Down goes the Dow

“This is an age of massive artificial economic imbalances and systemic risks.

Repress change, and you repress all that it means. Repressing it is sheer hubris and, in Dylan’s words, “beyond your command.” You can only defer it, not stop it. (Juxtapose this view with outgoing U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen’s ambitious claim that there will not be another financial crisis “in our lifetimes.”) When we try enforcing stability by decree, a reckoning always follows. An unsustainable boom leads headlong to an inevitable bust. A hard rain falls.

Rather than fear it, we should “tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it.” This is Dylan’s resolve. Something really big is coming. Let the central bankers try to keep standing in its way, but as investors we need to recognize and accept its logical consequence of a return to the meaning of volatility. Change and volatility are good. “There is nothing perpetual but change”—according to Mises, who surely must have loved Dylan just as much as I do.”

I know exactly how much you have by how you talk. Furthermore i know of what it consists, and how you got it and how you expect to keep getting it and hold onto it.

Although you are the hero of your own life and probably think you are some kind of original, you couldn’t be farther from the truth.

I don’t hate you; I would however be dissatisfied with any situation in which your misplaced bravado ran unchecked.

I write this for others btw, not for you.

Now YOUR starting to sound like Igy (making unfounded assumptions about others).

I don’t have the time to explain it, but it’s not at all unfounded. He has revealed much in the history of this thread. He has in fact made it obvious. There are many stations in life, those outside his can easily see it for what it is.

He bears all the scars unabashedly...and unknowingly.

If anyone had any doubts, Fake Igy channeling Dylan should convince you that he is trolling.

6/10 (and falling)

You've got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend

When I was down you just stood there grinnin'

You've got a lotta nerve to say you got a helping hand to lend

You just want to be on the side that's winnin'…

Gotta admit there’s some truth to that. A lot of us have laughed at you, Fake Igy, but you’re only down due to your own ignorance and stubbornness. Then again, being a troll, you’ve probably made it all up.

0/5.5

I met one man who was wounded in love

I met another man who was wounded with hatred

And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard

It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

I don’t believe in Zimmerman

Let me ask you one question

Is your money that good

Will it buy you forgiveness

Do you think that it could

I think you will find

When your death takes its toll

All the money you made

Will never buy back your soul

You say you’re lookin’ for someone

Never weak but always strong

To protect you an’ defend you

Whether you are right or wrong

Someone to open each and every door

But it ain’t me, babe

No, no, no, it ain’t me, babe

It ain’t me you’re lookin’ for, babe

"Idiot wind

Blowing every time you move your mouth

Blowing down the back roads headin' south

Idiot wind

Blowing every time you move your teeth

You're an idiot, babe

It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe"

Bob Dylan, "Idiot Wind"

Dr. Filth, he keeps his world inside of a leather cup

But all his sexless patients, they're trying to blow it up

Now his nurse, some local loser, she's in charge of the cyanide hole

And she also keeps the cards that read, "Have Mercy on His Soul"

They all play on the penny whistles, you can hear them blow

If you lean your head out far enough from Desolation Row
