They don’t even bother with ‘paper’ anymore, it’s just 1’s and 0’s magically appearing on a computer screen........................

Shouldn’t that be ‘John Gevalt’?!?!...................;^)

[Red Badger]

Only if you have lots of ammo...................

Just listened to an interview with a gut named Bill Holter. Anyone ever heard of him? Please tell me he is crazy and has a multi decade track record of predicting doom and gloom and profiting off of it. (:

What he said is is little gulp inducing.

I am going to the basement now and checking the rice, beans and spam. /:

China? How about the lies are now beyond fantasy. The corporations have been gutted by insider salaries, bonuses, insider stock buybacks on credit, etc. Just by looking a gross sales or revenue tells the real story.

They ran out of ammo it looks like. Sell orders were hugh and series.

Gold bug.

I did not need to look past the first page on Google — anytime you see somebody hawking gold and silver, well those folks make their money by inducing panic buying of precious metals. I don’t know about his track record, but profiting off of doom and gloom? Yep — anyone trying to sell you gold and silver is doing that.

Who think it appears healthy?

Democrats. They also think the USA economy is in great shape and that we're at full employment.

Interesting that he moved BACK from Costa Rica in 2011.

So a stock market broker could jump off a tall building and have their losses recouped by the time they hit ground. Lol.

“just 1’s and 0’s magically appearing on a computer screen”

Not exactly magic: someone still has to hit the one and zero keys on the Fed keyboards. (I have it on good authority that those keys have to be replaced on a daily basis by Fed IT experts.)

People don’t scare as easy in Central America as they do here.

[riri]

Well, any of them have been through this all or at least very close to it.

I found it perplexing that someone so sure of imminent societal breakdown came back to the epicenter.
