Reggie Middleton

I predicted this clearly, with loads of evidence, last spring. I even tipped the SEC/UK authorities. Tthe chickens come home to roost. Let it be known, Wall Street's margin IS my business model!!!

I go at Krugman again for speaking about something of which he seems to understand relatively little about. I actually have some help this time around, though.

UltraCoin -> PayPal -> Disintermediation -> Margin Compression -> Icahn -> Old School

The Future of Money: The Dumb Dollar vs Smart, Programmable Currencies!

Yes, I truly do feel its that simple. I saw the property bubble over a year in advance, cashed out and came back in shorting - all for a very profitable round trip. Was I a genius soothsayer? Well, maybe in my own mind, but the reality of the situation is I was simply paying attention. Let's recap:

Only in the realm of US bank earnings can a 4x occurance be credibly accepted as "one time"! I can feel the hate already...

When Risk Premium on Canadian lending oustrips real interest rates at same time Bail-in provisions are implemented, is the writing on the wall (street)?

This is at least the 3rd country to take citizen and private corporation's money in order to make themselves whole after profligate spending. How many times must I warn before the message is taken seriously? Interest rates should be spike through the stratosphere, Bernanke or not!!!
