Where is SandySHILLdog?

It is rather amazing to witness.

Sounds like you have a date with Rosie Palms?

Of course. I also thought it was interesting that the spiggots went "wide open" the day BAC broached the psychological $5 barrier. But I'm just a "wingnut". It's comical that we've lived thru this stupidity umpteen times in the past decade and all the usual indicators line right up when...

It's because they inflate or encourage the "risk on" trade UNTIL oil prices become problematic. This is about the third or fourth time now that the markets have done a stairstep climb higher until oil started to scream higher. Without oil (read gas prices), we'd be many trillions more into...

Indeed.

Nobody has to add you to THEIR ignore list, nor remove you from THEIR buddy list.

These are unprecedented times. There is no roadmap whatsoever for whatever course we are currently on. I heard comparisons to the 1970s a few years ago, but those analogs have been completely abandoned. Of course, the 1930's is a popular comparison as well, but I can't buy much into that as...

Normalcy bias and hopium are a lethal combination. It's always important to remember that 95% of the population doesn't "want the bad news".

So gas prices as 2008 levels while housing prices are back to about year 2000 levels with zero interest rates (i.e. no interest income), 46 million on food stamps,central banks flooding the market place with artificial liquidity (to buy another day or month of "normalcy"). These are facts...

You're trying to have a debate with a group of pollyanna's. Unfortuantely, I suspect that there is no limit to just how much "printing" is required to try and validate that the economy is somehow improving. (in their minds) It buys a few months of luke warm econ stats at the expense of more...

Hence, one of the million reasons why the answer to every economic problem, is to blow another asset bubble. Ultimately, that's about all they've got. Even with all the subterfuge in getting interest rates/mortgage rates down to record lows, it's had negligible effect on a national basis...

More spin.

That's part of the problem of these liquidity driven markets...it's much easier to cherry pick the positive aspects of any econ data and say "see the market is reacting to a positive economic outlook". The truth is every pundit on tv was talking recession last fall. Then the Fed, ECB, BOE open...

Sounds like a Woody Allen joke.:D

I believe it was once called the Robbins World Cup of Trading last I heard about it in the late 1990's. It was heavily advertised in Futures Mag back then with full page ads.

Now it makes sense. You're probably under the age of 30.

Jake is a classic "instigator". He gets his kicks trolling with that satirical shit about being the most pro-Israel guy on the board. Since it's such a sensitive topic, the threads attract the usual suspects and he gets all the attention he is seeking. wrt to Olias...I suppose it's easy to...

this cpgroupman has the identical m.o. to Olias.

See if you can find that Vanity Fair article written by Michael Lewis about the California debacle. He interviewed Arnold and discusses the impossibility of getting his spending cuts through.
