You two (You two being damnotagain and frankq)!  Cut it out with the digs at one another.  Disagree civilly, or ignore one another.  Anything else is kindergarten material.

If "you two" don't cut it out, your posts will be disappearing.  Nobody said you couldn't disagree.  Please do.  Just do so civilly.  That means "without insult".

Busy day again today, just wanted to stop in here at coffee time and ask; Whatever happened to........ The recovery in the US is all just smoke and mirrors? Without the economic recovery from the balance of Fed intervention and consumer spending, this question wouldn't even be coming up right now. The Federal Debt Is ... Shrinking?

Awwww ........MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM..................

Alright.....I'll stop asking him to provide any details on his ridiculous claims.

My suggestion would be to spend some time thinking how to reasonably ask for details in a non-personal, legitimate, non-emotional manner. I'm just as guilty of anyone for asking pointed questions more for the purpose of stirring the pot, especially when I'm on the prowl for a good fight. One of many things I'm trying to correct as we all should.

Well looks like the markets are trying for a turn around from the open.  Close to even now, a good thing.

(after all this is the "market talk" board) 

Right just like the puppy's and rainbow thread

Fair enough.

Well we have now turned positive.  Nothing wrong with rainbows and puppy's as a break from ALL the Market Talk on this board.

Well...so much for the correction I was looking for........for now anyway.

Show me anywhere, damnotagain, where I singled you out.  I didn't.  I told both of you to cut it out.  Now, do so.

Yep.  It's the Market Talk board, but this is a relaxed, playful thread on the Market Talk board.  There are others for more serious discussion.

I'm just wondering ... after all our efforts we still ALL SEEM TO PREFER BEING SNARKY? Jesus, I get this all day long from my teenage boy, I don't expect to see it day after day from us supposed ADULTS!!!

There, I feel better now.

By the way, back on topic what ever happened to ... ah ... um ..... oh, hyperinflation .... um .... replacement of the USD as the world's reserve

currency (seems bit coins is out for that coveted designation) .... ah ... the siege of "The Casino"?

[mmhmm]

I think snarkiness becomes a habit after awhile, sunrnr.  Like any habit, it's not easy to break.  It'll take practice and there are bound to be some slips along the way.  The important thing, as I see it, is to make the effort honestly and fairly.

ALL OF US, myself included, need to just not feel like we have to respond to a comment that we do not agree with.  If you can not discuss someones comment nicely than just pass it by and let it fade.  We all know it will drop down and no longer be seen within a day or two.

We can make this a board with legitimate discussion and opinions again.  WE DO NOT ALL HAVE TO AGREE.

[sunrnr]

Whatever happened to ..... common sense? How does that saying go "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results" or something like that?

Seems the Fed is insisting quantitative easing will eventually pull out of the huge hole we're in economically. QE infinity will continue with the fed buying agency mortgage backed securities at a rate of $45 M a month and longer-term Treasury securities at a rate of $40M a month.

From the Federal Open Market Committee's May 1 press release ...

Consistent with its statutory mandate, the Committee seeks to foster maximum employment and price stability. The Committee expects that, with appropriate policy accommodation, economic growth will proceed at a moderate pace and the unemployment rate will gradually decline toward levels the Committee judges consistent with its dual mandate. The Committee continues to see downside risks to the economic outlook. The Committee also anticipates that inflation over the medium term likely will run at or below its 2 percent objective.

Taken together, these actions should maintain downward pressure on longer-term interest rates, support mortgage markets, and help to make broader financial conditions more accommodative.

I personally believe we're still in a period of deflation, not inflation. Would not some inflation actually help the situation?

George Ure sums it up this way.

Do you have any clue what this means?

Let me walk you through it. It means the Fed is going to make-up $1-trillion a year. With an economy sucking along at under $16-trillion in GDP we can see that 6% is being made up.

At some point this all ends badly...my bet is (if there's no global coastal event this month) that we will sell in May and go away, have a summer rally so the returning fat cats can make a bundle selling short when the big market crash comes in the fall.

frankq,
Thank-you for asking!!! Very sore and tired,,,Quad Bipass ....Not ready to feed the deer,,my family have banned me from the Ranch.. Gave a photo of the boar droppings!!!! well it would kill my chest to fire the 45-70 500 at the Boar..too add injury to insult they bought me 4 boxes of tofu. I bet Moon &mmhmm knows how to cook the stuff. Bruce

[mmhmm]

*chuckle*  Tofu's easy.  It just picks up the flavor of whatever you decide to cook it with.  You can do almost anything with the stuff.

Glad you're out of the hospital and home to recover, Bruce.  It won't be all that long before you're feeling back to your ornery self.

It is.  Godliness slaps it down about twice an hour.  It used to be twice a minute, but snarkiness is beginning to get a bit slow to get up.
