      At least I can understand that message.

      I guess they are finally putting a coherent plan together.

        Just took a walk over to the NYSE, no protestors in sight

        Media is just sensationalizing this to get ratings.

    The disclaimer is if you buy this stock you will end up looking like the gentleman on the front page.

      I already look quite a bit like that guy. His facial expression and gestures, mostly.

    That’s no gentleman. FTK is the only kind of stock for this market – quality…….rising to the top.

    Look how Patton and MacArthur handled the Occupy Wall Street President’s grandfather.

      Wonderful. Shoot at and trample those who served in the defense of this country.

      MacArthur always was the biggest piece of shit ever to sit astride a horse (after he ass-fucked the horse).

      Truman gave this arrogant douchebag his comeuppance.

    If you guys want a good laugh I will try to snap a pic of the “Occupy Baltimore” tents in the Inner Harbor. What a joke! There is not a semblance of protest or anything even remotely resembling real thought. Just a bunch of dirty homeless people. Mr. Cain gives a bad name to Republicans (if they need it) but these guys give a bad name to human beings in general. Though this thing about LEGAL insider trading by the congresshams has got me ready to pack my tent, vodka and syringes (for the others… offcourse) and go join the “protests.”

    The concept of someone political giving a good name to someone or something is a new one. Politics seems to be only about mud slinging.

    Perhaps in time we will all come to our senses and look for competent trustworthy people to run for political office– instead of passively accepting the ballot we are handed, as if it is something worth looking at.

    Did we ever look for competent people? Which ones in our past were competent?

      I should have been more specific. I meant competent at being a public servant.

      They have all been competent. The job of Congress person, as currently structured, is the job of fund raiser. So all of them that have succeeded in getting the job have been competent at that.

    0bama can’t even stage a decent protest. On the other hand, the Tea Party went straight to DC, about 1.5M in all. As they assembled and the crowd grew 0bama was whisked away by the SS in Marine One. Imagine his face when he looked down at that mass of white, middle class 99% taxpayers.

          That line is SPX 1208 … so I’m not panicking … as Fly said, this is an op to deploy your cash unless your a pussy.

          You on the other hand could be celebrating prematurely so temper your excitement before you likewise soil the one hand.

    Fly, It still amuses the heck out of me that you are buying USG. I actually had to spend time thinking of the ticker symbol of that Drywall company yesterday..and there you bring it up yesterday and today. IMHO, off topic, It really looks like Sarkozy isn’t going to get re elected?

    Gold and silver often go along with the indexes, since they are in party liquidity plays. There may be liquidity problems in the market right now, due to European problems.

    Also, MF Global’s demise may have caused some futures traders to cash out a lot of stuff and withdraw their money. MF took money out of customer’s segregated accounts– which is against the law, even in bankruptcy, but they did it anyway. So other people may have started thinking “Is my futures broker going to do this to me too?”
