Weekly Market Notes: Bye Bye Bernie

Wow, this is some pretty severe nitpicking! Oops, I would not want someone to remind me that nitpicking originally refers to the tedious process of removing headlice and should not be used to describe financial tedium.

Global Meltdown, Part III

I am duly corrected and you are right!

Global Meltdown, Part III

Let me finish your story for you - "Dogs and cats sleeping together, mass hysteria" - From the movie "Stripes".

Your a little heavy on the pending apocalypse, but I think we do have further to fall. My brother also falls into the same category - the "end of the world is coming" bear. Heck, I am bearish too, but if we get this bad why even invest. You would be better off buying an old nuclear bunker in Idaho and holing up for the next few years. Will things get worse - yes, but I doubt we are going to see the end of American democracy, modern industrialism and capitalism. These are great times for those that can see beyond the bullish diatribe that the press floats out there, but people have been betting on the end of the world for ever and nobody has collected on that bet yet. My brother too is talking about "civil unrest" and the coming gangs of marauders, but if it gets that bad, betting on the direction of any market or commodity is worthless. If you truly believe in this scenario, you should be stocking up on soup cans and Uzi's.
