crashmonitor Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) An understanding of financial markets but not an ability to foresee market crashes. Might have been worth while just having one housepricecasher on board in 2006 when the median prediction on here was for a real fall of -35% against the outcome of -33% instead of the clueless **** that presided on the MPC at the time. Only clueless **** need apply, no gold star for getting it right because we were in the minority and that makes it wrong..

The loonacy of the past decade makes no sense to me Frankly they are having a laugh, the only deep understanding necessary is of their own index linked pensions and how many deluxe biscuit assortment tins they can get through in just one afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashmonitor Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Frankly they are having a laugh, the only deep understanding necessary is of their own index linked pensions and the need to keep this locked to RPI as opposed to their 2% target. No need to worry how much they f**k up then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oracle Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Link Anyone applying? did notice the bit about undisputed integrity and standing on the resume. ....I guess that's still work in progress. surely running a country's finances shouldn't be that much different to running a budget for a normal household? can't be that difficult Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only clueless **** need apply, no gold star for getting it right because we were in the minority and that makes it wrong.. To forsee stock market crashes and depressions you at least need an economic model capable of generating them. The neoclassical model employed by Bernanke, King, Krugman et al is incapable of doing so. They were dumbfounded by the Crash when it happened and have been unable to muster a coherent explanation since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
