No. I don't. There's a million or more homeless in America too. Do i see Big Brother building free housing? If anything they're working 24/7 on ways to INCREASE home values. Much of the healthcare debate is illogical. If insurers are so greedy then why are provider costs rising? Would not...

I've seen SET a few times in the past 3-5 years be 7-9 SPX points away from the theoretical cash open. 3pts is nothing but friggin' noise.

Another stupid ET cunt. A whopping 45,000 a year? OMG, the horror! So to save 1% out of the 5,000,000 Americans who die each year, we're socializing a major part of the economy? Does ObamaCare now promise immortality, too? Secondly, the self employed are among "THE LEAST FUCKED" by...

Do you understand how SET is derived?

If I buy a put and you sell it then I "created" a derivative. Silly me for thinking that the seller would man up and not squawk if he gets toasted. For how many years did AIG 'sell protection" to hedgers in a rising market and walk away not only unscathed but with mega-profits?

#1 was Société Générale. Here's a litmus test for what's crap, populist analysis vs. actual critical thinking. if someone say's "Paulson bailed his buddies out" but fails to mention Soc Gen or Deutsche Bank (#3 on the AIG list) then you know you're dealing with a clown. Besides, given...

Do you know who received the most money from the AIG bailout? Hint: It wasn't GS.

Agree. 100%

You're pretty much a really weird guy aren't you? You live in Canada-you've spent little time in America-yet you make literally thousands of leftist comments on a trading message board about American politics. The typical American couldn't pick the Canadian PM out of a line-up, yet you and a...

For years, he's also owned a chunk of Rite-Aid stock. So apparently profiting from the retail arm of the pharmaceutical industry is ok but going through the hassle of paying scientists to develop medications is pure greed. Actually though I think Optional is correct. No one should profit from...

I've seen two polls and in each about 1/4 of practitioners say they'll quit altogether and another quarter will work significantly less. Funny how Krugman doesn't address that "myth." Or, why doesn't he address the myth that insurance premiums will fall under PelosiCare? As uber-leftist...

Of course Medicares premiums haven't risen particularly fast. That's why Medicare is $35 trillion under funded.

Where the fuck do you come up with the bullshit "ending two wars." He's placed tens of thousands additional troops in Afghanistan, expanded the war into Pakistan and there appears to be little improvement in changing the hearts and minds of Taliban sympathetic Pakistani citizens. I rate the...

And who told you those instruments "destroyed" the world? Did Lehman receive a bailout? Truth is, neither you nor I know how much American and European banks lost from real life mortgage lending vs. derivative trading. The bank owned by the Democrat Senate candidate in Illinois is going under...

Are you not the same dickwad who was ranting about how if Forex margins were cut it would hurt your trading? But now you have the unmitigated gall to criticize ratings agencies and lack of regulatory oversight? Further, if you want to talk about being considered a douchebag, go make a...

To the British, George Washington was a terrorist. And as I type, there's a pretty good chance that a drone, fired from right here on U.S. soil, is killing Pakistani civilians in an expansion of war, not sanctioned by Congressional vote. Lincoln, Wilson, FDR, Truman, LBJ, Bush, now even Nobel...

:D I have a theory about these 'end of administration" sell-offs ala' Clinton/2000 and Bush/2008. When these Presidents clean up the books by selling all the index futures they'd bought the prior 8 years, bada bing, look out below.

Or Joe Biden, Robert Byrd, Rich Daley.....

They both expire on the opening. I'd strongly suggest you cover with March. If you're not familiar with the inherent basis risk of SET, then read up. It's perfectly conceivable-and not uncommon-for March to settle +11pts and Sept to only trade +3.

i doubt it. Geithner says the $5 tick size is for pikers.....
