i never said a word about the economy and i don't give a f if he made real investments or not. he made the call in the face of all you geniuses who have been wrong for more than a year.

and randall: when it comes to equities, you've been rht since the beginning of this thread. i was wrong about gold and admitted it publicly a long time ago. time for you to do the same here.

Usually don't bust Rock's chops … but that first sentence to randall was LOL hilarious.

Can you predict when a terrorist attack is going to happen? Watch what the market does if they hit us again.

bin Laden and his Doctor friend still alive. It's been over a decade and they still can't catch the guy. They've had 9 years of recruiting and now they're getting white guys to join the cause so profiling goes completely out the window.

Bailout after bailout. The housing market dead. Jobs slowly recovering but mostly double-minimum wage or less.

Yeah go all in on the market. They already f.ucked millions with their 401k. Credit dried up. People carrying ridiculous amounts of debt. Hardly any saving enough to retire.

Yeah it's peachy.

Yeah think it's a lock with 12 to go and end up sweating it out for a push.

GMAC and another lender are practically being forced to halt foreclosures. But then again the market doesn't deal in reality nowadays. Everyone on board!

Randy..you're a pretty smart guy.

Small losses on the week:

Dow … 10,830 … down 0.3%

S&P 500 … 1,146 … down 0.2%



By the way, last month was the best September in over 70 years with that Dow gaining 7.7% and the S&P 8.8%.

You lose for the day.

Better yet, since no one has any faith in the dollar you get it in the butt---how you ask? Well that .83% decline has resulted in oil being up 2.04% on the day....Do you drive? Do you like food? How does that food get to where you buy it? How do the tractors run to get the food? Do you travel? Do you heat your home?

Bringing in the USDX kind of defeats your point though doesn't it? The dollar is stronger today than it was when the bull run started in march of 2009.

Any way you paint it, if you followed Smooth Operator over the last 18 months, you would be ahead. Is this not correct?

Mr. Snot...don't answer her.

It's tape recorder bait.



Besides,she's become a Quasi al Jihadist.

God Almighty, the idiocy around here never ends. Maybe some charts of the past month will do you well.

" (Never mind that priced in dollars when adjusted for the debasement, they're not actually going up at all.... and your salary sure as hell hasn't gone up 7% in the last month either. Incidentally a 7% monthly rate compounded over the year implies a 225% annualized inflation rate, which is the gain you'd have to have in your salary to keep pace with this crap.)"

1. …gold could go to $2,400 an ounce based on the fundamentals--and that momentum could carry it to $4,000 an ounce.

2. …get out of bonds while you can: You're much better off investing in blue chip stocks with good dividend yields…

3. …buy a home. Now…



According to the hedge fund manager who made a fortune betting against subprime mortgages…

Just so my simple mind understands- You are saying that if I had put $1000 USD in the S and P 500 on March 9, 2009 and cashed out yesterday, I would have lost money. Is that right?

you aren't factoring in the magical 225% annual inflation visible to those in the know, moron.

On a day when gold hit 1350, you'd think you'd have enough sense to just keep your mouth shut.

More like 50%. Keep poo pooing gang. You see where this fun race to the bottom leads.

The thing about the market/commodities/etc. is that you don't have s.hit if you don't sell it. Whoopity f.ucking doo if the numbers are up and you're still sitting like a pompous cartoon bullfrog with a tophat and cigarette.

Sometimes not losing money is all you should be concerned with. And with ETFs you can sell it anytime you want....Took my tophat to the gas station today to see that gas is up nearly 20 cents in 10 days. This while the economy sputters. Nothing pompous about that.
