So panic buying is ok, but panic selling is not?  

Fuck this market.  I hope the whole thing burns to the ground.

it's time for one of those reports that tells us how under water all the pension plans are.   Which I still can't figure out.  They were under water with the dow at 10k...seems like the bond/stock market bubble would have lifted them into the clouds, but they are STILL upsidedown.   Well, now they are MORE upside down and peak retirement is just around the corner.

Well, well, well.  Haus, you read my mind. As well as thousands of other longs who would have just liked to sell out after a 7 year run to protect their profits (Ah, fuck them!  They have no rights in a down market.  Hunt Brothers forced liquidations mentality.) or even "hedge" or just take something off the table to fell safer.
What the fucks wrong with that?
You know, it's always shit like this makes it worse.  If it's a market, just let it function, but Oh Fucking No, gotta fiddle fuck with it every single last Goddamned way and screw up the entire world via Central Planning.

Hey, maybe I can open a Lemonade Stand to make a few extra pennies?  Oh yeah, that's illegal, too.

Jump you fuckers!

Here's the thing. All of your 7 year gains were manufactured bullshit. And now you are bitching that "market" manipulation prevents you from locking in your manipulated gains. Queer logic.

This pronouncement from our Dear Leader:

"It is everyone's patriotic duty to support the economic recovery. Your savings have been taken from private hands and placed under government safekeeping. Do not worry, your money is safe with us. You will be able to withdraw a monthly stipend- enough to buy coarse bread, turnips, and kasha gruel, so that you may have the physical strength to work in a government controlled industry, making shell casings, or digging coal. Had we not intervened, you would be living in chaos, grubbing and fighting with your neighbors over garbage scraps. Remember, servitude is not just freedom- it is the BETTER freedom."

So why did silver get creamed overnight, while gold is holding steady? Just to add to the confusion, I suppose? I know those numbers are just for show so central planners can sleep at night, but still cannot discern any reason to it. Maybe I just answered my own question. Going long sadness and moral decay.
