You'd know about weak minds...

Btw, what did you think of the video you didn't watch and then posted about?

qft

Double true

Where is that link about The Daily Show watchers being more in tune with current events than watchers of Faux and other mainstream news shows?

Did you watch the video? What are your thoughts?

If not, don't post irrelevancies, which is considered trolling.

Isn't it weird that out of all the known apologists here, not a single one that posted in this thread actually commented on the video that the thread is about?

The point wasn't if they were for or against bailouts, it's that they have no idea what they are talking about.
Maybe you should create a financial predictions thread since you're the resident markets expert.

huh?

He's trying to be smart. Apparently, he thinks that the people whose job is in the financial industry and chose to make bogus predictions over and over is equivalent to you, which may or may not have anything to do with the financial industry.

You guys just don't get it. The 401K money that we invested was part of what is being stolen from us. That $$ is gone . WE didn't withdraw it. So someone else did . They made money. The money they stole from US, Its a fact. With the banks scam failing. The 401K scam will come to light. If any of you guys can borrow on your 401K get the max you can . Than stop putting in. THe math is real . This thing is busting wide open.

You just need to be thinking longer term. When it fell to 12k the market was oversold and severely oversold at 10k. Only a DA wasn't pumping money into stocks then. Then at 9k, 8k, and 7k stocks were nearly free. Now with them well lower and continuing to plummet, it truly is a buyer's market! Man, you can't go wrong. I'd buy in heavy today and if the market falls to 6k or lower, then you can simply buy more!

Are the people that are bashing Kramer & Santelli the same people that have been defending Chris Dudd and Barney Frank?

Real shocking Stewart going after anyone who says something bad about Obama. The whole situation is funny demonizing a liberal in Cramer who is just telling the truth about comrade Obama the biggest wealth destroying president in history.

In fact, he's SO good at destroying wealth that he was doing it long before he was in office. Recessions don't just pop up in a month or two, they take time to build up and play through.

No but Obama is making things worse with his down playing the economy for political gain. Even Billl Clinton has said Obama needs to tone down the doom an gloom. That and Obama wants the economy to tank so he can implement his anti-business agenda. How else do you think wall street was going to react to a carbon tax and raising capitol gains tax on those evil rich people. Every time comrade Obama opens his mouth that sector of the stock market tanks.

When huge Obama supporters like Cramer change their minds there must be a damn good reason. People have huge egos and don't change their minds often.

Why would CNBC have this on their front page? It's been there for several hours now. "large options trader" they call it, the guy spent like $14k, which is meaningless, why is this on the front page? Strange. What's next, Uncle Mikey made $400 selling Citi today or something?

10,000 calls at $1.4 is more than $14k. More like $1.4 million. It's equivalent to controlling one million shares of COF.

How was the money "stolen"? You still own shares, do you not? That those shares go up or down in the market is transient. in the long-run, the money isn't "stolen" as the shares, which are partial ownership in a company, represent future wealth and payback in that company.

Thus, nothing was stolen, just expectations were changed.

What real math? Show me your math.
