Open thread for The Thinker to tell us what's on his mind


You all have been listening to me rant and rave like a looney for coming up on a year. But one thing I've noticed in the threads is no matter how out of control it's getting, one poster, The Thinker, comes out with a gem of wisdom that hits the reset button.

So, for the first time, a thread for The Thinker. Grace us with your thoughts. Where is this all heading?

Everyone - shhhhh until The Thinker kicks it off... Shhhh....

I think you're creativity is gone, and you're beginning to sound like a boring broken record.

I agree the bubble is breaking, but can't you come up with some better shit than you've been posting?

apparantly not....it's called kicking a dead horse....perhaps something more relevant like Israel would be in order

The Drinker (Keith) exalts the Thinker....

Keith should do less drinking and more thinking. At least when he's posting.

Keef, you don't really have to maintain the frequency of posts. it's better to have quality.

The Thinker looks like he's trying to take a dump. Maybe the thinker is really a stinker. Really, though, he/she/it probably likes to throw in he/she/its two cents on an established subject. (like the housing bubble?) Maybe he/she/it is shy. Why don't we all ask the thinker a question? I will ask my question first. Question to the thinker: Do you think that Fannie Mae &/or Freddie Mac will go belly up in the near future?

It was a nice try Keith, And I understand your posture. And I also have the utmost respect for the Thinker. But let us not forget one thing that is of the utmost importance. (IMHO}
This is a discussion group. We sow the seeds of thought and if those seeds land on fertile ground, then they may very well grow. Perhaps grow very productively; to the benefit of all. All grounds need preparation and you should never force production. No one can predict if the rain will fall or if the sun will shine. A bountiful garden depends on much more than we as individuals can provide. Our strength lies in our diversity. Some provide the seed. Some provide the sunshine. Some bring forth the water. As we have all seen, there's more than enough of us to provide the bullshit. Let us not forget that it takes many parts to make a whole.
This is a team effort, hence the strength in our diversity. You learn, I learn. We all benefit. Any other way goes against our mindset.

I don't generally go for guys, but I think Ann Coulter is the best looking transvestite I've ever seen.

Keith,
I knew when you first posted this, it was going to go wrong!
You should only single out trolls and realtors.

Why is the focus here solely on the Real Estate Bubble? The Dow, Nasdaq & S&P are way down over the past few weeks.

There is a much more fundamental issue with the economy that is very troublesome:

1. Huge Government Deficits (both trade & debt).
2. Gold continues to rise with peroidic pull backs but rise nonetheles.
3. Oil continues to rocket up. It's not middle east trouble it's China buying it all.
4. Inflationary pressures on all products across the board.
5. 70% of the economy is based on consumer consumption but average person has 10k in credit card debt and can't handle any more.
6. Over the next 10 years, 78 million boomers will retire this will cause a lot of problems like:
a. because they are retiring, 78 million people won't be making 401k contribution thus lowering the stock markets
b. because they are retiring, 78 million people will rely on Social security, Medicaid, Medicare for health & financial assistance
c. I would suspect many of the 78 million people will downsize their homes - MORE real estate trouble?
d. because they are retired, 78 million people will pull money out of the stock market to live. Those that are smart will pull out their money and put it in CDs.
