... she listens to Alex Jones religiously.  She claims the stock market has dropped 1000 points in the last 5 minutes... anyone know anything about this?

QuoteThe Dow plunged Thursday amid buzz in the market that European banks have halted lending.

One trader, on the condition of anonymity, said he heard fixed income desks in Europe shut down early because there was no liquidity — basically European banks are halting lending right now.

"This is similar to what took place pre-Lehman Brothers," the trader said.

The Dow was down more than 900 points at one point, or more than 8 percent, before pulling back to the 600-700 point range.

Look, asshole:  Your 'incomprehensible' act, your word-salad, your pinealism...It BORES ME.  I've been incomprehensible for so long, I TEACH IT TO MBA CANDIDATES.  So if you simply MUST talk about your pineal gland or happy children dancing in the wildflowers, go talk to Roger, because he digs that kind of shit

They are now blaming most of it on some weird discrepancies with Proctor & Gamble's stock between 2 and 3 PM. I've seen some conspiracy theories but nothing solid yet. It looks like one of those weird ass glitches in the programmed trading that got out of control but no one knows what caused it yet.  Damn, I wish Cain was still around to comment on things like this.

I heard on the news that some trader was trying to sell a million shares of P&G, but put in an order for 1,000,000,000.

How shall I fuck with her?

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

Make up a plausible conspiracy.  Feed it to her, then add a twist, like proving Glen Beck or Sean Hannity are actually covert liberals.

Oh, that's a good one.  Cruel, but good.


You'll need itching powder, some fine threads.  Strategic and judicial placement of both could result in complete batshittery.
