if you had the doomsday scenario unfold as those who acquire metals are expecting, how will you exchange the metal for goods and will you get fair market value for your metals

This is what the doomsdayers don't focus on, namely, that if their blessed event occurs, we won't be "exchanging" anything for anything. We'll be brutalizing each other for antibiotics and weapons. If they get what their begging for they'll regret it. Some of their kids will be killed for the food in their backpacks, some will be raped, some will be burned in the streets. If you have a brain in your head, you don't want the "day of reckoning" because you're not prepared to deal with it. Well, unless you're sitting in your bunker loading your gatling gun.

No ones talking about an apocalypse here. Just a serious devaluation of the dollar and a decline in US living standards.

When Google pops so goes the Market, the Busses, and all of your problems.

Let me ask a serious question here.

How many of you that are butt hurt by Google's pressures they created on the SFBA RE area, still have Google in their 401K?

We're the fucking 1%!

that is a MISTAKE. Go visit it at it's worst, try December, January or Feburary

Agreed. Portland, the Northwest, in late summer is heaven on Earth. Everyone has been cooped-up all year, the hot weather hits and people lose their minds by BBQing and partying outside every day for a few months. Everything is sunny and green. The green coming from the nine months of rain you just endured.

It's a great place to live for a lot of reasons but I'm never living in that weather again for any reason I can think of at this point.

Just wait

Shucks! No meltdown today. One down, four to go. Then we wait some more I reckon? Just sayin' it has to happen this week: "now is now". It's the end of the world and Jesus is coming. If it doesn't happen, at what point do you recommend we stop paying attention?

All stocks are behaving wicked right now. In four days many meltdowns can happen. Be prepared to lose if you ignore. Just saying...

Guess you turned off your lights just when the final bell rang. Tomorrow is going to be some sharp moves DOWN. That means UP UP UP for me. ;)

Why not both at the same time?

What is more just?

This is an extremely important chart and everyone should take a real good look at it, but the constant posting may be defeating that purpose. What we should do is all post it to social media sites with a short explanation of its ramifications. Get it out there in the public.

Wow yea the stock marfket is really taking a bath, only up 0.5%

Yeah looking ok so far today (but could still turn around later depending on anticipation of tomorrow's Fed decision) - tomorrow the Fed will likely postpone more tapering due to the recent minor "turmoil". If they taper more I expect red. Also durable goods wasn't great. Still looks shaky to me. Would need a couple of green blowout days to shake out sideways/down action.

I dunno mell,,,it seems to step up, step up, step up. It would take a whole hell of a lot of down days to put a dent in these gains. Not sure there is a need for "a couple of green blowout days" to cease all this bloodletting. Its not like the market can just go up 0.5 -1.0% 250 days per year. Every stocks chart shows years of steady climb. I see no reason why anything changes anytime soon.

The other 95% of the worlds population is just getting started at playing ketsup with America, and the corps are global. There ain't no stopping it now, the markets got the groove

More of your clearly anti-semitic nonsense. Oh sorry, more of your 'zionist' nonsense. Why don't you give it a rest?

I am unaware as to whether the Rothschild family is indeed the true rulers of London or whether they are Zionist or anti-semetic, but they consider the City of London a crown colony and sovereign state with separate laws, just as they also consider Vatican City and Washington D.C. similarly.

You'll also notice another commonality. Each of those locations contain an obelisk of sorts. In Washington D.C, The Washington Momument, In London, Cleopatra's Needle and finally in Vatican City, the Vatican Obelisk located in the center of St. Peter's Square

Oh, and I see that Bigsby is here and when I saw the topic of this new thread I could predict you'd be all over this one. I know you are probably rushing to say hello to me after seeing me post in this thread so I thought I'd beat you too it.

Suppose the powers to be will not allow the market to drop precipitously.

Just as a heads up so you don't waste any more of your time trying to troll me - I've now put you on ignore.

You do what you want. But know this, my natural father was Jewish and being anti-Zionist is not being anti-Semitic. You are such a tool, Bigsby.

Oh, I didn't put you on ignore Bgamall. The comedy value is too great. It was the other chap. And yes, we know your natural father was supposedly Jewish as you've mentioned it so many times I've lost count. It still apparently doesn't prevent you from being anti-semitic though, does it?

Moshe Dayan said that Israeli villages took the place of Arab villages. He admitted the Palestinians were pushed out. Now we have the rejection of a two state solution in the news. We knew it would happen, Bigsby.

'We' knew it would happen? FFS Bgamall, try and keep up with events. The Israelis have been pushing out the Palestinians for a very long time. You sound like you think this is some kind of revelatory news.

By the way, have you come to a firm conclusion yet about whether those two women are not one and the same?

Aww Bigsby, you hurt my feelings homie!!! He's referring to me, which I find so funny but truth be told, just based upon the topic of the thread, it's very easy to find you Bigsby so I figure the only way you'd be able to avoid me is to never write here in our forum again, and I actually enjoy your responses here and furthermore as others here can see, I've never been mean spirited or nasty to you so I'm in awe as to why you are avoiding me my friend. I see that you come from the Middle East, I believe Kuwait if I'm not mistaken. Do you avoid me because you consider me your enemy being from the Middle East and myself from N.Y. and American? I know the policies of the U.S. have been oppressive to the Muslim population in the Middle East and I too do not agree with it....

As the other poster mentioned (whom you of course deleted), what do you notice about that site you linked to? And what is your utter fixation with anything negative that you can find to do with the Jews? Oh, I'm sorry, 'zionism'.

Only a retard would still say Jews and Zionists are the same after being corrected by your peers. WTF, Bigsby?

Ohh, but I wasn't the only person who thought it, was I Gary? And I don't think Jews and zionists are the same. I think you are using the word as cover for your rather blatant anti-semitism. Everywhere a Jew is doing something you don't like (and that seems to be an awful lot of places) they suddenly become zionists. Remarkable.

Ah yes, 'zionists' controlling finance, 'zionists' controlling the media...

Red is the new Green. Sit back and relax as the world enters this new phase. It'll be called "shit there were consequences?"

The Livermore downtown is amazing.

You've just illustrated why I can't buy a house in the Bay Area. I'm just not amazed by the suburbs. All the same-looking houses in rows with the same yards look like a graveyard.

I don't get you. And more over, I don't get the Jews on this one.

I mean they can really kick a dead horse until it gets up and dances a jig, on a good "Anti Semitic" wrap. Which may have constituted nothing more than someone uttering the word "Jew" while being a redneck. While there's not a day that doesn't go by, that you aren't spouting of this complete and utterly useless nonsense. And they say bupkis.

Wow Bigz, you're treading on some dangerous racially inflammatory areas my friend. I am not Jewish, nor am I a Zionist, but I would advise that you'd be better served to check out Wikipedia and look into the two and compare the pages using a different tab for each.

Bgmall4 is correct in his description of the two, there differences, and the information he is providing to you has been documented elsewhere. Bgmall4 is also stating he is Jewish, so it would be logical to assume as such, he is far more personally invested in knowing the difference between the definitions of the two than you or I, since we are not Jewish and therefore, may not be as invested in knowing these things. When I read these statements spoken by Bgmall4 above, I immediately went to Wikipedia as I suggested above and reread the descriptions of both in order to be better versed in this conversation so that I could have helpful, pertinent criticisms if they applied...

I can also agree with CaptainShuddup that there are Jewish people out there who are fixated on the holocaust and the Jewish plight, similarly to some blacks who are focused on slavery that occurred over a hundred years ago and I believe that bgmall4 wasn't attempting to gain sympathy but to express his disgust with Zionist influences in the Jewish world. Am I correct bgmall4??

Redding,Ca is a good place to live. Low crime rate, very low air pollution,
small number of homeless, affordable houses.
And 300 days of sunshine.

Obviously, this has a very simple explanation:

1. Most Americans are living just above poverty and therefore don't have the 10-20% down to afford a fixed rate loan.
2. They're too ignorant to grasp the concept that their adjustable rate loan could adjust higher making their home unaffordable leading them to bankruptcy and losing their homes, despite the RE Market Crash that occurred a few years ago...

I've been to Redding and wouldn't recommend anybody to live there. It has grown alot in the last 20 years though.

Um, wasn't this part of what got us into the property crash last time? Yeah, yeah, I'll just get in with this low interest ARM and by the time it's time to refinance, I'll sell at a higher price; take my profits and run. Uh, it works great the first time or two, but eventually it's like musical chairs and you end up with no chair to sit in.

Lately I've also seen 'no-money-down' deals being advertised on home buying too. I remember THOSE from prior to the crash. You were to buy the house on an ARM. But you didn't have the money for the down payment. No problem, take a second mortgage on an even higher interest ARM. The scam was that you'd pay off, sort of, that 2nd mortgage, but even if you didn't. You could roll it into a refi for the first and then ... and then ... and then - Uh, I'm just not thinking this is going to end well.

Cheap dope, especially around harvest time.

You got to read between the lines to keep ahead of the curve. If banks are giving out ARM loans, that means they already know rates will be going up.

When gold reaches $10,000, the guy who held $1500, and didn't sell, will be much better off than the one who held out for $1000 which never happened and missed all the upside.

Speaking of predictions--how's your prediction of home prices (nominal) heading to 1975 levels doing?

bgamall4 says

Thanks for the writing for Bigsby. No, my natural father was Jewish and I am not by religion. By race I suppose I am both Jewish and 57 varieties of Gentile. :)

Maybe you should e-mail the Rothschilds and demand a pension.

It also means that buyers can't afford a 1% increase or so in rates... or, barely qualifying for the loans at current income levels so they are trying anything to reduce their payment.....

If banks expect those buyers to default (so they can foreclose on them). After all banks know risks.

I agree with bigby. Criticism of jews cannot be tolerated, so just scream racism

I can read this between the lines...........if banks don't move money they don't make money.

Don't you mean, if banks can't move and create 1's and 0's on a ledger sheet, they can't make money???

Yeah, same thing.

Apart from the "Zionist" slur you are on to something there, about Cathy McMorris Rodgers
