The ratio.

Unread postby Rogozhin » Sat 29 Nov 2008, 03:01:32

What is the ratio of demand destruction (globally) to market manipulation (globally).

We do know that our economies are failing (demand destruction), but we aren't able to parse through the opacity of the (false) market.

What's you best guess?

We're all arm-chair jerkoffs, so give me you best ejaculation.

Given that for about the last week the market has been kept floating at around the 8200 mark, the ratio of manipulation to demand destruction should be about 1:1. Money is being created at around an equal speed to the failures. Sooner rather than later here, the prinitng press and the funny money won't be able to keep up, its going asymptotic to the zero point. In all reality, the market should be at Zero now. Liabilities exceed assets by about 5B people. Just we haven't got the paperwork all done yet.
