Thread in which the world laughs at America

So you're predicting the economic data from the first three quarters of next year. This has nothing to do with predicting markets though!

You're right. It doesn't.

Poor Ben Bernank.

According to the Sumner, the Mankiw is attempting to get named to the fed board and thus influence the Ben Bernank from the inside.

You are an idiot who understands neither Keynes' insights nor Friedman's.

I for one welcome our new supreme overlord, China.

[Aeson]

You're right. It doesn't.

You think the future movement of markets won't have anything to do with the economic data in the future.

[Tupac Shakur]

Sigh...

It's time to man up Tupac. This isn't one of those battles you can just fake your death to run away from
