Re: Sandy's small business victims: We don't want loans!

Actually these people are sensible. The govt constantly wants to make you a debt slave. Take on more loans! Cmon - its only debt! This is what they do to college students. "Can't afford the $28K outrageous tuition? Take on loans!"

Like this wasnt happening under Bush. Or Clinton. Or Bush 1? NAFTA baby - free trade, send em jobs overseas so that a small group of capital owners can make more and more profits. In the old days the profits got recycled into this economy lifting all boats but in the new era it need not. This is the beauty of globalization. At least McCain was honest when he said those jobs are not coming back... but keep blaming it all one one party or the next. Hint; THEY ARE THE SAME PARTY - its a 2 headed medusa - controlled by the lobbyists dollars of the elite. They sit here and must laugh at all these sniping comments between one party and the next while they rob one generation after another.

So these are the 47% - tsk tsk. If we only remove all the benefits they will glide back off their couches and into the workforce. Jobs will be created from the heavens (but only after you cut taxes yet again for the 1% - remember all those jobs created in 2001 and 2003 from that tax cut?)

Yes even the 80 year olds - work em til they keel over. GOP Style...

I think most of the twists and questions came via the mutterings of the SEALs. The guy at the bar saying this was all because of him, plus the sick guy on the bed who muttered something before they pulled the curtain around him. Not every show with an island is like "LOST" or whatever - enjoy it for what it is. More like a Tom Clancy novel; Hunt for Red October theme.

I would say Robert Sinn must be long a bunch of utilities and consumer staples and perhaps a dash of healthcare and financials for this miracle to happen.

I cannot imagine a scenario where *THE* leadership stock of the move drops 8-9% and the index ignores it and rallies 4%. Apple is now 4% of SP weighting to boot, it would require such a divergence ...

Yes, tell me the next 50 pts in Apple, and I tell you the next 50 pts in S&P. It's become that dominant (10% NASDAQ)

"The authors also point out that in market conditions which display “positive drift” (uptrending) stop-losses (they only seem to address long positions using sell stops) are a net negative on investment returns"

I resemble that remark

5 minutes of Ben Bernanke being wrong on just about everything.

http://www.youtube.com/watc... If every solution was to simply flood the system with money, than Bernanke was even more of a genius than Greenspan. Let's give it a decade before saluting Ben. Greenspan was a genius in 2000-2005 for ending recessions, creating a housing boom, and a stock market boom. He is not viewed as favorably in 2012.
Let's check back on Ben in 2022.

Re: http://www.robertsinn.com/2012/03/14/bernanke-the-hero/

TraderMark — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 10:58:22 -0000

Greenspan also looked like a hero circa 1999-2000 for creating a backdrop (with Clinton) of tiny recessions and a booming stock market. He also looked like a hero for an awesome housing market half a decade later. Remember the "great moderation"?

In retrospect by not allowing small fires he created the fire of our generation and really the past 3. Much like a forest needs these brush fires to get rid of dead wood.

The story on Bernanke won't be written for a decade or more. The view of Greenspan in 2012 is very different than 2002. Let's check back in 2022 on Bernanke.

Re: Living on less than $2 a day - Economy

TraderMark — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 01:24:51 -0000

As an aside there are about 115M "households" in the country, so accounting for food stamps less than 800K qualify for this measure, which again I am sure is subsidized by countless other programs (child credit, welfare, housing subsidies et al) - so we're talking 0.7% of the population of households.

THat said being "poor' is under counted by the government as a single person making $14K doesnt qualify for govt guidelines of poverty nor does a family of 4 making $25K.

Bernanke & Partners is the best hedge fund in the land - it can create its own money.
