the board thanks you for keeping it contained in this thread.
fillerguy...you could be the best reverse indicator out there.
I see you've resorted to strictly critcizing those that offer intelligent, well thought out posts. I don't agree with everything in this thread but Ol skool has provided us with some great stuff. Pls provide me with some of your latest insights so I can make a killing going the opposite way. I'm not sure why you get so upset with people who simply have a differing opinion than you considering they're thoughts have proven quite accurate while yours have been a joke.
Don't be fooled by Charlatans who speak a few truths in order to lure you into believing their demented ideology.
example :
"Sadly, I agree with William here. WW3 is going to be the U.S. response to this crisis. And will attack either Iran or China as a last gasp to regain there dying empire. "
Doomers are attention whores. Using peoples fear in order to gain a stage to sell their agenda and twisted (and typically negative) views. They usually have some issue with the States, or capitilism, or consumerism.
You do the same thing by randomly popping into threads telling people their property prices are going down 50% and calling them names if they disagree with your negative view of the world.
9/10 Canadians are still working, most making very good money. Still paying their bills. Still paying their mortgages (go look at the CMHC default rates).
Standing in a crowded theatre yelling 'fire' makes you a dumbass. So does standing on a soapbox yelling 'we're all doomed' in a public forum.
Are times getting tough? absolutely, I've never denied that. Recessions are beneficial in that they clear out the dead wood (buh bye GM). Do I have sympathy for people who over extended themselves? no, but they are few are far between. Canadians are unbelievable cheap (people will drive across town to fill-up if the gas is a tenth of cent cheaper). This is my third recession and I've heard all you Doomers before and you've all been wrong. And you will be again this time round. The world won't stop spinning and society won't end.
But if you want to sit in your basement surrounded by tinned food & blankets clutching your gold coins waiting for the end, go for it. Do I think your f*cked up for doing that? Absolutely.
Mind you, you're all pretty tame compared to some of the people in the Kitco forums. THEY are WAY out there...
Oh, and for those of you gifted with the talent of predicting the future, you may want to contact James Randi Foundation as they've looking for someone like you.
All I've ever said for the last few years is gee....real estate prices have CAGR'd 10% over the last umpteen years...prices are getting stupid.....yuppie wannabe Mcmansioners are using record amounts of leverage to finance their granite dreams.....mkts eventually revert to the fundamentals we're due for a big pullback....be careful. Wow was I ever off?
That opinion was met with skeptisicm and snarky comments from people like you....champion of oblivious, justagirl a bunch of others. No doom and gloom from me just giving an opinion. You'd think you would have enough integrity to admit you've been very wrong and give credit to those who, politely I may add, voiced their opinions.
Where are we headed next month filler? Looking to trade here....pls provide your latest thoughts.
