    Legitimate Question About Buffet's Contrary Public Statements A Week Apart

    I think ASusilovic is actually sharper than Buffet. Buffet got lucky as he bought Coke and ice cream companies after WWII, when America offered an endless opportunity of profit and growth. Let's see how the old man fares now, excepting cases like Goldman Sachs, where he got the government...

    Bill Maher mocking Glenn Beck

    Has Limbaugh kicked the illegal Oxycontin habit he was paying his hispanic housekeeper to smuggle for him? For the record, I'm a true libertarian, and think all drugs should be legalized, and that the war on drugs is a sham and a means to make more money for jail builders, police, etc., but...

    Why did the US send so much work overseas?

    yes - most of the job creation has come from government and health care, even while there's been a net loss of jobs. Now, health care and local units of government are softening. This whole recovery, let alone a V shaped recovery is a fairy tale Goebbels would be proud to lay claim as his...

    Legitimate Question About Buffet's Contrary Public Statements A Week Apart

    Saw this on another forum and it got me thinking. Bloomberg ran a piece today where Buffet said he was a "buyer of U.S. equities," yet just last week, he announced he was "a seller of U.S. equities," and that he was going to be buying more government and corporate bonds. Can anyone explain...

    Why did the US send so much work overseas?

    When will the U.S. begin seeing new jobs created, net? What industries will they be in? What will the pay structure and benefit structure be like? Most green shoot assholes on CNBC have no f*cking interest in telling people how bad things are ALL ACROSS the U.S. because they're either...

    Say it ain't so...

    In other words, Bernanke has waited as long as possible to make this incredulous claim, because the government shell game of "confidence" can buy, at most, one or two more months of rigged data (the Cash for Clunkers "success" is a perfect example), before they can't hide the STD warts of this...

    Why did the US send so much work overseas?

    One of the biggest costs associated with exporting our factories that you rarely hear people mention is that the country to which they're sent get patents and other technological transfers that may have been the result of years or decades and billions of $$$ in R&D. This is how you can tell...

    U.S. Credit Contracting at Depression-Like Rates

    A massive chunk of the money forwarded by the taxpayers (involuntarily, by Paulson, Bernanke, Geithner, et al.) to banks and financial firms has been used to recapitalize asset depreciation and loan losses, and this is an ongoing process, and will probably continue for years. These monies are...

    U.S. Credit Contracting at Depression-Like Rates

    I've been saying the dollar bears have it wrong, and that much of the money being created, through treasury sales or 'quantitative easing,' is being destroyed into vapor-space. Cash will be absolute king again, and the USD is going to strengthen tremendously as other nations' economies have...
