The sales data is starting to trickle in and it looks like black Friday and Cyber Monday turned out to be marginally better than last year. This could still mean that retailers did not make very much profit due to discounting, but the American Consumer appears to still be alive…
We’re doing our part to keep track of all the rosy predictions being issued by people with a vested interest in maintaing inflated real estate prices. Congratulations Christopher Joye - You’ve made our list. We been arguing for well over a year that the Australian real estate market is going to collapse on itself. We laid out our argument in a post a few weeks back summarizing the research we’ve been conducting. A few days back Christopher decided to publish an opinion piece in the Australian arguing that real estate in Australia would be fine and people like me are douchebags. I agree that I am indeed a douchebag - but at least I’m not a lying douchebag…. Read more »
So New Zealand has implemented yet another massive cut to their benchmark rate. The New Zealand dollar is currently heading into a freefall. I’ve included a five year graph below. This is starting to look eirely like Iceland. Anyone willing to give odd’s on a NZ Bankruptcy? Would Australia bail them out? What impact would that have on the AU?
Swarovski Crystals are really nothing more than leaded glass that has been cut into different shapes. Even though they are made from excruciatingly common materials, they often command prices approaching the levels of low quality diamonds. Can you imagine how fat their profit margins must be? In light of this realization, we will be launching the HoboChili Commerative Broken Beer Bottle Crystals soon. They will be priced at a very reasonable 20 USD and will be available for order from this site.
Wow… I knew there was something amiss with Jerry Bowyer… Besides his resume being really light on any real economic research, and the lack of any kind of academic credentials, this is the real money shot:
The Bowyers are currently engaged in a family project consisting of translating the books of Genesis, St. John’s Gospel and the early church creeds from Hebrew, Greek and Latin into English.
Jerry’s other posts seem to focus on finding god in Harry Potter, other religious drivel, or calling President Obama a socialist… I had to do a double take to make sure I had the right guy… Unfortunately I did..
These are the kind of people that CNBC holds up as “experts”… and this is why we will never stop fighting them.
Jerry Bowyer should be banned from writing about all financial matters. In fact, we should attach electrodes to his head that provide electric shocks whenever he thinks about anything more financially complex than giving change to customers at McDonalds, because that is the only job he is qualified for. To top it all off, this douche nozzle has decided to dye his hair blonde while wearing a dark brown goatee. Someone must have pissed in that gene pool a few thousand years ago, or perhaps his parents were siblings. Only an incestuous conception could explain the sheer inanity of his drivel. So what has he done? Continue reading to find out….
It seems like something out of a movie. It has now come out that the terrorists in Mumbai were using cocaine to stay awake during their seige. Can’t make this shit up folks.
So what is this years must have Xmas gift? Indiana planned parenthood has decided to start selling abortion gift certificates. This is probably the worst thing we’ve ever heard, which makes it the best Xmas gift ever! Give the one thing this this holiday season that money can buy - the opportunity to take away the gift of life.
Happy Hollow Days,
D la Rue
You really have to read this shit. Hank Greenberg, the felonious serial corporate abortionist that gave us AIG has written an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal. Mr. Hanky has decided to bitch and moan about the sweet deal that Citigroup recently received by comparing and contrasting it to the deal that fucked his beloved AIG.
The NY Times is fucked. Going consensus is they won’t live to see 2010 as an independent company. This is due in part to asshole bloggers like me that skim off their ad revenue by linking to their stories and abusing their content… That is not the primary cause however. The primary cause of their downfall is oral flatulation like this.
So here is a plea to anyone who reads this post. Please visit prayabout.com and ask them to pray for a sick old gray lady living in NYC… She was pro abortion, socialism, gay rights, and everything else people who pray hate… And now she’s near death. From AIDS.
