    What did Pelosi say to Piss Off the Repubs?

    It's a shitty bill & won't solve any problems anyway, except bail out the dumbasses on Wall Street. Go DEMS! Thank you for listening to your constituents.

    Henry Paulson

    Isn't that what George W. Bush promised us? Didn't we have a surplus when he was elected? What we've ended up with is a bunch of "don't tax & spend" Republicans.

    Gold only up $20???? pitiful

    My theory (did I read this somewhere today?) is that a bank such as LEH had accumulated a large short position in gold futures. It was a brilliant trade, except they got forced to cover it in an untimely manner. Now everyone else who was short got screwed too. Is that crazy? Does LEH even...

    simple question about a money market mutual fund

    Go to http://www.treasurydirect.gov/ You can put your money in treasury bills for 30 days or 90 days and earn about 5% these days. You just have to roll it over every month if you choose 30 days. One advantage is that you don't pay state tax on this (only federal tax). (I'm...

    Eurodollar Spreads/ Eurodollar

    Question: Is that long June 2007 and short June 2008 or vice versa? Sorry, I am confused by the terminology a bit still. Thanks for the CME PDF file.

    Eurodollar Spreads

    Anybody know a free source of Eurodollar spread charts (including historical)? I just dumped my Tradestation account. IB's charts look a little funky.
