What Is the Underlying Logic to this Rally?

Sorry for the 4 identical posts. I have no idea what happened. :o

What Is the Underlying Logic to this Rally?

You are absolutely right. Unfortunately most do not see the markets for what they are - a means to steal money from the gullible through fraud and misrepresentation. Fact is, the markets are just like any trypical MLM or Ponzi scheme in which the many are led to believe that anyone can make money at it, whereas in reality only a very few actually do, and only then at the expense (losses) of the many.

China: Recovery or Just Slightly Improved Data?

It is no wonder that America is in the state that she is now in, doomed to total collapse. I'm sure America's enemies love people like you.

GDP Numbers Are Not Making Sense

Our entire system is very corrupted. Unforturnately we now live in a time where the corporate greed of unrealistic compensation levels can only be sustained through fraud and deception. The fact is that those making such money will do anything and everything they can to protect their incomes including lying, cheating, stealing and even killing. Take a bank for example with many of its executives making even just $1 million per year (many make much more). For that bank to earn just $1 million to pay just 1 executive, it would need to lend out $20 million at 5%. $20 million would be over 133 $150,000 mortgages and that does not even take into account other overhead expenses so the number is much higher. So obviously somewhere the bubble has to break. And it will break. The poor can no longer support the rich. Its time to fight back and fight back hard. Its time for a revolt.

If China Is Recovering, How Will We Fare?

Unfortunately this is one of the reasons the USA is in the state that it is today. Some people are just not investing in America as much any more. If you loved your Country, you would invest in her, not elsewhere. Investing elsewhere will only help destroy her.

Rolling Buy-Ins and Assorted Other Market Factors

There are many words I can think of to describe people like Cetin. "Popular" is not one of them.

Peak Oil: China vs. USA

"i simply cannot understand why you want to keep buying foreign oil and spewing crap into the atmosphere."

You're right. You don't understand. In fact you either did not even read what I wrote, or else you have a major comprehension problem. So let me try and make it a little simplier for you to try and grasp one more time.

1. I DO NOT support buying foreign oil

2. I DO NOT support staying with ANY oil as primary source of energy

3. I DO support alternative forms of energy such as Wind, Solar, Electrical and NG

Obama's Big Win at G20: Europeans Lose Control of IMF

Washington is run by Big Business (Oil, Banks, Pharma, etc). One President has no more ability to fix things than another.

Peak Oil: China vs. USA

At least I'm not one who hides behind a new posting ID every time I want to challenge someone else, and then give a bunch of thumbs-down for non-related comments like you, Michael and longoil do when others do not support your pro-oil stand.

Peak Oil: China vs. USA

Actually I have to agree with blonde molly. Your writing style, grammar and spelling do leave so much to be desired that it is very difficult to take anything you write seriously.

And as for your comment to me: "User357469: and i feel sorry for the future of our country when people like you want to keep us addicted to foreign oil as we head into the era of peak oil. if you only knew how dangerous your attitudes are and the dire consequences which will be the result of your thinking and "energy policy" crafted by people like bush, obama, and chu."... you clearly have a reading problem to add to molly's list of your inadequacies. I would like for you to point to just one of my posts that even remotely suggests that I support foreign oil importation. In fact quite the contrary, all of my posts regarding energy clearly promote the moving away from oil and into alternative energy solutions, which contrary to what some (you included) would like us to believe, can be achieved with few if any major problems. Sweden is doing it. And if Sweden can do it, so can America, once it no longer listens to big business and is no longer controlled by their pro-oil crap.

How Vulnerable Is the Internet?

I believe that those who hate America are very much aware of just how vulnerable America is. This is why America no longer gets a lot of outside opposition to its war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and yet receives no real support for them. And this is why countries like Venezuela, NK, Iran and others have been so defiant of past US administrations and its policies. They all know with no uncertainty that the US is headed towards total and perhaps now unavoidable collapse both financially and militarily.

The Bush administration created only some of these problems but unfortunately the Obama administration will very likely not be able to solve them. Sure the Obama administration promised change but so far the only change I see is the name on the door. Otherwise it is business as usual except the US is going bankrupt in the process. "Give it time" some will argue. Well unfortunately time is the one thing of which there is so little left. Blame the President? Not really. The US President (of any party) is now only a puppet for big business and its lobbyists. Once in office "he" must do as "they" say.

Peak Oil: China vs. USA

I feel really sorry for people who think the way you do. Unfortunately it is that way of thinking which has put America where it is today. If you think for even one second that any agency funded by government acts independently of government, then I really have no further comment on this topic as you most likely would not understand its context.
