That is nice of you to say. I am not a professional trader and as a layman on the street I have witnessed and been part of several Market ups and downs and researching sites for years and years and also believe they have the edge in what is up for real.
Tylers relentless items of markets and news that really keeps your eye on the ball is amazing.
Thanks T-Bond for bringing me out to say it.
Cheers Zerohedge and thanks

So Tbond, after seeing what electronic trading did for the markets, how do you feel about electronic voting? I think it would be a disaster. Not that our votes count for anything anyway
Where I live (mega blue) the dead people still vote, so my vote has been wasted all along.
I would go back to open outcry in a second. The markets in the 80's were real price discovery.
Especially October 0f 1987.
Black Monday Oct 19th 22% down in one day. Other than a few bidless vacums the locals made a market. Now HFT jams the data and front runs it and all is good. If your not already in you can't get in.
I'm not a professional, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express.
I traded for years and retired early during the Middle Earth era of buy and hold, Tech bubble, and some real estate. Not since November 2007. Now it's about asset protection. I love ZH because the analytics and insights along with the humor and entertainment are fantastic. It's like using a swizzle stick to look 6 months into the future. I also come for the comments section which are also insightful and hysterical.
BTW, I also paid an extra $250 donation to access the Bernanke office live webcam. It was well worth it.
Don't you know the Fed runs ZH? They're busy collecting all of our IP addresses to raid our homes...you know, the 95% of PM holders. This has all been an elaborate multi-year trap to make you feel relaxed and safe on this site...but now the trap is about to be sprung I tell you! ha ha ha ha ha!
good thing i've changed addresses four times in the last twelve months, and all my shit is buried. plus, there's no paper trail of a purchase.
Bear market my ass.
I loaded up heavily on bank stocks today-invested 0.00056% of my fortune, an amount that would have paid for most of you dickheads' college, if you woudn't have had to pimp out your mothers to pay it off.
I mean, it's all good.....
Oy yeah, another thing-this will be deleted in ten minutes.
I call your arrogance and raise you FAZ.
OY VEY, another Yid! Vould you like some latkes?
Weird, just weird.
Just a dik that couldn't pass the math ? from old daze.
Here's the portfolio:
MEATALS: copper, aluminum and lead. Forget precious metals, that's a sucker's game.
Stocks: The Best,try to own a block if you can: IBM
Bonds: The long end of the Turkish yield curve.
The other 99.42584% of your fortune should be hidden somewhere in the CENTRAL states of America.
In case of invasion.
There, I've given you the secrets to my massive fortune.
$20 doesn't seem that massive to me.
I pimped out my self to the USMC for 10 years. Now the VA (the taxpayer) is paying for my college edge-a-macation!
What banks do you like? What banks don't you like? Where do you think Citi is heading?
You earned every cent which is more than I can say for the expediture of most tax dollars.
Semper Fi
By all means, please go all in. After all, stocks are a bargain at these prices.
zh doesn't delete comments.
maybe it's your fail ass pentium II.

This guy is a stock broker and in my opinion has not had enough play.He wrote and sings "The Bailout rap".If you have not heard it ,you are really missing out. you will like this.
The song is also a message to Hank Paulson.

I sure hope ZH doesn't go { HUFFINGTON PUKE} with this site!?
Horrific thought, why?
Yen, out of curiosity, why are you up? FX is closed. It amazes me to see you this excited.
Me, I'm just enjoying mass TAP products.

You're poor because you're uneducated and quite possibly lazy, but by all means, place the blame on others if it helps salve your gaping headwound.

Dude, you just lay off of my man Obama, because he has a plan for the economy, and he will let us know what it is, just as soon as he gets back from his vacation. Yes, and it is a LOT better than his last plan too! It puts shovel ready jobs to shame man. This won't be the summer of recovery bitch, this will be the DECADE of recovery. You just watch. (Hint: it starts with getting S&P out of the way)
Smiddy, you're crackin' me up...
Rofl, off YT:
NEWSFLASH? #OMG
Washington, DC -- Obama today announced his plan to CHANGE our national symbol from a Bald Eagle to a latex condom, declaring the latter a more accurate depiction of the values powering his promised "fundamental transformation" of our nation.
His teleprompter read: "A condom allows for inflation, kills productivity, eliminates any carbon footprint of a next generation, protects a bunch of dicks, and gives people a sense of security while they're actually being screwed."

If i had any money to play the market I would. Whenever there's an uptick in homeless folks at the shelter, there's always a market crash a few weeks later. About a month ago there was a huge influx of new and returning people who lost their jobs or are homeless for the first time.
This is as close to the street as data can get. on-the-street in every sense of the phrase.
The reverse is true as well. The poorest of the poor always feel the affects first as we are highly sensitive to the fluctuations of the economy.

I am a paleocon, and I swear, on my honor, that I will go out and actively campaign for Obama, rather than vote for Ron Paul.
I have never hated a candidate based on how reprehensible his supporters are before.
I do now.
Fuck you Ron Paul, and fuck your supporters even more.
Nice to (C) you! Been abroad! Let's Talk... Yen.
How's it?
I am filled with my 15 minutes of hate at the moment.
I hope life finds you well.

Hang on, got more. Dam Video snarfer isn't working on them, tho.
50% sarc. I am too poor to drive a car, and that means I do not listen to the radio. I do watch CNBC, but they only play the music that is not currently being used by MSNBC the licenses are tricky like that.
So apprently there is a singer called Adele. she made a video for a song called rolling in the deep.

my question is who is the dude dancing? Is it Guy Fawkes? Tyler Durden? Ron Paul? John Gault?
Will somebody give me a (forgivable) student loan to figure this out?
About 3/4 in, she sings this line:"turn my sorrow into precious gold". So, I think the dancing dude is Bernanke.
Tyler, maybe next weekend you should, in addition to a bear market thread, add a "circle jerk" thread for all of these bitchez
We all respect you for jerking off alone. Bye.
Cheezy, why do you piggyback on another poster with 0" BUZZ SAW " guts! Where is CDAD? Where is 777, and C/D?
Not sure I understand your comment. If you are suggesting I am afraid to comment in a snarky fashion to the regular contributors that you mentioned, then:
Maybe you could clarify your point, so I can respond to you in kind.
Fuck, that's funny :-) I caught two out of three (missed the C/D stink nose one) LOL.
Trav is 7777.
Tried a reach around on you, but nothing was there.
Okay, but you have to eat the cookie.

Yet another FDIC Bank failure Friday. Just noticed this:
Total Bank failures from 2004 thru 2007 = 7
Total Bank failures from 2008 thru 2011(to date) = 390
So far that is a 5,471% increase.
snark: So, do you have something against the glass man?
What? Translation?
A Glass man is someone who repairs windows after they are broken in a process called creative destruction.
This video gives some context. "Glass man" is specifically refered to at 02:43.

S&P Just downgraded Venezuela to B-.
Now, that couldn't have anything to do with Venezuela demanding the Bank of England repatriate 99 tons of gold back to Venezuela roughly 24 hours ago, now could it?
The timing? Perhaps. But that rating likely reflects the rampant inflation and recent nationalization of their gold mining industry so it's not exactly wrong either.
