As we try desperately to fire up the Irony Generator here at fuBarrio Studios, I’m forced to share some random thoughts that occurred to me over the last couple of months. While the venerable R David Finzer describes Uruguay as “Iowa with a Beach”, or “Eisenhower’s Iowa…with subtitles”, I think I prefer [Continue]
Like Weekend at Bernie’s Part III, the indomitable fuBarrio.com defies logic and improbably rides again! OK…decided to spend some time fiddling with my godaddy account and see if i couldn’t get this whole DNS resolution thing sorted. I finally had to use a different computer to get a page that was built using flash to load on [Continue]
Ok…surely the government shutting me down for publishing subversive ideas and fomenting rebellion is a lot more interesting than me just being an incompetent tech-n00b. Unfortunately, I’m afraid the “latter” is the reality of the situation. Without boring you to tears, let’s just say and I can’t for the life of [Continue]

The numbers are staggering… biggest move in the up in the dow since 1932, s&p moved up over 10%, etc etc etc. On Sunday I said, “i do believe we see *some* firming of prices over the next little while.” hahahahha…yeah, i guess that was “some”. No, I didn’t turn into a British gentleman over the [Continue]

In case you’re one of those that just doesn’t open your 401k statement when stocks are selling off, newsflash: Government Intervention into Markets Doesn’t F’ing Workand, to be quite honest that is about the only thing that can be predicted when you the govt starts meddling in systems that are far too complex and [Continue]
Gosh, and they did it before market opened too…. This whole game would be alot more fun if it wasn’t so predictable, huh? The “problem” is these fools already made shorting almost everything illegal — so they won’t even be able to engineer a short squeeze out of this…s&p futures hopped up to 1040 in [Continue]
