Draghi said We haven't talked about helicopter money, said it's an interesting concept

S2007S · Apr 21, 2016

Ahhh just like Bubble Ben bernanke and now yellen the ECB is looking to copy the feds way of propping up asset prices ...yes so this means the ECB hasnt even started to prop up their worthless economy yet ....this is going to be fantastic... The sad part is that these other central banks actually believe that the helicopter money worked in our economy but little do they know that it's been a complete failure and in due time you will notice even more that the fed never saved anything, all they did was prop up asset prices to make it appear that there was growth and economic activity expanding when in reality all it was was a magic trick....an illusion....

what is it like to live your whole life, every waking moment in a constant state of negativity? Sometimes I think you don't even bother to check the facts. If it is positive you know you are against it it becuause you have programmed yourself to always be negative. And for good reason. Most positive things don't work out.

So how's that working out for you?

Loyek, take your pills...

Better advice is Loyek lay off that alcohol. Pills are a very poor substitute for pot. Especially home grown pot. At least then you get some say in how the medicine you take is produced.

Like the man said, "Give a man a net and he will probably get hung up. Give him a fish and if he is any kind of a man he will probably figure out how to breed it."

It all comes down to how you view man. And if you are like me, you figure almost everyone is better than me, or at least like me.

History is littered with people who thought they were better than me.

The "democracy" isn't in the voting: it's in the counting.

Relax my friend...it has nothing to do with negativity and more about the truth.... But you won't realize the truth until its directly in front of you and screaming out loud.....

ok, but until then, positivity is screaming out at me everyday. Everyday is more beautiful than yesterday. All the work is finally paying off. Once you set positivity in motian in your life it is hard to stop. And I suppose for somebody like you who is fixated on negativity once it gets started it must be a bitch to quit.
The facts are the same for all of us. Knee jerk reactions that the facts are always negative probably indicates a negative mental condidtion rather than a true understanding of the facts.
For a profitable trader, almost any set of facts presents a potential profit making opportunity.

So it begs the question Loyek...If you are such an enlightened positive spirit, then why are you wasting your time on someone else's perceived "negativity"...

Plenty of charlatans occupy this space of nothing but "positivity", but spend an inordinate amount of time bitching about other's perceived negativity.

I'm not really talking to that God forsaken loser who has some kind of chip on his shoulder personality and thinks all of his problems are somebody elses fault. I just use him as an example of what is wrong. Time? How do I waste time? I have time coming out of the Ying Yang. That's all I have is time, especially the way I trade now. 99.9999% of all life is now just spent waiting.

I just comment on mental states. I have always been a curious observer of what makes the perma bear tick. By nature I am very negative and almost constantly depressed, so I have to actually work at being positive, it certainly doesn't come naturally for me. But it would be even more unnatural to always go negative when so many good things have hapened to me.
