Hahaha, keep commenting....

A thousand years in the future the history books are going to just ridicule this era for all the senseless drivel of internet posting and blogs...

"The media is the protector of democracy"...
BS.."the media, blogging, internet commenting is the mechanism to spread mindless chatter and opinion."

Its all happening.]]> Fri, 07 Aug 2009 00:22:57 -0400

Listening to gamblers bitch and moan is fruitless...

Hey Mr. Graham, if we come back on November 1st 2009 and stocks haven't crashed will you never publish something again? Put some skin in the game jack.

Really say your thoughts out loud and I'll check back in about 3 years from now and see if you've emerged from the illogical circular reference.

How about we just produce Gold. Oh yea, we already have most of it. So there we go. Easy end to the crisis. Kill all currencies, everyone will go to gold and the US is back on top.

How can people say we have too many businesses tailored to the consumer(YES, many of those small businesses) and that the economy will collapse if some of the fluff goes out of business.

Its the same bad argument Larry made about less credit to people. Guess what, while in the short term Joe Idiot who has no real money to buy a car but does so on credit is good for the economy, in the long run its bad when he defaults and then the car company goes out of business.
Its the same thing the other way. If you close down credit to Joe Idiot, in the short term it may be bad he doesn't buy a car, but in the long term it better because he doesn't default. The idea that is John Moneybucks who can afford things is going to be also affected if his credit gets cut is stupid. John Moneybucks will either A)use cash or B)be in a good enough position to get the credit. or C)a combination of A&B
Its called rightsizing. Happens in every recession.

You can't have it both ways Ryan and Larry. Sorry.

The articles idea that this is a good thing at the wrong time. There's a reason the Constitution hasn't been updated more than a few times in 300+ years...there is a reason there are bubbles and will continue to be so. People don't make tough choices when things are good. You don't stop playing blackjack when you are on a roll.
That also doesn't mean you don't do the right thing just because its a little later than you should have.

You don't stick to stupidity just because you've been sticking to it for a long time.]]> Thu, 28 May 2009 23:45:15 -0400

Unless they are going to figure out a way to split gold into sand granule sized slivers, you will be dead before gold replaces paper money. Sorry, it may be a nice part of a balanced portfolio, but you're wasting your time thinking it is as "golden" as you think.

People peddling future predictions 100% are morons. They are all over Seeking Alpha and all over the internets these days. Many people are making a ton of money on the financial crisis. A "lost decade" would be a financial windfall for them like no other.
And all the slaves to money that are wasting their time on this are eating it up.

In terms of "money"...people, especially on these boards, are nothing more than slaves to it. Not saying that as necessarily a bad thing, but there really are more important things than to waste such smarts(proclaimed or real) on such a stupid problem.

This whole stagflation would actually be growth returning to sustainable levels. People who say the growth was never sustainable at least need to stop painting the growth rate returning to sustainable levels(which to get there has to first fall) as a negative.

The article is not stating that all is well. Its stating that a drop from 14500 to 6500 that goes back up to 8500 is still a aggragate drop of 6000 points!!! and perhaps some people have forgotten that.

I'm not sure when people started looking at the stock market as a point in time mechanism. Its laughable.

For what its worth I think anyone who makes predictions on where the stock market or markets in general are going are picking at straws in the wind. Up or down, no one can know for sure...but why some people are rooting for huge moves down really confuses me.

There are many situations where a weak dollar is good and it would have done the US much better in the past to let the dollar weaken, however the "experts" at SeekingAlpha would not let you say such a thing.

US dollar strong...no alternative...blah, blah, blah.

How about the hyper inflationists explain where the inflation arises with a -$20 trillion hole.

These arguments all amount to "people will get poorer but prices will continue to rise". Look at what oil did over the last year and you can see that while that may occur for a very short time it does not last. Not saying, as the oil run up, that the pain may not be quite real and substantial but this is not a long term solution.

I guess the problem is long term to most people these days seems to be about 1 month...

What is most probable is something unknown is going to happen...]]> Wed, 29 Apr 2009 22:28:02 -0400

As for making it out as if you are the majority, let the results of the votes amid a smear campaign in the media and on the internet show that the loudest and angriest and dirtiest in no way means the majority.

Start writing your articles about how the Government will replace Lewis so you can deflect...]]> Wed, 29 Apr 2009 16:44:15 -0400

Keep on listening to the status quo and keep on blindly hating everything that has a Governmental hand in it.

"I have empathy for others as long as I'm okay"...Yea Right.

I just can't fathom how people just throw things like this out there...

Why can't we make bets with people who say stuff like this so we can profit off of it.

You're probably someone who waxes poetic about the godliness of free capitalistic markets and condemns gambling halls.

Once people realize that the markets are a bastardized and manipulated form of gambling maybe we'll start forming a better system. In Vegas the house wins because the odds are in their favor but PEOPLE STILL BET. In the "free markets" the Rich win because they can move the odds in their favor and then still bitch and complain when things aren't going their way and STILL GET THE LITTLE GUY TO BE ON THEIR SIDE. Its as if Vegas could change the rules of the game so that only the richest gamblers won at the expense of the small guy AND convince half of the small guys to be on their side while doing it.
