in Taibbi Goes On Air on Zero Hedge
Why is everyone so ga-ga over this article? For as interesting a writer as Taibbi is ... there is little substance in this article. There is almost nothing in the way of serious analysis to back up his thesis. His thesis may be accurate, but no discerning person could reach that conclusion from reading the article.
1 reply
Deferred Comp I guess I'm not discerning. What's your conclusion ? Exemption from position limits in the futures markets along with classifying their commodities arm as a hedger rather than a speculator doesn't pass the smell test. While you are at it take a look at what Goldman did to SemGroup. The only serious analysis you need is the crude oil chart for the past 18 months. Goldman wasn't alone, but how is it that one firm comes out on top almost all of the time ? I don't buy the best and the brightest myth. The fix is in.

Didn't Apple do something similar to this awhile ago?

"Hi I'm a Mac"

"And I'm a PC"
1 reply
PC jkip, uh, let's think this through a bit, shall we? The "I'm a Mac" ads don't advertise on price. Apple uses quality and value as its unique selling proposition. In fact, a recent "I'm a Mac" ad poked "PC" on the notion of what cheapness can buy.

Conclusion on your point above: FAIL

in Ballard pizza to be certified true Napoletana on My Ballard
Yes. Capri, Rome, and Tuscany. Capri's pizza was some of the best I've ever had. The pizza in Rome and Tuscany was average, which is not surprising given those regions are not known for their pizza.

in Avatar: Letter From A Crewperson on MarketSaw - 3D Movies & Technology
Has anyone pointed out the hypocrisy of a "loyal crewperson" trying to grab attention or internet notoriety by writing something like this? At least everyone else (except for "woodsprite") has the loyalty to legitemately keep their mouths shut.
1 reply
gigglesMcfidget Exactly...especially revealing plot points. Its one thing to tip your hat to loyal fans but this letter goes beyond that. its a good way to break NDA and never work again. Hopefully this "crew member" realizes the repercussions a post like this can have on his career

in Ballard pizza to be certified true Napoletana on My Ballard
The Napoletana certification means nothing. Tutta Bella has it and IMO their pizza is garbage. Every pizza I've had from them (only a few before we stopped going back) was thrown together like slop and undercooked, not to mention overpriced. I once ordered prosciutto on one of the pizzas and it was so bad I had to pick it off the pizza before eating it.

Pagliacci's margherita pizza, when done right ... it varies, is one of the best pizzas you can get in Seattle...again IMO. Via Trib in Capitol Hill and Queen Anne are also very good. The Fremont location sucks.

1. End fiat currency.
I don't care how smart everyone says you are you aren't smart enough to tweak/run the world economy.

2. End unlimited corporation lifetimes.
There is no good [for humans] purpose under heaven that needs limited liability for an unlimited time.

in Goldman Sachs: "Engineering Every Major Market Manipulation Since The Great Depression" on Zero Hedge
Can all financial disasters from the 29 crash to today be neatly pinned on one company?

The one private company responsible is NOT GS but the FEDERAL RESERVE and their fiat money.


"Banking was conceived in iniquity and born in sin. The Bankers own the earth. Take it away
from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of the pen they will
create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away that power, and all the great
fortunes like mine will disappear — as they ought to in order to make this a happier and better
world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of Bankers and pay the cost of your own
slavery, then let them continue to create deposits.”
Sir Joshua Stamp (1880-1941), one time governor of the Bank of England, in his
Commencement Address at the University of Texas in 1927.

Most states do not allow custodial parents to withhold visitation rights because payments aren't made. You are still responsible for making any agreed child support payments, but he cannot keep you from seeing the child. Get the police involved. Follow your possession order to the letter.

in 036: Fat Hate vs. Fat Acceptance on the musings of a fatshionista
I'm all for a girl looking however she wants to look - fat, skinny, jeans and a tee or teatime dress. But when magazines start plastering the photos of post-weight loss celebs with the phrase "FREE AT LAST", I get angry. What, is being fat akin to slavery? Am I in bondage and servitude to the fat until I lose 40 lbs?? Fuck that.

Tracy If you are referring to the picture in the post, that is from the Essence interview Mo'Nique gave where she discussed her past as a victim of sexual abuse.

in Zero Hedge On Fox Business on Zero Hedge
The reason why this is the #1 blog on the internet is that it's not just a pure opinion site. It does research and presents a lot of data from different sources. I love the Bloomberg captures for examples.

Mish -- good site, but not a lot of original data or research. Lots of opinion
Market Ticker -- good site, but too much rants about trying to overthrow the government
Calculated Risk -- GREAT site. This is almost on par with zero hedge. I love the graphs and charts that the produces

Zero Hedge -- #1 site. Love the bloomberg data. The letters from hedge fund managers. The actual GM/Chrysler bankruptcy PDF documents. TD's research on the GS SLP trading activity, Marla's research in dealerships.

Keep up the good work man.
