Does it matter? Obama has their backs
No Angie, your great grandkids do.
And both charts say they are screwed.
No, your great grandkids do NOT. This bill is due NOW.
Chart A: Death Spiral
Chart B: Cliff Dive
Chart C: should be all of the above for XLF
Thats a good point too I like to make it myself...this talk of 'Your grandkids will pay dearly for this' is total nonsense, you will pay dearly for this very soon!
With a 99% confidence... There is no statistical difference between those waterfalls starting the mont of August.
Conclusion - It don't matter. The boyz club will be rangtanged!
Maybe people just feel more comfortable with the thought that it won't be them paying this bill. It wouldn't make me, but it's a ridiculous thought anyway. The very people who will suffer the most are those who are alive today.
chart a GS
chart b bac
Chart A GS
Chart B BAC
NO, NO, NO! Bring back the old slaughterer. I didn't recognize you by your picture. Certainly didn't think of you as a , "put a bag over her head" type.
chart A: bac overlayed almost perfectly by gs.
chart B: our dear leader's popularity poll index
+1... Hilarious
Chart B: Bullshit Barry's 'promptering getting old with the Amerikan public...
Not that C and MS do much better.
A =Goldman
What about B?
do you work for the SEC? Oh, I have that shredder you ordered.
Bottom is BAC, but does it really matter? At least GS was the first to hire a lawyer. Still not sure why those doing "God's work" would need a super attorney?
lying to Congress, just like Roger Clemens. We did not take steroids | I mean money from the Fed besides what I told you we took.
Congress investigating baseball players about performance enhancing stuff, I think is a waste of Congressional (I mean "our") time and money, although, yes, it is a huge business and should not enjoy anti-trust exemption or other blessings.
But Congress investigating bankers about their performance enhancing stuff, that goes to the heart of the matter.
From doing "Gods work." to "The Devil made me do it." It appears GS wants to go to confession at Father Weingarten's CON-fessional.
Better than lawyers, the executive branch is already pressuring the NY Boys to back off the bankers.
Puke then Pitchforks
A is BAC
B is goldman
A shit
B crap
how long till the compost is ready?
A_ GS
B_BAC

SELL MORGAN STANLEY TILL 0.3 price to book value
First one shows a fat candle, also known as the Blankenfein-lawyer candle.
Second one shows a bank with that is in a death-spiral.
yep
GS chart is horrible... went from 195$ hi into 110..
there's NO support here.. multi year chart looks like extended branch..
its a bit scary..GS is THE backbone of financial system.. i dont think its Mr Blankfain problem,,
otherwise wise guys at top would get rid of him already..its something diffrent...
its all look like spring of 2008..
alx
Most GS employees have been shorting GS in their personal accounts for the last few weeks. Do not think this is not going according to plan. It is.
A is Goldman sucks
B is BoA'holes
Both look like shitigroup
HA HA,. down the plughole together nice
The point is ; banks are market leaders, so if they are going down, the stock markets
will soon follow.
Weaker fundamentals=Stronger technical downtrend
Thus, A=GS, B=BAC.
I think this quiz is pretty good to understand the relation between technical analysis and fundamentals.
You really don't have to know the charts beforehand to get this one right.
Surprised?

Are these charts the inverse of their three year Billion Dollars Bonuses?
it looks like 2 losers in the elimination round of the LL World Series
2008 or 2011?
Both charts look very bullish! BTFD yo!
Tyler, add two more charts and allow four choices. The two charts being Obama's approval rating of the economy and the overall approval rating of Congress.
Those are Bernanke and Geithners bowel movements during the past 48 hours.
Color in original.
Too graphic for my breakfast... but accurate...
WB, the way I read this chart.. their shit will hit something soon
.....fat tails were the tell?????
What about the J. P. Morgue?
They keep funneling SNAP money, they are all good...
Busily beating down Ag.
A is goldenstein
B is bankrupt of america
Why isn's Geithner appearing daily on TV stuttering, sweating and waving a 3-page "TARP 2" bill in front of the camera? He is letting down his buddies.
He would look like a midget - uh, make that Little Person - doing an impression of Henry Paulson.
When does the Oracle from Omaha buy back in...that is what I am going to watch..he probably has a tax refund he could spend....or a loophole he could use....let the other guy pay more taxes you know
And The Answer is:
C. the BKX
A is a graph of insolvent bank which part owns the government and is used purely to extort wealth from the people to its real owners.
B is a graph of insolvent bank which part owns the government and is used purely to extort wealth from the people to its real owners.
A = POS central banker criminals.
B = POS central bankster criminals.
Before this is over many of these insolvent banks will have the same looking charts.
And we are getting the rest and correction in gold. Miners down today. I find that amazing, earnings based on 1,400+ on gold, gold correcting to 1860 and they sell miners. What a bunch of morons.
Oh, I forgot , gold going back to 800. Right. Just stay off of margin and enjoy the ride. We can see up to a 200 dollar drop to get rid of the short term froth. And the chart would look much better also. Gold can have short and violent moves as most of you know.
Looking to add physical, come on down.
Looks like the 2011 Collapse edition of Missile Command to me...
Chart A -- Möhne Dam
Chart B -- Eder Dam
Why do both charts look like they will cost me money even though I don't own either stock?
I I I I I I I, I I I think both charts are just fine !
Oh, I get it. This is the "there will tanks in the streets" if you do not pass Tarp II.
Do we all get a free cyberspace ice cream cone or something like that for making a 100?
Top one is GS.
The clue is that BAC had the long steady slide, and Goldman had an extreme dump day in red at the end, when Blankfein hired Weingarten.
The Similarity of A and B
At least a HFT, corporate (bankster) owned governance regulated, controlled fraud market is consistent...
Chart A is surely GS.
Chart B is the declining value of the MERS-assigned, Countrywide funneled into BAC home loan on the house I am occupying (I have to say "occupying" instead of "living in" to satisfy the underpinning negativity of my two deadbeat siblings - one of whom wanted to do a deed in lieu of foreclosure two years ago, the other who refuses to believe that the house will ever be worth anything or belong to the estate without recourse and won't put up any money to pay RE taxes - my father passed away two years ago last month and the house (and CW mortgage) passed to the rightful heirs, me being one of them).
Big house. No mortgage. NY state property taxes (highest in the country) but reduced by 33% on value of 2009 appraisal.
Sooooooo... I am OCCUPANT for now, but will be title holder soon enough. When BAC goes under, and they will, no doubt, I, an intelligent being with internet access, will file claim for quiet title, wait until dust settles from BAC bankruptcy and own home free and clear.
Siblings will each get a third, minus taxes and upkeep which they refused to participate in at all.
Valuation, you ask? Well, in 2007, when my father took out the loan, the assessed value was $124K. The loan was for $87,500, though the home was only worth about $85K, if that. Appraised in 2009 for $82K and continuing to drop.
My eventual purchase price basis will be cost of any litigation, filing fees, my research, time, nominal expenses, taxes paid, maintenance, repairs/improvements (mounting daily) and incidental costs. Thus, fair value would be determined on the new, lower basis, probably around $30K. $10K to each sibling means I would owe the other two about $3K each. Eat cake, kiddies!
Take that, bankster A-holes. And to my brother and sister, who refused to believe in my ability to beat back a foreclosure (filed in 3/10 and now DOA), good luck to you both.
Eventually, I will sell the house, exchange cash proceeds for as many Kruggers as it will buy and resettle in Uruguay. C YA'LL!
I don't see any charts... All I see are those famous cliffs in Acapulco that those crazy guys dive off of...
The last thing I want to see is a GS Broker in a speedo.
Chart A is God's work.
