipedia is a...

A top for the quarter or year? Perhaps. Will it sooner or later establish new tops above $1000. Many can think of trillions of FRickiN reasons. A 30% retrace down on gold would sure be nice, just as soon as I ride my US stock shorts to their top.

Canada has a lot of oil and mining to help. Some of its real estate trusts that I've had an eye on this past year seem to factor in the oil market. The late 1980s were pretty unpleasant for Canadian $. eg. $0.65 / $C.

Just like an alcoholic that thinks more alcohol is the answer.

Green shoots theory. Oh, missed the "i" next to the "o", twice.

Auction off *all* Madoff family assets. Including organs.

Guys like Bernake and Miller (out in 1979) have to be thrown out to stop their easing tendencies. They'll have to bring in a Volker clone, just like last time they had to dump Miller to save the dollar. Just hope its not too late when they pull the plug on the counterfei-, er, Treasury source...

GHB (Xyrem) is a "naturally-occurring substance found in the central nervous system, wine, beef, small citrus fruits, and almost all animals in small amounts. It is also a neuroprotective therapeutic nutrient..." (Wikipedia) It was available in health food stores in the 1980s for body...

A W bottom that then goes sideways until the next W or L simply mean that the structural issues were not resolved by an inflation or reflation. Frankly a possible V bottom in the US scares me more. It would mean that Tim and Ben have poured (are pouring) so much fertilizer that we are going...

GM had lost its way by 1960 with UAW and a number of fundamental, consumer-unfriendly decisions. Good riddance.
