    There's a difference between saying "during my lifetime, the probability is that I will be involved in a car accident" on one hand, and on the other, driving with my feet because I like to text. One is probability and the other is bad behavior. The conclusion may be the same.

    Hear that, Captain? The rise of gas and food prices aren't bothering anyone.

    It doesn't matter so long as his bullshit is discredited and people who wander into these threads and don't know aren't fooled into thinking like he does. If even one person is averted from that mentality, I consider it a victory.

    You're always going to be able to find a justification for crying and wringing your hands. It's a mindset that precedes observation.

    You could, yes. But I wasn't always negative on the economy like this. That tells me two things - first, I'm not an ignorant perma bull like yourself. Second, I am aware of not only what the market should do, but what it will do.

    Not so, I get pms from time to time about stuff I post. But no, I'm not on a mission, so to speak. But if we are to escape the perils of the future, we need to be aware of the idiots of the past. And what better time to identify them then when they are being the fools they are?

    No. We're arguing cost-push inflation vs. demand-pull.
