How is it that you disagree with every Democratic Party insider ? How do you explain election results from Scott Brown to NY-9 ? How does Quinnipac reconcile that ? Politico: In Democratic strongholds from Vermont to California—not to mention New York City, where the president...

No I am not, rather I am proving what a hypocrite you are. Explain yourself and your words - are you a liar ?

There is one elected official who is falling faster than Perry. Care to guess who ?

How is it that Pee Drinker and Commie Gun voted for, and pray at the gloryhole altar of, the annointed one - Barack Hussein Obama ? Both of you gents voted for and support a President who prays to Jesus Christ, and proclaims his belief in God. He supports currency and public buildings...

Let us recall how the Dems and the MSM were lambasting the electoral college system mightily during the Gore / Bush recount fiasco. Turnaround is fair play.

Whatever happened to 5000 at the end of August ? Mark his words, heard it here first so we were told. I like the way he carries on a conversation with himself for a few days... and then stops (market rallies). If we tank tomorrow, he'll post about 5 times in two hours. When we come off...

The crazy thing is, and this goes for the Soc Gen situation as well, these were not esoteric OTC products. I could understand an OTC swap that would take longer for the firm to receive counterparty confirmation on. Nuts. I don't get it.

Bingo. Obama is, in fact, not really very smart it would appear. And the academics holding cabinet positions are doing him no favors, either. I am just fascinated that the professional left believes that Ivy League education and pretty speeches somehow equates to effectiveness in the real...

Well, it is true that bank desks are almost always hedging their risk through arbitrage, spread trades, and hedged market-making. Bank traders do, however, have individualized agreements in terms of capital allocations, max drawdowns, and daily losses. At my firm, it was called the...

Not nearly enough info regarding instruments and position deltas ( hedged, unhedged) to offer an opinion.

AK, how is it that the professional Democratic Party operatives see things differently than you do ? In other words, the people serving you the Kool-Aid are apparently not drinking it. Politico Obama's blue-state blues By: Edward-Isaac Dovere September 15, 2011 04:52 AM EDT...

$142M is modest and I can see that happening. Do you think US banks are lucky, or do US banks have better risk controls in terms of individual rogue traders ? (again, I am not referring to firm-wide sanctioned idiocy like mortgage bets, but individual traders hiding huge stinkers)

I am not a Sarah Palin fan beyond sexual fantasy (neither she nor Michelle Bachmann are even remotely electable on a national scale, and that IMO is not a bad thing), but the reason that the MSM is not really picking up on this screed is that it obviously cannot be substantiated. Again, when...

Good find, that one I do not remember. Was that Chicago, NYC, or London; and which office do you suppose oversaw the risk ? I find it strange but consistent that somehow US risk managers have better controls over 'rogue employees'. Notwithstanding idiot hedge funds like LTCM and Amaranth -...

Naturally, none of this crap is even remotely substantiated - and the most liberal rag in the universe confirms as much. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/15/books/joe-mcginnisss-the-rogue-on-sarah-palin-review.html?_r=1&nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha28 New York Times Books of The Times...

Just yesterday he admitted that things have been going quite badly since the Scott Brown election. Talk about mood swings... The meds need adjustment ? Imagine the schizophrenia that will be induced when more of the DOJ corruptions and the Solyndra scandal comes to light - just in time...

Nobel Prize-Winning Physicist Resigns Over Global Warming Published September 14, 2011 | FoxNews.com The global warming theory left him out in the cold. Dr. Ivar Giaever, a former professor with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the 1973 winner of the Nobel Prize in physics...

When was the last time we heard of a US Bank having a "rogue trader" ? Seems it's always a Barings, a Soc Gen, a Metalgeshaftwhatever, a Jap Bank ... that kind of thing. I recall that China executed a rogue trader in 2009 or thereabouts.

AK, you really need to think about things before posting. Perry sinking in the polls is actually really bad news for Obama. Your boy is truly fucked. And the other thing, you conveniently keep leaving out the only polling this early that really matters: Obama vs. Generic Republican...
