I agree with the 1st two articles (with the exception of the $23 trillion nonsense) and am in the double dip camp myself. As to when that next dip will be reflected by the market is something that I am far less clear about, but sometime between now and the end of 2010, barring additional...

The real CEO's of the Chinese economy are raking in Billions just as the real CEOs in Russia used to. How much is Putin worth, at least a billion and that's just what news orgs can find out about. A Chinese CEO of a state controlled org is essentially a spokesman and $200K is not that bad for...

The only one who ever wins is their shill. Fixed amount bet.

The same phenomenon is well documented in Latin America with the dependencia economic theory but it only works with those economy's that are largely commodity based. Shutting them off to global trade forces them to develop a simple manufacturing base and an infrastructure to support it rather...

Amazing the drama and fear that a 20 point drop in the SP elicits.

There are always pick pockets and thieves of that kind in Barca and other coastal towns around the med like Nice. Mostly gypsy's or Moroccans, they are a scourge and if you confront them they run or pull knives and then run. In Barca they hang around in the shadows off Las Ramblas in the...

The NQ dropped 10-12 points on the news.

Very good review, thank you. I can scarcely believe that those words came out of the mouth of a US President, sounds like a communist command economy manifesto. How many of the people cheering would give up their Ipods and notebooks?In Moore's world they wouldn't have any of those things...

That's fair enough (thanks for the kind words, the respect is mutual) and as I mentioned in my posts I freely admitted that I was on TILT as I too had been stung on the short side (was long SRS and short regional banks due to CRE concerns which seem not to matter). Or maybe it wasn't so much the...

No one is talking about the ECRI growth index either.

Given the discount Ireland is paying for its banks bad assets this is a particularly salient post.

There it is 1.4760.

That little pop was fun!

Thanks for the link NoDoji, will check it out. Here is Chamber's talking about his vision of Web 2.0, the technology that can facilitate the powerful innovative synergies that Brettman identified. http://mitworld.mit.edu/video/619

Good thread guys, thanks for posting and for starting it Brettman. This was particularly brilliant, not that far from what Chamber's vision is for Cisco: "But, if I had to venture a not-unreasonable guess, it would have something to do with the fact that "good ideas" are now approximately...

Nice run BLB!

If this round of stress tests is anything like the last they will almost all pass and a big "all clear" signal will be sounded after much hype. Just another way to boost investor confidence and get them buying secondaries and bank's bonds.

If this call doesn't work, come back in a month under a new alias and call another top! Fun times :D

A good night's sleep and less time in market means less exposure to risk per $ made.

Meanwhile RKH breaks out...
