  • hahaha. Bonn did peak liver max, so don’t try anything funny. :-)

  • So even though all activity on the stock market is logged, no formal investigation has occurred that would expose what transactions caused the drop? I thought it was tracked down to one brokerage in Chicago…

  • haha. @realSnoot. she don’t sweat much for a fat chick?

  • well there’s lots to say on these threads but everybody fucked off. bye y’all

  • No viable lawsuits yet….sad sad sad.

  • So evidence is pointing to a huge crash. Anyone have any idea of the timeline now.

    I’m guessing very soon.

  • @ dan valley – Oh, there are def. viable suits if the law is applied. If the oil keeps gushing until August at the rate it has been, and if the max fine per barrel was applied ($4,300 per barrel spilled), BP would owe $10.75 BILLION just for fines under the Clean Water Act.

  • @Futures Markets Not Reflecting Market Moves

    The futures markets have been a horrible indicator of any downward move in yields, they’re choked with commodities fluctuations:

    Normally, you would see treasuries, currencies, gold as the biggest gainers when this kind of market move happens. But that hasn’t been the case for over a week now.

  • @Yup Futures Markets Don’t Get It

    Here are the bond rates from bloomberg. ‘Extreme Futures’ from INO.com doesn’t seem to rack up any treasuries options as gainers:

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/TheRealNews#p/u/43/344elODZbAY Hey guys watch this…Goldman Sachs is into the food bubble too

  • Bank of England collapses July-August. Federal Reserve collapses in December all this year. Merry Summer/Winter Equinox!

  • You have to conclude that the only that would change something is either a 80% unemployement in the UK and the USA or a world war III with nukes exterminating New-York London and Hollywood. NOTHING WILL CHANGE. USA and UK desserve TOTAL bankruptcy.

  • @Pez
    It’s real good news. The only way to get rid of these bastards is effectively a financial extermination of the FED and the Bank of England.

  • Anglo-saxon capitalism must be destroyed. Completely erased from the face of the Earth. It will happen. It will. And it will be a good thing. I don’t know who and what will esterminate the structure. Probably a volcano or a nuke sent by “accident” by someone real tired of New-York and London.
    Have you noticed how GE is going down down down down. GE is KAPUT ! Target price ZERO !

  • @Marc

    Dr. Ravi Batra predicted the end of Wall St by 2010. I don’t think he realized the amount of corruption (government Goldman Sachs) when he made the prediction in 2007.

  • First half of the show was b/w OK and Good
    2nd half was YAWN!!!!!!

  • @ Pez
    Dr Dr. Ravi Batra is a Conn artist
    And Tey definately gonna continue Wall St. fer anotter 2 to 3 years
    With HFT even I came to the same conclusion after a point peeps will not trade anymore
    But Co.s will still require Capital so Stock markets will and hafta survive some how
    because to grow from a 5 mill to a say 100 mill Company no individual would risk his own $$$$$$ he’d rather spread the Risk by offerin a IPO
    tear are very few multi -million Co’s where tee owners own above 50 % Stock
    But wit all tee Fleecin happenin on Wall St tat might change in the near future Cause from me guestimates 400 families robbed 1 trill in the last 2 ears tas a sh!t load of $$$$$$
    Hic ;-)

  • Case study
    Anil Ambani offered an IPO for his petroleum Co
    He needed aruond 3 billion dollars the whole world offered him 6 Bill
    his freakin Brother just built a 2 billion dollar house in Mumbai
    He coulda used his own monies but he wanted to spread ta risk

  • @ y’all – I’m worried that we (the US) might be planning some shitty surprise military operation. Just saw a Democracy Now headline that we’re planning unilateral strikes on Pakistan to put in place “in the event of a successful attack on US soil.” Well, I mentioned that my father-in-law is dying. One of his grandsons is in Iraq. All we know is that he does all of his work in some flipping cargo-type storage container. Don’t know exactly where he’s located, what he’s charged with doing, anything. But he’s always easy to get in touch with. My sister-in-law has been trying to contact him for the past 2 weeks to let him know that he needs to get home to see his grandfather. She’s heard nothing, which is weird. She thinks he might be on a special mission or something.Now that I see this Democracy Now headline, I’m freaking hoping that we’re not cooking up a false flag op somewhere in the US so our guys can go and kill whomever in Pakistan and ratchet up the military offensive there.

  • @ Mep
    yup tas been on ta radar of Keiserville fer ta last few days tey preparin Dry Runs on Pakistan
    But Mep Pakistan doesnt have any real resources
    USA never attacks a country without resources
    I feel its just a pretext for an Invasion of Iran
    Watch out fer a false Flag ops
    Hic ;-)

  • @ bonn – Hic! right back at ya. I don’t know what’s going on. If it’s not a resource thing, it would make sense that it could be just a terrorism/massacre the dissidents who oppose US involvement in the area and US drone strikes thing. Just seems really weird that my nephew is no longer reachable, where usually, he’d e-mail right back, set up a webcam chat, text message, something.

  • Get ready to be a farmer!

  • @ dan – I AM a farmer! Just don’t ask about the lettuce, b/c the heat already ruined my crops. How’s the dirt thing going?

  • 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/119/11 9/119/11 9/119/11 9/119/11 9/11

  • @Mep…the dirt is really comming along nicely…what do you farm?

  • Yay for the dirt! I’ve got tomatoes (3 kinds), straight-eight cucumbers, bush cucumbers, radishes (already harvested some), sugar snap peas, garden beans, red onions, beets, chives, sage, basil, oregano, parsley, strawberries, concord grapes, blueberries, green bunching onions, yellow squash, and lettuce (all but the romaine dying back already.) Don’t have too much property, and would have more room if I planted in the perimeter of the mulched area where the dogs poop, but I’ve found plenty of nooks, crannies, beds, and containers to plant in.

  • I remember those victory garden days and picking wild blackberries…and the canning / freezing…so much knowlege lost. Most of the farms where I grew up have stopped farming and theres just gas wells all over the place.

  • ok back too work for me.

  • Yep, I figure that if I’m angry about GE food, energy wars, and concerned about climate change, the least I can do is grow some of my own food. Funny thing about it is that it’s sooooooo incredibly satisfying that it’s addicting. I’m not done findng new things to plant and new places to plant them in yet. It’s a total bummer that generations have lost the knowledge you speak of. My mom grew up poor on a farm, and she never even passed on anything related to gardening or canning to us. I wish she had. Now, I’m starting things from seed and giving her all of her plants to start her garden with! everyone I know is growing something . . . even the most wealthy people we know–we planted some of my stuff for them in their garden this past weekend.

    Oh, and speaking of gas/gas wells, <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/#37458730"here is Rachel Maddow’s segment on BP/the Gulf spill from last night. Good info. in there on potential fines and BP’s potential bankruptcy.

  • oops, link here. see what happens when you drink and try to link?

    Total Hic.

  • Man RT too what a bunch of Twerps on the 9/11 nonsense

    I am willin to donate 100 dollars to a fund for the familys and I aint even a US citizen but I want to see the survailence Vids
    Proove to me that it was actually an airline

  • @ bonn- this doesn’t bode well for 9/11 and the “war on terrorism,” either.

  • @Stacy…

    I really enjoyed your analysis about BP’s self regulation vs. Wall Streets self regulation. And that dispersant thing…really keen observation.

    It’s a wonder what a UCLA education can do. =)

  • I regret postin tis

  • @Jon

    Crawford Perspective a newletter writer says he sees dramatic action by 30/6/2010. That’s in less than one month. Very realistic. What’s funny is that he uses astrology to predict stock and market movements. And he managed to have the best performance amongst newletter writers.

    That’s a lame defense for Derivatives…

    So their solution THIS year is to actually STORE SOME FUEL for the winter…

    DUH!!!!
    You don’t need derivatives for that sort of game…
