Lost in this debate is also the different between a publicly traded corporation and a private corporation. When the Fed runs its money pump asset reflation scheme, the large shareholders/directors of these publicly traded corps receive even further indirect bailouts as "whomever" relentlessly...

You took the words out of my mouth (or in this case off my keyboard). They are a combination of public sector pensioners with the perpetual gravy train of monthly checks and government employees who saw their compensation go parabolic since Obama took office. Private sector small business...

This thread is a case study in the lunacy that has captured both political parties. A post was made about 35% of all corporate profits as a direct result of government subsidy. Why would anyone dispute that? We know that financial services or the F.I.R.E. economy makes up the bulk of all...

Why not answer the original question? Tell me why I should own stocks and sell precious metals? Only a complete loser such as yourself would still be buying the "stocks" bullshit in the year 2011. You're a decade too late. Get a new act.

I really believe this site is filled with shills. Some of the arguments that these guys make are so vacuous that I can only attribute it to an agenda. Just like this tribe of individuals who never find a single fault with Bernanke's monetary policies. It's the only site that I've found...

Because the ability to service debt is already severely strained and further increases in the cost of living make it a certainty that we will experience another round of serious defaults. I'll never understand the stupidity of you guys who look at the world thru "the stock market" as if...

Execs at print media companies must be seething with envy at the entire spectacle. Queen Ariana gets her 315 million and scoffs at the mere prospect that many talented bloggers should earn a penny for their efforts. I'll throw this entire episode into the bin labelled "misallocation of...

I agree with the other poster about social skills and development and that would be my number one concern about homeschooling. That being said, if a kid is a genius, he's probably not going to adapt easily in a school setting either. At least not until he reaches a certain age where kids get...

They'd probably end up spending countless hours on Elite Trader.

It's a remarkable trend with the politico's; namely, that they all suddenly have these "moments of clarity" as they leave office. It's just more proof that while in office, they are so owned by special interests that they can never "do the right thing". Once out of office, they try to regain...

Nitro is right, you are really on target. Great analysis all around.

You have to literally KNOW that your job is bulletproof when you pull off this sort of shit.

I was certain in 2007-08 it was pure speculation, but the vocal majority was out in full force saying otherwise. Again, crude oil from $10 in 1998 to $147 in 2008 back to $38 later that same year tells me the same thing...namely, there is a shitload of money that continues to pour into...

Cramer and his like are essentially a part of the "media mafia". In other words, they are untouchable..they have friends in the highest places and their message is approved by those who run this rat trap. If he weren't a functional mouthpiece of the oligarchy, the guy would have been brought...

Good observations and I've been arguing these same points these past few years. Stimulus goes far beyond the big dollar figures that get debated in the media, it's the more "stealth" like sources of backdoor stimulus by way of parabolic Federal employment, always emerging new agencies and other...

By the sound of it, she probably has just a few years left and presumably no heirs either. Nevertheless, we really have to expand the scope of "clawbacks", not just for a situation such as this, but for all sorts of malfeasance wherein the perps knowingly engaged in fraudulent activities...

This is probably just the tip of the iceberg. I'm sure it's extremely prevalent albeit the perps aren't so brazen as to rip off over a million dollars. I'm guessing the victim had no children for a Power of Attorney to take over her finances. It's clear we need to bring back some serious...

Actually, in all seriousness, I challenge EMR to make one post WITHOUT talking about his private equity business. It's become a pathology with him. Never can he simply make a comment without turning into more self-aggrandizement. He makes some good points and is generally insightful, but...

A carbon copy of 2003-07. Like clockwork every 1st of month was positive...a high percentage of OpEx's were as well. OTOH, even during the raging bull market of 1999-2000, there wasn't the same level of predictability with regards to 1st days of the month. It's just an auto-pilot type of...

It's completely spot on. Meanwhile, the circle jerk of do nothing's will fire 1,000 Jose's if it means they can continue with those golden parachute's unabated.
