Ok, I'll change it to ALL, if that makes you happy. The reason I said most is because it's not entirely clear where to draw the line between the decision speculators make based upon the implied moral hazard. i.e. we've been operating under this implied moral hazard for so many years now that...

You must be too dumb to realize that ALL YOU EVER DO is argue in favor of continued intervention. What else would you call your incessant arguments in favor of "fighting deflation". Have you no shame?

That's an obtuse statement Martin. The market does not exist in a vacuum, most of the distortions are the direct result of central bank intervention. Hence, we can not conclude the "market is always right" without the pretext of the central banks influence in distorting the market's ability to...

Agree with all of the above. Guys like Kassz are the typical braindead central planning fanboys. They argue for continued intervention, but never admit to the fact that all of the intervention is required by the same institution that caused the majority of the problems in the first place...

I'm fairly confident that some backroom deals here in the USSR were arranged to keep them in place. Eventually all the big multi-nationals will play the "threaten to leave" game and not just a particular state, but the country as a whole. The exemption list will grow accordingly and this...

I take it that you are posting from the insane asylum...literally...

I work very hard at what I do (I only trade here and there nowadays after starting with it 15 years ago). Instead, I'm a small biz owner so I do have a good pulse on the economy at large. I just don't like the sort of surface level anecdote's about other's achievements, without any real...

Ah, I see that you were so worked up that you decided to edit your worthless post. I'm not at all prejudiced against "Latinos", but I do know that the area you speak of is largely illegal immigrants. Like the rest of your infomercial pitches, you count on an ignorant reader to buy into these...

Yeah, good idea, buy a property in Round Lake, IL, home to mostly illegal immigrants who have minimal employment prospects. It's 2011, not 2001, sorry but you are out to lunch.

To do that sort of thing you either have to be experienced in the trade itself or be connected to people that can do the rehab work at reasonable prices. It's simple business sense, but most people don't seem to possess it. i.e. why would you go out and buy a bunch of properties to rehab and...

You are a genuine crackpot, in every sense of the word. You have yet to answer most of the questions posed by people who have a sense as to how business actually works. Instead, you continue to pour on the fantastical details of this rags to riches story as if you were a paid spokesman for...

Well, every day, week, month more and more people literally "fall off the map" due to unemployment and rising inflation. Since the states (many states, not all) are in such financial distress, it's simply a matter of time before the public sector gets the axe in a meaningful way. Want to...

Sorry to interupt this fantasy, but WE ALREADY DID HAVE IT in 2008 and guess what happened? Yeah, you guessed it, we got the "hope and change" campaign, so I fail to see how $6 per gallon gas will change a damn thing.

Cause it was an April Fool's joke. We didn't make that clear enough for you in this thread?

It's beginning to sound like McDonald's, in conjunction with their PR announcement of 50,000 jobs in one day, has also put to work a group of paid shills like Neenissti (registered last month I might add) to spin this fairy tale along. Hydroblunt is right, there are far too many gaping holes...

That's how it works. It's also why this theory that somehow hyper inflation will miraculously lift the values of housing nationwide is a complete myth. If one essential is rising, then one discretionary will take the hit. The Fed's ability to channel inflation into "good inflation" while...

To expand upon what you said above...the assumed returns of 8 percent a year (that's what I've heard widely quoted) is another part of the problem. I'd love to see how this is even a remote possibility with the sums of money we're talking about AND with treasuries yielding a small fraction of...

We have a multi-billion dollar industry in this country called "Public Relations". In fact, I'm convinced that is one thing we do in this country better than anybody in the world. We have mastered the art of bullshit.

That's assuming a significant percentage of the long term unemployed are, in fact, EMPLOYABLE. Most of them are not, especially for the type of work required in fast food prep, etc. On their feet 8-10 hours a day, interacting with customers. It's not a good job, but it doesn't mean it's easy...

And the banks will pass on these costs to their dwindling number of depositors. Behind the scenes bailouts will continue unabated if/when this political stunt is pulled to set up the "20 billion dollar" recuperation fund or whatever they will call it to fool the sheeple. Both parties are...
