Why Did Lance Morrow Create a Dark Willard Who Adds Up Evils on TV in NYC...in 1991?

I think there should be a Dark Willard. In the network's studio in New York City, Dark Willard would recite the morning's evil report. The map of the world behind him would be a multicolored Mercator projection. Some parts of the earth, where the overnight good prevailed, would glow with a bright transparency. But much of the map would be speckled and blotched. Over Third World and First World, ... read more

The Big 3: Temp Bear, Colluding Players, and iWinners

Here is what I was sweating about when I wasn't sweating about the heat or killer tomatoes today. 1. Anti Permabear, but pro Tempbear. 2. Illuminati unite to decieve you. 3. iPhone winners: (AAPL) and (GOOG) 1. I used to poke fun, all the time at the perma bears for not being able to recognize the boom times for what they were from 2003 to 2007. Oil, real estate, the dollar, ... read more

Unintended Consequences: This Latest Fed Bubble Really Hurts All Americans

Back in 2004 when the Fed finally decided to start fighting the the real estate bubble they'd inflated by cutting rates to artificially low levels far below the rate of inflation and the real cost of capital. That was after the tech bubble they'd created by cutting rates to bail out mindless speculators in the Long Term Capital Management crisis had popped, of course. Well, here we are in ... read more

Apple Down 5% Today...Take The Damn Trade

Like I said, I hate betting against good companies and I consider Apple (AAPL) a great company.  Hell, I owned that stock longer than any other stock I had in my hedge fund...riding it from $7 on my initial purchase which I wrote about in real time on TheStreet.com to when I sold all of the last of it somewhere between $150 and $200 -- I truly think this is a great company even if I continue to ... read more

I Still Hate Carrie Bradshaw and Someday When All These Women Have Bad Backs You Will Too

I know that I basically ticked off just about every urbanite single woman on the planet when I started my anti- "Sex in the City" (or "Sex And the City"...whatever) rants a few weeks ago. To reiterate my rant's main point -- urban single women take the fantasies put forth on this TV show and think that they somehow should base their own lives and base the rationalizations of their own lives' ... read more

Lehman Brothers Is Either Dishonest or Stupid

Just last week, the management at Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc (LEH) -- and by proxy, Ben Bernanke and the rest of the Illuminati promised you and me that they for sure, no way, no how, not even for one second need any more money because the losses really no way, no how not even for one second are gonna be as bad as David Einhorn and everybody who has a clue says they are. Today, Lehman had to ... read more
