Schmuppet

Anyone who believes in Peter Schiff’s investment thesis, and thinks they will profit from it. Also, anyone who believe’s that Peter Schiff’s investment ideas (such as investing in Gold and Silver, or buying mining companies, or buying non-US companies) will make them “crash proof” in the event of an economic collapse or bear market.

The Schmuppets think that Gold will bottom out any day now! The Schmuppets got their heads handed to them in 2008 when Schiff’s picks underperformed the Dow itself!

Shupset

The extreme level of unhappiness that is achieved when told to shut up (shup).

That gal sitting in front of us at the show would not stop screaming and making a ruckus, I asked her to calm down and she got all chicken headed and started on me. I said shup and she lost it! Judging by the redness of her face I'd say she was pretty shupset.

schumpeterian mojo

A society's confidence in their free-markets, a confidence founded in the situation where they have successfully eschewed a captured economy (thanks to their free-markets) ; and thence, have heaps of dynamism in their economy where existing products often become obsolete due to the introduction of new products.

Humanity got to the point of transhumanism by the year 2000 thanks to the free-market policies set in place by Mr.Free Market in the year 1980 . Humanities past twas not chockful of schumpeterian mojo up until Mr.Free Market's presidency. The president who switched the USA to a parliamentary system.
