I was really torn last night whether he was just joking. I pondered it for a solid 5 minutes before bed last night. Then I remembered he had a Ron Paul link on the bottom of his sig.

Actually, the markets took a breather on Friday to let the government use Chemtrails to control the minds of Americans for resumption of trading on Monday, which is why the market is up 200.

He's not. I'm not sure if you were around in years past to read his posts both in OT and P&N to witness it - but he assuredly actually is that ignorant.

Edit: Quick proof:

Why did building 7 collapse?

Inspection of the damage to tower 7 from tower 2 would have revealed explosive residue too clearly, so that evidence needed to be destroyed.

I wish someone would start a distressed debt ETF. I know a lot of hedge funds are starting distressed debt funds right now.

this isn't a cross post ... its a reference to another thread for a specific and very separate purpose.

I don't understand what the big fuss is about P&N. I see it as just another forum. It's become sexy to bash P&N and people buy into it hook, line, and sinker without evaluating the forums themselves.

Last week's Asset Backed Alert showed something like 35 funds, but those are just the ones we hear about. I know Pimco has pledged billions, as well as many other funds are looking into distressed debt. I think it's going to be a feeding frenzy. With all of the RMBS/CMBS/LBO debt out there going for bargain prices, you'll see them get bid up and all of the "marked down" crap on balance sheets will reprice up, resulting in windfall gains to companies.

Gold is another commodity bubble, pushed up by people looking for hedges against risk and inflation. Similar to oil, it's being driven by speculators trying to jump ahead of the curve.

Goldman Sachs said the market for oil contracts is 30x what the real hedging market is, gold is ~15-20x the actual market, I think we discussed that before.

Copper is another bubble, as well as wheat. Although both of those have some fundamental supports. However, Gold is a demand market with no supply support, very asymmetrical in nature and far more prone to speculation.

I think Gold will go back up above 1k, but the first sign of economic recovery will be a great time to short gold down to 500 or less.

We'll see. I'm still not convinced that it will go back up, but I am not a fortune teller.

Personally, the worst of this could be over. With Freddie and Fannie dumping 200bn+ of liquidity into the market, several states getting close to a foreclosure moratorium and discussion of a mark to market moratorium, as well as broker/dealers getting access to the window, the cascade of bullcrap accounting marks may be over.

If so, then it's just a matter of time until the market slowly absorbs the 300-400bn in subprime losses.

The flight to safety may be over, but who knows. I do agree that the 5-10 year outlook on gold is far below 1k.
