    Dr. Doom,

    worked his way through the gloom

    of the boiler room,

    where he played


    ...and sent the economy to the emergency room

    while he went to heaven, wearing

    @Aaron Altman: And so, in the late oughts, JPEG poetry was born. Initially an amusing form of expression used in blog comments, the Clip Art School of poetry brought it into mainstream literature during the 2020s.

    Fools! There is but one Doom, and these impostors shall pay for their impudence. Know this—that for all the plaudits and scraps of paper you toss at them so frivolously, these wretches are mere apes, whose intellects are as that of a gnat's compared with the towering genius that is DOOM!

    @fiveinchtaint: I used to watch "Good Day New York" before they got rid of all the people I liked on it, and that moron was their financial guy. Literally every single day he'd be on telling everyone how great the stock market was going to do that day (as if anyone can predict that), in between his parroting of Republican talking points ("we need less regulation!").


    Somehow I was not surprised to see him picking WaMu and Bear Stearns here.

    I think Roubini and Denton should get to share the title, since they are two sides of the same doudoom. And also because I never want their love/hate affair to end, and this guarantees they will forever try to outdoom each other.

    Schiff's funds, I believe, have been slaughtered by more than 50% because of egregiously long bets on commodities and emerging markets.


    He's been right about the credit markets, but so were a lot of people.


    Chickety-check this chart of the EuroPacific growth fund: [finance.yahoo.com]


    Euro Pacific is Schiff's company.

    The emergings will continue to kill him, but he'll be right about commodities buy the end of next year. If he avoids redemptions long enough to fund those best!


    Also, Hamilton, Marc Faber is actually most famous for this.

    He's been doing the "Gloom, Boom, and Doom" report for some time now.

    In order to "earn the nickname" Dr. Doom, you must have fanciful private habits, or incongruously hedonistic tastes in vulva wall art. I think we know who the rightful owner of the Excalibur of Doom is in this instance.

    and while we're at it, it might be charitable to mention that this sage, thoughtful gentleman was/is Ron Paul's economic advisor. I hope that doesn't undermine the kneejerk undermining.
