  1. Nothing will pull out a marooned rat from sea water. I will let the Ocean take care of you. If you were smart you would look around and see what I see and act. Life isn't this bad in America. Your government made some speedy decisions for you. Had you lived in Sudan and Sri Lenka you would be grazing with bullocks.

    I had a nice day with stocks zooming up and shorts scattering like cockroaches in daylight, it was fun making money. This was a nice follow through day with a clear message more bullish action is in the works.

    Get out of the way or get smoked out.

  2. A measure of the value of goods and services produced in a year.

    If you don't account for inflation, the measuring stick of "value" keeps moving. If you inflate the crap out of the currency, does that mean you are growing GDP???

    But what if the inflation number they give you is wrong - as in being too low???

    From Bloomberg:

    MasterCard shares have surged 86 percent in the past year as consumers switched to credit and debit cards from cash and checks. American Express Co. and Discover Financial Services, rivals that make consumer loans in addition to running networks, have declined more than 15 percent as a slowing U.S. economy caused more customers to miss payments.

    This speaks volumes to me. Of course Day will probably interpret it as happy consumers without a care in the world incresing their spending as the economy continues to improve.

  4. I can't believe you people still respond to this dimwit. Seriously, he's just trolling to get you people to respond. He gets his rocks off every time you pick a fight with him. Just ignore the thread. Put him on ignore.

    He'll go away, back under the rock he came from.

  5. Always doubt, cringe, bemoan, grudge, and despair. Why not come out and say these numbers are fine ( since you can't control them anyhow and there is not much you can do to generate such data and work it through) and I am going to live an optimistic life.

    Jim Cramer said something very valuable today:

    NEGATIVITY+ STUPIDITY = BUY buy BUY....

  6. RESPONSE:

    I will not crawl under a rock from jackasses like you. You happen to be the dimwit who can't stand on hind legs.

    IF you challenge me I will rise to the occasion ( if I feel like it).

    So, you're making money left & right. Great! I will sleep so much better tonight...
    If you're making so much money, why are you bitching and moaning every day? Not enough attention? Or you wanna be the next Tony Robbins?
    Thank you for the compliments, by the way.
