So it would be even better to have this half quadrillion dollars based on just $1 at stake? Seems like if I owed that real dollar I could have some real power. What did I do with Bernanke’s phone number?

[nicmarlo]

BTW, I STILL notice, however, that you stated nothing concerning my LENGTHY post.

[Toddsterpatriot]

There is more to this problem than just the derivatives, though that has also caused/created more problems.

Really?

Asking questions to others about their thoughts or concerns regarding derivatives does not equate to a THREAD ABOUT DERIVATIVES.

Especially when the people I ask know so little.

So it would be even better to have this half quadrillion dollars based on just $1 at stake?

If the most that could be made or lost was $1, would the idiots who don't understand anything about derivatives whine any less?

Seems like if I owed that real dollar I could have some real power.

Here's a dollar, knock yourself out.

If you are so "brilliant" concerning derivatives, toad, POST SOMETHING of substance concerning YOUR OWN explanations as to how you insist that derivatives is not causing/creating part of the entire problem which we see in the market.

The rest of us, with a brain, have made our own connections between the dots. You, as usual, know only how to post spam. Either post something of substance to back up your claims to brilliance, to continue to be known only as a judas or spammer, take your pick. I think you're both.

Are we all gonna die?

YOUR OWN explanations as to how you insist that derivatives is not causing/creating part of the entire problem which we see in the market.

As soon as you show me where I insisted that......

The rest of us, with a brain,

Making stuff up again.

[nicmarlo]

As soon as you.......

foflmao! Typical....

so..........which .gov do you work for?

[Toddsterpatriot]

foflmao! Typical....

It is typical. You make a false claim.....I ask you for proof....you change the subject or run away.

[nicmarlo]

Post something of substance, toad.

[Toddsterpatriot]

Back up your claim first.

Post something of substance, Toad. You claim to be the brilliant one on every thread, mocking those who have connected the dots in ways with which you disagree.

Here’s you chance. Prove how “smart” you are.

[Toddsterpatriot]

You claim to be the brilliant one on every thread,

I do? Where?

[nicmarlo]

I ask you for proof....you change the subject or run away.

That's another one of your tactics, toad. Which number is that on your .gov's playbook?

[nicmarlo]

You are speechless about derivatives now? How so? You’ve got the floor.........SPIN AWAY, toad.

[Toddsterpatriot]

That's another one of your tactics,

Yes, asking for proof is one of my tactics. Running away is one of yours.

Post something of substance, toad.

Jeepers. Not even off the first page of replies, and you've already forgotten who posted the thread. That's gotta be some sort of a record.

[nicmarlo]

This is for the Spin Away Tag Team

Let's see what you got to sell about derivatives........

Hey, "[w]hen are you going to make a thread about derivatives, which is NOT what this [other] thread is about?"
