So, do some work, be quick. I am flying to CA tomorrow. Oh, and happy news to the wild fanitical right wing party of NO sympathizers, I will be out of touch all next week. :laugh:

Don't be in such a hurry.

Stay for a month or two.

Maybe you'll have time to read all the garbage you're trying to assign to us.

Since starting this thread you've had enough time to go out, buy the book, and read it. So have you read it yet?

 

[Nonsequitur]

There was a small group of investors (Tell us who...since you seem to know.)who saw the collapse of the economy. The saw that what the big banks were doing would end in disaster for the country, so they shorted the system and made millions upon millions of dollars. Interestingly, as is described in the book(Oh, so you DON'T know,you just read it in a book), they were glad to be on the right side of the market, making money, but were very unhappy that a financial meltdown was coming. So, as they were making money they were screaming to the Bush Administration, the Federal Reserve and others in the government that they had better act else a financial meltdown. (Well, as far as you know from reading a book.)As we know no one listened and we had the meltdown. (Of course this is your opinion after reading a book.)This book is an investigation of those who saw what was coming and the meltdown.(Gee!.... Did you follow this book and make any money?)

Has the government made the necessary corrections? They say no, it has not and that another meltdown is in the future if Congress does not enact the proper regulations reigning in the big banks and derivatives. This is a book everyone should read.

Only if they want to read fiction.
No American here wants to hear your communist ideas.

Was I being a Communist a year or so ago when I said it was the right time to begin investing again in the stock market? Frankly, I do not believe you have any idea what a real Communist is and what they believe.

Read the book my friend and find our for yourself.

I'll be honest - this is one book I won't be reading. But, CBT, you have yet to answer the question: Have YOU read this book?

"Yes" and "no" are real easy words to use here.

Not sure either...but if he'll follow your posts, he'll at least be in the ballpark.

If you want to get an idea of what Communism is...pay attention to the people you tend to quote and admire. That'll get you pretty close.

BTW, Crabby....every time you avoid answering questions and respond with homework, you lose credibility. Your current "credibility balance" is somewhere in the big six figures. In the red.
