Vince,

Your current world view worked for the last 25 years, the salad years of your career. That time is over. Change or become a dinosaur. Do some real homework about Total credit and GDP…stop trying to hope your way out of this mess. You will be toast otherwise.

Woah. Don’t fight the Fed? The Fed has gotten it’s butt kicked over the past 1 1/2 years(since they started cutting rates). I think you’re being a tad naive in writing an article like this the day after they announce a series of extraordinary moves…give it a little time. This last move by the Fed(buying mortgages and threatening to buy treasuries) will turn out to be a big mistake. The Fed thinks they can scare people out of treasuries and into higher yielding(on a temporary basis) assets. All they’ll end up doing is scaring me out of the dollar and other US assets. The Fed is panicking and everyone knows it except you and the folks at CNBC.

I think the reader’s opinion herein, albeit 4, are fairly unanimous. That’s got to be a rarity on this site…

To parphrase, I think what he’s trying to say is:

“Blah, blah, blah, bottom, blah, bottom, blah, bottom, buy, blah, buy, bottom, bottom, buy, buy, bottom, buy BUY BUY BUY!”

When the f*#k is Kudlow going to retire. I am so sick of his pathetic chats about letting the market mechanisms sort things out. Does he not yet understand that the markets are not working? What does he not get? Denial is a very sad thing to witness.

Don’t fight the FED? Well of course not. Buy, buy, buy. That is until that dollar you’re holding becomes F**king worthless. Anybody who is a “regular contributor” on CNBC should be barred from this site.

Barry,

This man, due to his continued bullishness all during the decline, doesn’t deserve a guest spot on your blog. He is of the Abby Joesph Cohen one note canary school…it is not that he’s stupid…but in times like these if you are going to publish cheerleaders, at least make them blonde…

(Of course, he could be right, but that is not why he’s objectionable..)
