Okay, I’ve had enough of being a sordid and cantankerous crotch. If America wants to be the boss, then that is her obligation, and I’m there for her. From here on out, I will cheer any and all publications that contain good “USA is the greatest” type of news. Why shouldn’t I?
Meanwhile, I swear I’ll laugh in the faces of asshats pushing the collapse of America because of silly reasons, like Europe. Europe is an infected contusion. A welt on the world’s scrotum. We came to this country to escape Europeans and their non-bathing ways, so why the hell should we care that their continent will cease to exist shortly?
America will still be here, hitting grand slams, because we invented baseball. And apple pie. And not sucking at things.
What did Europe invent? They invented crapes.
Mind you this doesn’t change my portfolio at all. I was never betting directly against the U.S. markets, only oil. And sometimes betting against the euro. Now that America is all badass and shit again, I know that the Europeans will have little choice but to lie down and accept our grandness. We demand a dollar so strong, a hobo with some begged-for change can purchase the finest chateau in the French Riviera.
It is our birthright, obviously.
And we also demand oil that flows in the streets. Gold paved streets. Gold paved streets with oil flowing down them.
Even now, the U.S. is putting its big, leather sole boot on the neck of our global inferiors, reminding them, “You are unfit to clean our urinals. That’s like a bidet for heterosexual men.” We will divide up all the world’s real energy sources amongst the other “less sucky” countries of China, Russia, and Germany at 30-40% discounts to current, market set rates.
Who are markets to deny us?
We get the oil, and Italy can keep the windmills, a source of “energy” that was very popular in the 1300’s.
Yessir, optimism is the way forward.

Yeah but that is just a fact. Nobody cares about seasonal workers. Obama will simply line up the new unemployed citizens and have them executed, for threatening his reelection campaign.
I used the ancient art of math to do some calculating. And when using this black magic on BLS numbers, it turns out the difference between adjusted and non-adjusted numbers is near 3 million this month. I often wonder about the quality of a fictional statistically created job. I hope they get good benefits.

fyi- grapes is grapes and crapes is crepes and never the twain shall meet
They are so gay, I refuse to learn how to spell it correctly.
touche’ er i mean touchay
That’s correct: an “e” does not make an “a” sound – ever.
Damn straight. I may not be American, but I do not underestimate its power or position in the world, like so many people seem to enjoy doing.
Since interest rates peaked in the 80’s no one has been more wrong than those who placed bets looking to profit off the inevitable demise of America’s credit worthiness.
The three scenarios possible in my eyes, all lead to the US still being the leader. First, global growth starts to pick up. Is China going to have over 100% GDP growth using its current methods, just to catch up to where the US is now? Nope. Second, we crash and burn. If all else fails I want my money parked on the best balance sheets in the most dynamic economy in the history of our planet. When all else fails, corporate America will survive. Third, we slowly grind our way into a low interest rate recession. The US just drags everyone else down with it. Who cares if the US shrinks if everyone is shrinking twice as fast. As long as there are no major inflationary forces, it will probably only advance America’s position.
People love to talk about how we are on a path that is not sustainable. But if everyone else is on the same path it doesn’t really matter. It’s like being chased by a grizzly bear. You don’t have to outrun the bear, you just have to outrun everyone it’s chasing.
meanwhile, …. back at the ranch,half of america is still looking for jobs,or a miracle. so how is this positive, cause were the best house on the worst block.
Fuck everyone else, drummerboy. I’m employed. You’re employed (I think). My close friends are employed. The beauty of America is that I don’t care if everyone in California loses their jobs.
In fact, that would make me smile. OWS can suck a dick, because America is back, baby.
You must give them credit for beer, wine, champagne, snausages [sic], fish and chips, haggis (if you are so inclined), and pizza. No?
I am going to give the Chinese credit for pizza, because even though there is no indication the Chinese ever did invent pizza (or much else, actually), there’s an old wives tale that they did.
Scratch that. The history books will be rewritten. Pizza was waiting for Americans when they came to New York.
And wine, beer, and champagne all come from America, because I said so. In fact, I claim all of Europe’s creations as her third generation son.
and no shit,i’m makin pizza tonight.goin out for the motz right now. chinese no make zaa, drummerboy make zaa
I give your optimism 2 weeks… =)
(laughter) my last sprint of optimism only lasted one.
aren’t you one of those people who have been crying “Europe!” for the past week or so? So you are the Asshat
Yes, I have been crying Europe…for months, not weeks. But I haven’t been shorting the U.S. indexes. So I’m conveniently giving myself a pass.
Let the good times roll! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqsT4xnKZPg
Lol
Ba Bye weasel boy!
The Market has taken a shat in your hat.. and so has Le Fly
You see mein freund, it isn’t about what you weren’t short.. it’s about what you weren’t long. Ciao Asshat
You couldn’t have written all of that in a single comment and saved yourself some time?
For the record, I made a pretty penny shorting oil this week per Cain’s advice. Closed it out on Thursday but I’ll be back in the game next week for part deux…
