You Better Protect Your Ass

Quote from Trvlwanderer:

Nothing you will be able to do about it my friend.

Already have that boy mapped out. I know how to dodge his welfare games and redistribution BS. Bring it, Hussein.
 
Quote from PatrickQ:

thread reminds me, of the daily and monthly slow grind higher phenomenon as "we climb the Wall of Worry!"

Delusional thinking becomes delusional acts and causes economic agony.
 
Quote from ByLoSellHi:

Intense economic deterioration like I've never seen it.

. . . Like you've never seen it???

Tell me, how old are you?
Were you trading back in 1980-1982?
How about 1973-1974?

Hell no.

Trading in 1973 or even 1980??

You must be at least 55. That's not intended as an insult.
 
Quote from GermanTrader:

The masses are stupid and vote how they feel instead of what they know. They feel hurt over gas prices. They feel hurt we are still in Iraq. They don't care who it is, the masses will vote for anyone but a Republican this year.
Who are these masses anyway? Wall Street assholes who fucked the Main Street? Plus, unlike Wall Street money whores, some people actually have bigger concerns when it comes to elections than just how their money will be affected by the outcome.

Gawd, what a fucking morons!

Optimism. Pessimism. Realism. You can only use one.

A brief purview of the latest economic data gives all indications that we are going to have one mofo of a recession or even worse.

Come All Ye' Pollyannish, and dispel the economic demons with visions of dancing Goldilocks. If you do it, try to inject some realism into your reasoning.

This is just a smattering of the intensely troubling headlines as I glance at TODAY'S Bloomberg (normally, this much bad news would be in a 6 month run):
