BTW, the only time I ever seriously entered somebody's sports prediction contest on here, I won. I do much better with sports generally than picking stocks. My system worked:

But, back to picking on the Jewish lobby that runs the show in America and your gut feeling about the stock market...

Gold has fallen 27% this year.
Since Jan 1, 2013, have you lost:
Money?
Value?
Nothing?
I usually stay away from these theoretical discussions because they are completely useless, but gold is an oddball since many people consider it to be 'money' not a 'store of value'
OK, I imagine that you are kidding. My impression has always been that you are intelligent. And no intelligent person could possibly think that one does not gain/lose money until the asset is sold.
thanks for the (lrc-style) compliment.
well I was trolling a bit to see if any goldbugs would bite. Some people think gold is money so it was a twist on the ongoing lrc argument on realized/unrealized losses.
(but I am in the camp that if any asset you own goes down in value, then you have lost whether or not you have sold. )

Not only do you not know who I am or anything about the sports/econometric modeling I actually might have done myself as part of my graduate studie, but you cannot even muster a decent response to the thrust of my argument. You are a light-weight.
However, in keeping with the tone of the "How long have you been on Letsrun?" thread, I have been here for about a decade, and it's time I depart because of all of the intellectually and morally bankrupt 20-somethings and "progressives" on here, or change my moniker, because, not only am I getting bored with the same ole, same ole, but, despite my math/economics graduate studies, I don't get paid to consult with the Mavericks.
Perhaps I should change my name to Homicide Bomber?
You are responding to a Fake K5. Maybe Agip? He has consistently shown his immaturity and lack of honor

I hope you are right but the battle is far from over.
I suspect they will now use their media to scream that the Iranians are breaking the six month interim agreement. You wait and see.
I have been watching these folks for about 7 and one half years now and their aggression and ability to remain above the legal system and to shutdown any criticism of themselves and Israel in the mainstream media is amazing.
That wasn't me.
False.
K5, why the aliases?

Great thread K5. While we're at it, why don't we talk about the mass persecution of Christians by Israelis and Palestineans alike? The are fleeing the region in droves. Even the liberally-oriented National Geographic did a great piece on this. I spoke to an Arab-Christian cab driver who had defected here because of this plight, and he was firm in his opinion that neither "side" truly wants peace. If they did, they could have it tomorrow, and the real "apartheid" is being committed against Christians. And here I thought all along that he was the Christian lobby driving the American agenda in our foreign policy, in our schools, in the public arena. Silly me.
Will the real K5, please stand up, please stand up? Very similar to that Gallagher, UncleB fellow and his perverse obsession.

Did the elite Jewish lobby persuade Obama to send billions in aid and fighter jets to the Egyptian army, while not sufficiently protecting the American consulate in that country, as in Benghazi, despite huge red flags? Did the elite Jewish lobby convince Obama to take our troops back into Afghanistan and prop up a corrupt government, with no chance of "winning that war?" Is the elite Jewish lobby convincing this administraton to keep giving bribe money to Pakistan? Did the Zionist lobby tell the Obama administration to stand down during the Iranian revolt in 2009, when we missed our best opportunity to come alongside those favoring true Democracy and, instead, stood idly by while atrocities were committed against the defectors, particularly women? Did the elite Jewish lobby cut off Obama's balls when he saber-rattled against Syria's use of chemical weapons, only to do nothing and pretend like he had planned to go through Diplomatic channels all along, using Congress as his cover? Did the elite-Jewish lobby convince the US and the UN to merely kick the can on Iran, easing sanctions in exchange for a "promise that it won't cross the red line when it comes to developing nukes?" Was Netanyahu's ire simply faked?
K5 = Uncle B

I took you for an intelligent dude. Thanks for proving me right.
I touch myself sometimes.

Damn. All these wars in the Middle East and Muslim nations are because of a Christian Lobby.
How could I not know this and instead think AIPAC, JINSA, WZC, Emergency Committee for Israel, the ADL, the Israel Institute, American Jewish Committee, Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Orgs, ZOA, CAMERA, and so many more had something to do with it

RW is not drugged up. And he just might know a little bit more about the music industry than you.

Oh, he's drugged up alright...not to mention his other "issues". Why do think he's not in PF anymore?

Same reason Professor Griff is not in PE anymore.
By not going along with the Israel Apartheid plan, they ran afoul of the Jews who run the biz.
I didn't know Rick Rubin had so much influence
