based on what you actually stated: Do you think we are headed for a depression?

It's premature for anyone to do anything more than speculate on whether there will be a depression, much less flatly state that we are headed for one. And as you well know, statistics don't show that we are "technically" even in a recession (I would think that a recession would be a precursor to a depression). Notwithstanding the technicalities, however, I believe it is obvious that we are experiencing a recession. And as I stated earlier, recessions are experienced anecdotally during the fact; statistics prove what is felt long afterwards.

What you laugh at, however, is the clear parallels in the here and now and the economic policies/practices, events, and statements made prior to the Depression. Ignoring these historic warnings, imho, is nothing less than stupid.

Try the Spam Thermidor. There’s not much Spam in that.

You want to talk history? I can. If you want to use historic indicators then you should be buying like crazy. The historic buy signals outnumber the historic sells 10 to 1.

Take heart. Misrepresenting the positions of others, obfuscating and shilling are what Baghdad Todd and Groanup do around here. According to them, there was no problem, is no problem, will be no problem and the Fed does not bail anyone out at the expense of the general public.

The rest is details.

Funny how no one notices that grease spot in the road where this little corner bank called BSC used to be? You wake up one morning and find that the Fed just disappeared them.

Yeah, the conspiracy nut race fans are straining their necks even more because they know there's a car wreck coming. They can't wait.

Of course you didn't notice that the INDU was up 420 today AFTER a disappointing Fed announcement. Wonder why that stupid old market was rallying despite Andy Jackson's hare brained conspiracy ideas? Don't those traders and investors know any better? Volume was 7 to 1. Damn, don't they know they aren't supposed to be buying because it ruins Andy's plans for a crash celebration?

It must really irk you the the MSCI is up 1.9% as I type this not to mention the Nikkei up 3% and Australia up 3.1% this. I know how disappointed you are that people aren't jumping out of windows but, hey, those are the breaks Andrew.

I only hope, for your sake, that the worldwide markets crash before morning so You'll wake up in a good mood.
