Michael Moore Kills Capitalism With Kool-Aid

Quote from baronkunt:

Don't forget to stop in the gift shop on your way out and buy the limited edition Jack Hershey paper trading doll to commemorate the only time he has ever gone on record.. a stellar 24% loss in a trading contest in 2002 that he didn't have the integrity to finish.. limit one per customer

Is the propeller on the cap battery operated? If so, I'd be interested in a couple. Thanks in advance. :)
 
Quote from jack hershey:

Trendfollowing and economics is not your forte. Probably, it is a matter of education and background. Michael Moore is a documentary film maker with a purpose to make money in that industry. You did a documentary as well that is in the form of a distributed DVD. The teasers, etc were typical of the whole production you did. What was it anyway?

My specific criticism is that you are out of your league in trendfollowing and economics. I have a basis for my criticism. My personal experience in these fields as a problem solver and specifically, removing non performers at EOP.

There is a difference between ideals and principles and the practices of people. There are very few whistle blowers on the current situation and there are fewer people who are capable of dealing with blown whistles.

It is important to use the self interests of principled people to solve problems of our culture. It can be done as for profit free enterprise or not-for profit help programs. The US does guarantee some rights as well.

You like anyone else are starting small and you are not able to continue without moving around from place to place. It is a quality assurance issue raised by your benefactors so far. If you are going to work a given turf, get educated first. If you can get educated by some reasonable standard, then operate from the pertinent principles only.

I have empathy for you. Many people see the books you publish.
your publishers are driven by potential book sales apparently. Michael Moore is selling a message that is constructed from an very incomplete fabric. You do the same.

Think of the financial planners who take money from people and give them advice. This group is under performing in regard to protecting clients. You do the same as they do topically. I know you do not see yourself as an authority of practicioner. But your products convey that you might know something about what you write about when in fact you do not.

Did you expect Prentice Hall to correct your manuscripts? Was your opjective to just make a hodge podge of trendfollowing by promulgating the myths of the financial industry? It looks like Prentice Hall accepted and published your stuff without a peer review process.

Trader's Monthly was short lived because it didn't have pithy content of anything really of substance. Conde Nast's Portfolio went the same route.

I was startled to read that you moved your money around recently. Do you tell people you move your money around?

Is this all the hot air you got?
 
please don't quote jack hershey, I've had him on ignore for well over a year and suggest everyone does the same. Who gives a shit what he thinks.

Moore is an absolute brilliant propagandist.
In the end though Bush still got elected, gun controls hasn't changed, health care still the same and he sure the hell isn't going to kill capitalism...

While its sad people would cheer this film the best response is to not see it and basically ignore it. No one will remember it a year from now.

Yeah, I had no idea who or what he was. I know there are some smart people in here, but clearly there are some mentally disturbed types too. What I especially love is when some of them start off sounding sane than the next thing you know they are going off about counting moon cycles or some other inane thing.

hey now, MC, there isn't much difference between moon cycles and your version of trend following now.

jah thinks a series of upmoves makes it more likely the next move will be up----- Moon boy thinks retrograde pluto makes GM go up. anecdotal evidence supports both, both fail when tested except when you ask astrophynance types who had the number one newsletter for predictions over the last decade. or JP mprgan who states millionaires dont use astro, billionaires do.

Jah walks on thin ice, MC, thin ICE

That is an idiotic statement.
 
After watching this, the conclusion drawn is that Moore wants regular American people to realize that with their vote they can really influence how things happen in Washington. However, since Ross Perot's campaign imploded in the early 1990s, there have only been two parties to choose from. Both parties take money from basically the same group of financial and special interest sources and also spend lavishly on pork barrel re-election projects in their districts.

Moore's hidden point might have been for common American people to use their votes to create a viable third party with the interests of the common man at heart.

Fair points. As I said in my review, I don't think Moore is a bad guy, just misdirected in a severe way.
