It's More Fun Watching the Stock Market Plunge than Political News

[michaelwise]

The mainstream media fiddles while Rome burns. Nothing of substance is being reported concerning the major issues anymore. The MSM is a complete sham.

Here's why the stock market is plunging today, and will continue to plunge for quite some time.

It's so much more fun watching the Wealth Destruction being reined on the majority of stupid voters, losing equity in their homes and stocks. They're not smart enough to vote for someone who can actually fix the root cause of the problem. They deserve it for listening to the MSM. Look out for the huge layoffs coming.

I'm just sorry us smart voters who researched Ron Paul and vote for him, have to suffer because of the stupid morons.

its funny how when it goes up 200 Pnts they are all like AN AMAZING RECOVERY. then when it drops 300 points they are just telling us its a small setback, and start screaming for the fed to cut rates.

Gold is below $900.

Buying opportunity?

I find it somehow morbid how much enjoyment I get out of watching the market crash knowing that all those sheep out there voting today have no idea what's about to hit them.

really sad actually.

I don't want to say it is fun, but it is interesting.

Like Ron Paul said, the market is stronger than any of the forces that try to keep it propped up.

I predicted two weeks ago that they'd artificially prop the markets until Feb 5th or 6th, and then they'd sharply fall as the true market situation came forth. It's hard work, I bet, can't be sustained forever. By now, everyone's decided who to vote for, and the sheep won't be inclined to do anything drastic, like vote for Ron Paul.

hey.. McRomney has the fix for this problem.. come on.. the MSM has told us so... it has to be true.

Next to come out of their bag of tricks: The "This is the fault of the Republicans" meme just in time for November.

Paul needs to run 3rd party.. that's all there is to it.

Yes. But not going to be able to give shorting tutorials here...lol.

If you are new to the markets, the last thing you want to start off with is shorting securities. You can lose 100% of your investment on the long side, but the short side??? You can lose more than that.

Just pick up a few books and get yourself familiar with the markets and how they work. Pm me if you'd like some book/online recommendations for aome info on the markets. Mises is great for learning Austrian Economics but there is much info to learn when you are talking "trading" of securities. Its not "easy money" but there is definitely ways to be on the right side of a trade, profitting whether we are in a bull or bear market.

Sadly, the sheeple don't learn unless the majority of them are facing financial ruin. That day is coming.

Yeah its so great I do enjoy the fact that the idiots will get theirs in the end. While we were paying attention and reading between the lines the idiots were watching foot ball and mating like animals. They never knew the crash was coming or the draft was near. Now they stand in utter astonishment when they are forced to slave in a work camp or on the front line. They will repeat the same thing over and over "but I am an American I have rights"....

Schadenfreude is always most delicious when the people bring harm to themselves through their own ignorance and apathy.

You must be young and not have any money in the stock market then. I understand you want Ron Paul to be right - and he is. But you shouldn't want the stock market or the economy to crash.

Don't feel guilty about rooting for this crash, it is healthy and necessary for the market to correct.

I will be making money with URPIX and USPIX. They will go up twice as fast as the market drops. Look into it.

URPIX and USPIX are the mutual funds I am using.

Funny you should mention that. I live in the philly area and Hillsa is running an ad that shows a guy in free fall with the voiceover saying, "...falling into recession" and then pop! out comes his parachute and hillary is going to make everything all better. I had coffee coming out of my nose I was laughing so hard. Yeah, that's what we need...hillary to the rescue.

Although when she's taking her oath on the Bible I will be looking forward to her garnishing the wages of those who don't sign up for HillaryCare.

Americans want more government, more war, more taxes and more destruction of civil liberties, and boy are they goin' to get it.

The correction would be much gentler if the FED would just get out of the way and let the market do what it desires. I don't ever "root" for the market to crash....unfortunately, many middle Americans will suffer and the wealthy will get wealthier.

BTW- Is Volcker still warming up in the bullpen? Better get that arm loose....
