" With property taxes being what they are, aren't we all (homeowners) just renting from the government? "

Excellent point.

Gov. is the LORDs of everything.

Awesome.

" Ben Bernanke is truly a criminal and perhaps a bit insane "

You wouldn't be associated with Ben's lawyer(s). That sounds like the 'typical' 'insanity defense'.

Awesome.

(Correction, make cost basis 12.10 at 12.25k dollars--down now 4.5 k dollars)Just talked it over with broker and going over the situation i just be glad it is at 12.10c/b anf not like 17--and just let it ride, and IF it doesn't go to zero, and that at somepoint it will hit like 20 again(maybe 2 years, or never)
The reality is don't ADD as the situation is unstable---when in a situation like this, where it isn't even a company, do NOT! keep throwing money as it--those that can't stand a loss of 6k sometimes end up losing 50k.
i am jut going to litraly forget about it---even if got back 12.10 i might just hold. So for me this trade remains on the books, but i am done with it---walking away.
But i do know what happened now--and it ALL Credit Suisse fault of letting the NAV premium get to high.
my guilt is i should have checked its NAV.
It stabilizing here because it NAV fair value at close yesterday was 7.83.(It low tody was 7.98, now is 8.34.
It was in continuous fall once some big money realized its NAV was at a 50% premium.
That i didn't check that was a heedless oversight.
Warning to all:with ETFs and ETNs find out what it's NAV is BEFORE deciding to buy!

i at least can feel good i ranted on this thread it was suicide to buy UNG when it was at 170(split corrected) down from 500--it is now 17. because in that case i had studied it was caught death spiral contango.
One thing we can be sure Credit Suisse is making money on TVIX.
Just fund that runs UNG are making money.
i hate to think how many were wiped by UNG, not knowing it was in a deadly contango . Max
Class Action Suits--seeing there surely were it to tune of like 1million on Margin---they would seek a class-action, as it was CS complete blame--and knowing how rotten corrupt CS is, they were probably short thru a third party that can't be traced back to them. Max

....no, slave owners were responsible for food and shelter so they could exploit your labor....governments owned by central bankers just work and tax you into the ground and bury you in debt?<g>

Unfortunately, I don't think any of these thieves and their sycophants will pay a farthing for what they have done.

For the record, Marc Faber like 6 years ago stated Greenspan was a psychopathic criminal, and Bernanke(his stooge in waiting) was a nutcase. Reason, by going over Greenspans actual beliefs and what he was doing were totally contrary to his beliefs--he was just plain criminal---where as Bernanke actually BELIEVED in what he was doing, that based on the papers he wrote at Princeton on how to prevent a depression.
Also, Richard Russell, like Faber, a polite man, on reading Greenspan's book on his term as fed Chief, called a Greenspan slime life psychopathic liar, and grostesque egomaniac.
We can surely view Bernanke as an egomaniac, because he if believes he is right because he believes he beyond brilliant. Max

Funny you mentioned him, he was one of the regulars and I was trying to think of his name and just could not! And who could forget Carter Randall and Frank Cappiello!

Regards,
John

they are trying soooooo hard to get the upwards momentum back, but there are obviously machines with a difference of opinion/program
someone either needs to slip in the updated punchcard or step out of the way

AC,

Detroit sucks, on a scale most people cannot begin to fathom. The burbs are nice. But Detroit, wow, you just would not believe it. I've taken people on many tours and they are all just speechless. One guy who lived through WW2 (yea, he was a Nazi), said it looked like parts of Germany after the Allies bombed. No shit.

Well, news is meaningless. The Dollar should be moving up, as Europe is imploding again right now. But that is meaningless. Completely meaningless. So, weaken the Dollar during the day and then if it strengthens overnight, just jam futures in the morning until the machines adjust.

I think I've just about had enough. Being an investor is over.
