Maybe you have meant Marc Faber? But I don't think he is a clown, just made a mistake.

Hah! Bernanke is a clown! Nice, I've waited for that phrase for ages!

Andrew – Keep up the excellent work. I personally don't want you or your guests to tell me what you think I want to hear, but instead tell me what I need to know. After being misled and/or lied to for the past year by the likes of Paulson, Bernanke, B. Frank, etc. the truth while sometimes unpleasant should be a refreshing reality for people.

Chris – A. & his guests have been providing options to consider such as forgetting about buy and hold, getting more educated as a trader, learning about ETFs, money management, looking to buy on oversold conditions and selling on overbought ones. Another thing is don't feel like you have to be in the market.

He's got an accent you can trust and gave an endorsement of Ron Paul. I like this guy.

Agreed that I also want to know what a do nothing plan looks like – though we saw that in the 30's… Right?

Agreed. Will step back when I see the fundamentals change and when I see solid evidence. Just wanting to feel better is not enough , no matter how much we want it to be.

Sorry...

Andrew I appreciate your insight and voices like yours have helped me do pretty well in my investments the last couple of years. But I think it's time to step back from the abyss fo a while. I agree that we are going through a depression-like process structurally but there's also a lot of pent up vitality in the economy and the people, we're not a bunch of washed up losers regardless of what the govt does.

I enjoyed your podcast conversation with Dr. Doom. Regarding the propriety of Obama's stimuli and bail out policies, all of the many guests who dismiss it all need to do one of two things: either explain the full ramifications of doing nothing, or suggest an alternative policy. The congressional Republican alternative- more tax cuts- is a dead horse. After decades of tax cuts, their stimulative effect has been neutered. In the current climate of fear, both businesses and individuals will hoard their tax cuts. Relatively speaking, Summers and Geithner are sublime prophets compared to McCain and his sidekicks. So what do we do, as for national economic policy? I'm all for skepticism and criticism, but it seems to me that doing something about the economy just might be more appropriate than doing nothing at all. Any ideas, Andrew? Thanks!

Understood Andrew, and the podcast does inform. I have no problem taking emotion out of investment decisions, but obviously this financial collapse impacts more than just investments (notice the state that I live in!).

As for your bull suggestion, I'm not sure I'd believe someone that was overly bullish, but perhaps someone that says things could go either way :-).

The podcasts are designed to inform. First and last rule: Put emotions aside.

I will bring on a BULL , lets see what they have to say. Good Idea?

Honestly, I may have to take a break from some of these episodes because they are so depressing (but obviously reality). Just a slight suggestion, but with all the guests lately, it seems as if much of the interview time is spent rehashing the crappy state of our economy and not as much (as I personally would like) on how to profit in these times beyond quick questions if people like gold or China. Don't get me wrong, this is the first podcast I listen to every week, and obviously you can't tell us all of your ideas, as that would defeat the purpose of your managed fund, but I'd love to hear more on HOW to find some of the investment/trading ideas that you come across during your fund management work. Perhaps I have unreasonable expectations :).
