Honestly, if I thought people were interested, I'd contribute many dollars and much of my time in participating in a movement to make tax reform the single biggest issue in the upcoming elections. The message would be very simple and stark to all politicians - either institute a reasonable...

Well, the financial meltdown is looking pretty ominous, for starters. I wasn't lecturing anyone, including you, about the wisdom of your posts. I was stating that to the degree you were making a serious assumption, it was a shot in the dark. No harm, no foul. I don't take differences in...

Welcome to the rabbit hole.

I'm in good shape, old man. Pabst asked a legit question, and you made the wrong ASSumption. You should be too old and wise to make the stupid statement you do. Get over your bitterness.

Yep. Value investors have gotten absolutely slaughtered, especially trying to catch any bottom in financials.

Another Sucker Punch Sunday September 14, 2008 http://jasonkelly.com/ It's another sucker punch Sunday in the making. Aren't these exciting? Weekends used to be so boring, just sitting around and relaxing. Not anymore. Now they're a thrill-a-minute as we all await the latest crisis and...

We better get our heads out of our collective asses and pull together here. Things are looking ominous. From Dallas to Detroit, and New York to Seattle; from Santa Fe to Kansas City and Tampa to Toledo.

This is surreal. We're all witnesses to unbelievable times.

Be leveraged on the upside, and you'll swear upon your life that G_d himself is smiling upon you. Be leveraged when the party stops, and G_d himself can't save you.

You have to remember that less than 1/1000th of the population in biblical times could read and write (only high priests and the ruling class were taught these rare skills). The bible is a collection of stories that would allow those who could read to explain relatively complicated and abstract...

There's no mark-to-market for this shit they have on their books, and no one wants to risk their own mark-to-model not knowing what the hell is going to happen with all the systemic risk the big institutions have, so maybe they will let Lehman fail just to show they aren't going to backstop...

Forget what nutcase far right pundits and spinmeisters are saying, or that Fay Buchanan (how she can say what she does with a straight face is remarkable - that personality is more important than a grasp of facts and knowledge: hats off to you, Fay, you sell-out whore) - It is nothing short...

Damn this woman is rock stupid. If she and 'Gramps' McBush are elected, the world will give up on the United States for good.
