It’s early morning and the bar is about to close, but until it does, all the booze you need to wipe away your pain will continue to flow. There’s no need to worry, Ben “the bartender” Bernanke will hook you up.

Ron Paul vs. Ben Bernanke

Sucker Rally

January 24, 2008 Business, Economic Collapse | 1 Comment

I watched Mad Money with Jim Cramer yesterday and was shocked to see how bullish he appears to be, all of a sudden. In the morning he released a video online saying the Fed is stupid, behind the curve and should be investigated.
