Full retard Indeed...
(HA! I beat the "bitchez" troll posts!)
lol. Troll Bitchez!
Damn right.
Better 2B a troll than a shill, whilst we all aspire to be unicorns.
Agree. At least the troll isn't playing the stooge.
156, Awesome avatar BTW.
BLAMER in chief. destroy the country, crank the deficit and blame Bush
It is my hope that at some point you'll see the forest for the trees and realize you're caring about exactly what they want you to care about, so that you're not caring about the stuff that's really screwing you over.
say what???
good grief - all these obama worshippers here on ZH.
they have ears but they cannot hear.
they read but they do not understand.
liberalism is a mental disease
Right. And the GOP is soooooooo much better.
Believing there is any difference b/t our two "parties" makes you a fool. Apologies for being harsh, but playing the R vs. D game is pointless, destructive, and stupid.
It's a one-party system - the corporate fascist party. There are some petty, meaningless differences b/t Right & Left on some social issues but these differences are dwarfed by the commonalities: for-profit warmongering, corporate-sponsored legislation & career security, out-sourcing of monetary policy to a private central bank, federal control over all aspects of citizen's lives. D's & R's share ALL of these attributes. It's a one-party corporatocracy.
So do yourself a favor and check the partisan propaganda at the door - it flags you as a fool, and bores the rest of us who have moved on to bigger, more important issues.
++++
Nice, and that's just the G-rated list.
two wings on the same facist bird
Nice post, hound dog vigilante! Even Zerohedge is infested with party 'tards. I'd figure most of these genius masters of the universe would see the simple truth that the political system is a fraud and simply a sheeple control mechanism.
spoken like a true sheep LOL. you defended your cult leader today - heres a cookie
hound dog - spoken like a good liberal. start the george soros name calling.
look at all the bugs flocking to the light, right behind you.
that koolaid will wear off sooner or later if it doesnt kill you.
you sorry yet that you voted for obama?
MB he voted for Ralph Nader.
NotWithit777, do you even read the posts before you fly off the handle with ad homs? Or are you just really that stupid?
Hounddog has a valid point, care to address it? Shit, you seem so wrapped up in the very same hero worship (albeit the other side of the coin) which you kneejerk to accuse anyone else of who attempts to talk any sense to you; I doubt you can even recall the gist of what HD wrote. I recommend you dose some ketamine (it's the new prozac dontcha know), have another smoke, reread HD's post a few more times until an embolism provides you with just enough of a moment of clarity, fleeting though it will no doubt be, to comprehend the comment beyond 'GOP is bad'. There was more to it than that, honest.
ok so you name call like him, take drugs and smoke -so
obamas a blamer, thats all he does. apparently you like that
dup.
hunh?
-100
Stop blowing smoke up our asses and try making a modicum of sense.
trip.
Name one ZH regular who likes Bush or Obama and we will publicly flog them on the spot!
Well, I tell my wife all of the time that I like to beat around the bush...does that count?
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
I get along with Bush like a brutal homicide. I get along with Obama like a deeply suspicious child around a perverted catholic priest.
I think you just made Panafrican Funk's point for him. Nothing in his comment indicated Obama worship. On the contrary. My guess is PF understands (as many of us do) that Obama is irrelevant. The parties are irrelevant. Liberalism is not the mental disease. Liberalism is irrelevant. The mental disease is not being able to see all of this emotionally charged partisan bickering and "debate" over "moral issues" for the red herrings they are. It's deliberate noise designed to distract from real issues as we move into election season.
Watch how much "debate" time is spent on the "ground zero mosque", abortion and other irrelevancies (including temporary and minuscule "job creation" efforts which ultimately cost 10x what they will produce), and how little is said on specific, viable strategies for addressing two things: 1) rising commodity consumption rates vs. rising production costs; and 2) governmental spending at 100%+ of GDP and at a 2:1 ratio to tax revenues. I guarantee you that you will hear lots of the former and little of the latter.
But that won't stop voters from choosing false candidates to defend irrationally entrenched opinions based on little-to-no knowledge about issues of little consequence. There's a saying that academic politics are the most vicious form of politics because the stakes are so low. We now have the same on the national stage...in a theater constructed around us to keep us arguing over inanities amongst ourselves.
ES/AUDJPY about 18pts rich.... but I'm not fighting the gov't going into the LABOR DAY long weekend. Go ahead guys paint the tape.
Just so everyone knows, the Friday before Memorial Day was down 18 and the friday before July 4 was down 5.
No reason to think markets end green just because its a holiday W/E.
Yep. Lets see if we get Synchronized Cliff Diving in these correlations before the end of the day.
Someones got to cash out of this pump for all their Hamptons long weekend parties...its just no fun for Wall Streeters without all the coke and hookers.
Its gonna be a soggy weekend in the hamptons anyway I think.
Long weekend+ gold down 1 percent=go long gold and long QQQQ as a hedge
Still in recent range and not enough to break through 1108ish...
These poor gold producers are choking on OTC derivatives foisted upon them by nefarious Canadian investment banks. No wonder they can never make anny money.
Not looking good....
This one looks better
Las Vegas Sands at 52-week highs....
Just to give a more specific example, BAC, C, and JPM are very highly correlated over the past month. However, the 3,6,9,YTD, and 1 year are showing next to no correlation between the three. This is because of materially significant differences in appropriate valuation of these companies, both from a current and forward standpoint. Valuation has gone from only marginally relevant, to completely irrelevant. This is the recipe for volatility spikes.
Kirk Lazarus: Everybody knows you never do a full retard.
Tugg Speedman: What do you mean?
Kirk Lazarus: Check it out. Dustin Hoffman, 'Rain Man,' look retarded, act retarded, not retarded. Count toothpicks to your cards. Autistic, sure. Not retarded. You know Tom Hanks, 'Forrest Gump.' Slow, yes. Retarded, maybe. Braces on his legs. But he charmed the pants off Nixon and won a ping-pong competition. That ain't retarded. Then there was Sean Penn in ‘I Am Sam.’ He went full retard. Left the Oscars empty-handed. You went full retard, man. Never go full retard.
Going for the obvious (tropic thunder) - a comedy classic IMO.
+ /ES Retard! Retardation rocks on
Check PBR, up 12%+ in 4 days on the announcement of massive dilution.
http://www.google.com/finance?q=NYSE:PBR
Now, 50% is to be acquired by the government and the other half is open to the public. Even so, the stock sale is expected to be a failure as the Brazilian government is removing law checks that prevent other State companies to participate in the stock sale.
Stock sale and payment of oil barrels roayalties were already expected and priced in...only royalty prices were announced and nothing outrageous...
Petrobras is about the same valuation as pre-salt discoveries, totally undervalued...but I guess companies like BP, Exxon are much better deals, right?
Check your facts 1st...
Your conjectures do not justify the last 4 days, dear. Current common shares will be diluted, no way around it.

Lol: from "Tropic Thunder"
Kirk Lazarus: Check it out. Dustin Hoffman, 'Rain Man,' look retarded, act retarded, not retarded. Counted toothpicks, cheated cards. Autistic, sho'. Not retarded. You know Tom Hanks, 'Forrest Gump.' Slow, yes. Retarded, maybe. Braces on his legs. But he charmed the pants off Nixon and won a ping-pong competition. That ain't retarded. Peter Sellers, "Being There." Infantile, yes. Retarded, no. You went full retard, man. Never go full retard. You don't buy that? Ask Sean Penn, 2001, "I Am Sam." Remember? Went full retard, went home empty handed..
thanks for the catch. forgot to reference the movie.
Don't forget Cliff Robertson in Charly. He beat Algernon and drew charts with crayons.
Cliff had the chops to pull off FR, IMHO.
You went full retard, man. Never go full retard.
OK, DOC
Like Earl, all said and done for today.
They also have Mr Chance back in the White House, or
the Oval Office
This correlation trade is broken.
The AJ correlation trade is too hard to get right without being able to rebase to 1st. Just when you think you have the ratios correct, they move in tandem. SO you're open trade of 1.3:1 is moving at 1:1 and you lose money.
Nice reversal off the upper trend line from April 26 high.
Meanwhile, In Broken Correlation Land...
Correlation desks = today's full retard
LOL. The ZH headlines are some of the best.
don't look now, but someone is kicking JPM in the nuts over at the Comex.
+1, w00t! Short squeeze the short squeezers!
and the smoke billows from the windows of the Comex....
GO SILVER !@ Take 'em down!!!!
hit Jamie where it hurts!!!!
whoa...someone's weekend in the Hamptons is being ruined....could silver go over 20? Now?
is this a message from the Chinese?
I think the key is the price of oil
There is a glut like never seen in History
Every silo, pipeline and supertanker is filled to the brim. (same with NG)
The little problem is the economy. (Consumption)
Dollar is falling out of Favor with the Arabs
If oil falls below a certian threashold the Arabs will only want Gold for payment of their oil.
Damn ! I just looked at Silver WOW!
No one fell for the takedown head fake in metals this morning.
Looking for them to rally "BIG" today ?
As my kids would say, jinx! If the economic news is really worth 60 SPOOs in three days then oil should be shooting the moon. It says to me that this is a pure equities paint job.
Nothing else is biting on the equities sunshine, bonds not buyin it, metals not buyin it, oil way down. Looks like a game with an unhappy ending for the stock lovers.
Yea Threeggg, and theyre bitching about peak oil!
Hmm. Seems oil ain't comin' to this party. Now $2 off today's high.
Oil glut evertually forces the market to treat it as a pure commodity, i.e. oil temporarily loses it's pseudo-money value, as pure supply/demand dynamics (risk) overwhelm all other variables in the equation.
And here again is a shining example of difference b/t gold & silver vs. everything else (incl. oil).
The folks who don't "get" gold & silver simply do not understand risk.
I agree, hound dog vigilante! I dont own a lot of gold and silver, but I have huge stockpiles of Silvertips, know what I mean? Just as valuable if not way more so in an economic house of cards collapse.
1100 SPX is IN THE BOOKS!
Wow, almost looks pre-scripted.
So now what? Still no one buying it, zero volume, so looks like the expedition to find suckers higher either has to go out to the 'Flemish Cap' in a perfect storm hurricane, or go home empty handed.
Oh no, the machines are taking over!
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/b2373a36-b6c2-11df-b3dd-00144feabdc0.html
relax, lean back, close your eyes, and gently put a 100 oz silver bar on your forhead and cool down, everything's gone be alright!
Chart: SPX
The bus appears set to leave the station, folks. Anyone on board?
http://www.screencast.com/t/NmUyYjZm
