Friday the 13th, 2010 Bitches
I'm sure that means something Rusty. Or is it just a mental note to self?
Edit...I'm sorry it would seem it's a superstitious thing, I didn't realize that we combine astrology and economics here, but then again nothing else has been making sense for the last few years.
- well, 7 is the center of 13, you know.
I do now:)
On this day of superstition and hindenburgs and foreshadowing of doom...let us resolve to eat, drink and live it up while we still have the chance.
Stay up all night tonight...you'll sleep when you're dead
sleep when you die (a playlist): http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=AC5C492890CABEE7
Nice play list.
Terrible retail report and surely to be revised down. People are working more and enjoying it less. Friday the 13th indeed.
Hey, sales may be declining but at least retail prices are going up. Rally On! Futures about to turn green. Chinese solars are attractively priced here.
Leo? Is that really you??
i don't think that Ben has fully and completely communicated to the peasantry that its time to give what's left of their savings to the big banks.
He fired up a rally party and no one came.
Now the banks are playing musicals chairs.....isn't there some way we can force the peasants to come in and buy stocks now?
The peasants are busy buying AR 15s and ammo, food, stuff like that, fuk you Ziopig Shalom-Bernanke!
Tyler, I've just heared the freakiest story today about aviation.
Those fires in Russia, the floods in Pakistan? These are mainly caused because something really strange has happened with the jetstream in the upper atmosphere. Somehow, it has shifted which it has never done before.
Now what does that have to do with aviation?
Most plane routes intercontinetal take advantage of the jetstream to save fuel, but because the jetstream has shifted, planes are using way much more fuel suppressing profits even more.
The shift in the jetstream doesn't seem to have anything to do with global warming. It's because of a change in the earth electric field supposably caused by the solar storm 2 weeks ago.
I've heard a speech of about one hour, but I got to go into a meeting. But I'm sure you'll find stuff on the net about it.

dont discount HAARP effect
'Space quakes' look it up on yourtube or google vid theyre happening right now, along with post glacial rebound. Forget stocks...got a D.U.M.B. built yet??
My God Europe is firing on almost, most cylinders - but the markets say the future looks less than miserable.
Remind me about a cat that is both dead in one life and alive for at least a short time in another.
Schrödinger's cat is a worry
I always wondered if Shrodinger put a dead cat in the box if he'd claim it was alive also...
'FED fails'...what an awesome headline! The 'Man of the Year' has actually FAILED? My God it must really be armageddon.
Today should go over like a Led Zeppelin.
Fed Zeppelin.
Hindenburg Omen = Fed Zeppelin
Fed Zeppelin! Man, that is easily the best post you've ever made. Now there's a cartoon that just writes itself.
- Maybe ZH should adopt a Zeppelin theme instead of Fight Club whenever things hit DEFCON 5. The heavy soundtrack, the flaming gas...what could be more appropriate? Look, there's Marla in the back row...http://www.galeon.com/allmusic/caratulas/l/led_zeppelin_-_led_zeppelin_II-front.jpg
I don't know, it feels like a typical day for a utterly bizarre ramp job.

Martin Hennecke on CNBC about Gold, Silver and Ags manipulation:
http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232/?video=1565354860&play=1
Wow, you can get away with a lot on CNBC so long as you have a foreign accent! I love at the end where the host is just like "Uh....OK....thanks for coming on." No rebuttle possible, lol.
I mean how often can you drop the PPT, gold manipulation, and sovereign debt fears all into one interview and not get harrassed by the host on CNBC? He definitely caught them off guard.
.00001 BITCHEZ!
Oh, and that's on a good day!
The real omen for the USA is what happened in East Point/Atlanta Ga. A spark in that powderkeg and we are in full riot mode. What's next in the welfare states of America?
im leaving so bye.
