    Tweeting on Robert Shiller, Intel, Wall St Bonuses, and Why I'm an (still) Idiot

    Here are some highlights from my week's worth of tweeting:

    Robert Shiller: “Economics has been too isolated and too stuck on the view that markets are efficient and self-regulating.” HE'S FULL OF IT ON THAT ONE. The bailouts stopped the self-regulation part of free economy. And rule of law isn't self-regulation anyway. http://bit.ly/N6Ymt

    No $ for HC reform, but $ for corp tax loopholes?!: Obama shelved a plan to raise $200 billion in new taxes on multinational companies

    When trading, it's not the news that matters, but the reaction to the news...$INTC holding its gains...for now. $SMH barely up = a tell?

    Was asked and I tried to answer: "$DJIA 10,000 -- Better This Time Around?" http://bit.ly/3nu22I

    The $140BB Wall St's payin out in bonuses this yr would buy 29 million Americans full health insurance. My shot clock: http://bit.ly/2WxeV3

    Do we need financial reform? Or should Lil Timmy Geithner and his cronies simply try ENFORCING CURRENT LAW?

    Ken’s giving back $1mm and not take a salary for this year? What a crock…let’s claw back the entire $165MM or so, no? http://bit.ly/jrFTa

    I ain't playing their game: left wing, right wing. It's the same damn bird. I'm shooting that bird with a double barreled 12 gauge shot gun.

    They call me an idiot. Was a genius for a while. http://bit.ly/3ycDuH Existentially, I wonder if this article is a top indicator.

    "Wall St is going to be paying out $140BB in bonuses this year. That is not going to create a single job in Ruidoso." http://bit.ly/34als4

    Sigh... @gogodiamond "Just did Fox&Friends with crazy Cody, he realized he put on two dif shoes (we're not used to gettin up so early!)"

    My band's latest, a new music video- The Muddy Souls "We Will Win Again". The powers can't stop what matters. Sampled Blues Traveler's "The Mountains Win Again" and put an aggressive political message to it. http://bit.ly/1KauAt

    Alleged Insider Trading King Raj...chillin' with Wall St Bailout King Hank. Feel confident in our system? http://bit.ly/3d13hB

    Apple $AAPL will beat on top and bottom line. It's gross margin that'll drive the stock tmrw. GM>36%, stock'll go up. GM<35%, it'll go down.

    Apple's component and other input costs are down big, so expect gross margins to be strong...closer to 40% would blow analysts' minds. $AAPL

    Great write up from Robert Higgs: Partisan Politics—A Fool’s Game for the Masses http://www.independent.org/blog/?p=3596

    I report on this obsessively, and even I can't tell if this is a new old homeowner welfare program or an old new one. http://bit.ly/4wjeNR

    Screw Keynes and the crony redistribution of wealth horse that he rode in on! EVERY Keynesian is my enemy. http://bit.ly/1u0qBN #tfree

    Why don't aliens abduct people in the developing world? They only like people in developed countries? And mostly white people? Just askin'.

    I'm also at war with Rush Limbaugh and the partisan politics he enables of course. He is my sworn enemy as all Republican/Democrats are.

    Do liberals still think Democrats are for poor people? Give Wall St billions, get millions back. Republicrats!   http://bit.ly/17QbkI #tfree

    Seperately, do conservatives still think Republicans are for small government after they used big govt to bailout the same Wall Street crooks as the Democrats are having dinner with tonight?

    We're up 40% on our http://www.revolutionewsletter.com stock picks since launch less than a year ago. Upcoming issue coming out this week.

Grand Supercycle

In early 2007 I began to issue warnings of an impending stockmarket crash. The copper chart continues to be a good economic barometer. Overall US dollar sentiment is extremely bearish, which from a contrarian perspective is actually bullish. Will the USD rally when the DOW bear market rally ends ? I post my analysis at this forum: http://www.zerohedge.com/forum/market-outlook-0

Interesting and informative. But will you write about this one more?

A few of the issues touched on here brings up a recent story I've read about (paraphrasing) "Dems trying to take away insurance companies' exemption from anti-trust laws." Question: WHY ARE THEY EXEMPT FROM THE GET GO?! From what little research I've done, it seems that they've been exempt for a long time and while Republicans are claiming that the solution is "no big government", I now see that they mean "big government" that won't squeeze out the pockets of private usurpers and tyrants.
