third year of a President's first term no less. NOT GOOD. I am looking around at a few beaten up mutts however. I think dogs are cool--what else can i say?

...thinking about these numbers. ...all the labor lost within them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2qy2wrwY-Q It's the picture of the empty womb of the Whore of Babylon under The Beast she rides, after falling off the saddle drunk from the wine of wrath in Chairsatan's BTFD Cup of Fornication, then getting mounted by The Beast (for three years Fed to ZERO) and aborting labor in due time, which she ''Fed'' to the Lion of Babylon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFcwY-EU_qs&feature=related

Yo.... Vet, I think everyone else has gone to bed. They have to go to work in the A.M.

I retired 1/1/11, That's 4 aces. I win. I use to go to work at 2:00 A.M., now I get up at 10:00 A.M.

I put all my money into PMs for over 10 years. I'm spending as fast as I can, but I can't keep up

with the rising price of PMs. I'm going to have to try harder because I don't want to leave a lot

of $ to my kids, they don't deserve it.

...Zorba, who loves you baby? You will have all the world suffer your claim of dominion. Such charity you offer the world. You cast your image upon us and mark us with your losses. Lol, Let's hope the edit feature still works for you, so such stupidity is not sealed.

Sold my SPY puts today, probably a little early and left a little on the table, nice profit though.

Part of the reason I sold is because I have large puts out on LNKD and CRM, two of the biggest pieces of shit with monster -- and undeserved -- P/Es in the hundreds. I think CRM is a 600 P/E, just laughable.

Want to see "repeating futures"?

Just watch this:  http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7643457725474129538#

It is a docu-movie about the Italian invasion of Libya before WW2.

It is not recommended for anyone of short attention span - better that you watch "American Idol" and Fox 'news'.

Disclosure: I have actually lived in Libya and I am reasonably certain that the current invasion of Libya spells defeat for NATO/NWO/Washington Empire over reach.

The least that can be said about this movie is that it entertains - it is very well made ... BUT probe deeper, if you can.

In the present day Qadafi bucked the IMF and usury.

That is why he had to go and why there is current genocide by NATO in Libya, just like what went before when it was only Italy killing Libyans.

Please attempt to watch what is going on NOW in Libya.

If CD and WB are reading what I write, then I hope that they might endorse my urging to watch http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7643457725474129538#

Watch cognitive dissonance/psychopathy at work.  Watch fascism in action ... and watch resistance in action.

Trouble is that it will take two hours of precious time which, otherwise, could be spent watching TV, shopping, trading with CDOs and whatever.

 Is to ZEROGAINS.  Where is Paulson when you need him? He threw 700 billion on the problem and we averted the great depression.

As most of you know, I do not understand the Markets - so with that understood, why do I have a gut instinct that we will very, very soon see the dow at 7,000 or less?

I am not counting on anything with these manipulated markets and corrupt politicians. Sure we could see a crash, but I think we could also continue to see a slow unwind. TPTB will pull all the stops behind the scenes to kick the can down the road. Inflation will be the tradeoff to prevent demise sooner than later. So this could take some time to unfold. There is just no way to know, tomorrow or ten years from now.
