I don't get this.... you are constantly starting threads by simply regurgitating a link to one of the sites you like, without offering any opinion of your own, then jump all over anyone who deviates from your notion of a perfect thread course when you aren't even participating in it.

When have they been right? Never. You'd be better off quoting LEAP/2000 or GlobalSecurity.com. At least they're only off by 97%.

Aside from the fact that their logic and reasoning is wrong, the fact that this is the same recycled nonsense the printed 6 months ago, and 6 months before that, and 6 months before that, etc etc.

The "too big to fail global banks" have been failing since 911 (according to them).

Since when is discussing the facts and debating the merits of your article "spoiling" the thread? Isn't that what "LET'S DISCUSS" means? Sorry there, comrade.

Well said Slackjaw. The doom and gloom crowd doesn't like people who counter their "facts". It blows big holes in all the crackpot conspiracy theories and makes them nervous. I just read some of these posts for comic relief.

So what if I start a few links? As to my comment I add one when I think it's appropriate and won't sway the discussion. I particpate as I see fit like any other adult when I have something to add or question.


Also I believe it's way more than rude ,as well as a waste of sever time, to go off topic since we are all guest here. So I try to stay on topic or I keep my mouth shut. A good example for all ,including you, to follow.

Any more questions?? If not please get back on topic. Thank you.

There's a difference between starting "a few links" and spamming the board.

If you want to peddle Global Regurgitation nonsense, perhaps you should get your own web-site.

Chang has been predicting a big global crash every month for a very long time and so far he's 0-51 on his predictions. The only thing he's interesting in is selling his "books."

In the first place, anyone with a degree in economics (like me) knows the "Great Stock Market Crash of 1929" was a non-event.

No stock market crash has ever caused a recession or depression and it never could. You might want to check your facts a little more carefully.

So unless we all have degrees in economics and don't read websites you question then we shouldn't post here ?

I, for one, enjoy the variety of posts and links and can judge sites on my own thank you.

Just some other articles reflecting the slowdown.
Calls for a QE #2 and Stimulus #2 most likely won't work either.

AFP: IMF warns of debt menace as recovery slows
"Downside risks to the recovery have intensified. The combination of sovereign risk and a still weak financial sector in many advanced economies poses significant risks to the recovery," the IMF said.

FOXBusiness.com - Roubini: 40 pct chance of US double-dip recession
"There is still a 40 percent chance of a double-dip recession in the United States, and the slide back into recession could come within 12 months, U.S.economist Nouriel Roubini said Wednesday."
