  1. By turning this into a childish insult thread you are denying the forum to more mature and more useful commentary. In other words SHUT THE F'k UP.

    That's a nice article. You can see from the response you got that some of these folks here are not really interested in learning anything, and that is why I sometimes don't bother to respond to them or their insults.

    What I have found rather fascinating is the wide misunderstanding of QE among Wall Street Fund managers and Traders. I also find it interesting that real economists like Martin Feldstein, who is very political, and doesn't like the recent policies of the central bank very much, love to refer to QE as "money printing" in the common media. They know that "money printing " has a very negative connotation among the public, whereas very few really understand QE. But we can rest assured that Feldstein knows very well the differences between QE and actual printing, and we can also rest assured that he knows he is misleading people when he refers to QE as printing. It's intentional in his case..

    So many economists, even occasionally Bernanke himself, in unguarded moments-- though I imagine he wishes he hadn't -- have referred to QE as printing. It is common place among economists, but of course they are not misleading their colleagues, because all professional economists understand the very important differences between printing and QE. In general, the media doesn't get it at all, and in general Wall Street, and particularly traders, are rather pathetic in their lack of understanding of Central Bank operations.

    By the way, that was a good link I gave to zdreg, though he didn't appreciate it. There are some beyond help..

  8. debt free? And who is gonna lend to them the next 10 years? And who is gonna touch them even with gloves? You mean they fuck the Europeans and then turn around and open the doors to the Chinese in exchange for physical assets as collateral the same assets they rejected to pledge before? How so? Are you dreaming?

  10. before Florida, now NJ, lol. Bedding in Elisabeth or Bayonne? Lol. Nite Pal

    How is living in NJ not redneck from NY's perspective btw? I highly doubt you are teaching or in any way affiliated with Princeton. I can't think of a whole lot of other place in NJ that are considered livable. Or catching up with getting your college diploma in night classes at Rutgers? :):):)
