THE RECESSION IS OVER

Mark my words, Q3 and Q4 gdp data will mark an end to the recession. The economy is snapping back so fast, even the fat fucks from Ford are gaining market share. Naturally, once the economy registers a positive gdp number, the negative/cancerous psychology of a spiraling economy will be a memory and companies will start hiring again—just like that.

If you do not believe me, go ahead, short stocks with your retirement funds; have a ball. Take out a second mortgage and buy FAZ with it. I could give two shits and a gay goat about your economic disposition.

In case you haven’t noticed, the market is not giving people a chance to go long. We are in the midst of one of the greatest stock market runs of all time, similar to the 1999 dot com frenzy. If you are missing out on the fun, boy are you a fucking idiot.

With my money, I am taking profits on a variety of names, in order to raise cash. I am in the process of shifting my investment focus. Therefore, cash is needed.

The only stock that I have been buying is FNSR. It’s going to a buck. Write that down too.

Right here, right now, I like FSYS, OVTI, GME, ATHR, ARD, FNSR, FTK and MWA.

    somebody explain this shit to me.

    I am in the architectural field and I design houses etc. but, I can’t for the life of me figure how this shit is a positive for the over all economy:

    Q: If the sale of foreclosures is up (which it is and the sale of houses that the banks own are up), and if people are short selling also (which they are, I just talked to a couple short selling their house last thursday) which of course makes the “existing home sales” numbers go up, which they did today, yet when this happens the banks are writting off massive losses in the banks sales, how can THAT be good for the economy? (being banks need to be doing GOOD to have a good economy, not losing money everyday)

    just because a couple bought a foreclosure at a bank auction for .45cents on the dollar (which means the bank lost .55 cents on each dollar they loaned for the house in 2006 or 2007) and just because this is happening across the country causing the “existing homes sales” numbers to look good, how can this also be good for the banks, which are losing their asses on massive, constant write-offs?

    It seems to me that the banks losing money left and right would override and be worse than them dumping houses at losses even if they are getting them off their books, a loss is a loss and cannot be a positive just because inventory is being dumped at more than 50% losses each time a house is auctioned off.

    If all in the banking industry can be rosie by losing $500,000.00 for every $1,000.000.00 loaned out then the DOW should go to 50,000 without stopping because nothing in reality matters anymore.

    WOAOOW…Them’s some big words. Hope you are right but seriously doubt it. I just dont see where growth will come from. Doesn’t mean it won’t come, I just cant see it now.

    Yes, GDP will be positive by the end of the year but I believe we may be in for a possible double dip as payrolls will be slow to add new workers and I sense a secular change in the American people in the way we save and spend.
    It’s over.

    Fly. Your end of recession call is rife with irrational exuberance. Please take your meds. The U.S. economy is a chimera. I am glad your making money, but I don’t for a second believe this is going anywhere except to the shit hole. This fantasy economy cannot Fly.

    It’s not the fact that few bad loans were made that brought the system down, it’s the 50:1 leverage that killed these institutions. Who took those regulations away? Cocksucker!

    OCNW. $8B in stimulus money for rural broadband and only 2-3 qualified companies. Grants by Q3 and monies released by Q4. OCNW has been held down while THE Micheal Stinhardt accumulated 13% share (13G filed today). My two cents.

    Not a short term ride, but a 2-3 bagger at the very very least.

Nancy and I will send a government agent to measure your energy usage – most of you are energy hogs and you know it. I will make everyone in the world equal or my name is not Barack. A little spread the wealth is not so bad – is it? Take a look at that Tata mobile – I think that you will like one powered by the wind and sun. I flew 3 jets up to NY to see a show – so what?

    The Artist- Its good for the economy because now people can buy cheaper homes, pay less in mortgage costs and have more money to spend. If you lose your home to foreclosure on which you can barely afford the payments thats good.Now you can rent a similar house for say $1200 a month vs paying $2000 a month on mortgage payments. That frees up $800 to spend at Best Buy , Home Depot, Dell, Apple, Cheesecake factory, and whereeverthefuck you like to spend money at.

    @TX Slave Trader. Short sale a home by selling it for less than the mortgage balance. The bank writes off the unpaid balance as a loss. Happening very frequently here in Phoenix and in SoCal too. Probably in FL as well. Homes with $1 million mortgage balances selling for like $400k-500k. Banks are getting screwed. The buyer threatens to walk away if they are not allowed to short sale. A foreclosure will cost the banks even more. So it easier to short sale. The worst is still ahead my friends. Enjoy the party while you can. The end is getting closer each passing day.

    CAP,

    Thank you for the explanation. While it shares a term with short selling stock, they two processes are nothing alike.

    That being said “The end is getting closer each passing day”…….lay off the gold bug websites dude, you sound like a fuckin Evangelical…….

    Hey there Mrs. JakeCunt

    Try to read this compound statement: Ta cifsha motren, nanen, chiken dhe grune pernjehere.

    ” If you think that creating a Federal Superbank to mass-purchase shit loans via the implicit backing of the US taxpayer did not contribute to the massive mortgage bubble, you just might be a Registered Democrat.”

    First, the I in the word “if” should be capitalized, no?

    “Contribute” is the only half-ass correct word in that sentence. I and all smart people know that this word is subjective and unquantifiable. What is quantifiable is that your fascist party has created these rules (repealment of the glass steagall act and hyper-lobbying to astronomically increase LEVERAGE) and enabled these “contributions” to take place if ONLY to be used by no-brain motherfuckers such as yourself to shift the blame elsewhere while they rape you, your off springs and the rest of brain-dead motherfuckers like yourself.

    I am a registered democrat and highly disappointed that O-man didn’t take all the CEO’s and B of directors of these cancerous banking institutions OUT (like SHOOT the MOFOs in Time Square for everyone to see and have some vindication for having had this last awesome country on earth FUCKED UP)

    “If you are rght,I will have several kilos od live lobster flown to you from main or fine white king Alaskan salmon,

    Holy crap, he can’t even spell his own state’s name properly”
    —————————————————-
    What a cocksucker.

    I live in WA and the missing letters are a result of the wireless keyboard skipping now and then.

    Now go “contribute” some more in enabling the people whose cock you suck, rape some other people somewhere else. People on this forum seem too smart for your idiotic views.

    I did notice this, Ol’ Jack. And I also noticed perennial dog AA also looking to BTFO.

    A broker friend of mine suggested that both were on the “maybe get yanked” list along with GM and C, and now that they have not, have rebounded as a result.

    I’m going to ask my friend Chivas about this…

    some areas of the economy has been in recession for decades. think textile or anything manufacturing…it’s been disappearing way before the GM and AIG of this world. but don’t be blinded by the bad news. media love bad news. they dwell in it because us the public love it like a car crash.

    stop staring at the dead dogs laying at your feet. picking at maggots…

    fight the inflation by out running it. be alive. kick the door open into this new era.

    Such a reckless statement makes all your comments that more disingenuous. Your “smarts” making money in this trend is no harder that jerking yourself off.

    You may be right about the statistics in the short term (if you even want to believe them), but once the Fed money drys up and the prime/commercial/cc losses continue to pile up, we in for a much worse round 2.

    I wouldn’t go long over 800 and average in on the way down if your not a trader.

    This thing is far far from over and, Fly, you should qualify your statement.
