Unfortunately, once these pols reach the highest office, they are so bought and paid for, that they can't help but screw things up. The way the system is set up with campaign financing and the "you scratch my back..." mentality, I don't believe that there is a candidate in the world that...

Jeb Bush is actually the best of the entire lot. I got the feeling that there was a very large "wedge" between he and his brother during the final years of the Dubya administration. Unfortunately, I just can't see Jeb overcoming the stigma attached to the family at this point. Eight years...

Looks like all the hopium sockpuppets found this thread to vote no. The "potential oil crisis" is simply icing on the cake to the walking, talking empty suit. Whenever confronted with what an abject failure this administration has been, the knee jerk response is "well, Bush...yada yada...

When the central banks flood the markets with liquidity, we seem to see VIX drop like a rock. Then the usual "routines" follow. The markets make alot of their gains close to open and trade sideways during the RTH. It looks quite a bit like the months following QE2.

spin, spin, spin.

Now THAT was a comeback. Might as well concede RCG...

Yes, socialism at the very top of the pyramid and the very bottom. It's not a novel concept and appropriately describes everything we've witnessed these past few years. The dwindling middle class bears the brunt of it via inflation and/or greater levels of taxation at the state level to...

We're on the same page, although I did get into a pretty intense argument on here a few months back when I argued the finer points of "crony capitalism" vs capitalism...or the notion of a kleptocracy. Unfortunately, somehow/somewhere, most of the right lost their principles and started...

Agreed. The politico's always want "to have one's cake and eat it too". They love to cheerlead the Dow, the S&P, some bogus economic statistics, but never want anybody to figure out exactly how all these things are occuring. I suppose many of them aren't even bright enough to connect the...

If/when the SPX can outperform crude oil, gold or silver (over a long enough sample), I'll be impressed. The sad reality is that most of the lemmings are stuck in mutual funds that they can't tap without a tax bite OR are hoping and praying that they can continue on this current trajectory...

Exactly. When all central banks are on the same page, it's misleading to look to one currency and draw conclusions. A few members on here have opined that crude is perhaps the actual currency, perhaps followed closely by gold.

Crude oil = kryptonite to politicians. Hopey may have just realized that the re-appointment of the Bernank will really bite him in the tail.

It's basically a carbon copy of what we saw following the announcement of QE2 back in the fall of 2010. Take a look at that chart, same thing.

I agree that the "talking over" style and the interruptions come off as rude and somewhat indifferent. Many times the guest will be talking about a sensitive topic and Morgan will shift gears suddenly and go to an entirely different topic and it can be awkward.

Appreciate your continued honesty in these threads. I'm in complete agreement about the HFT nonsense, even at the risk of being labeled a "whiner" as it seems to be the standard retort to anybody who calls this bullshit for what it is.

Be careful you might wind up on "SALLY"OHMS ignore list for saying anything positive about RP. Remember, RP is a "kook" and only "wingnuts" are in favor of him.

Christie did do a nice job of dodging the GM question in a remarkably professional manner. I've got to say that he is extremely "quick on his feet"; something sorely lacking in some of the other prominent Republicans. I was even inclined to believe his reply that he "needed more thought" on...

In case you hadn't noticed pspr, there are quite a few of us on Sally's list that aren't "libtards". Suffice to say, we sure as hell aren't neocon shills either. So you guys can circle jerk each other all you want about being "conservatives", but it's alot of hot air when push comes to shove.

Unfortunately, when the shit hit the fan it was his wife and partner that had to undo all of Jimbo's damage.

lol, what a frigging sally 377OHMS has become. I was going to warn The Dude of Life that his honesty would be rewarded with a reservation on "Sally's" ignore list.
