Welcome to all newbie viewers of this blog...what took you so long?
Gloom and Doom has been around for ages, OK since 1999.
...we started out in Yahoo Clubs as just another daytrading site; except for "Bears, Shorts and Market Cassandras..." Indeed the "short selling" catagory was started just for Gloom and Doom when Yahoo decided to divide up the daytrading section into smaller sub-catagories.
Then came Yahoo Groups...and the "Clubs" were discontinued.
Gloom and Doom was in Yahoo Groups for a few years...where I decided to make this board more of a blog (blogs were just becoming popular then)...and less of a "public board" --because the touts and the spammers will simply kill you if you don't moderate them constantly.
Finally, this "blog" was moved to Blogger...as the GLOOM AND DOOM REPORT. Quite simply because the formating options and other features at Blogger were more attractive...
Gloom and Doom has become more political over the years, and not exclusively about the markets, but this blog still tries be very "macro" oriented...and NOT to have an agenda.
With all of the touts and apologists for the "happy" side of things...perhaps the 'Net can support one or two contrarian sites...
So, the motto of this board might be: "Yes, but..."
Bookmark this blog today...and come back daily for what might be a different point of view on key issues of the day...
Or, better yet why not simply make GLOOM AND DOOM your homepage and take the guess work out of it? Ya think?
P.S. This blog is created at 600x800 screen resolution. And remember the "side bar" is open 24.7.365 and all of the "images" are actually links to web sites you may find interesting and important. For example, the "gold coin" is actually a link to the FED!
