Zzzzzzzzzzzz ...

A rare event just occurred. I woke up at dawn, not predawn at 4AM. My dog, Sky, licked my face to wake me up. I guess the cold medicine made me oversleep. I probably needed the extra sleep as I am still a bit sick.

Can anyone doubt that larry Kudlow is a bombastic idiot ?

He's bloviating about a stronger doller ... and how can one suport the dollar ?

Only two ways: raise interest rates or get economy moving again. Euro is strong - does he want Fed to follow ECB ?

What a fool !

what...bashing mr mustard seed...I thought all you premabulls stuck together.

Bunkerman said...

I wonder who has considered that the Federal & State governments have collected billions in taxes paid on phony Madoff profits ?

Bunkerman said...

if union pensions funds got taken by Madoff, I think he won't last the year.

Frosty said...

Philadelphia....city of champions...

mern you watching the game with
"jim" on his 54675838 inch television?

Bunkerman said...

Cramer is not my hero.

He agrees with me a lot now, since I think his minions read my blog & pass it on to him.

;)

Bunkerman said...

800K jobs lost is not bullish.

But I don't think it matters a lot now (to stocks) - a big loss is expected, and has been expected since October.

Frosty said...

Bunkerman said...
