Quote from Max E. Pad:

I care too, or i used to, fact of the matter is Romney wouldnt have been able to change shit, he is spineless, we need a real leader like Cristie to get thigns done. The government has been systematically destroying America for decades so given the fact that we are facing a "damned if you do, damned if you dont" scenario, we may as well try to profit from it.

But Mav is largely correct that another 4 years of ZIRP and more "can kicking" is probably going to return the markets to a ghost town of zero volume HFT churn.
 
Quote from achilles28:

Christie licked boots when his State needed a bailout. Not exactly a hardliner.

Exactly. The guy that would do the "heavy lifting" could not get an endorsement from the party heads if his life depended on it.

Too many payoffs, bribes, lobbyist scum to wade thru for a principled individual to gain the nomination.

Volatility should pick up around 2015 = 120% Debt to GDP. After that, it's all gravy. They can't keep a lid on it.

I suspect chatter about nationalizing private retirement accounts around that time...(or the forced investment in Treasuries).

I think we're in agreement the country is done. It's funny, I talk to intelligent, accomplished types, and they see no limit with the debt. Hey, we've got exports ! China won't jeopardize their export market ! haha. anyway.

Yea, that's already been floated by Congressional committees. Similar to Argentina. Next, a gold confiscation or ownership ban. Then capital controls. NDAA is alive and well. It's all good

Yes, the Argentina route.
 
I wasn't under any illusion Romney would turn it around. It would have been nice to watch him twist the knife on the 99 percenters tho lol
