"Liberal Commercial Talk Radio Disappears in NY, LA, SF in 2014"

Many of my friends and colleagues(even the lefties) are coming to the conclusion that every elected politician should be voted out.
Many I talk to are going to (like myself) vote against all incumbents regardless of party affiliation. I think I am becoming a
Libertarian Anarchist.

The definition of "anarchism " is very interesting --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism ------ self-governed voluntary institution -- but that several authors have defined as more specific institutions based on non-hierarchical free associations.

I do not think "government" wants that.

When the consumer pulls his thumb out of whatever region of the anatomy he chooses then it will change only.

Spu has a direct point on the utility factor as Silver and Gold unimportant, but oil is?

As Spu notes: Well, let's see: none of your electronics, your car, your airplane, your computer, your boat, your can opener, your watch, your refrigerator, your TV set, your vibrator or (must I go on?) anything else which uses any form of energy will work for long, very well or at all if there is no silver in it. If it happens that you get covered with 3rd degree burns, you'd better hope there's someone with some Silvadene ointment around or you are going to die a very painful, infected and drawn-out death. Silver-the utterly useless and unimportant metal, so useless that we burn 750 million ounces a year JUST on the categories mentioned above.

Gold, another equally useless metal: without gold sheet to protect the innards of satellites, you cannot make calls to most distant parts of the world, get your instant weather or a host of other things that rely exclusively for function on working satellites. If you have rheumatoid arthritis, you had better hope there's some gold around, or you are going to be virtually paralyzed, and in a LOT of pain. The RAM in your computer, the CPU in your computer, the serial cord connectors in your computer - in short, the most important electronic connections in your little universe will not work if they are not plated with gold. Aerospace, medicine, electronics, jewelry (just try proposing to a girl with a stainless steel ring) all require gold. Jewelry aside, there are still about 175,000 ounces of gold used every year making it possible for you to spout gibberish on your computer.

For such mages as yourself, I recommend shitcoin and maybe some school. Oh, and in case you missed the memo- we got over Carthage. You know what's funny? That wasn't the end for gold or silver either!

On the home page I just clicked on "Web Log" and got the error below. Then went back to the home page and got the error there, then back to web log and refresh and it worked. Things are not altogether well with the web server.


500: Internal server error

This error is generated when a script running on the server could not be implemented or permissions are incorrectly assigned for files or directories

Troubleshooting suggestions:

Temporarily disable any rewrite rules by renaming your .htaccess file if it exists.

Ensure that any CGI or Perl scripts have at least .755. permissions.

If trying to run PHP and you get this error, you may have an invalid php.ini in your /cgi-bin, or may be missing your php.dat file in this folder.

Ditto, repeatedly on various forums, eventually repeated refreshes bring up the correct page.

The "500: Internal Server Error" problem was fixed on Tuesday, but
then it came back within the next two days. Network Solutions/web.com
has "escalated" the problem a couple of times, which is their way of
stalling for a couple of days.

I can't tell what's going on, since Network Solutions "experts" (the
word that they use to describe themselves, and which I use ironically)
barely know how to spell computer. But there's a possibility that the
current problem is related to the fact that the Generational Dynamics
web site is still the target of a low-level DDOS attack that's been
going on without pause for years, originating from a network of server
bots in China.

This week the S&P 500 got to the 1840 level I was looking for last weekend, but there were no sellers once it got there, and the large number (around 100) of new 52 week lows that had been helping to create the 5 Hindenburg Omens from December 6 through 19 reduced to around 40 new lows. If a top was being put in on the market last week similar to July 2007 there should have been some late week selling, as there was on the July 19/20, 2007 comparison. Friday there were large buy orders in the futures mid day to late afternoon, perhaps from those coming to the conclusion that it wasn't going to happen yet. When I say large buy orders, large buy orders like I've never seen. Not that I see everything, but there was a bid in to buy 7200 lots of the e-mini S&P at one level and I can't recall an order that large just sitting there at mid day. Typically, on a slow day like Friday there might be 900 orders at any given level mid day. Since the market has blown through all the historical cycles, I don't post those anymore, but this is a shorter term one to consider:
Jan 19, 2010 (high) to Apr 26, 2010 (high) to May 6, 2010 (flash downcrash)
Sep 19, 2013 (high) to Dec 26, 2013 (no high) to Jan 6, 2014 (flash upcrash?)
The market has had approximately the same pattern through both of these time periods.
I think Bernanke is giving a speech next Friday and that might push the market up to a top, as typically the market is quite euphoric going into any event that involves Bernanke. Jan 6 is Monday, so maybe euphoria from the speech late Friday can carry over to Monday. I don't suppose (and doubt anyone else does) that he will want to go out as being the one who goes down in history as spoiling his own party.
