Even With A Fiscal Cliff Deal, Stocks And The U.S. Economy Will Unravel In 2013 [View article]
What am I wrong about?
You wrote two articles--one is reasonable stating that our country has been deficit spending and will need to slow that down. And slowing down will hurt. But then you weaved all kinds of partisan non-sense in with it. Obama was much more left holding the empty bag when the previous clown left than the one that caused the problem. The majority of America understands that. All of a sudden you want Obama to stop deficit spending in the middle of the biggest financial mess the country has seen in almost a century. The previous leadership was blameless even though they ran up the debt during times of growth.
Yes it is going to hurt when we start paying our way again. Just remember when we stopped paying our way.
Yes the economy sure has been on fire since we got the Bush tax cuts hasn't it. Nothing better for the creation of jobs than efficient deployment of our wealth into CDO and CDS infrastructure. We got here with low taxes and little regulation. Apparently that doesn't solve all of our problems--in spite of how many times we say it will. Soon we will need to start paying the Bush tab. Someone is going to have to pay. You can lobby for the rich all you want but they are the only ones that will be able to afford to pay. I can make several arguments as to why it is also fair for the rich to pay more but that would be too long for a single drive-by comment.
Just thought I'd offer myself up as fodder to the big red machine.
TGIF: Stop the Week, We Want to Get Off [View article]
I have only been at SA for a few weeks, so I am not real familiar with Phil's politics or the history of spatation.
At least Phil only enrages half of the readers. If I was writing my views regularly I would probably tick off 90% of them because I think that the majority of partisans on both sides are complete idiots.
On the left, pacifists, PETA folks, socialists (real socialists--not free $peach branding of any government spending), anarchists, and any a raft of other "idealists" are in my fruit cake bracket. If you thinks that any sort of price controls, or a pay czar is going to work, you haven't been paying attention. Unions are probably not needed any more and distort labor prices ( I was forced to join one kicking and screaming) but I at least relate to union folks--why give you up your golden goose.
The right is more monolithic than the left--they all believe the same retarded things instead of each person making-up their own retarded thing. Some of this is due to billions of $s of free $peach but it is also due to the nature of conservatism itself. Real conservatives make up their own reality--as in Conservapedia. Many have spent so many hours listening to infomercials that even people that started out intelligent have been educated into dolts.
It is so easy to pick on the idiots on the other side. But, just because the person that believes the exact opposite of you is an idiot, doesn't mean that you aren't one also. If someone does believe the exact opposite of you it might be a clue that you are as smart as they are.

I've read this comment 850,000 times in the last 6 months. Here I have a little song to cheer you up.
Gloom despair and agony on me, deep dark depression excessive misery. If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. Gloom despair and agony on me.
It is the government's fault that the people don't contribute to their 401k? We sure are good at the blame game. We wonder what happened to pesonal responsibility. If you are not saving it is your own fault.

If one skims the titles of your articles, it is hard not to get the impression that all those lines and circles you draw always seems to say that the market is about to fall. Do those articles count toward your 90%?
2011 Outlook: Economy Should Do Better Than Market Expects [View article]
I read the article and comments and I don't see a lot of people (or pumpmonkeys) claiming to have made a lot of money since the bottom in 2009. Maybe someone can point them out to me.
Since you brought it up though, I have made a lot of money since the bottom in 2009. Rode everything all the way down and all the way back up. In my case back up further than where I started by betting on emerging markets and commodities. So I'll be your first boasting pumpmoney.
My time here on SA has taught me how intensely protective you folks of the gloomer / gold bug / tea partier persuasion are. (safety in numbers I guess). So here comes my St. Sebastian imitation. Remember, I rode the market all the way down. I got nads like billiard balls. Do you think I care.
The Market Has Reached Its Important Top [View article]
I read his article and looked at the S&P plot. He pretty much called the bottom at 1050. Sure he said "if it hit resistance at 1050" but it did and it went up from there. And true he said 2 months but now is stepping in and saying this is a top.
I'd be pretty impressed if in another two months I look at the S&P plot and a top is in the next couple of weeks.
I don't know if he is right but he is saying more than any of you detractors.

You complain about debt then praise the "huge boost" given to the economy by the deficit spending that resulted from your man's tax cuts.

There, that ought to make me popular.
