And you base this on what, exactly? Just because you say so? I suppose we should just ignore the Dollar index's historical role as a leading...
Then essentially your argument is "this time it's different". Sorry, that argument has never flown before and it doesn't fly now. People always...
Nope, I'm saying that neither the 2003 low nor the 2009 low were the ultimate lows for the markets during the current era of stagnation. That...
Fact remains, nowhere did I see you suggesting an impending collapse for the markets before it happened, nor did I see you suggesting an impending...
That is correct. But I'm talking about the larger secular bear market. The current era of stagnation began in 2000 and will not end for at least...
But that's exactly what you're saying in essence, you just don't realize it. There has NEVER in history been a major bear market during an era of...
Well, as I stated the idea is to elect representatives to government who DON'T fit that mold. Note that I never said simply vote Republican....
Ding ding ding! We have a winner. Unfortunately, it won't play out that way. The military industrial complex will see to it that defense...
If there's a silver lining, it's that this bill won't kick in until 2014. That means we've got 2 Congressional election cycles and 1 presidential...

Has nothing to do with what I "come up with". The facts do not require you to agree with them for them to be true nonetheless. I'd suggest...
The part that you're missing is it's not just the mortgage defaults themselves that are the problem, it's the leverage derived from them that...
Not really. At best what it would mean is we'd simply repeat the Japanese experience, i.e. drag the collapse out over a much longer time frame...
Actually that's false. Many of the mortgages still set to reset were teaser rate loans, in which case the payments will shoot up big time. Don't...
Sure. I don't presume to know the exact date or level at which the markets will top out and begin to turn back down as reality sets in. All I...
It's really no different than one making up their mind about the direction of the market over the next 10 minutes, or hour or day. And that's...
Looks like we'll have to politely agree to disagree, then.
Actually, we're right on track, if you consider the historical parallels of the First Great Depression or Japan. In particular the First Great...
Guess whatever you want. I'm laddering into short positions on the Euro now. That's all you need to know. We'll see how it plays out, won't we?
