Really enjoyable... Truth is stranger than fiction.

Whoever said "you can't fight the fed" most surely is smiling right now.

Where is smooth operator?

For those that are still holding on to those short positions, the best description of you would be what was embossed on Samuel L jackson's wallet in Pulp Fiction.

Don't get me wrong Randall. I am by and large in cash meaning I didn't agree with the bulls. I am just making an observation that those that predicted a market crash when the dow was at 8000,9000,10000,11000 and now 12000 have been wrong and those that backed that opinion up with large sums of money are now large sums of money poorer.

The question is where we go from here. Any predictions?

To bad inflation doesn't create jobs and just robs people of their money....Stocks? Who cares what they do? They are disconnected from the real economy and real econ data. All lies all the time. We got the government we deserved.

i feel like i might possibly understand this better if it was another dell drunk post transcribed by mera.

outside of your use of the term "moron" as stocks have gone up for 23 months, what inflation are you talking about?

Are you that dumb? Do you not understand commodities? You belong in no thread on Econ. None.

rather than another zerohedge link can you put it in your own words?

and try to avoid the "what's about to happen" crap you've been consistently wrong about for 23 months.

tell me again how everyone who invested in stocks has actually lost money the last 2 years. double secret inflation and all.

"are you that dumb?" is close enough to "moron" that i'm counting it as another positive market indicator.

I posted the link to show the 1 yr performance of commods. That is all....And if you can see their performance and the fact that many of these will be passed through....I give up with you. I'm sure things are great with 44 million people on food stamps. You got it buddy. The stock market is all that matters.

commodities rising will definetly be passed through.

but just as certainly they're an indicator of an improving world economy. more manufacturing = more supply pressure.

i'll make a few easy predictions. we'll have $5 gas in the u.s in 2012. and after 2012 and we'll never see anything less. it won't ignite widespread inflation. and people who invest in stocks will do just fine.

the stock market isn't all that matters. but neither is the price of gold.

the day you agree with me is the day i sell.

Lacker from the Fed today.

"The distinct improvement in the economic outlook since the program was initiated suggests taking that re-evaluation quite seriously. That re-evaluation will be challenging, because inflation is capable of accelerating, even if the level of economic activity has not yet returned to pre-recession trend."

No ****.

Below are the states with the largest year-over-year percentage increase in food stamp recipients for the period ending November 2010.

Idaho (28.3 percent)
Nevada (27 percent)
Delaware (25.4 percent)
Utah (24.9 percent)
Florida (23.2 percent)
Maryland (22.1percent)
New Jersey (22 percent)
Texas (21.6 percent)
Rhode Island (21.4 percent)
New Mexico (19.4 percent)

Oil + Japan + Libya = Wild Rally

Go Figure

Gold at all-time high. Dollar at near all-time low. Go figure, everyone's standard of living goes to sh.it but you feel better about your stocks. This is the sad country we live in where people just can't do the math.

And when mom and pop mortgage what is left of their home equity to join the party the rug will be pulled out. That's how we roll in the United States of Goldman Sachs.
