We are at the start of another down leg, everyone knows it, you may not be seeing it as much in canada as their economy recovered quickly and certain areas like saskatchewan didnt even see the recession, but the sandp will be sub 1000 6 months from now.

I don't operate only in Canada. (That's part of the reason I did not respond to your other reply, as I just got back from Wyoming--Canada IS leftwing, despite Alberta, and Gabfly is not out of normal there). Anyway, sales are strong there, and in Texas too. The world is rebounding, and buying stuff. Thank goodness for the stimulus spending.

Now, I'll admit that the American consumer has a tough "row to hoe" ahead. They are comparatively tired of, or unable to participate in, consumption, and overall the country has not enough to bring to market. I hope Obama's export initiative, possibly already useless since he's appointed CEOs to head it, will improve that latter condition.

Well, perhaps it's time some of those unprecedented profits get taxed. I.

So you do believe it is a wise idea to raise taxes amidst this recession? LOL it is funny you are unwilling to say it outloud cause you know that the concept of raising taxes amidst a recession is a fools game.

Surging earnings as opposed to 2008 you fucking idiot, cause my earnings are up 300% from 1 dollar it does not mean the economy is booming, if you are to thick to understand the concept you do not belong in the market.

Why dont you put your money where your mouth is? If you think that what Obama is doing is good for the economy feel free to buy the piss out of the spys right now.

"...Hence, the 500's profits virtually returned to normal after years of extremes -- bubbles in 2006 and 2007, collapse in 2008 -- despite a feeble overall recovery that's far from normal..."

The 500's profits are back to normal. Normal. Wherever they may have been, they are back. So, yes, let's go pre-Bush normal on them.

I don't trade on the basis of fundamentals and, judging by your "thousands of trades a day," neither do you.
 
I feel like billy bob in this video... it is like dealing with a retard......are you fucking with me or what? because earnings last year were close to the earnings in 2007 you think that the economy is booming? Do you think earnings can possibly stay the same with 17% of the population unemployed/underemployed?

You're not even responding to my actual posts. Either that, or you have serious reading comprehension issues. I'll let you or your guardian decide which. In any event, you have a pre-defined narrative in progress. Forgive me if I'm not reading my lines as you had so thoughtfully scripted them for me and if your responses are therefore non sequiturs.
 
I'm not sure their mindset is so much a defect as it is a throwback. They tend to focus on life "as it is", ie. existence "red in tooth and claw", and not so much as it "ought to be", which is the human gift, clearly embraced by the progressives among us, albeit to various degrees of effectiveness. Who knows, the progressives may be to the right wing as homo sapiens was to the neanderthal.
 
OKAY!!! Thankyou... Some honest philisophical thought from a Socialist...

The thing is Ric, that how life "ought to be" is going to differ from individual to individual. There is not one collective "ought to be" authority. Each person should be free to persue their own individual "ought tos" so long as they can do so without infringing on the rights of others, which are outlined in the constitution...

As there are counless individuals with individual goals and aspirations. There can't be one single set of goals for everyone or have individual "ought to" conditions set forth for everyone by one single authority. That has been done in a variety of forms before. Communism, feudalism, etc.

The right wing essentially has place their faith, not in God, but in money and possessions. They long for a return to the two class system...the royals and the serfs. They think they will be members of the royals of course...they wish to regress back thousands of years where their mentality was in complete control, where there was no real democracy, no protections of rights of minority groups, women, children, and pure over the top selfishness and abuse of power by the lords of the realm...

If you ask a progressive what was the best time in America, they will say after FDR and the new deal, after civil rights legislation, after the labor unions gave balance and some power to the working man...

The regressive right wingers long to return to the days of slavery, no rights for anyone but white wealthy land owners, and slave or slave wage labor...

LOL!!! Yeah, "surging earnings" now that they use this new "ex items" method of reporting...

Quote from Gabfly1:

Discounted their earnings? What are you blabbering about? The article is about surging corporate profits. It has nothing to do with discounting earning streams. Corporate profits due in large part to the job cuts. Yeah, there's a cycle you want to propagate in its present form:

"...The gargantuan, dispiriting job cuts that seem to dominate the news have also been the spur for an epic resurgence in profits. For 2009, the Fortune 500 lifted earnings 335%, to $391 billion, a $301 billion jump that's the second largest in the list's 56-year history..."
