OK, does anyone actually believe anybody from the government anymore? I'm sorry, but the FDIC can suck it.
I just read that any negative comments whatsoever related to the stock market are now banned, and it is likely that we will be sent to a Thai prison for this entire thread. Additionally, Bernanke and Paulson have just announced that an additional $100 billion will be used to rescue people who have had their feeling hurts in any way, shape or form; got their milk money stolen in school when their were a kid; and ever put a dollar bill into a Coke machine only to have it malfunction and got nothing. I blew a couple hundy on a stripper the other night. If I submit my receipt to my local Fed branch, can I get bailed out, too? What a bunch of ass clowns.
That's not true. There are plenty of rules. Such as: no financial institution, major investment fund, or anybody on the planet will ever be required to take a loss on a long position. Or another personal fave: There shall be no disclosure of corporate holdings. Ever. Even if they're worthless. Ever, ever, ever. Goddammit, I said never! And the coup de grace: From now on, I will not be known as Chairman Bernanke. Refer to me as "God" or "His Royal Highness, the Wondrous and Intensely-Sexy-Even-With-His-Beard-and-Bald-Chrome-Sir-Ben". #2 - Apparently we do need rules, because it seems that most of us are so misguided as to believe that, you know, we live in a free market or something.
What the hell does it even matter anymore? With this freaking ridiculous systemic bailout, these guys can continue acting like fucking pinheads because they now know that Uncle Sam will be there to pay their dinner checks at the end of the night. What a fucking crock.
OK, seriously, who's the ding dong who proffered the response that stocks, in fact, will not always go up. For the love of God, can't we at least have sarcasm anymore? I mean, at least until that's banned as well. P.S. I am now drinking heavily. Someone please wake me up when it's 2012.
Christ, I'm sick of politicians. To quote some movie I once saw, "We are so fucked." I'm thinking of going native and moving to the Amazon. What? They burned down the Amazon! Oh, fuck.
The media is pretty much clueless about what's going on in the financial markets - and has been clueless for a while, so I wouldn't expect it to be any different right now. By the way, great coverage this weekend. Dealbreaker has been, far and away, the best place for news on this unfolding debacle.
C'mon, Billy, just come out and say it: you want Uncle Sam to bail out your up-to-it's-ass-in-trouble portfolio.
Is it too late to get Jimbo convicted for a crime he didn't commit so he can get sodomized in prison?
Ah, Helicopter Ben strikes again. Really, I am getting tired of this asshole. Apparently, the kitchen sink knows no bounds. Maybe we should start using Monopoly money. Or maybe we should all just move to Fantasy Land. What's going to happen when the floor caves in? And it will. What then, Ben? What a bunch of dickheads.
Cramer is only saying this because, quite frankly, he is a fucking idiot. Can't we just send someone down the CNBC studios to kick the everloving shit out of him?
I think all of these clowns are a bunch of cake eaters. Yeah, Jamie, it's all about the short sellers. It has nothing to do with you geniuses completely fucking up your balance sheets by acting like a bunch of 15 year-olds in Dad's liquor cabinet. Dennis Kneale is a clown. How CNBC keeps trotting out guys who, day after day, are utterly wrong is beyond me. Until I remember it's CNBC. Hey, Erin Burnett's nice to look at but girlfriend don't know diddley about the markets. Charlie Gasparino actually called that one right, but he's still a clown. He's a total suck-ass out for publicity. Lest we forget how he broke the story several months back about Ambac getting a bunch of financing, which catapulted the stock. Turned out to be totally bogus. CNBC is a market rumor mill. Nothing more. Anyone who takes those guys seriously and loses money deserves it.
The stupidity of our government never ceases to amaze me. To quote P.J. O'Rourke: "Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys."
