Quote from bxptone:

Live in NYC, staying in Patterson/Carmel NY for now. I guess NYC is doing better then most because I thought things weren't that bad, until today.

Don't really wear jewelry anymore, so went to pawn a gold necklace today. I get into the parking lot (small store) and there were several cars. Being a concerned with my image as I am, I'm like great all these people are going to be in there buying diamond earings, laughing at this guy pawing his chain lol. Well I get in there, there's 5 people in the store. ONE, is actually buying, then there's me and 2 ladies that were selling jewelry. And another lady that saw my necklace and was wondering how much I thought I would get for it! lolol. Guess she was getting ready to unload too. All at 1030am on a beautiful Saturday spring morning. Not a great sign. And it didn't seem as if they were selling these items because gold and commodity prices or so high, seemed more like they needed to sell.

A really sad situation this so called, great country is in. I guess it is great in the sense of the beauty of the land and all it's resources. But dam, to get to where we are now? It's full of and run by, the stupidest dam people to ever walk the earth.

And recession, no recession, WHO F'IN CARES ABOUT A WORD, You have people, several million people in bad financial situations. You now have people struggling to put food on the table, you have gas prices rising to obscene levels. We don't need gov't numbers to tell people how THEIR lives are or what they can or cannot afford.

Because you felt terrible, does that mean we officially have a recession?

Why dont you wait till Wednesday when the GDP numbers come out and than we'll talk about it.

Please Hedgie, your responses to everyone is "i hope you got crushed today on your shorts and burn in hell". You try and come off as the level headed guy but you are no better than any of us when it comes to responses. People have told you many times, myself included, that we trade BOTH sides of the market and are not doom and gloomers yet you still respond with the remarks about us losing our shirts shorting blindly like fools.

Ha. You insult yourself and reinforce my opinion with that answer.

Quote from nyxtrader:

I highly doubt this. Do you understand that you have ZERO substance backing your statements?

Why do you have to run and hide? Don't be scared, you can come out of the closet(no pun intended).

What state are you in?

I am always out of the closet, being accused of making too many posts now. Run and hide from cowards like you? You are the one who has zero substance and 100% personal attacks.

Are you so lonely that you have to go out on the Internet and pick a fight with strangers?

are you kidding me??? This is ALL that you do!! What other point is there to all your inane threads about bulls pushing a white candle up and shorts getting crushed if not to antagonize others. THis is what you DO, you pick fights with strangers. Dont be a hypocrite now.

Thought? Thats a matter of opinion not fact.

Why dont you wait till Wednesday and see the GDP numbers and decide ? Why torture yourself all day long?

I'll tell you what, I'll wait if you'll wait.

Translation no posts, comments or arguments about recession until after GDP release.

Oh one question though, you used to be day----now you go by hedgefundtrader (?) but you were answering posts with BOTH of these handles, were you trying to be sneaky?
