Actually, your defense of these contrived inflation statistics is a waste of our time. I can tell you first hand that the cost of goods rose dramatically during that 2003-07 period and yet, lo and behold, we were told there was little consumer inflation during that period as well. I'm...

Later to be revised to "um, err, well you see it didn't necessarily CREATE 700,000 jobs, but it saved 700,000 jobs that would have been eliminated if we had not launched more monetary stimulus". Or perhaps it creates more public sector leeches.

I used to believe this, but no longer for one very simple reason. I'm relatively convinced that the first "flash crash" was an opening act and that when it does occur again, it will probably be more intense and more chaotic. So what exactly happens when even the most liquid names are bid...

Bush sucked, Obama sucks. End of story.

And crude oil was $10 per barrel in 1998. Gas cost about $1 per gallon. Do yourself a favor and create a basket of goods and then do some research on what things cost just a decade ago. And I don't want to hear that b.s. argument that asset inflation is good, as if that justifies the...

Yes, please take a college course so that you can forever be a lost academic arguing about theories and not reality. Look, I could give a shit that the velocity of money is declining, if the PD's are going in and driving up the prices of all commodities to try and "engineer" some inflation...

Some of the most corrupted individuals who walk the earth are members of Congress. They also happen to be some of the most ignorant and thoughtless buffoons we could possibly find. It really is a stretch to believe that this collective clusterfuck of stupidity and corruption could come...

What Marketsurfer does, with his endless supply of aliases, is tantamount to harassment. If someone is told that they are banned and for two years creates a new alias every week, there should be legal remedy against such behavior. If I were Baron. I'd definitely do something more drastic...

Mis-fortuna Capital?

That's because you are an inflationista douchebag. Part of the crowd of asshats around here who think we should just permanently "QE" no matter the consequences. I also happen to notice that all of these QE fuckwits write with what I consider some form of broken English, which makes me...

Yes, by all means, we must cut off our nose to spite our face!! Please do the world a favor and use birth control. Our only hope is that your twisted logic dies off within a generation.

Sure, but you're living in an antiquated mentality. Everybody was conditioned to jump thru hoops to boost their credit scores 5 years ago, now not so much. The backlash brought on by the events of the past several years will have repurcussions for at least a generation, that I am certain...

You are a human fade. Without question, you've proven to be just about the most ignorant, stuck in the mud, asshat that this site has ever produced. I hope for your sake that you are under the age of 30, so that I can write it off as youthful naivete, otherwise you've been brainwashed into...

Sounds like Whole Foods on steroids. She seems to think that a person's monthly food bill should dwarf their mortgage. Ironically, with all the strategic defaulters, her small window of opportunity has probably been the past year or so. But it does beg a very important question. At some...

Always the predictable response. These guys set the house on fire and we congratulate them for extinguishing the fire. As said many times before, the time to act was obviously many years ago before the leveraging of the financial system reached epic proportions. That said, even if they...

The article only paints half the picture. It's the same trick that's been used for years. So, there is 211k in a 401(k), matched against how much mortgage and credit card debt. If you balance it out, what picture are we presented with. Another thing worth mentioning to put into stark...

Unreal. Are you really this dense? Not once did I mention SCHEDULED FOMC events, but like I mentioned in my first post, it's clear you are new to trading, otherwise you would have known that the Fed has acted intra-day, UNANNOUNCED more than half a dozen times in the past decade. In no...

I guess that you were born yesterday. The outlier events that I referred to happen exclusively INTRA-DAY and before you started trading 6 months ago, it's a head's you win, tails you lose in so far as whether you are lucky or unlucky enough to be positioned on the right side of some surprise...

The reality is that even if you could achieve the kind of returns you propose, that outlier event (as cliched as it sounds in this day at age to talk about)...whether it be an FOMC Announcement, some piece of new market legislation (outlawing shorts in financials), a "flash crash", quite...

Yes, I figure that they are permanent and our Frankenstein like economy will just become ever the more distorted and grotesque. Those who reside in closest proximity to the liquidity pump will benefit to an ever greater degree while the real economy sucks wind. Of course, as all of this...
