Ironic Quote of the Month
On CNBC’s main page:
“I’m convinced the markets are really out of control,” German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble told the FT. “That is why we need really effective regulation, in the sense of creating a properly functioning market mechanism.”
Tell me about it! The German government bans naked short-selling, and then the idiotic markets start tanking all over the place. Reminds me of the time the US government tried to rein in drug use, and then those chaotic gangsters started killing everybody. MAN freedom is so overrated.
When you enter government, do they perform an operation to remove your self-reflection gene?
If markets are so great Bob-o the how come they don’t work well when government f#$%s it all up. HAHA a hole poked at you favorable view of markets!!!
