General question for posters on this thread - any analysts or traders here? Or just interested folks and day traders? I might start following the thread so curious what the different perspectives are.

Here's one person's take on who'll you find here.

K5 (the OP): Not a pro. A bear to the point of self-destruction. Uses many different handles to spew anti-Semitic bigotry.

agip: Does this for a living. Very knowledgeable and level headed. Probably the smartest one here.

Sally V: Troll.

Ghost of Igloi: A Wall Street professional. Very bearish. Spews the company line to churn sales. Some here believe he is one of K5's alter egos. Has been accused of making racist posts.

Joe Beets: Unknown background. One of several foils for GOI.

Maserati: Unknown background. Quite verbose. Not worth paying attention to.

ryan foreman: Unknown background. Obviously knowledgeable and offers thoughtful opinions.

coach d: Handles investments for his extended family. Knowledgeable and worth listening to.

There are others here, both trolls and those worth listening to. If you want my opinion on anyone in particular, please ask.

Earnings Scorecard: As of November 11 (with 91% of the companies in the S&P 500 reporting earnings for Q3 2016), 71% of S&P 500 companies have reported earnings above the mean estimate and 55%of S&P 500 companies have reported sales above the mean estimate.

The first two sentences describe me. The company is Bullish, as well as the majority of Wall Street. All of the other accusations come from you.

Earnie(ings) FactCheck:

GAAP EPS Beat remains under 40%.....

Ryan,

No cherry picking of information duration is a financial measurement and your investment is the most sensitive to interest rates up or down--period.

Interest rates can rise without inflation. Interest rates have been suppressed by Central Bank policy. The difference over the last six months has been the reaction of the markets to Central Bank policy; less so in my view.

As noted many times before, I would prefer that this thread stay on topic but I will respond to these baseless smears with some facts you guys apparently would rather remain ignorant of.

Let's look at two very powerful institutions. SCOTUS and the Fed.

SCOTUS: In the past 54 plus years beginning with the Kennedy administration, Dems have nominated 8 people to serve as Justices on the SCOTUS. One, T Marshall, was the first black person ever to be out on the Court and one, Sonia Sotomayor the first and only Hispanic. The other Six were all white Jews: Goldberg, Fortas, Gunsburg, Breyer, Kagan, and now M Garland.

The Fed. Let's look at the Chairs of the Fed since 1970. Arthur Burns (1970-78) [Burns was born in Stanisławów (now Ivano-Frankivsk), Austrian Poland (Galicia), a province of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in 1904 to Polish-Jewish parents], G. Wm. Miller (1978-79), Volcker (1979-1987), Greenspan (1987-2006), Bernanke, (2006-2014), Yellen (2014-present), and on deck, Deputy Director Stanley Fischer. So in the last 45 years we had a non-Jewish Chair for 13 mos (Miller) and then for 8 years (Volcker). And look at Volcker's resume from head of Goldman Sachs to Helping shake billions of dollars out of the Swiss for "Jewish Reparations". And Fischer, who will be the next Chair, is an actual Israeli and former head of their Central Bank.

Now is it anti-semitic to know these facts? Or is it okay to know them but not okay to speak about them out loud?

What is anti-Semitic is that you think it matters.

It doesn't?

Would you think it mattered if it were Muslims instead of Jews?

Jeffrey Goldberg said in October “what I would delicately call the donor class” of the party is disproportionately Jewish and rightwing on Israel, J.J. Goldberg said in April that 13 of the top 14 Democratic donors are Jewish, and sociologist Steven Cohen said on Sunday that Clinton’s top five donors are all Jewish

How about that. Does that matter?

The Department of Homeland Security will give $13 million dollars to add security to nonprofit organizations. If this year’s competition is like previous years, then over 90 percent of these grants will go to Jewish groups. Over the past decade, nearly all of the funds have gone to religious nonprofits with Jewish groups receiving the lion’s share, with over $110 million in grants.

Does this matter? Or is it anti-semitic to know this or to think it does matter?

It only matters to anti-Semites. You are only corroborating what the other poster wrote about you.

Really.

All these facts just don't matter?

Let me ask you again. Would these facts not matter if we substituted Muslims for Jews? If Muslims dominated SCOTUS, the FED, the Donor Class? Received over 90% of Homeland Security grants? Would you be crying Islamophobia if that were the case and it was pointed out?

Be honest now.

It doesn't matter as long as they're qualified. Which of the names that you mentioned is/was not qualified? Be honest now.

So your worldview is that the 98% of us who are not Jews do not have as nearly as many qualified people to be on SCOTUS and the Fed as do the 2% of the population that is Jewish? Somehow I think there may be another, less racist and more reasonable explanation for this.

And it may just be tied to the donors data I earlier posted.

To Everyone who is not K5:

JUST STOP RESPONDING TO HER.

she will take over the whole thread if we let her.

or keep responding to her if all you want to do is swim around in the swamp.

But I'd suggest not responding to anything she says about Jews so we can keep this thread on target.

And it's not like she will change her views on anything - she's just fishing around for newbies who will listen to anti-jewish screeds.

Thanks for the incredibly dishonest summary of what has taken place here.

As noted earlier, I wish to keep this thread that I began on topic. However, as stated many times before, when smeared with this anti-semite BS, which I was yet again, I will respond not with smears but with facts that some people may not want to see the light of day. There is nothing wrong with recognizing and documenting the power of the Jewish establishment yields in America today. There is something wrong with silencing people on that topic. Even as I type the Lobby has the knives out for Trump adviser Bannon, calling him -- you guessed it -- an anti semite. If Trump caves into these folks now we are all screwed.
