A Graphical Representation of the Bull Market in Depression and the Bear Market for Vacations

I was playing with http://trends.google.com this weekend after a friend told me he was worried about the suicide rate climbing in this country as the economy gets worse and the government keeps sending what's left of our money to the crooks on Wall Street and those who support them. Some interesting search word trends: Searches for the word "depression" are climbing strongly this year, but ... read more

Citigroup: Vikram, Prince and Their Stooges - A History of Utter Lies or Incompetence In Their Own Words

Citigroup executives and employees have been lying to their customers, investors, the government and -- best case scenario -- even themselves for the last few days, weeks, months, and years. The CEO and his stooges either lie to our faces just about every time any of 'em talk about their company or else they have to be some of the most incompetent executives I've ever heard of. I mean, how ... read more

Time to Buy?! Introducing the RevolutioNewsletter

I told you guys a few weeks ago that I think right now, as the economy and markets accelerate their downside pain, is a great time to be hustling, working, bleeding and setting yourself up for the next boom.

The Big 3: Since It's Easy Money Anyway, Let's Lever Up the Bailout!

1. Let’s Lever Up the Bailout! 2. Let’s Buy Big 3 Call Options 3. Let’s Treasury Short S&P Puts 1. We should take the $700 billion for TARP and just lever it up 30 to 1like the guys who used to be in charge of risk control at the brokerage firms like Lehman and Bear used to do. That’d only cost $300 trillion.  And if we are gonna make all this return on our $700 billion investment, ... read more

Where's My Money?!

Sorry for the paucity of posts this week.  I've been working on a special feature for Fox Business called "Where's My Money?!" You know I'm diligently figuring out just how much cronyism and corruption is going on as the Republicans/Democrats in power send trillions of your dollars to the largest companies and the richest people on the planet. We'll have all kinds of new features ... read more
