Doolittle was a great album. Over 20 years ago now. As good as Debaser was, still like Monkey's Gone to Heaven, Here Comes Your Man and a few others. They definitely influenced alot of other bands of that era as well.

You have to hope at least some of them are paying attention to this sinking dollar. Is Obama delusional enough to believe that if Oil heads towards $200 and gas costs $7-$8 per gallon that he will have a prayer in hell? Hate to break it to the Obama fanboys, but the main reason he was...

If I'm not mistaken another game changer occured on a Christmas holiday back in 1913.

Sure, one can take a snapshot at a moment in time and argue that the dollar isn't being actively devalued, but that's a bit disingenuous. This flawed concept of permanently excluding certain commodities from core inflation is causing riots around the world. It's one thing for the price of...

Yes, a "stealth" devaluation. Painfully slow, although in recent weeks, it seems more people have picked up on it and are putting in their vote of no confidence. I'm convinced that if these hacks did not have to answer to the plebs and their outcry over $5.00 gasoline, nothing would stop...

Alot of traders get their heads all screwed up micro-managing trades in instruments that are inherently chopping and very forgiving for their impulsive "need to fade moves" mindset. It's why most guys who've spent too much time churning stocks for quick bucks or trading stock indicies are...

Rubin, Summers and Greenspan. Even in 1999, during the height of bubble-mania and optimism in this country (I doubt we'll ever see consumer sentiment at those levels again in any of our lifetimes), I knew that the repeal of Glass-Steagall would be a fatal mistake. The one thing that...

It's more than a bit surreal that we continue to be spoon fed these "gestures" towards reform as we are in the midst of another episode of a rush to hard assets. Gold at $1500, silver at $45 and oil (gas prices) back near the 2008 highs. Per usual, everything is managed on the fly, there...

$147 per bl in mid 2008 down to $37 per bbl in less than six months... 2+ years later and we will probably be above that $147 soon enough. Regardless of the cries for a "free market", to me there is enough of an argument towards this being a real racket. At the same time, the cost of...

There was a long while prior to the "financial crisis" of 2008 where thoughts or opinions such as they were really considered outlandish and conspiratorial. It wasn't until people witnessed firsthand the depths of the kleptocracy that it finally started to turn public sentiment more towards...

Right, they will only assist when a person/family is flat broke. This way they have complete control over that segment of the population. When election time comes around, they make some noise about the Republicrats "cutting essential social services" which scares the shit out of the wards of...

I'm stunned; something we can both agree on.

Beg to differ, HFT's provide the "appearance" of liquidity, while the Fed provides the actual liquidity.

And you really believe that this current generation has the same work ethic of generations going back 30-40 years. Not to mention the fact that illegals doing the backbreaking work isn't something recent, it's been going on for quite awhile now. I should also mention that the type of...

Just do some research on the thug they elected, Kwame Kilpatrick for insight into what a complete shithole that city has become. Reading thru the list of charges against him and his top aides made for some real WTF reading. The sad reality is that there are quite a few other cities moving...

Kudos to the guy who figured out AK Forty Seven is a reincarnation of that welfare queen, Range Rover. The posting pattern confirms it as well, with a month long hiatus before resuming her duties as the PR wing of the sinking ship known as the current administration. Did you do a month...

You are so completely right, yet most people never look at this situation from a business owner's perspective. The idea that you could find even 10 in 100 college level kids willing to do alot of this work is optimistic. Most of these jobs are hard labor in extreme weather conditions...

Where is Krazykarl to call all of you guys "tin foil hatters"?

Considering that there is a great deal of subjectivity towards grading, I don't agree with this statement. I firmly believe that in the "old days" professors established a baseline for grading students, i.e. C is average and grade accordingly. At private schools, the percentage of students...

I think that you are intermingling real business ideas ala Altucher with finance and the dichotomy between the opportunities in each field are a wide chasm. Real world businesses with payrolls, input costs, etc, etc are definitely not wide open as the Fed's policies are directly beneficial to...
