“I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!” — Captain Renault

Pay no attention to these smarty pants bloggers.
Just listen to our economy’s Baghdad Bob – Larry Kudlow.
Or if that hurts too much, you can just turn the volume down and admire the money honeys.

Viva CNBC!

PS: I should also mention that there is a decent GUI feature in OS X that I like: F9, F10, and F11 (default mappings).

These are very nice features, but they are so important that I will get another Mac just to have them.

@Thor”Simple easy question for those who care to answer though – for those of you who have moved over to Macs – would you ever go back to Windows? Is there anyone here at all who was on a Mac, didn’t like it, and went back to Windows?”

I have a newish iMac. My warranty runs out next April. The replacement will NOT be a Mac.

As I’ve mentioned before, I don’t like OS X. The only thing that I do like about it is the fully operational CLI.

@ CV:

What say ye?

I’ve been poring over some weekly, daily, and 15 min COF charts trying to ascertain what happened here today…

Are there fibo’s in play here? Or just a plain jane pivot reversal?

Thanks for the followthrough, btw, I’ve been keeping pretty quiet today. Just kind of lurking around. Have to admit that seeing the market reverse and trade higher today kind of frustrated me. But it is what it is. Back to the drawing board I suppose. I thought for sure that super rising wedge on the 60 min SPX charts was going to play out. Foiled again.

@batmando,

I posed the OTB link for you in that other thread yesterday night. It’s worth a read if you still want it.

Hmmm, is that something they only sell in Cali Franklin. lol. That was a funny typo.

Do others notice the higher level of bull posts on here the last two days, especially yesterday?? Gotta love seeing the bulls get all excited over something that could have been predicted back in February.

Also, Eric Tyson, where are you? Please respond to my questions in the Financial Profits and Rising Debt Era thread where you decided to try to get people to read your article on Prechter. I wrote the last post there as I didn’t see your question to me until last night. I found many mistakes in your article that your readers should be aware of and I’m curious to hear your responses.

China can keep up its lending for a long time – their banking system has much higher capital levels. Also, their consumers are much less levered. And I don’t believe what their government says, I believe what their companies are reporting, which is accelerating growth. I agree that Brazil is a beneficiary of China and the two are linked.

Of course there’s this….
