It's like the "prophets" who predicted the end of the world would be preceded by warfare across the world, natural disasters, disease, and unrest and then fail to note that's basically the standard state of the world for most of history.

It went down because of two VERY bad economic reports installing fear about a double dip recession...Right before the manufacturing report came out, stocks were up triple digits.

His predictions were a little more detailed than just that and if they were so easy why were people saying there is no way they would happen and Beck is just crazy and fear mongering?

A case in point is the monetizaton of the debt. He warned about this and people said that would never happen in this country. The Fed even addressed it saying "Absolutely Not. We Would Never Do Such A Thing". Yet it did happen, just as predicted.

He said gold was going to soar in price when it was only $700/ounce and now it's over $1600. People said he was crazy and not to listen to him. How'd that turn out?

He said the Fed was going to monetize the debt. People said he was crazy and not to listen to him. How'd that turn out?

He said America was going to fail to cut it's spending and would loose it's credit rating. People said he was crazy and not to listen to him. How'd that turn out?

Glenn said it's going to get worse. How do you think that will turn out?? My money is on Glenn.
No Crystal Ball, just many gullible people who like to pay for his nonsense,. He gets things correct on occasion, just as a broken clock is correct 2 times per day.

...if you think Beck was the only person who could have said the US will continue getting involved with other countries, that we will continue to increase our debt (like we have for decades), that our credit rating will eventually get lowered etc... then, I'm sorry. It's common sense.

However, our economy has not got worse. We are still WAY HIGHER than Q1 2009 in almost every aspect besides the unemployment rate. Do your research.
we are higher in the most important aspect, which is massive debt, and that is what is going to be "driving" the economy....


the illusion of wealth is not the same as the production of wealth.

I wonder how many more of his predictions will come true in the next few months. {I should have bought gold when it was $800]
How many have not ?

He did? NO!
That was a poster here that started a thread, not Glenn.
I don't remember Glenn having a view one way or the other on the Stock Market and the debt deal.
