I could not control myself and got into a state of rage. I told the audience that the next time someone from the IMF shows you projections for some dates in the future, to show us what they PROJECTED for 2008 and 2009 in 2004, 2005, ..., and 2007."  [View news story]

  • Santelli's Rant: A Watershed Moment? [View article]
    How dare RS rant and rave, when his boy Myron Sholes and Long Term Capital started us on this path. Wake-up people, everyone is talking about everything but the 800lb Gorilla = CDS which allowed the death spiral shorting.

    Until we fix the CDS problem there will be NO END.

  • Even Rubin Couldn't Outmaneuver Risk [View article]
    I totally agree with you. Advised investors to go to cash, but the influence of CNBC that it was a great time to buy, won out. Now they ask why wasn't I more forceful in getting them out. KISS does work.
