This Depression is just beginning

Quote from monty21:

S&P rallies over 1,000 and you guys are talking about a depression?

75% of S&P 500 earnings beat (even w/ lower estimates). Economic releases have been generally positive. Pending Housing Sales are up over 3%.


I believe 6 out of the 8 biggest rallies in history occurred in the midst of the Great Depression.
 
Quote from Clubber Lang:

Because the banks, brokerages, hedge funds, and most importantly, the government know they have 16 months to jack the shit out of the market before this crap hits it again.

In other words, run the hell out of the market to absurd levels so when it crashes again, it's "only" back to where it was in the summer of 2009 (right now).

Not a bad scam.

Clubber, I don't know whether to laugh or cry?!?! I think to some degree you are correct! Will it be sooner than 16 months? I think BLSH and you have the right idea - this isn't going to end "pretty!" For those schleps (sic) who follow the MSM (whether it leans "left" or "right") they are sadly mistaken!!! I do know this...this fantasy world WILL END...those unprepared will perish...whether slowly or quickly...I don't know!

It is mind boggling that the government is trying
to give more power to the FRB.

They are the primary source of the boom
and bust cycle, and never ending bailouts.

We will be looking at a "1984" type society
if we keep giving these scumbags more power,
all in the name of "protecting the taxpayer".

Any more protection, and we will be in the
bottom of a slaveship.
 
BlSh,

What do you want inscribed on your tombstone?

:D

PS: Just to be clear this is all in good fun. No threat intended.

It's truly okay.

I'm not easily offended, despite my penchant for standing firm on my positions, and even engaging in hand to hand combat when challenged inappropriately.

On my tombstone....hmmm.

How about

Brilliant Idea.

You are making some assumptions though. You think that for a family of 4, $5256 is a small amount each year. Guess again. There are tens of millions of people who just can not pay. So, that $3.6 has to be revised to $5 per person at the very least, so $7300 per year. Now that is what the cost is for sending 2 kids to a nice private school in many nice suburbs.

Even after squeezing this money from the people, we will have that $2T, but that is just the deficit from one year, who will pay for the accumulated deficit? Who will pay for the Taxes now for this $2T and for those $12T that is already accumulated.

And the money that people will give in Taxes, will squeeze the economy since people will not be spending that 7K per household for 5 long years.

meanwhile, there will be even bigger deficit next year...






Quote from ivanbaj:

What if we all agree on a 5 year temp tax at $3.6 per day for all men, women and children in the US? Will that solve the problem?

304,000,000 x 5 x 365 x 3.60 = $1,997,280,000,000

If we stick with 90% of the taxes paid by 10% of the top earners the bottom 50% will hardly pay anything.

This will be easier to pay than a car loan.

Dow 9200-9700 is the window for putting on the paper-based-asset shorts. Paper based assets of all currencies, with heaviest concentration in USD-based. No specific currency is safe, until it is. The one shorting exception is equity of miners, which can be accumulated. Which brings us to the flipside. The same window is for getting long the metals, oil, ags, and other physicals. The trick here is to either take physical possession or trade only those instruments that allow taking physical delivery, like (some)futures contracts. Sorry, ETFs do not qualify.
...
There you have a it. A positional game plan, good through AT LEAST the end of the year, with maximum risk of 500 dow points from entry or average price. For position trading (with volatility on the horizon), not unreasonable, and if you know what you are doing, that risk can be reduced substantially.
...
Now then, if someone hasn't reminded you lately, do your own due diligence, honor your predetermined trade management, and never ever buy or sell instruments that you do not fully understand.
...

Let the games begin! :p :cool:
