Yesterday, they ran a story more or less ridiculing people for buying gold at these levels (complete with a quote from a stockbroker telling people that if you must buy gold, buy an ETF, not the real stuff). Now, in today's paper, there's a front page article, proclaiming how strong the local housing market is, complete with quotes from a realtor, a homebuilder, and some young airhead couple who just bought a house because they're tired of "making money for a landlord."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-12397168424230275342009-11-14T05:48:49.535-07:002009-11-14T05:48:49.535-07:00Kranny,

They can't be bothered with the responsibility of either heirarchal governement or the obligation of unity.<br /><br />Tis what it tis and I doubt it will change until the bullet exits the barrel. Too late then amigo... for all the doublespeak, there ought to be dsiclaimers on anything media: "Caution, this is designed to pick your pocket, retard any thoguht process and appeal to your aspirational self interest.<br /><br />I'll line up a pirate for exit on Isla Morada see you in early March~!<br /><br />Adios Mi Amigo,<br /><br />MacMiller Mackenziehttp://www.millermackenzie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-77357668263892344332009-11-13T06:38:44.481-07:002009-11-13T06:38:44.481-07:00gyc, you're right. more like 70-80% don't...gyc, you're right. more like 70-80% don't get it and those who do get it are in denial. but i run into many many people who think real estate is good value right now, the stock market is cheap, etc etc. I speak to a lot of potential upper middle class and wealthy prospective investors for my fund, and very few of them understand just how bad things really are. even more pathetic, it's incredible how many of them can listen to our investment thesis and still be of the view that the dollar is fine. these are mainly well-educated, self-made people.<br /><br />The Redskins are not a layup win. They can't put points on the board, they have a tough defense. If Denver, on the road, can't put points on the board once again, and they let the Redskins hang around, anything can happen. "Any Given Sunday" LOL.<br /><br />McDaniels made a change on the offensive line and hopefully he'll make some changes to his play calling - as in, let Orton air it out downfield a bit.<br /><br />How about Cutler tossing 5 picks? WOW. Even if Hester doesn't slip and knocks that ball down, it was still 4 picks, 2 in the red zone. He's thrown 9 red zone picks this year - the next closest is 3 QB's with 4 red zone picks.<br /><br />McDaniel's judgement there about Cutler is looking better and better.Dave in Denverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03016238915167131989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-71944168903091164062009-11-12T19:10:43.872-07:002009-11-12T19:10:43.872-07:00Dave,

Sad thing is they can do something about it, but I have failed to stir even an attempt from those I know.<br /><br />Reminds me of the classic Howard Beale rant from "Network" I just do not know what else to do.<br /><br />PS<br />Denver should get real healthy against the Skins this weekend, yes?

The most irritating thing about this Administrations bullshit is that they issue these comments like, "TARP payback will reduce our borrowing needs, or the healthcare bill will lower the deficit or the stimuls money saved almost 700k jobs." And yet, it's so easy to prove that they are either lying or retarded. They must assume that 90% of the country is ignorant and uninformed, and the 10% who get it don't determine elections.Dave in Denverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03016238915167131989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-63614296692151936952009-11-12T16:44:34.867-07:002009-11-12T16:44:34.867-07:00Dave,
