Exactly what I should expect from a know nothing youngster. Why I waste my time on someone like you a fucking mystery. (He goes by Norman to friends....of course you wouldn't know that.).
More and more people talk of the W shaped recovery. I mean, even 2001-2003 had a W shaped recovery of sorts with 2002 being a year of hope and 2003 getting worse.
You're one cranky, old bastard. That's one thing everyone agrees on. Tell Norman Stew Gots says hello. Thanks for getting this thread back OT. What I find interesting is that more and more relatively conservative (not politically; supply-side types) are talking about the nasty W happening, and oh what a nasty W it will be.
So why not report the good news, then, with your commentary on why it's marginal? Surely, that would be a more consistent approach? As to the rest of your post, I actually happen to agree with you, to a certain degree. My only complaint is that by presenting such a biased view of the world, you're not doing your viewpoint any favors.
Could be, although all the media I pay attention to (mostly the blogosphere, not the mainstream stuff) has been pronouncedly bearish, so I am not hearing a lot of 'green shoots' propaganda, to be honest. I also think there's worse to come, but I have become painfully aware of 'base effects' and the influence they can have on attitudes. At any rate, as I mentioned, I am not against BLSH and what he's doing. I just wish he'd be more balanced in presenting "relevant, timely" information, which, purportedly, is his purpose here.
I agree. This was the case in April/May but I hear way more bearish news than bullish. The "green shoots" fad is over. If anything, we need to post some bullish articles to counter the overly bearish sentiment going on at the moment.
It would be most constructive. Unfortunately, he and his "pea-sized" brain are unable to dissect any article with any kind of insight or depth of economic knowledge. Just today he posted a Bloomberg article on how CIT is being charged 25 times LIBOR on its loans to save it. Yet, he is so ignorant that he compares a 3-month rate like LIBOR to that of a 3-year loan. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=170864 In fact, he's already posted 24 times today with 90 minutes still left in the trading session. Cut and paste. Cut and paste. Cut and paste. How absurd.
