Guest alex Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Herr Bear, re fund jockeys: the top third will retire to the Hamptons, the bottom third will return to their jobs as used car salesmen and the truly mediocre will be promoted to managing directors and be hawking goldstock IPOs on Crapvision. Same old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAREister Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Well, when you've got people talking, sarcASStically about reading novels by the light of burning mansions on Lily Pond Lane, as you did a while back in a front page Wall St muck-raking column in a New York newspaper, maybe a mountain cabin in oh, say, Georgia would be a lot more appealing?

BAREister Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 speaking of cats, GTNWRS, you let da KATZ outta da bag! LOL Well, there sure are a LOT of folks fixin' ta git 'long' right about incheearrr. If this bear were to swipe 'em with it's paw next week it would rock a lot of TA right back on it's heels. Prtzl, it's interesting to note that MERLIN is, to some extent, siding w Arch C in predicting a plunge. Arch's is fASSt flux , MERLIN's slow mo'. Both rely in part on ASStro signals.

Nanobody Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Nano, I, too, have considered your "altruistic capitalism" thesis. Problem is, as Chomsky and others would argue, it seems to result in PERPETUATING the dynamic of the Third World subsidizing the consumption excesses of the First World - NOT the other way around. The modern history of most of Africa is a sad example. US is merely in the last desperate throes of imperialism - its consumerist binges and excesses are no different from those of the barf-and-scarf roman middle-classes who used cheap slave labor to subsidize their nice lifestyles (much like our filipino nannies, mexican housemaids, thai boytoys, chinese toymakers, etc.) Gibbons explains in two succinct pages how Rome's downfall was largely, in part, due to its debasement of its coin to pay its soldiers. (At least that's the cliffnotes version). Sound familiar? Obviously, using the third-world as cheap labour is not going to enable an expansion of western industries. People need to have sufficient 'play money' to purchase computers, phones, cars, and so on. I'm not sure that my proposal is all that altruistic - it seems more like common-sense to me - that a business would be willing to fork out in the beginning, to garner the long-term gains. Perhaps, what is needed is for Hypertiger's scenario to become more-widely known (especially, amongst big business leaders). If CEOs became as stool-scared as I get when I think about it, maybe it would jolt them into some innovative action? I dunno. Fear makes people do strange things, and for this reason, I will continue to try to find a workable alternative. The Gibbons explanation wouldn't surprise me at all (although in general, I distrust any historical accounts that weren't typed on a keyboard ). However, one thing that does seem to have occurred repeatedly is that as one era /empire / dynasty drew to a close, the populace didn't have a clue. They continued on in their own little lala-land as if things would continue as they were forever; and never even imagined a different future - until ... it was too obvious to deny... and too late to do anything about. Regards, Nano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTNWORSE Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Hey Guys http://www.thestockmarketmonitor.com/commentary.htm also long as of 2/13. Very, very interesting week shaping up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretzel Logic Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Prtzl, it's interesting to note that MERLIN is, to some extent, siding w Arch C in predicting a plunge. Arch's is fASSt flux ?, MERLIN's slow mo'. Both rely in part on ASStro signals. I've had very little experience with Merlin... but virtually everytime I HAVE looked at one of their predictions, it's been wrong. Maybe I've just looked at the wrong times. A few days up (maximum), then this market falls off a cliff. That's my call, and I'm sticking to it! Unless I'm wrong!

Guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Alex, Went to your link and am stunned - is it for real? Cyber begging now. If for real, the entrenchment of deferring risk to someone else is not only in the financial world, but bled down to the average person - someone else will pick up the bundle.

Guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 There are others out there doing this. Some woman doing this was featured on CNN about a month ago. The publicity helped and they followed up later that she got out of debt doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
