the chorus: durr...the economy.

i never said a word about the economy and i don't give a f if he made real investments or not. he made the call in the face of all you geniuses who have been wrong for more than a year.

and randall: when it comes to equities, you've been rht since the beginning of this thread. i was wrong about gold and admitted it publicly a long time ago. time for you to do the same here.

Bailout after bailout. The housing market dead. Jobs slowly recovering but mostly double-minimum wage or less.

Yeah go all in on the market. They already f.ucked millions with their 401k. Credit dried up. People carrying ridiculous amounts of debt. Hardly any saving enough to retire.

Yeah it's peachy.

Some math at 3pm

Dollar Index down .83% (not cherry picking b/c that's against all currencies)

S&P up .5%

You lose for the day.

Better yet, since no one has any faith in the dollar you get it in the butt---how you ask? Well that .83% decline has resulted in oil being up 2.04% on the day....Do you drive? Do you like food? How does that food get to where you buy it? How do the tractors run to get the food? Do you travel? Do you heat your home?

Any way you paint it, if you followed Smooth Operator over the last 18 months, you would be ahead. Is this not correct?

" (Never mind that priced in dollars when adjusted for the debasement, they're not actually going up at all.... and your salary sure as hell hasn't gone up 7% in the last month either. Incidentally a 7% monthly rate compounded over the year implies a 225% annualized inflation rate, which is the gain you'd have to have in your salary to keep pace with this crap.)"
