OK, tough guy.
You’ve demonstrated that you don’t know what you’re talking about despite your bluster and “assertions” with “accuracy.”
Your latest failed attempt to explain higher security prices is “commodities.” As I said gold only explains 20 to 30% at most, so you fall back to commodities in general.
The dollar must be depreciating vis a vis “commodities” and therefore security prices are higher. Which you have “explored enough in this arena” to utter yet more nonsense.
The Reuters/Jeffries CRB, the current version of the old CRB index (that’s right — go look it up) has sold at today’s prices (~295) in every year since ‘08. An index of 19 commodities, including metals. Since stocks bottomed in ‘09, the CRB is up about 25%. Gosh, that’s about the same as gold, and it still doesn’t explain 153%.
I attacked your specious “argument” because it was false and you don’t know whereof you speak.
At least you admit that the economy may have been growing.
Yet if you deny that the stock market is completely out of joint, completely out of any touch with reality, then you are as much a fool, as you are an asshole on this forum.
And you ARE an asshole on this forum. You approached me with insult, retorted with ridicule throughout, and somehow I am supposed to EMBRACE that kind of behavior? You try to influence, change a mind, or educate like THAT? You say we are all dunces and morons at Free Republic. So would you work to help that in any meaningful way? No, instead you act like a complete asshole the entire exchange.
Ergo: F*** off.
Oh, and you are as errant a debator as you are an asshole on this forum.
Go back and read what I wrote and come back when you can quote me right. KTHXBAI
