So give me the religious interpretation . . . then we can try to correlate it to your economic Talibanism. I'm honestly not that familiar as to why Judas sold out for thirty pieces of silver. Did he think he was getting a good deal at the time, or not?

[am452]

I guess I'm Judas and I guess I'm selling somebody out.

..or your country.

Why do you refuse to post what you do for a living?

[nicmarlo]

As you know, there’s a difference between correcting misstatements and turning an entire thread into a discussion on it.

That is something you do....for the point of siderailing the very thread of discussion.

When are you going to make a thread about derivatives?

[Toddsterpatriot]

My desire for smaller government is selling out my country?

What’s more interesting about that chart of holders is who is holding the bag at BSC. Looks like a pretty incestuous club, Morgan Stanley, Legg Mason, etc all holding BSC.

I guess I'm Judas and I guess I'm selling somebody out.

But that's where I get confused. Are you selling our dear friend nic for money, or not? Did Judas think he was properly compensated and then later have second thoughts? Like I said, I'm not up on the theology.

I responded to one post. It's your whining and ignorance that's derailing the thread.

When are you going to make a thread about derivatives?

When are you?

What do you do for a living? You do not have to name the company ....or group.

Why do you refuse to post what you do for a living?

My guess is that he knows you'd use it to avoid responding to his points and attack him personally? Duh.

[nicmarlo]

I’ve never met someone who didn’t know exactly what a Judas was, or the 30 pieces of silver. I know few Americans, who claim to be educated, who do not know who Benedict Arnold is.

In fact, I have never met anyone who claimed they didn’t know and understand what being called a Judas or Benedict Arnold means.

Except the two of you, who claim to be so brilliant.

fofl!

You're not surprised that investment firms are holding stock, are you?

[1rudeboy]

Oh shut up. I'm asking you to develop your analogy. And you cannot. Big surprise.

[nicmarlo]

Yet another tactic of yours, Toad.

Answer a question with a question.

Which one is that in your handlers’ playbook?

[palmer]

No, they have to hold stock. I’m a bit surprised they are holding financials after this past summer.

[am452]

My guess is that he knows you'd use it to avoid responding to his points and attack him personally?

There is a reason why he will not post what he does for a living. Guess the 30 pieces of silver relating to him is a correct assumption.

[Toddsterpatriot]

It’s in the “How to deal with a boorish idiot” section.

[1rudeboy]

Riiiight.

[Toddsterpatriot]

So what career would make your assumption correct?

[nicmarlo]

So.....which .gov is your handler, Toad?

[1rudeboy]

Do you remember back when these characters thought you and I are the same person? How long ago was that?
