BTW: Fox business is just as dumb as CNBC.
Fox business is dumb too but that chick is smoking..
Amen to the above. Can I get an A-men?
Amen!
omen
Alexis comes to CNBC and replaces Ratigan. Booyah for ratings.
That biaatch had not one original thought of her own. Still hot though..
More on why Geithner’s plan sucks

I actually used to think Jimmy “bowtie” Rogers had a clue !
But…alas…I see him now as just a ridiculous buffoon !!!

Economist’s special report
a long read, but since it’s the weekend worth the time.

LOL. So now after they’ve run the market up the plan sucks all of sudden? I thought it was the greatest thing since Obama’s birth?
“It is their money fueling the rally, yet the banks are the beneficiaries.”
Absolutely. It’s like leaving your house unlocked. Then…
…you get robbed and the next day a salesman shows up to sell you the latest anti-theft system and you buy it.. but then the salesman gives the combo to his buddy.. you get robbed again. He comes back, offers you some piss ant insurance, you feel better and they upgrade your system for a discount.
3 times the loser and the same crook ends up with your coin.
The plan always sucked. What are you smoking?
I guess it’s one of those things,
You can never explain.
Like when an angel cries…
Like runaway trains.
This market is sooooo going to crash and burn, baby.
You heard it here, first.
Pick your side: Socialist or Capitalist?
There is no “in-between”

Good find Wolf, just ran across that myself on Google Trends.
Wow, we lose two heroes in one day, first Dylan and now the Sham Wow guy. Next thing you know, the ECB will lower interest rates and begin quantitative easing
SHAM WOW
Vince’s next commercial will be for Round Two makeup, specifically designed to conceal a thorough assbeating by your pimp, boyfriend etc…
Of course it’s always sucked…….if you’re sane.
The shit was glorious per the media when the were being primed.
You see how they run the game?
“No it wasn’t an enormous pump and dump. I mean, yes, we told you, the great unwashed masses, to get back into the market, but ..I.I..I…I, mean who knew the plan was so bad? We’re so sorry you’re holding the bag now. We just “failed” in noticing how FUCKIN SHITTY EVERYTHING STILL IS. Turns out everything still as shitty. Oh my. Our handlers…ermm…WE! made a boo boo. ”
Shamwow dude kept it gangsta. Definite OG.
Geitner did work and still works for the Federal Reserve. All actions taken will increase debt and etch away at liberty.
You know, I think the Sham Wow guy’s Jaw is broken in his mugshot. There’s no way she did that. Somebody hammered his jaw. If she cut into his tongue and has HIV, he is doubly fucked.
SHAM fucking OWW
Vince FAIL.
Billy Mays WIN.
New billy mays infomercial.

Re Ratigan and Glick,hope he joins Fox Business. Gotta love that Happy Hour w/ Cody “needs a haircut” Willard, Eric Bolling (The ex-Admiral of Fast Money), and THE HOTTEST Rebecca “my pockets are getting tight, built like a brick shit house” Diamond. Also, always had something for that ex-CNBC’r redhead Liz “the carpet matches the drapes, I hope” Claman. Yes the attractive Alexis “vacant and brainless” Glick is good for a bang, but dear God, put a muzzle on that annoying-voiced, double-bagger Dagen “face that can stop Big Ben in mid-bong” McDowell. Short or long, good luck to us all next week.
CNBC just fired their own show.
It’s odd. Rogers was talking about macroeconomics and investment Alexa kept wanted to turn it into that Fox jingoistic refrain:
‘America is the world leader – if you’re saying we’re not then you have your facts wrong AND you’re unpatriotic’
It’s funny because his net worth is several magnitudes more than hers and she’s stuck with the party line of ‘Americuh, Americuh, wuh numbuh wun wuh numbuh wun’
Creditors order and debtors obey. Simple as that.
By the way, ALL American journalism is pitched to the 5th-7th grade level of comprehension. Any journalism course will back that up.
Better yet, take an article out of any US paper and paste the text into Microsoft Word, then run the filter that calculates the grade level the writing is on.
I just checked the last three Fly posts that were over a couple of paragraphs long in Word. The grade level was 7.7 – I guess he saves the good stuff for the PPT and keeps the other shit simple for Jed and Zombie.
Sure enough – just checked the “Current state of CRE” reposted on the loser site from the PPT and the grade level was 9.4.
Upmods for PoorOkie showing initiative.
Horny rally monkey humps Fly’s goat.

I am moving my shit to Macedonia, fuck these taxing homos.
normally I do not trust men who wear bow ties but this guy got it right and more importantly shorted FNM, FRE, and C down to a dollar. Why would this admittedly good looking chick question his opinions. He nailed the entire implosion
Billy Mays beard winds by default…all the time….every time.
In other news defense stocks seemed to ” fortune tell” the big up days lately.
In further news on the 25th an F-22 crashed and the pilot could not/did not eject. All this talk of cost overruns and constantly needing upgrades even after 100+ billion program.
Hmmm. idk.
“normally I do not trust men who wear bow ties but this guy got it right and more importantly shorted FNM, FRE, and C down to a dollar. Why would this admittedly good looking chick question his opinions. He nailed the entire implosion”
Agree 100% oldman. Aside from her shrilling voice, she sounds so fucking naive it’s embarrassing. She was always touted as some bigshot trader at Morgan Stanley. Always came across as an entitled little shit to me. No original thoughts…nada….

Sham wow tonge bitter… hahaha
That’s hot?
You guys need to get out more. She’s decent looking but that’s about it. That voice attached to that body is like a pile of toxic assets attached to GE’s hip. Yeeeesh!

Its down to the “Elite 8”. Fly can you give some commentary on the Stock Tourney? Its disgraceful that such a great event is not worthy of your commentary and picks.
Anybody who in the last 2 weeks has used the term “BTFO” needs to check his self.
Jake do you have tickets to Detroit? Cardinal Freight Train!
I’m glad the Jayhawks took their medicine early.
I am a pile of shit on top of an iceberg.
KC– I do not as of now, and am contemplating whether I want to take my life in my hands in travelling to Detroitistan in April. Still, I think the Cards have a better advantage over Mich State than they would over Kansas.
Their biggest obstacle right now is their own big overconfident heads. Thus it has been, all year.

Hey “Canada”,
Guess where all that shit and ice ends up when it melts?
Asshole.
I have an inferiority complex.
I have health care and shit people can actually value, like more oil, gas and water I can ever use for myself.
I have nukes, and I know how to use them.
In the future, the mighty greenback will be referred to as the TP.
And then the South will rise again.
If that’s “healthcare” you can keep it.
___
Born in the USA, I have lived in W. Canada a long time. The health care system WORKS! But, may require “juice” to get something pressing done. For those with real emergencies; heart etc. Cda is fine.
BUT, TDW (the Canadian entity) sux big and the lack of competition combined with the collegial relationship between large corporations & regulators makes sure the average mooch never gets a straight count. And, never buy a new car there, unless the dealer is a relative you’d like to subsidize.
Best place to live today? Maybe NZ
alexis glick is hot. Eat her ass hot. But dumb as a box of rocks.
Would someone put a cock in that gals mouth to shut her up.
someone needs to tell these braindead whores on financial news networks:
TITS OR GTFO.
The FT article that Fly linked to?
Grade 10.6
Analysed at: http://www.addedbytes.com/readability/
GLASS HOUSE ALERT:
Cuervos is writing on a 6th grade level, according to his little magical web page analyser [sic].
also newspapers’ style guides contain recommendations on their reading level (or informally by editors). For example, common newspapers are normally recommended to be 8th grade by their editors (notable exception is USA Today, which shoots for 6th grade). the goal is to be able to communicate, not come off as some kind of sophomoric MENSA dilettante.
Hulk no school. Hulk read slow.
Hulk like stock. Hulk have PPT. Hulk bank coin.

Hey Señor – did you ever think I didn’t always write on a sixth grade level? Perhaps I’m trying to communicate things in as direct a way as possible?
Look here, I’ve routinely had comments asking for clarification on what I’m talking about. I do that but, it doesn’t mean that I live in a glass house – it means that my writing style is adaptable to the aim of the communication.
A year ago I wrote http://www.ibankcoin.com/peanut_gallery/index.php/2008/03/19/some-game-theory/ which you commented as This post is far and above the average readers IQ level. Good post.
That post garnered 18 votes, for an average of 4.22 out of 5.
These days the average vote count is about a third of what it was a year ago isn’t it?
Further more, I wasn’t the one that graded your posts, it was PoorOkie!
I just gave him mod points because I thought it was brave of him.
FINALLY, my game theory post rates a 10.8 on the grade-level scale.
My apologies, I under represented the score since I was using http://www.editcentral.com/gwt/com.editcentral.EC/EC.html to grade that post, if I use the “magical” website it comes out as 12.52
Would you like to share which post came out as sixth grade sir?
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” – Theodore Roosevelt
Not a bad quote from a man who got duped into going to a war by Hearst and the rest of the ‘populist’ press of the era.
