Now can IBD, an otherwise normally sensible publication, post a retraction or something?

Very disappointing.

Why don't you ask them?

I've read both liberal and conservative viewpoints on their op-ed pages. And the fact that they give room to both is a far cry from what you might see on the op-ed pages of the major broadsheets.

In the first place, what does IBD have to do with it?

In the second place, why retract? It's all true, and more.

If, when the crisis comes - and it is near - it is the enemies of capitalism, not its defenders, who can say "I told you so", then capitalism will take the blame - again.

I don't get it -- what is so very disappointing?

Bill Gross, of PIMCO, one of the most respected bond traders in the world, did say this. It is reasonable for IBD to report that he said this.

Is your beef with IBD for reporting that Gross said this, or with Gross himself for stating this? Either way, I don't see grounds for your complaint, but since I can't even guess from your lament which it is, I don't know where to focus my rebuttal.

Yes, I see. Your point is that there are better reasons for the falling stock market than the far-fetched one suggested by John Tamny in IBD. But you should have referenced the article you complained of.

Did Schumer open his big mouth again?
