BF2S Forums Double-dip recession imminent

Just read about this. Looks grim for you guys in the US

UK is still scarred and the cut is still bleeding. Just got a job and I'm so glad I have it.

So what are good stocks and shares to buy now?

I'm wondering when I'll find an excellent opportunity to sell my gold.

What do you guys think of this `Hindenburg Omen`?

25% accuracy rate...

Just mentioning it will force people to bail though, irrespective of the odds.

For those who believe it and act on their belief, yes they will exit the stock market. Your statement is very vague though so it is hard to tell if you actually believe the market will decline on such a level based on the Hindenburg omen.

What do we need to do Mr. Hunter/Jumper?

For a start - make sound economic and political decisions based in reality and experience with a credible, tested, experienced  leader.

for example avoid Candidates who think there are 60 states in the United States of America,

or anyone who thinks you can spend your way out of debt,

or tax your country into prosperity.

or can't remember what religion they are.

So avoid Republicans as well as Democrats? Gotcha.

Name someone who would fulfill this role.

Why should a candidate's religion matter? Who can't remember their religion?

It doesn't matter.

Yea, but I think he was referencing to Obama. The right-wing Christians don't belief his testimony of being a Christian and feel he is a Muslim, but as far as being a President goes, it doesn't matter. It's not a religious debate.

So I get the feeling mr hunter jumper is one of these Republican rank and file types.

Ya think? Anyone who is a 'liberal' is his enemy, anyone who is conservative is his friend, and anyone who is in that large majority block of people who don't belong to a party is a fence sitting pussy. And Republicans wonder why they have such a hard time garnering independent votes. They alienate them every chance they get.

It is sad because they make up a majority of the tea party and it's been hijacked by the Republican establishment. I thought it was odd for Republican congress members organizing a Tea Party caucus. Shouldn't the Tea Party been organized from the tea party?

His post was silly rhetoric anyway. Experienced and tested leader doesn't mean anything unless actual wisdom was gained. Being a congressmen for 20 years certainly does not relate to being a good government elected official. It more likely means they know the machine innately and know how to manipulate it.

Even if the economy crashes tonight, I'm fairly certain I'll wake up in the morning. People have been through worse and survived.

Ugh, I'm just tired of all this "The sky is falling the economy is crashing!!!!!" crap.

Gold.

The next bubble.

Gold is pretty high now, although the forecasts are for it to go much higher.

Yes, I'm certain it'll go much higher.  But as like any other bubble, it'll eventually burst.  Buying at current prices and timing a sell-off point is just crazy.

Butthurt Reps & Dems are the biggest problem in the US today, totally unwilling to do bipartisan talks to get the US back on track ... each day this congressional blockade lasts the more exspensive it will get for the population of the US ...

A political stalemate like this is not your best interest, but keep blaming eachother until it's to late ... if not already ...

I gave up many a year ago, back when he wasn't called Hunter/Jumper

Good article about how Obama is repeating history.

Roosevelt is his hero. How is this surprising?
