I only meant the Vegas example as a moral not a legal analogy. Is it ok to steal from Vegas. The other gamblers are subsidizing your winnings

I missed out on earning multiples of the $25k that I “saved on my free rent” because of the bank bailouts. My shorts would have paid off so much more, I haven’t been bailed out I’ve lost money on the bank bailout.[/quote]Again, you don’t want to think of it as a bailout, but trust me, for anyone spending money every month on rent AND having to pay the taxes for this bailout, at least you’ve got a little something every month to do w/what you want to ease the pain. Still better than a renter. Who wouldn’t want to live in their place for free?[/quote]Sorry you are upset, but you flat out don’t know what you are talking about. I was not bailed out. I lost over $100K easy in profits on my July-Sept. 2008 oil shorts because of the bank bailouts and that money funneled back into the commodity futures market. You are crazy if you think the ~$25K I saved in rent makes up for the $100K to $150K I would have made if oil stayed in the 30’s/40’s or dropped even lower.
I can tell you are angry and looking for someone to blame but being irrational isn’t going to help you. The income taxes that I would have paid on my profits would have been more than the ~$25K I’ve saved in rent. Did you lose over $100K on investments because of the bank bailouts? I doubt it unless you were shorting the market. Your 401K was saved.
Get real, you were bailed out more than I was.
[quote=jpinpb][quote=BillS78]Hey I’m being priced out of the market just like any other potential able buyer because I don’t want to overpay. [/quote]
Again, every month you live for free deprives you of the right to complain.[/quote]Bullshit. I lost more than you did on investments(unless you were heavily shorting) because of the bank bailouts and I bet that I also pay more federal income tax than you.
The people that got screwed the worst in all this mess were the people shorting the markets. We made money but only a small fraction of what we would have made if there were no bailouts.
Guess it’s tough all over, quit your bitching.
