curious, does anyone know why the begin and end dates for the HE7-22 for today are yesterday (8/26), and there isn't even a product with start and end dates today (8/27) ??? first time I've looked on the weekend...

just look over the pacific. we buy trillion of our own bonds and everything is just peachy here... (or is it? the dollar now buys 1/106th of a barrel of oil... nevermind the blatant monetization, that's the damned SPECULATORS!!!!)

His p&l must have been down. If he was a rainmaker they would not have fired him. could be that he was fired for 2 weeks or whatever until this blows over, and then he's welcome back?? $350k base plus $50k bonus is sort of a weird structure... what is that, like 15% bonus? further evidence...

Cache, you seem serious enough in your convictions to warrant a response. Sorry to be blunt, but forget solar ever being a top 3 or 4 contributor to the generation stack. I hear and understand all your points about economies of scale, etc etc. the only impact solar will make is on the bills...

Don't get me wrong: I don't think GS is squeaky clean by any means. I just don't like people blaming their mostly self-created predicaments on popular scapegoats du jour. I think what would be cool is for someone to outfox the fox, as opposed to just complaining about how sly he is...

pretty lame that they have to focus on one ibank in their effort to divert blame. "Our poorly thought out, overinclusive monetary union is in trouble not because it SUCKS, and we LET ALL THE LOSERS IN WITH GIANT DEFICITS AND ENTITLEMENT SOCIETIES, but because, um, because of the, uh, GOLDMAN...

everyone hates the bond vigilantes. all they do is shine the bright light on what's really up, instead of pretending politely that the emperor has no clothes...

It's traditionally a physi market. gas is on the margin almost always. you can buy fin swaps on ICE, as mentioned. what's wrong with heatrates? If you want FP power just cover the gas leg as soon as you put the HR on. HR's mostly for the term. Dailys & Balweek are usually FP.

I am a totyota fan. please don't misunderstand. I was just being funny (others would say snooty/arrogant/idiotic) about toyotas "accellerating." to be fair I gues not too many cars accelerate like my M5.

Not sure what marijuana has to do with africa, but I like the idea of making up random charges for stuff we don't exacty do and then tell all our creditors that it offsets our obligation. It's like calling your car company and telling them your car has some sort of defect, and that you spent...

thinking of this makes me snicker every time. It's like having all your stooges shill bidding your ebay auction. "hey japs, chinese: look at this demand!!! these things are flying off the shelf at 99 bucks! better bid the price up some more to make sure you get enough to meet your currency...

I dislike your chart. why don't we point out all the entitlement programs, shameless redistribution, nationalization of industries, "free" healthcare, etc., as the "cause" for the projected deficit. posting a chart blaming tax cuts for the deficit insists on the premise that the cut taxes...

lucky bastards. I can't get a Camry to accelerate for anything. it just gets noisier.

that was my inderstanding too.
