Take That, Pimco! Goldman’s O’Neill Dismisses U.S. Debt Woes
http://blogs.barrons.com/stockstowat...d=yahoobarrons

By Tiernan RayGoldman Sachs (GS) chief economist Jim O’Neill this afternoon tells Dow Jones Newswires’s Min Zeng that concerns about U.S. and U.K. sovereign debt ratings are “overdone.”

Growth in the U.S. and U.K. may actually surprise expectations this year, which would help boost the dollar. Japan’s the real one to worry about, he says.

Some money managers have been talking about getting out of U.S. Treasuries, in part because of the risk of downgrades of sovereign credit ratings, including Pimco managers, as I noted earlier today.

“The risk of [a] double dip [recession] in the economy this year has declined significantly,” O’Neill told Zeng.

“The bigger risk is the economy is stronger than we and others think and therefore the Fed may have to change its mind.”

O’Neill’s bullish on the dollar: “My experience tells me that sometime over the next two years or longer the dollar would go to $1.20 against the Euro,” he tells Zeng.

The dollar strengthened against the Euro this afternoon, falling to $1.4368.

Mega, you still haven't said anything regarding Bill Gross and Pimco and how the only reason they can breathe easy is they were bailed out of their poor position of heavy MBS exposure by the government. Perhaps if you actually had to defend your arguments and posts you'd get smarter in what you post. If you continue ignoring it, it cements that you're a troll. Trolls after all ignore facts that undercut their arguments. So you're either a troll, you can defend what you post, or you can be a man and admit you're dead wrong.

24 hours later, he still has not even attempted a defense of his point of view. I think one reason for internet forums is the culture of debate on the issues of the day. And so far he has simply refused to debate or even acknowledged the request, he just sticks his statement out there and then runs and hides and offers no personal reflection or analysis other than the thread title saying "look at me b*tches, I'm right". What makes that any different than any paid off mainstream hack that trots out tired arguments that don't stand the test of peer review but refuse to acknowledge they're wrong? Using a slime like Bill Gross to support his theories on the fall of Anglo-Saxon capitalism when one of the reasons for the problems in Anglo-Saxon capitalism currently is Bill Gross. It shows a complete lack of character, knowledge, intelligence on the issues, or a combination of all three on his part.

rj1, given your reaction to Mega's postings and as some other members suggested to you yesterday, I think that adding Mega to your ignore list is warranted.

I am convinced that your experience on iTulip (as well as the experience of other members) will be enhanced as a result.

It is what he does. You should move on. Someone once said we get mad for two reasons.

1) Someone has told us no.
2) Someone has taken something we feel belongs to us.

Off topic here, but how do I put someone on my Ignore list? I've searched the forum but haven't found the answer.

I come here with an open mind to learn. I don't mind fiery discussions of issues, but some of the posts I've been reading lately, particulary in response to Mega (who I appreciate), are so hostile and vitriolic that after a few minutes my stomach starts to get tied in knots. I don't like this.

Near the top of any screen while viewing forum messages,

• click on "Quick Links",
• on that pulldown menu, click on "User Control Panel"
• when that User Control Panel page comes up, click on "Edit Ignore List" (under "Settings & Options", left side)

Here's a couple of snippets of screen shots, showing the key items to click on mentioned above.





P.S. -- I didn't see the " Never mind, I figured it out." until after posting the above. Oh well. Perhaps someone else will find this useful.

Thanks to Pythonic - now these are some of the more positive benefits of a forum
