  1. joe….that’s exactly what I’m saying. But you can’t just throw out the whole “Japan comaparison” and expect anyone to respond to it when you don’t actually state why it will be similar and why it won’t.

    The broad sweeping generalizations are not really a grounds for discussion. If you’d like to outline the responses from the Japanese government and the current responses from the US you’re welcome to do so to start a discussion

    It’s preet assinine to say it’ll be like japan, just because I say it will.

  2. dibs — I’m just throwing something out that could lead to a more meaningful discussion. I don’t see a lot of people really supporting their strong opinions here.

    there aren’t that many examples of bursting bubbles, so you have to take the history that’s available, tulips included. so make a case…it sounds like you would say our government is moving faster than japan’s did, so our recovery would be faster. you want to try for something constructive?

  3. I always look forward to your input, cornerbodega. It always reinforces my belief in the bell curve since I don’t really run into a lot of people out on the left tail.

    I’m sure this has confused you to the point of a headache.

  4. “maybe look at japan’s politics, BOJ minutes, consumption tax and “TARP-like” responses, joe and make a useful comparison.

    Your statement is about as useful as saying the dot com bubble was similar to the tulip bulb bubble.” ~dibs

    More words of wisdom from a bubble ghetto speculator. Dibs, you should change your name as it screams “I thought I was smart, but instead I’m just an idiot”…
