That Simon Hobbs is such a giant turd sandwich that I found myself in Cramer's corner, for the first time in more than a decade.

Rumor has it Gabfly is living in his basement and, on occasion, sneaks up to the computer in the wee hours of the morning for his daily "ET fix".

I think you've been drinking. Seriously, Achilles has been posting on here for years and the last thing I'd call him is a liberal.

I've followed a few of your posts in recent weeks. Can't help but notice you seem like another groupthink victim. The usual "Buffet is God", "gold is a bubble", "every dip is a buying opportunity" load of bullshit.

Dear Senile Old Fuck, You told all retail investors to get long last December or they'd be left behind until the middle or end of 2012. I don't ever remember your "sell order", just some bullshit about a "choppy market" which sure as hell doesn't constitute an exit. BTW, the market gave...

I guess Range Rover still hasn't figured out that Hopey McChange is about as popular as Jimmy Carter in 1979.

That's true. Each successive bailout required a greater commitment from central bankers and emboldened specs to take ever greater risks. It's also important to remember that LTCM occurred roughly 9 months to a year before the repeal of Glass-Steagall.

20 years ago maybe. Nowadays, you just morph into a highly leveraged hedge fund with the taxpayer as a backstop.

That may be true, but what has become most important in recent years is a voice that is not "captured" like the majority of mainstream media (especially in light of all of the conglomerate takeovers in media over the past twenty years).

Fair point. I'd answer that by saying they typically will play a populist angle that resonates with a core group of supporters..in some cases, it can cross party lines if it's an especially egregious issue. Typically, within a few months, they will do an about face on whatever campaign...

I agree. I suppose they could create a million jobs digging ditches. Then when that is completed, they could hire another million to fill in those ditches. Rinse and repeat.

Actually, the common man gets "taxed" while these corporations are making their "record profits". It's called currency debasement. A remarkably large percentage of those record profits require constant dollar devaluation, which in turn translates into higher energy, food prices and a lower...

You are scraping the bottom of the barrel now. I find it comical that the widely accepted "worst President in our lifetime", GWB, is now used as a baseline to try and rationalize the utter incompetence of our current stooge. Do you see the trend? Each election cycle we seem to vote...

It's all about winning an election. They know that these talking points "sell". If you haven't learned a thing about the same empty promises by each and every candidate in your lifetime, then there is no hope. Have you seen any of them ever follow thru on their campaign pledges?

Come on, stop being some politically correct. You already know the answer to that question.

This takes the cake as the most absurd thing that you have ever posted on here. Time for you to take a break.

The flipside to your rant is just as ugly. A bunch of bloated, liberal d-bags raking in big six figures while teaching students, at best a few hours a day...for what 7 or 8 months per year? Meanwhile, campuses just knock down buildings and re-build them, all the while jacking up the tuition...

It's true..about 4-5 years ago I began to notice that The Onion's obvious spoof articles were starting to sound more and more like the sort of PR fluff that was coming out of the gov. Especially during 2008 when every acronym ever invented was used to try and "bailout" the system.

Gayfly hasn't been spotted on here since the market started it's "correction", to put it lightly. Maybe he was "all in" on the Obama economic miracle.

I'm waiting for one of AK47's approval polls that miraculously shows a better than 50% approval rating. Is he busy Photoshopping it together?
