General Chen long the clownbuck?!? Message 24096044 I must be dreaming - you aren't signing on for gold 20K in the next year? Do my dear scottish colleagues at the royal bank really capture so much of your memeshere - where is the independent thought? What is the saying - less talk - more actions? Steve Jobs said good artists copy but great artists steal eh? Like the US stole from all the sucker asians and others eh? When are your asian friends coming over with their troops to take over all that housing equity - I mean how is it fair - the USA got lots of nice houses built and your friends get worthless securities - we suckered the british into doing this back in the hungry 1840's with our canals and roads! Now we have housing for all the new immigrants we are welcoming in, Japan has a demographic problem with not so creative a solution eh? American INGENUITY - GO USA! Brilliant! I am on your side General if your side is JUSTICE, as our friend Mqurice has found out - subvert the rules and contract law and dishonor your integrity and things just start breaking down. I don't want to see the hillary clinton voting useless daughter that is a leech on society getting a free house because one of your fellow china men or any man for that matter suffered and lost... youtube.com Why should the type in the above link get a free house with a spa tub and full corian countertop kitchen she will never cook in from hillary while your fellow man dies slaving away for coal in an asian mine? hmmmm..... But a hard working el mat type that wants to come in and do my laundry to earn his free house - come brother and let the wangs of the world be stripped of their overindulgences of wealth and power... Maybe I should go back and watch patrick swayze in that movie RED DAWN to see how some commie types will come take back what they think they are owed (hint they lost). Lets be honest though, your friends are the enablers for the wars going now - for without the free funding they would have ended. How nice for them to use the USA as a proxy to keep petrodollar link and let the USA take the global reputation slam. It is like this show I watched called Itervention They go in and try to save drug users from total self destruction - in one episode a father was giving his daughter all the money he could borrow from his home and credit cards to support her drug habit - he said it was better to lose his home and ruin his credit to support her abuse than let her prostitute her body out to do so. As a father would you make this same choice for your daughter if she got on hard drugs and had a several thousand dollar a week drug habit? I don't think it would matter that you had the shiny gold coins in your hand or not even if it was tradeable for 50,000 clownbucks per ounce! Goog is buying into nanosolar, you know I am a long time energy investor, solar and nuclear can take us off the middle east prince's tits eh? Stop thinking so short term my old friend. i simply do not wish for any downside i am not at all interested in upside because there are very few upsides up ahead The best defense is a great offense Tobago! I read a book a long time ago Dear General, about energy and trade and shipping lanes and war - it was not written by a chinese or japanese either - it was called DUNE. In this book it talked about fear being the mind killer - fear is no good - now I asked you several moons back if your friend "wang" from tennessee was going to have his jerry maguire moment and sign on to hillary clinton giving away the free houses to poor people or try to fight the absolute certainty that there are more poor people than rich and in the laws of nature I was taught in physics class numbers matter! (snicker) Will the asians be donating to hillary's campaign to get some of their equity back? Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder. George Washington Wang and you had a chance to be a source of good and willingly offer up what is going to be forced from you anyways eh? Better to be seen a leader and give stuff away for free - Bill Ackman going to GIVE AWAY his worthless clownbucks - what does he know that you don't that makes you retreat into them? Message 24091801 Middle Easterners throwing away their clownbucks on insolvent banks so they can stay a few more days in the palaces too I here, what do they know you don't? The fearmongering General is afraid - fear is the mind killer old friend.

Nouriel Roubini not running to dollars eh? rgemonitor.com Call it a Bernanke Put if you believe that the Fed is trying to avoid a financial meltdwon; call it a need to bail out the economy rather than bailing out the markets if you believe - as I do - that the Fed actions are more driven by its concerns about the economy rather than an attempt to rescue investors; call it a moral hazard play if you believe that the Fed is trying to rescue investors and risks to create down the line another asset bubble. You can call it whatever you like but one thing is obvious: the Fed easing is perceived by the stock market as an action aimed to prevent a recession from occurring and stock prices rally - in spite of worsening macro news that are signaling recession ahead - because of the hope - that I will show is only wishful thinking - that the Fed will be able to avoid such a hard landing. Thus, what has been mostly driving up the stock market in the cycles since last summers is Fed policy expectations of easing. The same pattern of market delusion and serial sucker's rallies occurred in 2001: the economy entered in a recession in March 2001 but the S&P 500 index rallied by a whopping 18% in April and May because the market and investors expected that the aggressive Fed easing - that had started in January - would prevent a 2001 recession (the famed and deluded hope of a second half of 2001 "growth rebound" that never occurred). It was only in June when it was obvious that the economy was sinking in spite of the Fed attempt to bail it out that the stock market started to sharply fall again; so then and again now the onset of a recession led to a typical sucker's rally fed by expectations of a Fed bailout of the economy; and the latest rally this week is occurring while the liquidity and credit crunch in the markets are as bad now or worse than in August and while macro news are worsening by the day.
