I have a brick I bought at gander mountain a while back with a price tag of $10.99. Should’ve bought a hundred bricks.

I sure hope this is an April Fool joke also..but I just checked the price I paid last year for FedGM and it could happen.

This isn’t just bad, it’s very bad. We will now be subjected to speculation as a driving force for components in addition to the irrational (hopefully) fear driven forces already in play. It should be observed that the current hysteria doesn’t even have one word of legislation introduced so far to drive it. It just exists on the fear of possible legislation. If legislation is introduced there will be no product available for consumers to scramble over.

Great. Since no one is trading oil futures or credit default swaps on the exchanges, they need to look for more transactions by creating an artificial trading market. Next, we will have the out-of-work AIG traders and Madoff clones funding their hedge funds with primer futures. They will create such a demand for primer futures; primers will cost $150 a thousand. Remember when oil was $145 a barrel. The same can happen again. Primer manufactures take note, stay away, or you too will be bankrupt and needing a federal bail out.

Any chance this is just a well-crafted April Fool joke?

I certainly hope so or we’re in deeper doodoo than I thought before reading this this morning…

This is great news, I have 100,000 Fed primers to float on the NYMEX. I guess I won’t be needing any bailout money for the rest of this year.
