My brother’s that way. He bought gold for $800 back in 1980. Told me to sell all my equities in October ‘02. He’s a perfect contrary indicator.

Annualized return: 0.11%

I hope your brother keeps his day job.

He’s retired. Always whining about being broke. Every time he gets a little ahead, it burns holes in his pockets. Been that way all his life.

Agreed, we broke our numbers today and my district trashed our goals. I haven’t seen a rush like that in a long time.

Damn straight! The doom and gloom crowd swallowed MSM hook, line and Stinker.They are advocates of contraction, not expansion.Reminds me of the old guy that said to me”Best way to double your money is fold it over and put in back in your wallet”, while sitting in his rented apartment overlooking his 78’ Granada in the potholed parking lot.

And Rush is just a cheerleader. You obviously haven’t listened to Beck.

” You obviously haven’t listened to Beck.”

He lost me after a week of dire warnings that dozens and dozens of schools were gonn a be raided and bombed by AQ.

Just a tad shrill and alarmist. Besides that, he`s ok.

I'm pretty sure he described that entire week as their "perfect day" aka a possibility. I dont recall him saying this was imminent or anything close to that. Granted, it probably wont happen but I'm not going to fault him for pointing out the very real threat and the possibility. By all means, dont allow yourself to be educated.

You've also side-tracked the argument. Everything is not all peaches and cream with our economy and that liberal tactic of smear everyone as a doom and gloomer for pointing out obvious(at least to some of us) cracks is really stupid.

you are right. i heard rush’s argument today and it was a 1 dimensional argument based on 3rd grade (and i am being generous) logic.

basically, “black friday was 8% better than last year, therefore, ‘all is well’”

forget dollar collapse, billion dollar trade deficit, 12 trillion dollar debt, etc, etc.

everyone shopped at chinamart, er, walmart yesterdy so ‘all is well’
