And it just proves the point that no matter what I reveal about myself, you'll try to use it to undermine anything I say anyway. The only tip I've given any of you is that gold is overvalued at this point. If it keeps going up at this point, it's too high to be worth buying any more because it's going to come back down. Why you think that means I don't hold any gold at the moment underscores my point above yet again.


is that basically the same as saying the dollar is going to go up, since gold/dollar act inversely? If that is the case, why do you think the dollar will go up? The Tea Party Death Squad?

You know, one of the most successful hedge fund managers in the world is a neurologist.


I didn't know that. Interesting.

I suppose we're done now. Talk to you later.


Yeah, believe it or not it's possible to study more than one thing.

Capitalism! Quick! HIDEEEEEEEEEE! Someone is promoting a product! Oopsie! They might actually sell more products because of this, resulting in increased shifts at the manufacturing plant and increased orders for part from other states around the country and sales taxes all the way around baby!

Greek has displayed pages and pages of econ posts, not even getting into right or wrong.

I have maybe seen one post from Dave in an attempt to get all economic on someones azz.

Greek is the winner on volume/participation alone

By that logic, the village idiot is the smartest person in town, because he's always running his mouth.

Oh wait, my bad, didn't mean to give any credibility to Glenn Beck like that.

I think he's more qualified to talk about the names of schools of economics than I am. And apparently you didn't read the last three pages of this thread since we didn't actually discuss economics in any way, shape, or form.

I don't know if I'm more qualified than pimpdave. I've certainly posted more on the subject than pimpdave. I'm also readily willing to admit I don't know something. As I stated in this thread, I didn't know that the economic theory I believe in was from Chicago; I didn't know that clever people referred to Atlas Shrugged as Chicago Economics pornography; I didn't know that a neurologist was a successful hedge fund manager. There are a lot of things I don't know; there are a lot of things about economics I don't know.

In any event, volume and participation does not make one an expert.

'Expert' actually also had a verb form (hundreds of years ago), in addition to noun and adjective forms. The verb's definition was: 'To experience; to know by experience'---coming from Latin experīrī 'to try/experience.'

Not relevant to discussion at hand really, but I've always been interested in words, word origins, and how words change over time.

But maybe this is something else you didn't know, TGD! :D I'll add to your knowledge if you didn't already.
