HItting the Wall

California spending will do that soon. Big spender Arnold should soon be forced to actually cut and make real decisions on priorities. He's been a colossal failure and disappointment as for a few years he's been a rubber stamp for squandering the State's wealth.

The Boston Globe might do that soon, too. The left-wing militant Newspaper Guild (a union) has rejected pay cuts necessary to stop the bleeding. Notably, the true "workers" - viz. printers and drivers - agreed to cuts, but the leftist intellectual writers did not. So much for Marx. I have personally despised the Boston Globe writing for decades, so "good riddance" if the paper closes.

Obama says he will "create or save" 600,000 jobs over the next 100 days. Sure. Talk is easy.

And from WSJ: "The Obama administration is backing away from seeking a major reduction in the number of agencies overseeing financial markets, people familiar with the matter say, ..."

A great opportunity is being squandered.

Here's the new name for Obama: "La Grande Bouche". Big Mouth. All talk, no action.

Word of the Day

"Verein" - noun [$100] from German
Verein means a union, association or society.
Sentence: Intransigence at leftist vereins leads to pain for workers either in the short or long term. Their ideological leaders seem incapable of rational decisions.

Le Mot du Jour

"Gueule" - noun, feminine. Many usages are insulting, low (*) or vulgar (**).
Gueule means mouth or face: 1. "ferme ta gueule!" = Shut up!* ; "ta gueule!" = get stuffed!** "un fort en gueule" or "un grande gueule" = loudmouth; 2. face - "il a une belle gueule" = he's good looking; "gueule de raie" = fish-face**; 3. (d'animal) mouth; 4. mouth, muzzle. "gueule de bois*" = hangover (literally, a face of wood).
La Phrase: Trop boire peut causer une gueule de bois.
Sentence: Drinking too much can cause a hangover.


Note: The unabridged dictionaries I use make a low or insulting term as * and a vulgar term as **. An obscene term gets ***.

the boston globe story is interesting..........the new york times who own the globe....for decades slam big business and republican administrations for strong arming unions..........the new york times pretends to be 'the big defender of the common man'

Bunkerman said...

what a pompous and arrogant and obnoxious and despicable blowhard frosty is..............if you don't care what jim has to say.........why read him??? .........i don't read anyone that i have no interest in



Va' all'inferno bob !!!!!!!!

Bunkerman said...

I guess Krugman reads this blog ... says "in retrospect", recession likely to be deemed ended this summer.

Bunkerman said...

geez, all this smooching of "Jim"

lĂȘche-cul.
wazeliniarz.

Bud said...

translation please............i have no clue what that means

mfl59 said...

Does Whitney Tilson read this blog?

"It is apparent the public is being seduced into believing a bottom in housing has been reached. We are at least a year away."

mfl59 said...

Bunkerman do you have a Paul Krugman poster hanging in your house?

Bunkerman said...

no poster of him. I never liked him - a left winger. But when he reads this blog & agrees with me (rarely), of course I like it.

Bunkerman said...

translation: both mean a**-kisser.

Bunkerman said...

Obviously Whitney Tilson does not read this blog.

mern said...

come on sal, bush didnt veto 1 spending bill till yr 6 and that was for stem cell research. for bible thumpers stem cell research is antiquated idea.

u think mccain and dumb bitch wud be any more fiscally conserative than the spear chucker?

NO WAY! ron paul was right, almost no difference between obama, bush or mccain, with the exception of israel, barry is doing ok given the steaming pile of crap he was handed by cheney, paulson and elmer.

bman u dont believe the president will create any jobs any time soon do u? then how is the recession over?

Frosty said...

UTA atta boy pigshark...feed the fish, clear that book...thx jim

Frosty said...

compensation czar, 21 and counting...that is what this country needs...and card check of course, complete with nationalized health care...tax the rich to pay for all...good choice Mern.

Frosty said...

Redbook reports a colossal plunge in same-store sales for the June 6 week, down 4.4 percent year-on-year and down 4.3 percent compared to the full month of May....all is well, revoery full steam ahead.

People with facts nonono read this blog...fantasy view from the bunker.

Spin-em said...

mern says whatever Billy Maher says..almost word for word.

Bud said...

CRDC


danke vielmals jim!!!!!!!




'stocks like NVAX disgust me'

Bud said...

mccain ?? palin ???



who gives a F what they would do.............this mooly-in-yan is in charge now...........and he can't be criticized ?? i know the national media worships him..........they don't question anythin he does


f'ng dark meat lover

mern said...

on religion yes spin im with maher.

i dont agree with him on many issues such as fiscal discipline. although he has been trashing arnold pretty bad for his spending habits.

when i became a hard core agnostic i was 15 and didnt know who maher was for another 5 yrs.

i agree with him on gay marriage too. hes against it. not just gay marriage, against all marriages.

i hope im dating porn stars when im 60 too.

u know he doesnt consider himself a democrat becuase they r now owned by the S&P 500. he has really started to lay into his audience. everytime he makes an obama joke they boo him, like u cant make fun of curious george.

mern said...

palin in 2012? well maybe thats y the mayan calender ends in 2012.........................

mfl59 said...

Bunkerman perhaps its time to start handing out fines for the "retroactive trades" that Bud hates so much...

mern said...

i think like richard jenni which doesnt bode well for me long term.

Bud said...

wait.............maher is bashing arnold on spending ?? fine


is he also bashing the shine in the white house for spending...........trillions and trillions of deficits for years

mern said...

is NVAX forming yet another flag? big short position, too.

guess ill nible at .75ish.

yes bob i mentioned it at 2.77 then sold over 3, and got serious with it after i posted all that data in here. i built the position all below 2. flipped it between 2.42 and 2.74 with a net of 2.64. im only taking down 2000 to mark it. breaks the flag im gone. breaks out, ill sell into the whoosh up.

like palin, this pig flu shudnt even be news but its hanging around

mern said...

yes sal, he is, hence getting booed on his show every friday

Spin-em said...

buy the dips..sell the rips..right mern??

Bud said...

retroactive ???? huh ???


you guys watch jim like a hawk.........y'all are obsessed with him............closet shark lovers


not you Bman

Spin-em said...

yes..Bunk...amarillo bastardo only talks behind your back...he's such a good pal.......

Bud said...

uh mern


no one gives a F how you traded NVAX.......sold here and bought there.....pfffffffffffffft

Bunkerman said...

re the sales data, one should be careful drawing conclusions when a holiday is nearby. Memorial Day was rather early this year. That might make a big difference.

mfl59 said...

"watch jim like a hawk"

WWJD indeed

"He's got your prick in his back pocket kid...youre just too blind to see it"

Frosty said...

"nonono lap dog at the feet of a false king."


nonono offense intended Krypto.

Bunkerman said...

Bunkerman said...

[I found my Samuel Johnson dictioary of insults :) ]

Bunkerman said...

maybe Chinatown?

Bud said...

Bunkerman said...

Oh, I'm not sensitive at all about that. There are very, very, very few people whose opinion of me I care about.

I do like to express my opinioin of the actions of that wretch, though. And not hiding like a cur behind a $6K wall.

Spin-em said...

Bunkerman said...

Frosty said...

"mainly cuz i want a built-in GPS"...nonono know where I'm at...nonono see where I'm going.

remove your nose from jabbaskarksaazz a start?

I think so

mern said...

spin go back to single a..........

what was the wink for? becuase i was serious....

but like everyday im getting into with some harvard alums that i went to hs with. the topic is usually barry and the bible. very hard to predict that i talk about that.

mern said...

i love this ivy leaguers who can point out how fiscally irresponsible barry is but wont admit bush did the same exact thing, just sooner.

i cant even get them to admit palin is penacostal. or she was, whatever.

mern said...

i get defriened a lot.

had 150 friends down to 118.

azzzzzzzhead!

mern said...

oh and im single, again. since i cant drive, probably gonna be spanking it a lot for the next yr. i shud be down to costa rica before the suspension is up.

mern said...

and i yes i was the one who ended it.

mfl59 said...

costa rica put a damn beating on the USA the other night...

what is up with their artificial turf mern? laughable...

mern said...

shes a methodist.

i really cant see teaching children to believe in santa or jesus. its just bullshit that fucks u up later, when reality hits.

now thats sounds like richard jenni

mern said...

like i said thursday i got to practice 1 other person showed. like 6 of the guys on my team went to the game. i didnt even know about it. but im going down 7/27 with other investors. we first visit the us embassy in san jose. then we gonna explore the new highway from san jose to the pacific. if the highway is what i expect the pacific coast will be a suburb of san jose. they need everything on the west coast from hooters to movie theatres. people r leaving the US in droves and moving there. im surprised u guys dont know people that have done it or r doing it.

Spin-em said...

why would you even bring it up then??...you got a pair of dueces...

mern said...

fired my real estate agent. he says its all about price. so why the hell pay him 6%?

started at 239, now down to 200, still not 1 offer.

housing bottomed, recession over....... i cant wait to see what bullshit price the state says this pos is worth when i comes to paying my property taxes. this yr i can fight em when they tell this house is worth 300 grand. ill be like "really?" i can get a bid at 200, heres your proof, been on the market all yr no contracts no offers, barely even a walk through.

mern said...

i dont know it was a while since i played any baseball. nice to know i can still throw the spitter.

mern said...

i wonder what i cud get on a reverse mortgage for this pos?

maybe 75 grand? i wonder if its truly that bad. i shud try, just to see.

Bunkerman said...

oh for Christsake, mern, your brain is surely fried.

Why do you thnk I chose the name "Lyndon" for him ? ... One reason is that LBJ spent and spent like a fool; the other was the way he ran the war.

Bud said...

don't worry mern...........your boy barry gonna fix the economy


you sell your house for 375k.....next spring....be patient

maverick said...

fact...some condos in Ft Myers sold two years ago for $220k now selling for $30k....buddy's townehome in Tampa sold for $360k two years ago now selling for $180k. hope it gets better

Frosty said...

Mike excited as all heck to hear you are playing in the US Open...do you know who you will be paired with yet...well done sir, make the bunkerboyz proud...I will be traveling to sturgeon for the rally, can someone TIVO for me ib their blackberry curve 8900.

Bud said...

listen you f'ng prick


uhhhhh.............actually that was very funny..........and easy to understand..........ok....i


'call off the dogs'

mern said...

i wasnt talking about u bman. most of my friends from high that r still alive went to harvard, duke, stanford or swarthmore.

the university of dayton was a community college compared to what i grew with.

the guy i get into the most with, from harvard, is really funny. he also won out on jeopardy back in the day when they capped u at 5 days.

everyday he posts endlessly about obama. everytime the article says obama i change it to bush. its the same stupid crap, just a spear chucker doing it now. obama, bush whats the difference? they r reckless spenders moving the country into BK.

im sure big mac wud be doing even better....... "the economy is fundamentally sound" this as the world was ending and a week later he suspended his campaign due to the economy. i never even seen cramer get whippsawed that bad. then to donate money to him and have him give palin a shot. WOW! what an idiot!

mern said...

if palin wasnt hot none us wud know she was alive.

the right, keeping it real!







































REAL DUMB!

Spin-em said...

had to look it up 2 "richard jenni's" today.....are you crying for help mern?..maybe you and bob can go fishin together....

Frosty said...

sorry Spin boat is full...MLF59 can take Mern with him...private mail, he is going to india to buy up condos.

mern said...

omg i forgot about that. jay must be crushed on those.

i thought richard was pretty funny, but he was very dark. not surprised he offed himself.

he made next to impossible to disconnect from his site. i had to cancel the credit card, and he was double charging me. we wud talk he wud say he wud take of it and nothing wud happen. i got a bad vibe from him near the end. his site still up?
