Merry Christmas to the Small People

The Tiny Tim’s of America will be hobbling around this Xmas, without turkeys on their tables–because congress isn’t interested in doing their jobs. For some reason, both parties feel it is beneath them to negotiate, likely the result of mass doses of psychotropics and narcotics. Starting immediately in 2013, EVERYONE in this great fat nation will get to “enjoy” a tax hike, even the most destitute. I told you this would happen. I am telling you now, we are months away from concluding this crisis.

Whether or not the government purposely thrusts this country into crisis is immaterial at the moment. Just know, as sure as you are sitting there in that bullshit chair, crisis is coming. It’s as if our elected officials were working for a foreign entity, whose purpose is to bankrupt and weaken America in order to set it up for a hostile takeover. If that’s the case, “The Fly” tips his hat to congress for a job well done.

Ignore the people, for they know nothing. Keep doing whatever it is you believe to be righteous, even if that means driving the car made from dynamite sticks into the sun. We’re all passengers in this car, driven by the President and his sidekicks of spastic morons.

Over the past 3 weeks, I’ve been cursed with one disaster after the next. I consider 2012 to be one of my worst years ever, even though my gains say otherwise. There have been too many blow-ups and too much volatility associated with my holdings, as is the case with VHC today. For as much as I like VHC, the stock trades stupidly and requires the patience of a Saint to hold it for longer than a week.

    Small stuff I bot for Christmas presents online this year is crap. Some earrings from Amazon of red garnet, 5* rating were dull and brown looking. A T-Shirt from Zazzle that I paid $38.60 for, to get a nice one, was a piece of shit I wouldn’t pay $8 for or ever expect anyone to wear. I’m going back to the stores.

    Congress and the Prez can kiss my ass. Cliff jumping looks like a good alternative. 0bama wants to keep spending until we are banko and then blame capitalism for the failure. Yeah, it’s the popular thing to do.

    @ Fly: Completely agree with your observations. Maria Bartiromo was completely correct in her interview with the Congressman:
    “Are you incompetent?” Of course the answer should have been: “Yes, we are ALL incompetent!”

    Fucktards, one and all!

    Tea Party Republicans can’t negotiate. The only transaction they’ve ever conducted is bartering corn liquor for guns and ammo.

    I own but two stocks — EXK and MCP. I hold them tight, fists clenched, unwilling to let them go for fear an acquisition may be announced the next day.

    Daily, and without much exception, they disappoint me over and over. Stealing what little money i have left by dribs and drabs. 2012 was indeed the year of the apocalypse.

    Merry Christmas to all. There will be no Santa rally this year, only more coal. Which in and of itself is overpriced and there is a supply glut, to make matters even worse.

      And a Merry Christmas to you.
      Hang tough,although I would be shocked if EXK was bought.
      It’s just a trade and not a hold imo, like all of the other mining stocks.
      The last time I recall a silver stock being bought was about 20 years ago when the assets of SSC (Sunshine Mining) were bought when it was in Chapter 11 (stock was wothless).
      Most are crap because if they were worthy of long term holds they would be 4X the price they are now (based on price of silver over last 12 years).
      SLW may be an exception.

    Four people were killed, including the gunman, and three state troopers were injured Friday in a series of shootings over a wide area of central Pennsylvania, authorities said.

      The sad thing is many Americans have been unable to make charitable donations as they have in the past because of these difficult economic times;

      Americans are very generous when they have something extra; Lets hope we can once again return to that day when making a gift to charity is an easy trade.

      1% of the blacks in the US cause half of the murders, over 5000 per year. If libs were interested in controlling gun crime they would start here. But sorry, that would be racist.

        So what solution do you propose? Make it legal only for whites to have guns? That would indeed be racist and completely unfair. Most murders by blacks seem to be murders of other blacks, in dangerous neighborhoods. People have a right to protect themselves.

    I didn’t end up buying anything today!
    Nothing was cheap enough.
    There is no reason for us to trade up on Monday unless the assholes can agree on something by then so maybe there will be better deals on Monday.

      Tea Party and Germany. Let’s not leave out the Germans, they are fiscally responsible as a group. Its also the fault of anyone living within their means here in the US – as obviously they are being selfish. Just ask any member of the news media or a politician. They’ll explain it.

      Well, that would be a true headline. The Tea Party won’t even compromise within the Republican party. They have to get 100% of everthing they want or else they vote No. If U think that is a practical attitude for a Congress person, or a way to come up with a budget, then U need to explain why.

    I was down .26% today and after adjustung for currency I was probably closer to breaking even.
    Not exactly a bloodbath!
    I didin`t pick anything up today because I couldn`t find anything cheap enough.
    If the market shoots higher on Monday, I`ll regret it. If the market heads lower I`ll be tempted to nibble.
    I`m up 9.6% for the year, nothing to brag about. Shitty actually!
    Dow is up 7.97% YTD
    S&P is up 13.72%
    Nasdaq is up 15.96 YTD
    In hindsight I could have allocated funds into those 3 indexes equally and I would have been further ahead without all the daily aggravation and headaches!
    I sure makes you wonder.

        Part of my problem with performance this year has been that since I am a Canadian, I am half invested in the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX).
        TSX is up a pathetic 1.72% YTD!
