    Deep concern U.S. bank losses will derail global economic recovery strengthens USD

    Bloomie is soooo full of sh!t They had another article out there on how the dollar had lost against the Euro...and how commodities were dropping as a result. Now I ask any sane human: If the dollar is losing value...how can the metals (gold, silver, platinum, etc.) go DOWN in price...yet...

    Oil and debt power the US economy?

    "GOD" rules this nation - and by GOD I mean "Gold, Oil and Drugs" You may take that to mean: "Money powers, Energy powers, and Pharmaceutical powers," but, to others it is literal..Gold, Oil and Drugs (Illicit - because the profits are so great!). -gastropod

    Funny how banks keep getting loads of taxpayer free cash

    Agreed! The banks are "earning" their present profits in the markets...with the money that is taken from the citizens at gun point. GS is still using their OLD investment bank way of measuring risk. The gov't gave them until December of this year to keep using it. Other banks have a "more...

    Pentagon has the power to ENABLE new economy, new civilization

    Sad - GTS and Maxpi must be "younger"!!!! Back in "my day" (college from '85-'89) we had a comedian named Sam Kinison who had a bit about "living in the desert and some African residents" He said, "We have deserts, we just don't live in them!!!" Does it REALLY matter how much desert we...

    Is there a hidden bubble growing?

    I guess that is the SCARIEST thing to me - what is the "tell" (if you are a poker fan") or the sign or the "pivot point" or whatever you may want to call it that indicates, "Get the hell out - she's gonna (sic) blow!!!!!" I guess you can "play" gold/silver physical/stocks/ETFs for now, but...

    Is there a hidden bubble growing?

    With the numbers that some of the banks are posting (huge profits in trading), but with the relatively low volumes we are seeing places (like on the Dow), are the banks playing in the dark pools...amongst themselves and "propping up" the markets? Just curious to your thoughts! -gastropod

    Obama is a "droid!" It didn't matter whether McCain or Obama was chosen - the election would have been rigged either way. McObama is the "power elites'" bitch of choice! I don't fault him...or reward him. The smart individuals are not "playing the Obama game" - it is how do I get out of the...
