Do you realize that tommorrow is
"Day of atonement"?

The Jewish day when the high priest goes bfore God and if he lives, the people are forgiven, and if he dies, the nation will be destroyed?
Tomorrow is final day.

The day after that things will start to happen, surely no one is sorry for anything thiese days.

Well, can you blame him? Every day it's looking more and more like his time is about to arrive.

We'll see just how bad it gets, and when, but right now it appears that anything at all can happen.

Not to worry:

U.K. government to partially nationalize banks

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'L')ONDON - The British government said Wednesday it would partly nationalize major banks, with taxpayers taking a share stake in a bid to shore up a financial sector that many investors feared could not survive the global turmoil without government help.

"This is not a time for conventional thinking or outdated dogma but for the fresh and innovative intervention that gets to the heart of the problem," Prime Minister Gordon Brown told a news conference.
"The problems of today will not be solved by the same thinking that produced the problems in the first place." - Albert Einstein

His time? For the most part all he does is post links to stuff other people write. A lot of links... A broken clock is still right twice a day, and in terms of predictive power shotgunning stuff is definitely the way to go if a poster wants to maximize what they can predict, but it doesn't mean they were right per say.

If some of the specifics turn out to be correct, such as...$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')hat said - JP Morgan will be the sole remaining bank after global economic collapse.
W/ a respectable degree of accuracy, say 75+%, I'll be surprised and awed.

But, like I said before, shot-gunning links to bad news doesn't mean someone's right or wrong IMO, since we see both bad and good periodically. Eventually a few of lorenzo's prolific biofuel postings will probably pan out, but that doesn't mean his time has arrived. Unless of course we all get to pick a subject to spam on these here boards, and if that subject gets covered at length by the MSM, it means our time has arrived. But even then, it's not like the MSM tends to make accurate predictive statements.

I particularly liked this guy, Widgeon:

If you don't have cash ... small bills on hand ... GET IT TOMORROW. At least 3 months worth.

A "Bank Holiday" will DESTROY the Just-in-Time Delivery system ... I've loosely figured that a 1 week "Bank Holiday" could result in a "System" that cannot be restarted.

Cash on hand won't work forever ... but it will work for a substantial number of weeks, perhaps a few months (people are just familiar with it and will take it).

If you don't have a 3, 6, 9 month stock of non-perishable food ... get it. If you still need to get heating oil or propane for the winter ... get it. YOU CANNOT DELAY ANY LONGER.

He sounds like one of us.

I've seen nobody on this forum, myself included, whos been right noticably more then they've been wrong to the point I trust everything they say.

Those who do fall for such shyte obviouly have a VERY short memory or they would remember the crash in May, the WaMu failure (Which i made a bundle on by the way), the crash in August, the total collapse in September, the run to bunker, stockpile food blah blah ad nasuem since about January.

And still things keep going on.....Maybe the collapse will be tomorrow no? if not, well the next day....or the next.....Lets just live in perpetual fear! Yes!

perhaps you should make mental notes on who often people are right versus wrong, and who's trying to portray themselves as some oracle of truth......

I'm going with the crash prediction at this time. If I'm wrong, it cost me nothing to clean out the checking account and buy food and fuel ahead. If I'm right, then it is invaluable.

Too many non-white swans on the lake just now. No point in repeating them all, since it would be preaching to the choir.

Whatever anyone's opinion of Denninger, his analysis has been correct often enough that when he says something, I listen. Same with Roubini, Schiff, Mish, and Mike Whitney. Some details of their collective wisdom may vary, but the direction doesn't, and that direction is down. Throw stones at the messengers if you must, but I see no point in that. Prognosticating is an inexact science at best. Since I don't know much of anything about finance, I try to choose my sources as carefully as my limited knowledge will allow, then take the conservative choices. It's been working well for me so far.

The folks on this website have been the kick in the pants that I needed to get prepared for whatever we are facing right now.

At least I have a good start on things, and I have a few visions of what could happen from here.

After reading a few posts this morning, I went back to our local warehouse club & got rice, beans, and diapers. (which my husband said to wait on when we were there a few days ago)

Feeling pretty good about my short term cash and food situation now. Have to fill my new water containers.

So although there are a lot of posts which are titled with ALL CAPS and followed by !!!! , it is still great to know what is going on and get different points of view from people who have been following this for longer than I have.

It's at 3:20 on this video.

"The credit crisis is certainly gripping Europe. and now we're getting anectdotal evidence - scattered reports - that in other parts of Europe, some stores aren't accepting UK based credit cards. We haven't verified that, but if those kind of things start to become more pervasive...it shows that the wheels are falling off the truck."

Here's a video where they say that the ban on short selling comes off tomorrow, and that the value of bank stocks drops to zero. I think he may be right. What are banks doing? Surely the value of many of their investments has tanked. I'm sure that all banks are on the ropes right now. How can they lend money at all any more?

The whole con game is over now.

Rocc was right.

"Was"???

Every federal, state, county, and municipal service I can think of is still fully functioning.

Some banks have folded, and we're all a bit more impoverished than we were a few weeks ago, but the monetary system is working like crazy. Hey, I just bought something a couple of hours ago. I didn't have to kill anybody for it. Nobody's mugged me for my shoes yet. Nobody's lurking around our neighborhood, casing the area.

Not a zombie in sight so far.

People around here seem to be behaving like always. I'm looking for signs of distress, and seeing none. I think I'm the most subdued person I know. Everybody else seems fine.

So what, exactly, "were" you right about? If you were right, shouldn't we all be in running gun battles by now?

Or are you even aware of just how hysterical you've been?

I was low and lonely, I hadn't slept a wink
And I could only get unconscious if I'd had to much to drink

There was somehow, something wrong somewhere, each day seemed grey and dead
The seeds of desperation were growing in me head

I needed inspiration, a brand new start in life,
Somewhere to place affection, but I didn't want a wife

And then by lucky chance I saw, in a special magazine
An ad that was unusual, the like I'd never seen

"Experience something different with our new imported toy,
She's loving, warm, inflatible, and a guarantee of joy"

She came all wrapped in cardboard, all pink and shrivelled down
A breath of air was all she needed to make her lose that frown

I took her to the bedroom, and pumped her with some life,
And later in a moment that girl became my wife

And so I sit her in the corner and sometimes stroke her hair
And when I'm feeling naughty I blow her up with air

She's cuddly and she's bouncy, she's like a rubber ball,
I bounce her in the kitchen, I bounce her in the hall

And now my life is different, since Sally came my way
I wake up in the morning and have her on a tray

She's everything they say she was, and I wear a permanent grin,
And I only have to worry, in case my girl wears thin
Stuff for doomers to contemplate:
