love how o’reilly called him a coward.

Yeah, that O’Reilly’s some hero…

I like your idea of Italy, I was over in Italy several times over the last few years and can easily appreciate the lifestyle.

I have sailing skills, and that is my out, leave if it ever happens.

Arm yourself to the teeth, and go out in a blaze of glory.

Or, just short the crap out of everything that’s gonna go up in smoke.

It now occurs to me that doom is our fate.

He can’t even detect a massive male pr@stitution ring running out of his own apartment…

Here’s another sack of shit that shouldn’t even have a bullet wasted on his summary execution.

I Knew Bernie Madoff Was Cheating, That’s Why I Invested with Him
Posted Dec 12, 2008 12:45pm EST by Henry Blodget

From ClusterStock.com, Dec. 12, 2008:

“Interesting tidbits coming in about Bernie Madoff (read indictment here).

Specifically, we’re hearing that the smart money KNEW Bernie had to be cheating, because the returns he was generating were impossibly good. Many Wall Streeters suspected the wrong rigged game, though: They thought it was insider trading, not a Ponzi scheme. And here’s the best part: That’s why they invested with him.

For years and years I’ve heard people say that [Bernie's] investment performance was too good to be true. The returns were too steady — like GE earnings under Welch — and too high given the supposed strategy.

One Madoff investor, himself a legend, told me that Madoff’s performance “just doesn’t make sense. The numbers can’t be straight.” Another sophisticated Madoff investor actually went through trade confirms in order to reverse-engineer the strategy and said, “it doesn’t add up.”

So why did these smart and skeptical investors keep investing? They, like many Madoff investors, assumed Madoff was somehow illegally trading on information from his market-making business for their benefit. They didn’t consider the possibility that he was clean on that score but running a good old-fashioned Ponzi scheme.

And another from Whitney Tilson:

One friend who saw this coming said Madoff had his own broker-dealer and a relative as his finance guy; another friend said he was suspicious because of the 1-2%/month returns with never a down month (much less quarter or year), combined with never showing a a down month (much less quarter or year), combined with never showing anyone his portfolio. 99% of the time, if it sounds too good to be true, IT IS!”

The only thing I want to know from you is when you go from DUG to DIG.

What can I say? You’re a genius.

BTW, can you point to any time in the past 24 months at which Morgan made a bad call?

Let’s add Roubini to that challenge. How about him? When has he been wrong?

Cramer also said nice things about NLY for the better part of three years. He also liked Thornburg, a similar company that’s now delisted.

Your estimate is entirely inaccurate, as you both assumed that I am margined and assumed that I’m not playing with the house’s money.
