Let's not forget inflation. I'd guess that if we were to apply a factor relative to gas/diesel or food or health care we'd not even be close to a new high. BTW what's up with the 2700 "armored vehicles" and the 1.2 billion rounds of ammo the government is procuring. Things are not going to end well. Glad I'm 68! Back to the shadows.

So.....I'm guessing that Michigan Sentiment will be at least 105.66. Screw that fiscal cliff BS!

Closing banks ahead of a 3rd debate and two weeks out from an election doesn't seem like a particularly well thought out move.

I really hope I'm wrong on this.

I actually did several Robbins firewalks in Denver in the late 70's. Quite a liberating experience at the time. No regrets, no burns.

It would seem that this prediction is officially over with today's close @ 1351.95. I'm amazed a bunch of regulars didn't pile on this one in the last few days. Congrats to Sardonic!! We good Smile

Those morons going berserk for f No one 17 and under admitted g over priced shoes should be sterilized and deported. Imagine how they're going to behave when we have the inevitable disruption in food supplies or an energy crisis.It won't be pretty for many innocent bystanders. Maybe there's an upside to all these local police departments gearing up for open warfare on citizens with their military grade toys.

Way off topic. Today is my 67th birthday (or my 30th for the 37th time). Have been reflecting on how much this country ain't the same one as I was born into. I guess we're all in that particular boat. Will be going out to dinner (the restaurant index will no doubt show a seismic shift). Will probably spend a great deal more than I made in an entire month as a newly minted draftee in the summer of '65. As my wife and I are apt to say these days, "it's a good time to be old." That is all.....back to the regularly scheduled commenting.

RE: the Oakland tear gassing. I can't help but think the "serve and protect" crowd are nothing more than goons and thugs.Like I said a few weeks back... we're flirting with a Kent State moment coming to a city near all of us.

Anyone think this withdrawal of troops from Iraq by year's end might have anything to do with concerns about civil unrest here in the Homeland?

Footnote: If the officers and board of directors of a corporation pursued a course of action based on lies and half truths that ultimately resulted in 4400 deaths, thousands of injuries and the squandering of nearly a trillion dollars of stockholders' equity, do you think there might be a few lawsuits filed concerning wrongful death, breach of fiduciary duty, etc, etc, etc. I'd imagine they'd be sued into the next century.

Resuming regular broadcast.....Today the FDIC closed ______ banks in an unexpected action to save somebody's ass.

NGBROI wrote on Fri, 10/14/2011 - 7:20 am

Just goes to show "you can't fool all of the people all of the time." I suppose now the FDIC will lay off of the banks today to revive our sagging spirits and boost sentiment.

My choice of impact would be the private residences of any members of Congress that are home at the time. Throw in the Supreme Cout as well for good measure.

NGBROI wrote on Thu, 9/22/2011 - 12:23 pm

The current New Hi/New Low numbers today are telling. At the moment 85/1048. I don't think I've ever seen over a thousand new lows on any given day. That's 25% of all the NYSE listed stocks. Quite a few must have been hovering near their yearly low prior to today's bloodletting. But America's best days are just ahead according to all our aspiring would be presidents. Can they really be that fucking stupid or dishonest? OK! Yes they are.

Does anyone here smell a rat? Five days running the futures have been in the red, sometimes drastically, prior to the open and voila, at the open there is a surge into the green, all in the face of not so good economic news. My Head Just Exploded

Closing banks is not consistent with job creation. Furthermore, closing banks on a holiday weekend would be downright UNAMERICAN!!

This must mean recovery is imminent, DOW 15K by year's end and no need for Obama's jobs fairytale to Congress next week. The latter alone should be good for an up day of 500+

This is a milder version of my favorite which is "I wouldn't piss in his(her) face if his(her) eyes were on fire."

That would definitely apply to lots of D.C. folks as well as the Wall Street crowd.
