Best Santelli Rant in a while..

Quote from Martinghoul:

Precisely... That's why I don't (go on live TV, that is). I have no doubt that I would be certainly boring and probably incoherent.

It's a skill to be able to "create" entertaining, interesting TV. It's an entirely different skill to take and manage risk, especially macro, especially now. That's why if you watch people like Dalio or Tepper (just as examples), they don't really make very interesting TV and, occasionally, it's even cringeworthy. However, I would prefer to listen to them, rather than Rick Santelli, any day.

And now we've gone full-circle, as that's been my point all along.

I wouldn't let you off the hook that easy. LOL. You could say that about ANYBODY on TV. So that makes the focus on Rick irrelevant. I doubt you watch Fast Money, but last Thursday Dr. J was responding to a question about Gold and I couldn't believe my ears when he called all the longs who got stopped out pussies!!!!! I kid you not, he actually said that live on the air. It just came out. But that's the nature of live TV when there is no tape delay. For Rick it's even harder because he gets like a two minute segment and and sometimes the question to him itself takes up 1:30 which leaves him little to no time to respond or even say exactly what he had scripted to say. Surely you understand this Martin as I'm sure your IQ is above average. When Rick has had longer segments to talk, for example when he is live in the studio and gets to spend two hours on the air, you get a much more subdued Rick where he has time to articulate his thoughts much more.
 
Quote from Ricter:

So at the end of the day, Santelli was predicting runaway inflation, but now claims he never meant inflation, but volatility... ?

That's not at all accurate. But feel free to profess understanding without listening to the exchanges.

Yeah I'm not really sure what Martin's beef is. I mean Rick does change the dialogue from day to day depending on who the guest is on air and depending on what the news of the day is but I think his message has been pretty consistent overall and I think that the message is that the Fed is NOT achieving what their stated goal is and that the actions of the Fed are producing unintended consequences which they may or may not be able to reverse. Only time will tell.

My comment was to Ricter. The only thing I got out of Martin's 20 or so posts was that he doesn't like to watch Rick. *shrug* Ok, it's certainly his TV set.

So Santelli said Weimar-style inflation was "gestating",

but today he says he didn't mean inflation.

It's complicated Ricter. Might be over your head. But there are short term consequences, medium term consequences and long term consequences to the Fed's action and all three of these things are different. You are better off hanging out on the Trayvon Martin threads Ricter, I don't want you to drown over here. :)

One of the great things about predicting human misfortune is that, keep at it long enough, and you'll get something right.

Once again, it is quite obvious you didn't even listen to the old video or the new ones, but are just yapping out of your ass.

Santelli said Weimar style inflation didn't happen over night. He compared it to planting soybeans, where you planted and then waited. Once conditions were right, it began to grow.

And "today" is said the same thing - when and if conditions are right, massive amounts of dollars released from reserves could cause very painful inflation. None of that is incorrect, as much as you might want it to be.

Oh, it's definitely over his head. I've gone down this road before with him, he cannot see beyond his nose on this stuff.
