I just found some Doug Kass articles at TheStreet. You’re right, he and I think alike. I’m going to start looking more into his ideas.

Ask most Americans and they’d probably say “like shit”. And since they are 70% of GDP, well you get the picture.

And the gap between what Tim’s vulture partners will pay for hypertoxic assets and what the banks can afford to sell them for will grow even larger. Need more subsidies there too.

also “Grains” price spike on Supply constraints, a very real possibility.

“Magic” mushrooms?

yon’ $ is going to be a problem..people should remember 1/$, it’ll help them, going fwd:

…..One of the things that most Americans don’t get is the extent to which rules are set by the industries they effect……..who do you think sets all the rules for the transport industry…..or ic engines…..or waste disposal….or safety regs….or just about anything else…..typically trade associations send people to man all these standards committees….sure there’s some token union, academic or govt presence but the real muscle comes from the industry who have the resources to produce the papers and do analysis….this is very unlike Europe where industry does have a voice but where in the main these groups tend to be dominated by govt scientists or specialists of one sort or another…..I’ve seen both systems close up….so not surprisingly most regs come out looking like the particular industry wants them to look….govt in the US by and large doesn’t have the resource to oversee all this stuff which is why we keep hearing horror stories out the FDA.

I hear ya, that coupled w/ your SPX+, DX- view, makes sense. distraction of higher stock # prints, that are worth less..
