What Ever Happened To.........

[usaone]

This healthcare thing you guys keep harping on is way overblown. Up until this year our healthcare costs have averaged an 11% increase every year since 1999. That's as far as our records go back. This year they went down about 1%. Had nothing to do with the new healthcare bill, we made some adjustments in coverage, added a few more employees.

What is the PIZZA HOUSING MARKET? And about answering questions Burger answer your email please.

Sorry, didn't think you were serious.  The article I'm referring to is this one... Do You Want Pepperoni on that Housing Recovery? 

It goes on to talk about a conspiracy, just more random things thrown out there with no actual backup to support it.  Same old same old,

You sunshine pumpers are fun to watch. As the Dow goes up , fine by me, it's on international earning and corporate investments in emerging markets. Add on additional layoffs and job cuts  profits up.                 Let's not even address the Feds money printing. 

 Your right about the amount of physical gold reported on hand. My bad.

As far as double dip goes that's my call , I am sticking to it. The rising cost of health care along with the higher taxes on "The Job Producers " , small buisness , have yet to hit. Real unemployment is at 14 %. Let's wait and see how that credit rating pans out. 

 It's is bad that you misquoted the amount of gold.  You were basing your "facts" off of this lie.  Meaning that the CB of the world are mostly buying PAPER that says you own a said amount of gold, valued at x amount of USD!! 

The funny thing is D,  I could care less what the market is at.  That is why I have been so effective at countering all the bs that comes out of here.  My forte is business, the economy, and politics. This is why I know about the things that are happening, even if they haven't shown up in the numbers yet, such as, we are all moving towards servicing our own economies(Globalization, Measured by Investment, Takes a Step Backward, Mexico reverses foreign investment flows, India will eventually need no aid)

Being off and being wrong is two different things.

"It is really a tug of war between ETF selling and physical buying right now," says Yuichi Ikemizu, head of commodity trading, Japan, at Standard Bank. "We have seen quite good physical demand from China and Southeast Asia, but the ETF selling has put a lid on gold prices."

Unemployment claims came in at 340,000 for this week. Lowest in nearly 5 years. Looking for evidence of a double dip but I'm not finding any.

March 5,2013 - Troops deployed ahead of economic collapse & gun confiscation

Could you show us where this economic collapse and gun confiscation is happenning? Here in the U.S. gun purchases are at all time highs and gun makers are experienceing a 45% increase in profits. Info Wars? Really? What country in this happenning in? Thanks.

[usaone]

Almost a quartermillion jobs added in Feb. Government continues to lay people off. Is everything great NO. But we are slowly improving.

[decoy409]

Still calling that nonsense hey.

Say,that'sa as bad as calling BofA a profit maker. Then again depends on which side of the fence you are on. Without the taxpayer propping the show,you would have squat. Which is what you have all the same in debt credits.

Don't forget the rest of the math as to that hacked up employment. And 225,000 was the number. Guess we don't need that amount any longer hey. Better to puff and stuff a new number.

[texasredneck]

Household survay added 170,000 of those new jobs. The household survay has been the most manipulated in the past.

Size of work force continues to decline even as the population increases.

[usaone]

Workforce has been fairly stable at around 62% for awhile now. With the babyboomers retiring that number will be around 60% going forward as it was before the babyboomers expanded the workforce. I'll take 2013 over 2007 and 2008 anyday. The foundation of our economy continues to strengthen. Agriculture and energy are driving the recovery.

Here ... try this, it will help calm you down. Alternate holding one nostril closed while breathing slowly and deeply in through the other.



Namaste

[usaone]

Sorry Tex, but it is happening. We are gearing up to send all the grain we can grow to China and elsewhere. Same with Oil and Nat gas.

We are at the beginning of the boom.

What nonsense is that? Gold $3000.00? Oh, you were talking about employment. Sorry.... usaone, I guess we'll have to start tuning into infowars from now on. Everyone says that Alex Jones is the new Walter Cronkite...

Sorry to disappoint you tex, but as unhappy as it makes you guys, the economy, according to just about every resource on the subject, is improving. In fact, Texas has one of the fastest growing state economies in the nation. The world doesn't revolve around the price of gold and silver..

[frankq]

As far as that short term projection why POOF! just like Magic! Why indeed 'sickly' the table has and continues to change. Transforming the works into 6 to a 2 bedroom,and all pay the rent,

meanwhile,

Why with those stocks justa soaring the past few days and then the hammer hey. It's kinda like looking at a reflection that takes a few for the image to catch up to the sight,

Can you, for once in your life, just speak English? Zerohedge is not the ultimate source of information Decoy. You've got to expand your horizons buddy...

[frankq]

No, we did not abandon our look or call.


But the way the debt credits are being clicked about and the sunrise sunshine b.s. headlines as usual flop about,one might think that is not looking that a miracle happened and the dead patient was brought back to life.



Gold & Silver Going Higher! WAY Higher!

Again, English please. How high and by when......

By the way, market at 14,400....

[usaone]

Gold hit $1918 in August 2011. The Dow was around 11k at that time. 

Now Gold is $1570 and going nowhere fast. The Dow is at 14.4k and still climbing.

Not hard to figure out were you should have put your money to work over the last two years.

You were more that off I can tell you that.  Demand is strong in China and India for sure, but more for jewellery, gifts, and statis.  Some of it is because of fear of currency, Indian and Chinese people being afraid that their own currencies are going to fail.  China is buying more ESM and Japanese bonds than anything and they are using their USD to do it.  Also they are using USDs to buy their gold from the USA(and Canada) the two of the largest gold producers in the world!

The other thing you said was that all the earnings were international and the only growth was coming from international markets.  Which is also a pack of lies, the US/Canadian economy is consumer driven and people eat and use the bathroom everyday.  We buy clothes, personal care products and cars.  Companies like Walgreens and Kroger's that only operate in the US have been doing well over the last few years, in fact, just recently Kroger’s profit beats Wall Street expectations.

Don't be ridiculous aham. The government bought all of those 15 million cars and now the're buying all those houses to drive up the prices. It's a well known fact that the government is paying all the homebuilders to build houses too. Get off of the printed news such as Wall Street Journal, Barrons, Crains and numerous channels of cable and satelite broadcast news. If it isn't from InfoWars, Mother Jones or any of the specialty metals sites, it's bullshit....

[damnotagain]

"So what does it say about the Dow that it can hit this dizzying new height -- impressive by any measure in any era, post-crash or otherwise -- at a time when the overall global economic outlook is so dismal, and the domestic recovery is barely felt by the citizens who sacrificed their capital to save the world from calamity? It says that we should be gravely concerned. It says that we have a two-tiered economy, one where profits flow and another where risks lurk. It says that a lot of people are being left behind. And if October 2007 is any guide, it says that this display of prosperity may simply be an illusion."

The distribution of the stock market's largesse has been perhaps the most un-egalitarian aspect of American economics for years. A full 50 percent of all capital gains go not to the richest 1 percent of Americans, but to the richest 0.1 percent, according to The Washington Post.

"The abandonment of the gold standard made it possible for the welfare statists to use the banking system as a means to an unlimited expansion of credit... In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value..." (Alan Greenspan, former Chairman of the Federal Reserve)

Please, damnot, show me where anyone has labeled you as un-American.  There are those who disagree with you.  There are those with whom you disagree.  I haven't seen anyone accused of being un-American, so you'll need to point that out to me.
