Does anyone think that Japan is going to go up and the US down? I think the powers are stronger than we think, and they will borrow, kill, steal, and destroy whatever they have to in order to keep the perception of a strong economy and recovery going until Nov. In this game, the end justifies the means, and with front men like Kudlow, Cramer, and Brinker totally showing NO morals or scruples (calling all bears morons, gold holders idiots, worshipping jobs # like a god, etc.), can you imagine how corrupt the BACK men are? No, I think it would take an external event to derail this PLANNED move. If those that hate the US have ANYTHING left (which is doubtful -- THEY may have never even existed, but THE ENEMY could have been fabricated, etc. -- I won't go there for obvious reasons) -- then if THEY do exist and are not impotent or retarded or blind, they would certainly want to make their move before Nov. Other than that, perhaps the mega-bulls are right, and debt, dollar value, accounting laws, courts, salaries, oil, foreign bond buyers, NOTHING matters anymore -- at least until Nov. I would not have believed it, but maybe they will pull off another period like late 1999-early 2000. Watching the likes of TASR, QCOM, YAHOO, and dozens of really crap, money-losing companies skyrocket is pretty powerful evidence. This is all VERY disheartening for what life will be like in the USA in the not-too-distant future. I feel sorry for our children and grandchildren. Their country has been sold out by those they trust most -- and ALL for the LOVE of MONEY, nothing more. Someone tell me I am wrong -- please. I remain, SOROS p.s. want to add one thing -- I think it matters not Democrat or Republican -- they all belong to the same selfish group -- simply different clothing and words, but MOTIVES are exactly the same -- TOTAL selfishness and looking out for only their pathetic selves and egos and lifestyles
