Let's face it. At this point, it's all one big shit show of front running and other illicit bullshit. I'm so far beyond cynical that I fully expect this crap at all times.

You guys do realize that the deciding factor in getting Obama elected was the "anyone is better than Bush" vote that swayed independents back in 2008. Aside from the die hard, Obama can do no wrong folks around here, everybody knows that he's already lost that segment of the voting block...

Face it, you were "Grand Supercycle" of 2007-09. Don't even try to insinuate that you were either out of the market or bearish because all of your posts are loaded with the defensiveness that only a perma-bull could possess. Never once heard you actually enter one of these trades or tell...

The key to earning high honors from any university in the US of A. Blame whitey for everything, make sure to always reference the "white man's burden" and his continued responsibility for all the world's sins.

Those numbers are so far off, I have to think you've completely lost your mind. Do you not understand that this economy literally RUNS off of all sorts of entitlement fraud and padding of transfer payments? Do you not realize that if all of these illegitimate substantive payments were cut...

It's why most of them are in an "all cash bidness". They make out like bandits that way; don't pay income taxes AND are able to collect all the bennies on top of it.

True, even though he is oblivious to all of it. Remarkably delusional.

Either of you guys in physical or are you just doing outrights?

Gas prices really will decide the election. It sound ridiculous, but it has become the ultimate thorn in the side of all incumbent politicians as they continue to support this reckless spending and ultimately weak dollar policy. As the group of actual beneficiaries of targeted asset...

He might be on too something when you consider that golf courses across the country are in such deep shit that you can literally pick up many of them for a song (it's the operating expenses that will literally kill an owner). Probably figures all the heavy lifting of clearing the land has...

You guys do realize the only reason this joker starts these journals is for Page Views. He's mentioned this many, many times. The only thing Surf cares about is that you pay attention to him.

That sounds like NYC or DC talk, which will become a very thorny issue over the next 18 months. They can spin this "recovery" myth all they want but even the dumbest of the dumb have begun to figure out that it's all inflation.

+1000 :D

Bin Laden was relevant in 2003-04 in so far as having maximum "consumer/voter" impact. In fact, the previous administration and the spec. community went to the "Osama is dead" rumor mill so many times that it's a non-starter at this point. Not to mention the fact that many people believe he's...

Not a bad idea, send all immigrants to Detroit. Why limit it to Detroit though, you've got a number of Rust Belt cities that are losing residents in a hurry. Still, it's an outside the box idea and shows some promise.

AK47/Range Rover is a classic racist.

I didn't phrase it accurately. I believe he is as culpable as anyone, although I'd throw as much of the blame on Rubin and Summers as well. There was a systematic dismantling of all the safeguards from The Great Depression during that late 90's early 00's that set the stage for this.

There is one common theme amongst all of the opinions. Namely, the fact that the repeal of Glass Steagall was a bad idea. We can all agree on that. It's also well known that at approximately the same time (perhaps 2 years after the 1999 repeal of Glass Steagall), Rubin, Summers and...

See that's the reason that pursuing this weak dollar strategy (even though they'll never admit to it) runs the risk of ruin. It's naturally going to drive up the price of commodities as it's telegraphed that they are targeting a reflation of all asset classes. So oil prices will rise...

I remember that well, especially the part about the oil being stored, which most certainly helped contribute to that 75% drop in prices in less than six months. But then, here we are three years later and all of that seems to have been forgotten. We're right back to this notion that it's all...
