Dump George Soro. We should follow a real capitalist, Sarah Palin. Don't forget, Beck and Limbaugh will lead us out of this misery. If necessary, we'll bring the brilliant Bushes back...

Rational Market Theory and Black Swans in Healthcare Reform

Glen is doing it right:
"All propaganda must be popular and its intellectual level must be adjusted to the most limited intelligence among those it is addressed to. Consequently, the greater the mass it is intended to reach, the lower its purely intellectual level will have to be. But if, as in propaganda for sticking out a war, the aim is to influence a whole people, we must avoid excessive intellectual demands on our public, and too much caution cannot be exerted in this direction."

"The receptivity of the great masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan. As soon as you sacrifice this slogan and try to be many-sided, the effect will piddle away, for the crowd can neither digest nor retain the material offered. In this way the result is weakened and in the end entirely cancelled out." ~ Adolph Hitler

The Worst Case Scenario (Someone Has to Say It)

"We are being extin­guished and stupefied as a people, reduced to a flock of timid, subservient sheep of which the government is the shepherd."

Wait, if we were not sheeple before, how did we arrive at this point?

The Fed Will Not Succeed with Quantitative Easing

Is "free market " really free? It's only natural that the sharks (political/economic elites? financial products genius? investment bankers? Madoff?) feast if you let them roam free. Anyone who claims he knows how to control the nature is delusional...

Being Wrong for Five Years Makes Peter Schiff Right Now?

Mr. Sullivan,

You quoted : Milton Freidman said, "markets can stay dislocated longer than you can stay solvent. "

Per Quote Details :John Maynard Keynes said, "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."

And I also happen to think that it takes some courage for a man to speak against "the tide". After all, it is not that easy to take the road less traveled.

Agree. I ordered some gold from Kitco in August and am still waiting for delivery. It only said "booked" on their website. And if you call, the phone rings forever and wait time is long. Something is definitely up.
