But Mav is largely correct that another 4 years of ZIRP and more "can kicking" is probably going to return the markets to a ghost town of zero volume HFT churn.

Eventually the parasites will run out of hosts.

Yep. Central planning (which has been growing for more than decade) will be a permanent fixture in the markets.

Nevermind the 49 million on food stamps...many of whom were former middle class. (I actually hadn't looked at the number since it was around 45 million a year or so ago)...Looks like it's perfectly correlated with Bernank's QE to infinity efforts...

Absurd.

The "center" isn't even a possibility any longer. Hard decisions have to be made, the credit bubble ended (and begat the govt debt bubble)...but that "touchy feely" centrism of the 90's is a relic. Both sides are dug in and they aren't relenting. Logic_Man is basically right...there is no...

No chance of it. We've already reached the Bernank's "fuck it" moment and that just got us thru the first term. The debt has grown exponentially and we can hardly produce positive growth.

Good post, completely agree. Not enough people recognize that we are racking up loads of debt on teaser rates and that this is the SOLE reason that we have a preservation of some semblance of the status quo. That people actually believe the "economy" is recovering is almost frightening...

These guys aren't critical thinkers. They have as much depth as some platitude on a bumper sticker.

lol, that was brilliant. Seriously I should change it to a "LOL".

That's a valid concern. They might burn down cities when they don't see his name on the ballet in four years.

Riddler married into the family business. It explains why he is so eager to "give his money" away and play along as a good little commie.

Completely clueless, per usual.

Yes, you've summed it up very well. Somehow the "left" backed their way into the corner of the plutocrats with all of this self-rationalizing that there was a "greater good" towards debasing the currency and boosting asset prices. The society you speak of sounds very much like a few...

Exactly...but even I have my doubts that the "currency debasers" can get away with it for another 4 years.

I think you broke AK47's single day posting record...63 and counting and that was with your 4 hour nap. Did you "re-up" on the crystal meth?

The free markets lost years ago, Maverick. Don't kid yourself that it happened "tonight".

Nothing sad about it. It would be priceless to see equities collapse and humiliate that disgrace known as the Bernank.

You can't even get your fat ass off the couch.

Shit, the rabid sockpuppet is back again.
