Uhm. It was already falling when Japan hit. It would have fallen anyway, evne if there had been no earthquake. Other than that, as I said back then, I was still mostly long some stuff back then. Now not so much. I don' think this will go a lot higher and this here market looks like it is...

Fine by me. I don't believe in legends in general. I'm not arguing that he is a very astute trader.

Obviously he made a good deal but one call does not make one a legend imo.

Ah, but you are wrong. Not responding to the first point. To the second point that Paulson is a "trading legend", I respectfully disagree. I don't buy for a second that he "saw the crisis coming" or anything of the sort. What he knew was something a lot of people in the business knew...

Surely you are joking? It's not about how much debt you have it's about what you do with the money. And the US made some mistakes but it's also an awesome country with lots and lots of productive capacity, innovation and a highly educated workforce. China, on the other hand, has a lot of useless...

I was talking to a guy who said a girl rejected him because of his shoes. Same thing.

Ah, well, there you go. A reason for the USD to rally.

Margin applies to both longs and shorts so it should have no impact on the price.

Isn't bearish order flow with bullish price action good? Anyway, buyers look foaming at the mouth and are pushing it higher. Not very surprising because we had panic selling, now we have panic buying. Expect a consolidation (lower) or a retest in the indices. Especially in Europe by the...

Barring the demise of the USD? In the case of USD demise, and many have already said this, silver or gold or whatever will be pretty much useless. USD demise is hyperinflationary and in a hyperinflationary event you will want to own the following for wealth preservation and/or expansion...

It's quite simple really. The reason that silver is going up so quickly is because physical is currently very popular with the masses, probably multiple std devs above what would be considered "normal" in this market (unlike gold). With a futures contract size north of $100k and probably only...

The USAF should just use some suburbs for target practice (unoccupied ones of course). That should take care of the massive supply glut.

Yeah well, you're probably wrong (about Fukushima, not the part about relying on media hype). The difference between this and TMI is (afaik) that the problems at TMI got overstated and got gradually less severe, while the situation here is that problems are continuously understated and get...

Haha, cheer up mate; you really have no sense of humor. I'm actually quite a bit more bullish (or rather less bearish) than I was a few months ago. Usually I get more bullish with the declines and more bearish when it goes up a lot. Clearly you don't function by any similar kind of metric. It...

The Vice President of what? Surely not the United States. Maybe FOX news?

Gonna have a HUGE gap DOWN tomorrow! Here is why: "GOOD GOD SOMETHING AWFUL IS GOING TO HAPPEN! WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?!"

The US is smarter. Not even going to argue why. Why not be policeman of the world? If you expect the world to basically give you prosperity via massive account deficits you have to do something for the world (i.e. make it better in some way). If you want to be more like China that's fine...

haha stupid redneck. You just call everybody who doesn't agree with you a pinko liberal, don't you? That's fine, I do too, you old lefty. In the meantime I'm not left-wing oriented. I oppose all government functions apart from those that provide economic or undeniable practical benefits from...

How about BOTH? Well, most of the middle east isn't commiting genocide in a civil war situation is it? If the US had waited other ME nations might have gotten involved, Syria or Saudi Arabia. That wouldn't have been pleasant. If things continue to escalate I think and hope they will be...

The world was quite different in that time and whatever the point may have been is certainly less applicable today. Also, if you think elected officials have much power then that would be a serious mistake also. Government is run by government. Each election the puppets change but the guys...
