ydkf-
ah, more drivel. yk, you make it so easy for me to discredit you, mainly by contradicting yourself. this thread is 13 pages long, and i dont feel like cutting and pasting right now, so im going to summarize a few of your contradictions real quick. of course, if you deny any of these obvious contradictions in your writings, at that point ill be more than happy to go back, cut and paste, and humiliate you as the liar you are once again.
-you claimed victory on your bet, now you are saying there is still over a month to go and no one knows if youll win or not
-you start by emphasizing the markets, then you do a 180 and say they are nothing but a "side show", then continue to emphasize them once again, in fact displaying links from stock market websites as your ammo
-you claim that it is "imaginary" to think the markets are oversold, then you post a link as YOUR reference that specifically explains that the markets are oversold .....(personally this one was my favorite, im still laughing)
-you say you never meant that the financial system would be in a state of war, then you explain how the financial system COULD go to war, then you say once again that this is a ridiculous notion to think that the system/markets could go to war........youve been round and round in circles with this one, to the surprise of no one. talking in circles is a classic trait of delusional "prophets", and more specifically of jws.
anyhow, i think there are probably more, but those are the obvious contradictions that pop to mind. on to other matters....
So far your only response has been to say that you think it's a good time to buy stocks cause they are oversold.
another common practice of you and your kind is to twist other peoples words, adding thoughts, changing meanings, etc. please go back through all my posts and find me the spot in which i said it was a good time to buy stocks. you wont find it, because i never said it. in fact i said the exact opposite, that our firm was bearish, had been since 2000, and that we might not have seen the bottom yet. you are either a complete idiot, or you just refuse to read what people actually say, perhaps both. fyi though, when we do find a definitive bottom, whatever that may be, it then could turn into a buying time, as the market is cyclical, and as YOUR link pointed out, never moves in one direction all the time.
what i DID say though, was that the market was oversold, which i proved with a link, as a FACT, to which you said i was imagining things. you ignore fact, and brush it off as "imaginary", which i find utterly hilarious!
You have absolutely no rebuttal for the mountain of evidence I linked to that indicate that people in the business, who like yourself want this system to go on, see big, big, trouble brewing, not because of a stock market decline alone, but because of the bloated credit system and the derivatives.
once again, i have never denied that the economy/market/system is on shaky ground right now (youd have to be a complete idiot not to see that), and i have said numerous times that there are those who are bearish (on the economy and the markets), and there are those who are bullish. what you continue to fail to understand, is that the "credit system and the derivatives" revolve around the stock market. you keep making a distiction between the two, and downplaying the market in the big picture, when actually the market is the centerpiece, which i doubt you will ever understand due to your lack of a grasp on the financial system.
so tell me why i should bring a rebuttal to that which i am conceding? yes the market, the economy, etc, is currently in the tank. hell, investor sentiment is at a 10 year low, and nothing is giving us any indication that things will turn around by the 4th quarter, or even the 1st quarter next year. we might have to wait for next summer! does that mean a collapse of the dollar is imminent? of course not. does that mean if we do have a crash in the economy (we are already in a recession), and/or a crash in the markets that we will not recover? of course not. are any of these scenarios (i.e., dollar collapse, financial collapse, etc.) inevitable? of course not. anything can happen, yes. we could go to ww3 tomorrow. do i think that will happen, and will i go spouting off predictions about it? of course not, not unless i want to sound like a raving lunatic.
the real matter at hand, which weve been debating from the early pages of this thread onward, is.......your bet to us. i have accepted the bet, WAY BACK WHEN, as did many others. you then claimed victory, which we all debated with you. now we are back to square one, becuase you are now saying that we have a month to go, and you may or may not win your wager. and you still refuse to name parameters, precisely so that you can remain vague enough to claim a victory either way. again, when november comes and the "almighty dollar" is not in fact worthless, we can all sit around and have a nice belly laugh at your expense.............and from what i understand, this is a yearly ritual, so im really looking forward to my first taste of it.
