Rich ToscanoKeymaster[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=enron_by_the_sea]My favorite Hillary joke-
Q: Why does Hillary want to be president?
A: Because she wants to sleep in the president’s bed.[/quote]haha…
What is the punch line? Because she wants to wear the pants?
[/quote]Seriously? The punchline is that Bill never let her sleep in the bed.
[quote=FlyerInHi]I think that much of the dislike for Hillary is that she does wear the pants and lacks female sensibilities and emotions.[/quote]
I mostly just wanted to give you grief about your interpretation of that joke, but since I am replying… you’ve repeatedly made the accusation that if people find Hillary unlikable, it means they are sexist. That’s such a lame argument.
Personally, I greatly admire, like, and support like powerful, ambitious women. Anyone who knows me well IRL could vouch for this.
But HRC comes across (to me) as having an unpleasant personality. No big deal, but that’s the vibe I get. It’s got nothing to do with my attitude towards women in general, and I guess you don’t realize this, but it’s pretty insulting for you to accuse me of being sexist just because I’m not a fan of this particular person’s demeanor.
BTW – while I find HRC a bit unlikable, I find the (male) Republican front-runner to be a grotesque, loathsome monster. But somehow, in your view, I am biased against women!
Rich ToscanoKeymasterCase in point, I just looked at Zillow’s estimate of my house. According to Zillow, my house’s value has increased 29% in… wait for it… 3 months.
Either they were way off 3 months ago, or they are way off now (or both)… point is, this is not a meaningful number.
Again, speaking of individual houses. Maybe the area-wide estimates are good.
Rich ToscanoKeymasterGonna wait for the Feb data at this point, hopefully should have that soon.
As far as Zillow, my own experience is that their individual home-level estimates are meaningless. Can’t say about your neighborhood, but SD wide the trend still seems to be up.

I believe the perception among libs is: Only poor white trash is largely supporting Trump. For the most part these are people who get up early, hop in a F-150 work hard all day, and wash their hands before they eat dinner.You know, the people that libs have great disdain for….
Because libs blah blah blah
Libs blah blah blah[/quote]
Rule #1 (of very few) on this site… as you surely know by now:
Do not try to turn any discussion, even if already political in nature, into a left-vs-right slapfest. (reference)
I know you like to troll, paramount, but please do so within the confines of acceptable site behavior. You know, like calling us all child molesters, etc.
Rich ToscanoKeymasterPs in the meantime, check out GMO’s quarterly letters… doesn’t get any better than that, in my opinion.

Rich ToscanoKeymasterHi evolusd – Thanks, it’s good to know someone actually reads those, besides my mom.
(Just kidding. My mom does not read them).
We don’t really publish those on any schedule, just when we put something together that seems good for the public site. It’s more frequent for us to send emails; you or any pigg is welcome to sign up for our mailing list if that would be of interest… just shoot me an email or pm with your email address.

right. divergent opinions are automatically trollish.
[/quote]
Piggington is full of libs, leftist govt workers, marxists and socialists; so yes of course views to the contrary are often considered trollish.
Thankfully there exists a magical place called Temecula. Just far enough away from the ‘coastal’ leftists.[/quote]
This is actually a “NMBLA Board in disguise”. How can you left out this critical feature out when you talk about this board?

Seriously paramount, how could you leave out the forum’s most influential membership?
(On an administrative note, paramount is also a troll, but I leave him be because he’s been around forever, and also he’s unintentionally hilarious).
Rich ToscanoKeymaster[quote=yuhtey][quote=bearishgurl] yuhtey’s recent thread as well as this one are trollish, dumbrenter. [/quote]
right. divergent opinions are automatically trollish.
and a concern over the safety of children is bigoted.
what the fuck is wrong with you?[/quote]
Yes, that’s exactly what a troll would say.
yuhtey, having read through this and your other thread, you are an obvious troll. On the positive side, you are pretty funny. I’m positively inclined (to a fault) to people with a sense of humor… but even adjusting for that, one can only get away with so much douchebaggery.
Just a little something to think about if you wish to remain a member of the forum. Also maybe give this a skim: http://piggington.com/threadjackers_will_be_persecuted_maybe_even_prosecuted

Next time go with the porno ‘stache’, or the Fu Man Chu.[/quote]
Ha! 😉
That picture is literally a decade old. I have no facial hair any more, porn or otherwise. I also look a good bit more… shall we say… grizzled? (Though leaner now… I was a bit of a porkchop back in the day).

[quote=zk][quote=Jazzman]Crap, bollocks, rubbish and nonsense. What a load of old cods wallop. You really think Asians prefer CA. You are so full of shit is embarrassing. What an idiot. GO FVCK YOURSELF!!!!![/quote]
[quote=Jazzman]Rich. get me out of here. Please delete my account. Too many assholes. I would do it myself but can’t see how to.[/quote]
That’s kinda funny. Here’s how I read that.
First, he makes a very assholish post.
Then he says,
“There’s too many assholes here. Delete my account.”
It looks like he’s just trying to help out by reducing the number of assholes here by one. “There’s too many assholes here. Get rid of one. Delete my account.” You’re a giver, Jazzman![/quote]
Actually, I read Jazzman’s “crap, bollocks” post as being satirical of flu’s first reply to this post. In Jazzman’s defense I found flu’s reply to be bizarrely angry and abusive considering the actual (completely inoffensive) content of Jazzman’s OP. Clearly, flu read something into the post that I did not — and, from Jazzman’s reply, that Jazzman did not mean.
All that said, Jazzman, I am not going to delete your account. First, all prior content you wrote will no longer have your handle on it, which will make old posts confusing. Second, it makes no sense — if you don’t want to come here, then don’t come here. Why do I have to go the trouble of deleting your account?
More generally, I agree there are too many assholes here, as there are too many assholes everywhere. But for the record, I don’t count either flu or Jazzman among them!
Rich ToscanoKeymasterReally, baby Hitler jokes notwithstanding, I don’t have an answer. My assertion is that Fed policy artificially boosts asset prices, that the asset vales eventually return to normal, causing an economically disruptive asset bust.
So, “what would you do right now” is not a valid counterpoint… they’ve already gone ahead and artificially boosted the asset prices. They’ve painted themselves into the corner already. I don’t pretend to know how they should get out of the corner… but that doesn’t make it invalid to point out the pattern of self-corner-painting that appears to be going on.
IE what I’d do is not paint myself into the corner in the first place, but it’s too late for that, so I don’t know.
Rich ToscanoKeymaster[quote=harvey]Any the many Fed critics here want to suggest what the Fed should be doing now?
[/quote]1. Attain time machine
2. Kill Baby Hitler
3. Start slowly normalizing policy once the crisis had past (2010-11 range)As for the rest, I mostly agree… I am so tired of hearing about the Fed and whether they will raise a fraction of a percent in this month or that. It’s just obsessing about something that doesn’t matter much, and removing people’s focus from what does matter.
But I am also tired of the Bernanke hero worship, which I find to be premature at best.
And while I agree that the Fed’s importance in some things is overstated by many, I do think they have played a role, and maybe a big one, in the patterns of huge asset booms and busts that have become so prominent in the past 20 years.
Rich ToscanoKeymasterYes! For sure. Sorry for the delay… coming soon.
Rich ToscanoKeymasterYeah, you are right, lots of traders are thinking about it, I suppose you are just saying what some people are thinking.
My view is that people tend to dramatically overestimated the investment implications of geopolitical events… but I guess that’s a different topic.
