What happened to all of the doom and gloom economic threads?

[RobDownSouth]

Actually because I'm vested in the markets and voting for Obama, I'm not at all hoping for bad things to happen...

Now wait just a minute, Chief! A few months ago you told us you were totally out of the market and 100% invested in gold, so the markets could go to hell.

Were you lying to us then or are you lying to us now?

"Situational Red Man speak with forked tongue!"

Just keep printing the cheap money...

That makes us economically so much more sound; now we have more cash for benefits, loans and spending.

Austerity? Are you kidding??? How will that keep us in power?

Last year, at this time, we had a rally...

I still say their dancing is premature, but they've been waiting for so long that I understand the release of all that pent-up frustration. Like I said, once his base feels there is no danger, they are going to start hammering him to raise taxes and increase benefits and woe to the Republican that gets in their way, the full force and fury of the press will be focussed on them.

"Now we have to tell our flock that OIL is the economy."

"Do you think they'll listen? I mean, they can't possibly be THAT stupid."

"Did you see the way they rallied around Sarah Palin?"

"Yeah, you're right.... OIL it is!"

Sorry chief, the damned search function won't let me search on the word "gold" and I've neither time nor inclination to wade through your tens of thousands of posts.

It was in a thread where I asked you to detail your investment portfolio to us, since you've been bragging since the day you arrived here how you always beat the market.

When I held your feet to the fire, that's when you started spluttering about being 100% invested in gold.

So now that you're NOT 100% invested in gold, why not give us a breakdown of exactly what mutual funds you're invested in and the percentage invested in each? That way we can compare your braggadocio to actual results at the end of this year!!

(Just kidding, we know you're too cowardly to do that)

Merc, those same numbers produce different results when you use different models...

That's why every analytics agency from JP Morgan Chase to the CBO uses multiple models and formulates a range of conclusions. JP Morgan Chase's assessment is that the stimulus raised the GDP at a critical time by 2.1%-2.7%; that range is because they use a range of models from bold to conservative.

What I'm doing is referring to a range of agency assessments, each of which use a range of models. But since Wall Street isn't backing your right wing narrative, you've resorted to this bizarre position of "economics really isn't possible". You look desperate as hell, not to mention completely dishonest.

None of it accounts for Human Action.

Yes it does.

And that 10K joke went on for over a year. How did that work out? Fabulously.

There was an 8k joke, 9k joke, 10k joke, 11k joke, and an 12k joke. Now at 13k you find it not so funny, eh?

This is the dance you guys were going when this thread began, but there is many a slip betwixt the cup and the lip...

A slip? Did the economy experience any one of the three double-dip recessions you predicted? Or the hyperinflation you predicted? Or the deflation you predicted? Or the stagflation you predicted?

The recession was deep and the recovery has been slowed by the foreclosure crisis and subsequent housing backlog, and by an economic crisis in Europe. But sitting here insisting we're not in a recovery keeps you from being a credible person.

 

[mercury14]

Low stock volume can be a harbinger, it means that the upward movement isn't bidding stock prices up and that the economy isn't really expanding.

Which economist says the economy hasn't been expanding? I'll give you an hour on Google to find one. Ready?

Go!

Hitting 13000 is good but oil is still over a buck

GAS prices will rise in this country as long as it's traded on commodity markets like pork bellies, titanium, and orange juice.

"OMG Iran might cut oil exports to the UK and France, we need to buy up all the gas in case they cut ours!" is what's going on. Add to it that oil companies can raise prices WHENEVER they want, for WHATEVER reason they want.

As consumers, we're at the whims of big oil and idiots speculators!

If catching AJ in a lie wasn't such a regular occurrence, this might be an "ouch" moment for him.

Are you talking about futures trading?

If so, neither Pork bellies nor Titanium 'futures' are traded. Titanium is traded, but the contracts only extend out a month or two. Orange Juice is traded... so you got one right.

And RBOB Gasoline Futures are trending down for the next 6 months.

Actually because I'm vested in the markets and voting for Obama, I'm not at all hoping for bad things to happen...

I just understand reality and the nature of what we owe here in the Western World.

And now that they have pronounced victory, the next thing the liberals will be all about is the social justice of outrageous taxation. I can't wait for them to get what they demand.



I mean, I really hope, wish and pray for them to get everything they advocate for knowing now what I did not know when Bush was in office, that deficits don't matter...

Wait, I thought you were voting Obama on the "bring on the liberal apocalypse and get it over with" theory...?

 

[mercury14]

Hmm still no AJ. Maybe... jury duty?

He's hoping people will forget, so that he can just ignore it happened. He'll resume the american thinker C&Ps tomorrow morning.

 

[RightField]

Rightfield, where did you go? You ran away faster than Ishmael when I asked him to back his claim that the USA has several times more oil than Saudi Arabia.

I've been working. Still am tonight so far. Work is something that fewer and fewer people do and they have to work harder and harder because someone has to pay for your housing, food and medical so that you have the leisure time to come to Lit and whine like an elementary school girl about how unfair it is that your daddy goberment doesn't give you enough money or attention.

I really love that you blame the wrong end of the spectrum for you having to work harder and harder...

You're a lemming.

I think it's my responsibility to work hard and do the best I can for my family, my friends at work, my country and my integrity. The group that bothers me is the one that wants to take more and more out of my pocket (and out of my kids mouths) in taxes to pay for more and more programs that seem to be designed only to "bribe" people into voting democrat.

It bothers me that they fund their friends through Solyndra, a dozen other energy programs, the stimulus that wasn't, Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac (Franklin Raines making $90M over 7 years running a quasi-government organization while "donating" millions to dem campaigns and costing taxpayers billions), and espousing programs like high-speed rail which seems to be nothing but a handoff to the unions with no practical benefit to the country (how many profitable train lines are there in the country....maybe 2 out of several hundred?) while adding astronomical amounts to our debt so that they not only impoverish me, the impoverish my grandkids (that aren't born yet).

I won't begrudge you your opinion, but I'm the one working 60-90 hours a week and paying almost 50% in taxes, what are you doing?

 

[Sean Renaud]

90 Hours a week should land you within the top 1% end of discussion. If it doesn't you're undervalued.

That said you're a lot smarter than this Right, I've read enough of you that I don't get how you can have some of the stances you have when you've been presented with as many of the facts as you have. I don't get it. Still blaming the left for your work load is insane.

The group that wants to "take money out of your pocket", and tax you more, is the group that wants to eliminate capitol gains taxes.

You're a walking, talking parrot.

If you lived within your means, you wouldn't need to work so much. Learn to work to live, not live to work. Such will reduce your stress, and take a burden off the medical system (paid for by the next generation) that will sustain you in your golden years.
