I have to tell ya. I don't know how some of the shorts have stayed solvent. Gold stocks might have helped them a little.

'They believe they see things to which the rest of the world is blind. Its rather amazing......you would think you're in the company of CEOs and presidents and royalty. Joseffy and BC are at least amusing in their apocalyptic bombasity.' I agree. Funny down here we probably have seen more of the realities of our unbalanced economy, record wealth disparity, weakening global position, demographic trends, every flavor of politics,a slice of almost anyplace in America east of the MS can be found here, climate change and more intense pronounced seasons..ect that is ongoing than most anywhere in the country. And change happens faster.. Which is why if you want the scoop hang with McMannis and yours truely instead...lol

Also read Jimbo's replies to that member of 'royalty' just one year ago.... Don't underestimate Jim as he loves to probe and provoke but always sees the light at the end of the tunnel...He doesn't need to take big risks like the others being a self made trust fund baby<g> Message 26571896 Seriously the permabears are now as big a joke as the right wingers..both now well beyond my disdain for the RE bubbleheads, credit junkies and neocons when I originally joined SI in late 2004 and saw what was coming in group thinking with many of these same people well before the 'ownership society' crashed and burned and the military industrial complex, Bush tax cuts and great recession brought us to our latest set of obstacles to 'overcome' that only the 'smartest guys in the room' can see<g>.. Maybe the fact a broken clock is right twice a day is all they are about? If you want to be a broken clock it is much better to be an eternal optimist with rose colored glasses<g> That ever expanding pool of doom and gloom now includes, the goldbugs, birthers, Joseffy's lefty buddies like Cornel West, those with bad credit and (or) now chronically underemployed that burned on the backside of the housing crash, others downsized by globalization and technology and all the above already mentioned. Seems like the majority in this country now believe we are all going to hell the exact opposite of when the sheep got Bush reelected most actually thought we were heading in the right direction 6-7 years ago with FOX and CNBC doing cartwheels daily..Talk about playing it just as a contrarian yet again....lol
