"Catastrophe Fatigue" has set in...

That went zipping thru one ear and out the other. Olias agrees with Ivy League economists who most likely would also agree that precious metals are not a suitable hedge for currency devaluation.

And then like a true dumbass you moved to Chicago.

I suppose we shouldn't be surprised that some completely brainwashed kid from New York would be entirely supportive of Bubble Ben. After all, the main beneficiaries of this flawed policy are NY and DC. The defensiveness of the recipients is understandable. They want to deflect as much...

btw, in case anyone ever doubted the fact that the Fed completely orchestrated the housing bubble as an "out" after the dot.com bubble blowout. Check out the latest sickening NAR commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaHS_YXct9E Does it get any more desperately blatant than that...

You're right about one thing..You are in agreement with alot of other economists who have precisely "half a brain". FWIW, Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman don't have an original thought between the two of them. Of course, you could have mentioned the likes of Jim Rogers, Marc Faber, Nassim...

Thanks to Larson, Tsing Tao and El Cubano for keeping the sanity. I'm finished with debating Olias or this newest stooge/shill SCI New York. It should be pretty obvious that anybody employed in the F.I.R.E. sector of the economy will be a de-facto Bernanke bootlicker. Just as any union...

You are too stupid to realize you just constantly talk in circles. According to you, AMT is completely full of shit, so why even posit the question of "why are we attacking ourselves".

You've been talking out your ass this entire thread.

lol, the true hallmark of a cocksucker. You lose the argument (in a big bad fucking way) and then come back with your pithy little comments about once being a market maker. Like it's a big deal. You remind me of that giant douchebag, Landis. Everything Hydroblunt has said is...

Sorry, but that does not account for all the incidental taxes that make up the day to day expenses of the average Joe. It's a perfect diversion though. We can cite a less onerous federal tax burden, all the while they tax away on everything else.

Yeah, just more PR garbage that we always hear when they move towards this totalitarian state. Ricter keeps asking about how we pay for this stuff. Why not ask why we've had umpteen various "fringe" taxes added on in the past 20 years and we're still broke. All those cigarette taxes...

AMT, You forgot the toll fees which were purposely created to fund highway and tollroad maintenance. The typical bullshit about being rescinded once the toll was funded never occurs. Instead it becomes another cash cow and crony slush fund to blow on more excess spending.

The next time these bullshit artists do their whole song and dance about fuel efficient vehciles as a defense against soaring gas prices, just read this little tidbit of hypocricy. "Concerned that increasingly fuel-efficient vehicles will reduce revenue from current gasoline taxes, state...

They are simply told what to say and do. Our economy is nothing more than a chronic asset inflation scheme, one after the next.

For all the detractors, Hydroblunt is absolutely correct as are the few others who have repeatedly made mention that the physical market is severely divergent with the "paper" market. He's also correct that some of these prices that you are seeing for the product will likely result in very long...

I agree. The only thing I can compare this to in recent memory was crude oil back in 2008. Just the sharpness of the move and the percentage declines. Where I also see similarities is that almost everybody is buying on the way down. Whereas on the way up I just saw skepticism, kind of par...

That's racist!

Question for you two guys: Any word of mouth as to whether these dealers are even making immediate delivery? I've heard and read about many instances where people lock in prices but the delays are immense (currently). This has gotta be one of the all time biggest cognitive dissonance...

I like those stories. Really, a guy could trade a handful of times a year putting on those outlier puts and take the small hits simply due to the fact that the one home run more than makes up for all of the smaller losses. Of course, you have to find the right market for it, which is an art...
