It had better, or your "100 days to financial collapse" thread won't come true! Only 28 days left!

You're looking at the collaspe

You call this collaspe? Nasdaq dropped from 4.6k to 1.2k between 2000 and 2002, that's like 75% drop and the world didn't end and we didn't go into a depression. We went to a mild recession which people still debate on the technicality.

Give me a break with the doom and gloom will you? Yes stock market suck, yes we got problem with banks and their over extended loans and leverages. But it doesn't mean the rest of the economy is in the gutter like banking sector. Employment is still decent, and if not for all the fvcking sky is falling people running around, average joe and jane would still go out and shop and continue to make the economy outside of banking decent.

The economy is all about confidence, and again for the million times, stock market is not the economy. It is dumb to use stock market up and down as the main indicator of how the entire economy is doing. And if we have enough stupid people doing that, and destroy the confidence of average joe and jane, a depression is gonna be a self fulfilling prophecy.

The stock market may not be the "economy" but when Mom and Pop Joe "close to retire" see that the retirement funds lost 2 trillion dollars over the last few weeks, things can seem pretty bleak, whether based in reality or not.

I guess peter got that wrong, but he got right when people laughed at him about the housing boom being a facade and it preceeding a major catastrophe for the economy.

I know of at least 3 well-known Ivy League economists in 2006 and 2007 saying the housing bubble would be big and catastrophic (Penn economist Paul Krugman, as one example). And those economists were actually specific about why the housing market would burst. The reasons Schiff gave were nonsense; said gold would be up around $2000, said the printing of money alone would cause hyperinflation and said last year that the dollar would be down 50% by 2008, said bond rates will start to skyrocket like two years ago (30 year yields are at ~4%, still nowhere near early 1980's levels of 14%). He has basically been wrong about everything, actually. The only thing he has been "right" about is that something "bad" would happen, which over 2/3rds of economists were saying before this summer anyway.

Something tells me you never read his book. Maybe that's why you have such asinine assumptions about him.

You aren't fooling anyone kiddo, you're out of your league in this discussion, which is why you won't argue the facts I just referenced.

As I predicted, you are incapable of arguing the facts I just referenced, and you couldn't argue otherwise if your life depended on it. Again, Schiff was quoted as saying these things, and he was wrong. If you have something of substance to contribute, I suggest you do so. But we all know you don't.

Where do I get this stuff?
Study history.
Dang you have a high post count.:D

what in the federal reserve's history suggests that its goal is to eliminate national currencies?

BUY. The market will recover and theres zero evidence it wont. Most of us arent going to touch our savings (for the FEW that have it) for a long time so where's the loss? Geesh.

Do I think everything is peachy? For some no for some yes. But a market drop isnt the end of the USA for christ's sake.

lol if that were the case prices would never fall and there would be no low to buy. it's the fact that fear causes investors to sell low and lower that there are opportunities to buy low.

with that said I think NASDAQ will go to 1300. At that point i would consider buying.

You really are incredible, you're saying the exact same thing you were saying when it was 12k and then 11k. Those who bought then are now down quite a bit. Just because it's down doesn't mean it's undervalued; maybe it was overvalued to begin with.

You are making assumptions based on limited youtube material that that is his entire view. I'm starting to wonder if its really ignorance or that you're actually that stupid. Again, go read the book to have a better understanding of Schiffs views. You won't, but I'm sure you'll come back with another asinine something or other to deflect like you have done all this time. Sad really :laugh:

Nope, seen him on the tube many times (CNBC, Fox Business, CNN, etc.). If I am missing something then why can't you point it out? I can take a wild guess why you won't (er, can't).

rofl, man you are incredibly sad. You still cannot contribute any substance to this argument. You are easily predictable, like playing instrument. Will you wimp out for a 5th time and not contribute the knowledge you learned from his book with us?

Again, you will assume you know all the positions of Schiff based on youtube videos. When will you read his book? You won't as predicted. Yet again you will come back with more asinine remarks deflecting from the fact you know shit about Schiff and his views. Here it comes...3...2...1....

I have read the book and see it very clearly what you have misrepresented as truth. I am not going to teach you whats in the book, you will have to read it yourself. The only reason I said anything is for others not to be mislead by your assumptions.

Secondly, is there some type of scorecard being kept I don't know about? Some kind of ego scoreboard? :laugh:

Lastly, don't rely on youtube video's to be your sole source of information. Whats odd about that is, that is exactly what you and another member used to whine about back in the day and now you are doing the same.

Of course I did. The concept is the same...buy on the DOWN swing unless youre a day trader. WTF is so hard to understand?

And what part of the following sentence do you fail to understand: you only lost money if you sold lower than you bought. WTF do YOU think you should do...SELL LOW? :confused:

It aint rocket science.

No actually, when we bash YouTube it's because you cite laymans like yourself who actually created the content of the YouTube videos in question, while the YouTube videos I cite are directly from news broadcasts or business shows. There's a difference that obviously you can't quite comprehend, much like you can't quite comprehend that you don't have any credibility in this discussion if you can't cite a single, solitary example of what you learned in Schiff's book and how I've misrepresented his positions.

You're looking at the collaspe

You call this collaspe? Nasdaq dropped from 4.6k to 1.2k between 2000 and 2002, that's like 75% drop and the world didn't end and we didn't go into a depression. We went to a mild recession which people still debate on the technicality.

It is dumb to use stock market up and down as the main indicator of how the entire economy is doing. And if we have enough stupid people doing that, and destroy the confidence of average joe and jane, a depression is gonna be a self fulfilling prophecy.

You clearly have zero understanding of economics & money.
Firstly let me say that the nasdaq drop can't in any way, shape or form be compared with what is now happening with the Dow S&P and the rest of the world markets.
Secondly the market and the bailout are directly related.
Go back and read my original thread. Remember that was before this specific bailout. Had this bailout package not been called into existence I'd have called the Dow to 6000.
Because the bailout package was created the pain is deflected from the market to the currency.
That is, the currency takes the beating from here on out as the market is not permitted to fail due to government intervention.

Are you getting this yet?
