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. [/quote]

Let me see if I understand. Besides investing in a house during the bubble, you made another investment in shorts and b/c that decision didn’t make you money then living for free is not considered a bailout. And I’m irrational.

[quote=BillS78]Did you lose over $100K on investments because of the bank bailouts? [/quote]

That was another business decision you made. No one forced you to do it.

[quote=BillS78]
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. [/quote]

Again, just b/c you chose to invest in shorting doesn’t ever guarantee you are entitled to a return on your investment. In the interim, you are still nevertheless living for free.

Nothing wrong with jp’s math or reasoning. The example makes it plain. People who make it sound interconnectedly intergalactically incomprehensibly complicated don’t understand it themselves.

I’ve completely stayed out of this because i guess that I am a different breed. If I did what Bill did, I would consider myself a slimy deadbeat freeloader. I would not be able to sleep at night nor could I live with myself. However that is me looking at me through the lense I view myself through.

When I look at Bill’s actions, I say…..whatever. I’m not here to judge the morality of his actions and I dont compare or judge myself relative to him or anyone else. If what he does is legal and he can live it with it thats fine by me. I wouldnt hang out or respect someone like him but I wouldnt condemn him either.

I guess more than anything it makes scaredy wrong that we all compare oursleves to others and judge ourselves that way. At least one of us doesnt and as much as I like think I’m one of kind there must be others like me?????

Party on Bill…..
