On another board I saw a comment that came from a man in his 90s who lives in upstate New York. He said he has never seen times as bad as these. Much worse than the depression of the 30s and he saw that first hand.
It is freaking scary. It is so scary that you can see the world ending as a worst case (or best case depending on your faith) scenario. I'm not afraid of dying per se. I'm afraid of it hurting real bad for a long time first. Oh well, might as well have a laugh about it.
think how cringeworthy that must be, going long Mr. Yellen's tits and ass; and yet, that is the way, for now....disgusting kind of geriatric BDSM front-running.
With your avatar and that comment, this was possibly one of the most sickening posts in ZH history. well worth all the greens the DOW can muster though.
I have some Pets.Com, that's never been out of the wrapper, you can get in cheap and I'll give you an extra 1,000 shares for every friend you get to buy in, as well.
Great opportunity to get in on the Internet boom. I've got lots of former Wall Street darlings at half off, come on down to S&P (Shittin & Pissin) preowned Brokerage, where the deals are making themselves!!! - You're preapproved, just show your MF Global acct card at the door.
As long as they keep printing a curreny BACKED BY THE FULL FAITH AND CREDIT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (taxpayer) nothing else matters, even earnings.
this is true...very very true......and will continue to be true aas long as the yen and euro are in worse shape than we are.....and that could be a long time...as kenyes said....longer than you can remain solvent
You should leverage all you assetts to get maximum full retard. Find a bank to loan you money against the equity in your home, a line of credit if you will, then take all the money and invest it in the bank that loaned you the money, soon the shares will be worth so much you can pay back the loan, rinse repeat until you are on a first name basis with Beranke,Gates and Soros.
Definetly go full retard plus!! Now is not the time for contemplation when the garden is ready for raping, er I mean reaping.
Oh and buy a really fucking big SUV so people notice you and take you seriously and stuff.
Make it two so you have something to drive when one gets dirty.
The average real GDP for the decade is shown as 1.7%. But that is based on fake inflation data. Use accurate inflation data and that number becomes negative.
If you use Shodowstats inflation data, that number is -2.3% since Shadowstats inflation is about 4% higher than official inflation.
an interesting question to ask actually is whether the dollar debasement post 9/11 made the obvious inflation and then collapse inevitable or not. i'll never forget that fuel price spike after Katrina actually. i remember thinking "the terrorists have won." ironically the economy was still in pretty good shape back then. now? I'm gonna need more than a Doctor after this calamity finally winds down. so "is growth picking up" or are "prices collapsing"? it's not like we're anywhere NEAR the Reagan numbers for job growth. that's in ABSOLUTE TERMS i might add. the State that we're supporting now compared to then sure seems a lot bigger to me. I mean "Reagan's glorious invasion of Grenada" is about all i remember insofar as that was concerned. Great article btw. And great comments as well. I used to complain about "needing to pick up our game" in these here parts...but not anymore. This place GETS IT now.
and factor in the increased gov expenditures. it isa 30 depression, and possibly worse, plus the jobs are not manufacturing, but service ass bs job sucking ass for a tip shit...
Give this man a medal for a truly unique post ! ! !
Real soon.
Really.
A watched pot never boils. There will be no stock market crash per se. We're all on the long road to societal collapse now. This keeps going until enough people start starving or enough people have nowhere to sleep. We just have to face facts. The US dollar has been thrown under a bus to keep the facade alive. The erosion of the standard of living will increase significantly. Plot this over time on a the equivalent of a stock market chart and that's where you will find your collapse.
When collapse does happen, noone will give a shit about the DOW, Nikkei, FTSE, Hang Seng. These are abstracts of life that have overtaken life itself. Every waking hour we're all glued to the DOW, the S&P the USD/EUR pair, the list goes on. It's no wonder society is in it's terminal phase now. My guess is though that Fukushima is going to speed the decline by orders of magnitude.
i was there but now i'm moving so i can't be there

We can thank all the politicians who have lowered the efficiency of labor and capital in the USA by placing barriers to labor and capital, tariff and non tariff barriers alike.
These regulations have sometimes been well meaning but often designed specifically as a barrier to competition by special interests who helped write the rules.
Developed economies are too rigid to grow efficiently. We have finally succumbed to Eurosclerosis.
We are only 40% through the decade so you need to multiply the GDP of 1.8% by 2.5x to get 4.5%. Yeah we are above the historical average of 3.86%. We can fire some more people.
Bernanke is like a bad robot taking commands. His Wall Street owners tell him to print...it is good they say(they leave out that it is good for them), he says I have to check the data....it is bad he prints. They tell him to print more and he checks the data to support the printing it is bad....he prints. Never figuring out it is bad because he is printing and his owners are bad!
What we have here is a failure to QE enough! Wimpy Fed needs to tee off on even bigger unprecedented scale. Lean on that printing press, drop and give me fifty billion more a month. Show us you really care about raising GDP and employment. Hyperinflation? Don't give it another thought. Kachunga, kachunga, as the sound of (digitally created) mulah just keeps spitting out the other side of the BerYellin machine. Also, toss in some trillion dollar coins to pay down the debt, which will be easier than monetizing. Let's have a Merry Christmas LOAO.
Since GDP is becoming increasingly linked to the feds balance sheet, the more that the feds balance sheet expands the closer to Zero-0 the GDP will get, because the markets have been completely disconnected/bifurcated from the real economy.
It is absolutely incredible to me, and I've said it before and for a long time now, that the numbers and the data that the goverment and Fed produces is to create a false sense OF DESPAIR! If things are good but you constantly present them as bad then those who bet against you will bet wrong and fund your success. It's the Apple quarterly reporting scheme applied to the economy.
You can lie and say that you are pumping $85 billion a month into the economy when in fact you are only putting as much as is needed where it is needed to create the illusion of excess liquidity that in fact is being produced by the economy.
The unempolyment rate goes up even though participation and employment skyrocket, when the month before, participation was lower and employment was weak and the unemployment rate when down.
Make it up as you go along. The doomsayers will suffer for 3 years looking at data, which if true, would have destroyed the economy long ago. For years they said that a minimum of 200,000 jobs was required to account for population growth and yet the unemployment rate goes down, not up, and they don't mention this long held truth anymore. Goldman and Chase are in on the joke.
Remember that it was the Germans who took the largest hit from the RMBS debacle becuase they cannot help themselves and if Fitch says it's tripple A, then Germans cannot see past that, even if it's obvious to anyone who looks beyond the data and to common sense: tens of thousands of homeowners with no income and no job qualified for exorbidant mortgages with no maney down, and it's AAA.
I know what I wrote is fiction, but I swear that things are so meesed up, so NINJA, that it's a bizzaro world of insanity.
This whole convoluted scenerio began as a result of the price of gas in my town. On one side it is often .10 cents or more than on another, a distance of 6 miles, sometimes it is the same or higher on the other. If you knew the demographics of my town, you'd know that charging what the market will bear makes no sense. That supply and demand makes no sense. Especially because there is essentially only one provider of gasoline. The only thing that explains the price of gas in my town is as an economic regulator. If the economy on one side begins to overheat, raise the price of gas, temper the flame. If the other side begins to wane, lower the price, boost spirits. Of course all of this is in conjuntion with the national price that seems to follow suite. It's macro/micro economic regulation through gas prices! What fiction!, but why the hell don't we regulate it as such. It seems the mechanism is already in place.
That said, it is also said that a market can remain illogical for far longer than you can remain solvent, but this must also then apply to an economy, with the same escalator up, elevator down eventuality. I am German so i cannot help but belive that figures don't lie, even if liars really are figuring.
The people making the decisions in this country, by proxy or not, are destroying the United States of America while simultaneously looting her treasury, stealing the wealth from her citizens, and putting into place a system which will leave them debt slaves for the remainder of their lives. The currency war, in which every printed billl is a bullet to the enemy, is intentionally being created in order to introduce a new currency. Divide and destroy. Murder and assassination. Merger and Acquisition at dirt cheap rates. Own it all and call it globalization. A whole new fucking world where tears flood the streets and our only qustion is: "How could we let this happen?" The Grave Stone will say: Died of Regret.
Looks like a buy for sure.
I think I'll go long TNA (3x leveraged microcap ETF!) tomorrow, this beast will be at 2000 before we know it!
Bad news, more QE.
BULLISH!
I know you've got the <sarc> button on, CH1, but for those of us in the Peanut Gallery, it looks scary to me.
The Fed is intentionally blowing the biggest bubble in world history ... the "Mother of All Bubbles" ...
Hell, we don't even come close to the 30's when it was "bad"....
Reactions, equal and opposite, cometh.
EBT and QE is fancy talk for breadlines and tent cities. That shit is coming to an end.
Let them eat cake.
So, I'm totally bullish nonetheless.
Man I totally read your comments with Saul's voice, and it cracks me up hard.
On another board I saw a comment that came from a man in his 90s who lives in upstate New York. He said he has never seen times as bad as these. Much worse than the depression of the 30s and he saw that first hand.
The Fed is the mother of all bubbles.
Looks like dominoes to me...

I own the copyright to the next best seller, "Bubbles Fo Dummies"
Thanks for the idea, I just copyrighted "Bubbles For Dummies".
Enough with the crazy talk about bubbles. Let's just Keep the Aspidistras Flying, shall we? No need to worry the epsilons.....or the alphas.
"those of us in the Peanut Gallery, it looks scary to me."
New product offering?
Bo-bo-bear bearings, they come to a grinding halt. Silver linings.
Over.
It is freaking scary. It is so scary that you can see the world ending as a worst case (or best case depending on your faith) scenario. I'm not afraid of dying per se. I'm afraid of it hurting real bad for a long time first. Oh well, might as well have a laugh about it.
What if the end of the world is really just grinding boredom and listening to lies on the telescreen until everyone's spleen ruptures.
then..."You are here."
QE is the salve that transmutes nature, physics and all marketz. QE renders all charts and reality null and void. Printerz away Mr. Yellen!
Fedwire is an anagram for Philosopher's Stone
Going long tits and ass is always a good trade.
think how cringeworthy that must be, going long Mr. Yellen's tits and ass; and yet, that is the way, for now....disgusting kind of geriatric BDSM front-running.
Oh my god. Like two garbage bags full of ramen noodles and an ass like two rhinos fighting in a blanket.
Bring me the bucket.
Would you like a mint? It's a wafer thin...
With your avatar and that comment, this was possibly one of the most sickening posts in ZH history. well worth all the greens the DOW can muster though.
We have one right here sir. We don't call it "bucket shop" for nothing.
When the entire economy is a bucket shop, all you can do is place your bets. You can't even go home.
I need to buy MOAR Twitter on margin plus some Tesla.
I have some Pets.Com, that's never been out of the wrapper, you can get in cheap and I'll give you an extra 1,000 shares for every friend you get to buy in, as well.

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
Looks like we need to print moar, because it's working so well.
You are in the wrong tax bracket, you need to be in 20004 zip code, er, I mean tax bracket.
As long as they keep printing a curreny BACKED BY THE FULL FAITH AND CREDIT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (taxpayer) nothing else matters, even earnings.
this is true...very very true......and will continue to be true aas long as the yen and euro are in worse shape than we are.....and that could be a long time...as kenyes said....longer than you can remain solvent
I just wanna know if I should go full retard now.
Yes. Full retard is the bullish move.
If you can't manage to go full retard the idiocracy awaits.
You should leverage all you assetts to get maximum full retard. Find a bank to loan you money against the equity in your home, a line of credit if you will, then take all the money and invest it in the bank that loaned you the money, soon the shares will be worth so much you can pay back the loan, rinse repeat until you are on a first name basis with Beranke,Gates and Soros.
Definetly go full retard plus!! Now is not the time for contemplation when the garden is ready for raping, er I mean reaping.
Oh and buy a really fucking big SUV so people notice you and take you seriously and stuff.
Make it two so you have something to drive when one gets dirty.
never go full retard
We all know how it ends up. Print and print much more, rinse and repeat.
It's not the printing that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the end.
You are assuming ther is a stop. There is not.
We are Weimar+

If you say so, I'm all in!
I'm starting to get a strong feeling we're going to see a 2008-level blowout real soon. January earnings season, maybe?
I'm starting to feel my ass getting prepped for a porn quality ramming.

Don't fret, Obamacare will cover your bleeding rectum.

It does look pretty bullish for the next 6 years...
For the next 37 years, at least.
Provided, of course, that the fantasyfuckwild democrats get re-elected continuously.

Gunds, ammo and cans of sardines and beef stew... what do you have to trade me?
How about this woman that just shouted at me for interrupting "dancing with the stars"?
How much do you think she weighs?
If things get really bad after the collapse, I might need to trade with cannibals.
ROFLOL! Best laugh I've had all week.

I believe you're referencing a macabre sense of humor and, yes, its been a hoot for quite some time. (Also known as gallows humor)
Bullish!
My mom went full retard in the stock market in 2008 and has just about doubled her money.
I warned her not to do it, but she was too retarded to listen and understand how risky it was.
Tell her to cash out, wait and buy the next fucking dip. Since it's your Mom, skip the adjective and just say buy the next dip.
I tried. I failed.
Hell maybe full retard is the way to go.
The doc said..
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
So maybe moms on to something
Although, what hunter considered weird then is now looking tame by comparison.
Anyway. Time for my bath....salts.
Our fiat is based on the woodpulp standard.

Stupid Fed. They went with Yellen, when they could have had Gideon Gono.
