It was before my time, but I recall hearing stories from the old timers about a failure in silver. There were two or three failures in futures fairly close to each other as in only a year apart or so. The key lesson I learned was the regulators always made an announcement after every failure...

So I run across an article about dating that includes this quote: WTF!? I may have asked one friend on one occasion when I was a lad, but no more than once. Certainly never "terrorized". And sure as #@*& never even asked after I graduated from college. I wasn't a Don Juan in school, but...

Too many are already riding on the gravy train. Admittedly, not riding in style like our FNM buddies, but riding none-the-less. It's kinda funny how much of a success America is (boy is that gonna piss off the libtards LOL), even at things that don't work. Take socialism. Fails everywhere...

Nutmeg and I got into a spot of trouble when we were excessively mischievous wee lads of but 8 and 10. We were always getting into trouble and our parents knew if any mischief occurs in their town, the two of us were probably involved. Our mothers heard that a preacher in town had been...

Among many other problems is this simple yet impossible to overcome obstacle. There's NFW the politicos are going to give up the power to punish certain behaviors and reward others that they get from a complex tax code. NFW. Not now, not ever. It's much more likely that Elvis will land his...

They face a world of hurt. Much has been made of the Baby Boomers here in the States. While it is true that this generation is significantly larger than the previous one, the following generations are approximately the same size. We do not have a bubble in population across age as many...

If voters keep sending people to DC who want to keep adding to the debt a trillion bucks at a time, the fed has to keep printing it.

Yikes. My friends and I were all the college bound kids, most of us smashed our ACTs so well that we received scholarships. None of us studied that much. To be fair, a number of us were found in the computer lab for many hours, but we did not study that much. We may have averaged an hour a...

No answers from the left, eh? What made America great? Not even the usual bilge of stealing land from Indians, enslaving blacks, not letting women vote, taking money from the poor, stealing oil from Iraq, etc? Not even an attempt, feeble and obviously wrong as it might be?

LOL. Wanna see some group get slaughtered? Have them start proposing real cuts. Naw, we've painted ourselves nicely into a corner and we'll not be walking on that paint until we start experiencing some real discomfort. We're not ready yet.

Yeah, but it was too good of an opportunity to play the ol' Foghorn Leghorn clip. What a great character - they don't make `em like that any more. "I say that boy. . . I say that boy's `bout as bright as a sack a' hammers." LOL. Foghorn Leghorn: Let me guess, dearie. You're looking for a...

Sure it can. Actually, population growth can have a negative correlation with economic growth. Too many liberals and other assorted deadbeats end up being a drag on growth rather than helping it along. However, one can make the case that one needs production gains to support economic ones.

That is *exactly* what I was thinking. Kids these days sure have it good. Why when I went to school (5 miles uphill both ways through snow all year `round) the teachers *never* did this.

"What is Best way to play the downside" Go long. Have you seen this thing? #*&@, the Arabs could all get the bomb and nuke half the West and all of Israel - and we'd be up 15% on all the great rebuilding opportunities that were just created. The One could announce new capital gains tax...

Yeah, QE1 didn't "magically solve our problems." Nor did QE2. But now the charlatans are saying QE3 will. The same losers who said QE1 would solve our problems and QE2 definitely would solve our problems are now starting to tell us that . . . well, QE3 is what we really needed. There's no...

Cuz we need another one. Duh. QE1. Then QE2. And soon QE3. But oh, the others worked according to loonies. Just not well enough. And how many trillions of QE are enough before the krazy kensians admit failure? 5? 10? 100? It's hard to image just how much a trillion...

Well the first one didn't work. And the second one didn't work,. But what the heck maybe the eigth one will. Or the twenty-second. I mean, Japan almost has it figured out. Maybe. That's only another 10 more years of on-again, off-again QE. Then we can be in the same great shape they are.
