Depression. Rail's never recovered from a 20% drop in 2008. Coal, Ore shipments, Construction materials.
Coal, Ore shipments, Construction materials. So you see the same negative data I'm seeing. Yes?
Being a Democratic shill means you check your humanity at the door.
James has been bearish since 1952.
I'll need sources for that. LMFAO But you're SOOO negative! Always pessimistic! But Optimism is the opposite of reality. ;} "And needless to say, it has not operated to the community’s benefit, but to our harrowing detriment as the corporate assault has ravaged our communities, our economy, our social stability, our happiness and peace of mind, our freedom and humanity. These are all the charred corpses strewn about on the scorched earth of corporatism. That’s where the real manifestation of what Madison called the “will independent…of society itself” has gotten us. And what about this community fragmentation, which Madison himself calls his desired policy? Why would atomizing the citizenry be so important if the people truly agreed on social and economic basics? Because in everything he and Hamilton and the other federalists write, they’re anxious to obfuscate the facts of class war and set up a system where the rich can dominate." Ever since I realized that TPTB weren't interested in what's best for the Small People and that Energy Growth Forever violated the Second Law of Thermodynamics. So that Oil has dominated EVERYTHING for the last 120 years. Every war. Every SocioPolitical Inflection. Every bit of Human Pop Growth. So the lack of same will take that "Growth" away. A ten year off set. So that Oil EROEI Peaked May 2005, 100% guarantee that Human Pop will Stabilize by 2015. That's 70 million off the roles every year. Just for Stability. Which one can backdate to 20 million gone from the planet in 2 years. Minimum. And to be a Doomer is the Most Optimistic scenario. Then we can live in a Steady State. The Planet can Flourish.
So you see the same negative data I'm seeing. Yes? Of Course. ;}
It was a calculated guess!!! {;^D
{;^D SWAG more like it. But I do that ALL the Time. Laughing. Classic Railroad. Good as they come. Classic Topping Low Vol Pattern. CNI. Dropping into the low 30's within months. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=CNI+Basic+Chart&t=2y
