The guy is really sick in the head.<br /><br />And I quote:<br /><br />"In a few short weeks the 3Q GDP preliminary report will come out. I will judge whether others also are outraged sufficiently to do something peaceful and lawful about these abuses or not by those results."<br /><br />Really, you think that is the measure of pissed off?

Had you...Karl is the Cassandra of the stock market. Had you put your money where his mouth was, and shorted Apple as hard as he suggested, you'd have gone bankrupt from the margin squeeze just weeks before Apple's share prices tanked. Perhaps Karl managed to time this just right using options, but I believe that it was another case of Karl suggesting but not doing.<br /><br />When he banned me for suggesting a more healthy way to get over his Steve Jobs obsession(*), I got a comment over on my blog that there's an entire forum dedicated to using Karl as a negative predictor for individual stocks (i.e. if Karl shorts, you buy, etc.). They were beating the market rather effectively at the time.<br /><br />I understand being a negative indicator (any time I move a 401k into the money market, mortgage your kids to buy the S&P). I know it and tell anyone who listens to me that I am crap on knowing what the market will really do.<br /><br />Every once in a blue moon, he says something reasonable, and Vox quotes him. Otherwise, I am much better off mentally for not reading his site regularly.<br /><br />(*) I will admit that my suggestion was incredibly disrespectful and bordered on vulgar. I apologized to him for going over the top with it, but not for the underlying sentiment. I still think he banned me more because I wouldn't let up asking him "OK, so Apple's bad, because they won't be making money hand over fist in 5 years. Which other computer company IS making money at all?" He never could answer that question.Kentucky Packrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444480982718107017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768209.post-84260174585100333902013-09-11T05:30:13.009-07:002013-09-11T05:30:13.009-07:00He wields the banhammer on his site with a Scalzi ...He wields the banhammer on his site with a Scalzi like frequencyJoshnoreply@blogger.com
