Re: Saving Capitalism from Itself (none / 0)

I don't know if this is relevant but the Market in the US is about to open and the DOW futures are down 400 pts. Just another day in paradise.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

Why do you care about the Dow?

A vivid image of what should exist acts as a surrogate for reality. Pursuit of the image then prevents pursuit of the reality -- John K. Galbraith

Re: Question: (none / 0)

Can the DOW go below ZERO? Is there such a thing as a negative DOW?

Nope. Limited liability and all that.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

Re: Question: (none / 0)

Looks like the DOW fun is over for now; well above 8000.

I've seen this shit before. Will go for my morning walk, take a nap, and then get up to ... WHAT?

Lest we forget, Georgie the Decider will be speaking soon. Wonder when he'll declare himself ULTIMATE DICTATOR! We don't need no stinking Constitution or Bill of Rights!

Re: Question: (none / 1)

nah, as the DOW is negative in itself, a negative DOW is a double negative and therefore something positive.
