Markets down is not the real economy. Just some banks being punished. The real economy is prodding along welll.

Banks say: "Saving us is saving the economy." But in fact what is good for the banks is not good for the real economy. Call it another decoupling. FED regulate banks and failed. Thus you see a problem between regulator and regulated. Too much intimidation going on nw. Banks say if they go belly up the world will end. Peple are praying that the wrld keep believing the US will slide into 10% of the world GDP and the world will end too. I am laughing.

Yes, carnage everywhere. Detritus abounds. Bones must be picked, rendered. Coups de grace administered. I have not felt this comfortable and optmistic in a long time. Gold, FXP, SKF, FXF, FXY, Treasuries, DBA, all make me warm and fuzzy. Looting is a family friendly sport. I can almost feel the riches from these lovelies clamoring to be let into my cash accounts. But, no, they must grow, develop, mature before I chop their little heads, take their meat and roast it for the grand feast at the Looter's Ball. Asia down big....FXP up big, gold, too. My massive bet on SKF to follow suit. How's that for pillaging, comrade?

TJ, catalytic converters increase pollution and costs. It would be better and cheaper to use little lean burn engines and good quality fuel to reduce emissions and costs. Unfortunately, as usual, governments are not interested in actual good results so much as following ill-informed ideas foisted on the gullible public by vested interests and fashion. I'm not suggesting catalytic converters will be ditched any time soon, but they should be. <it is a race, platinum vs fun, which will rise the fastest, so that cb ilaine's automotive tail pipe gets progressively more expensive, all in favor of my loot. > You short-changed your employees by giving them gold coins instead of QCOM in 1998.
