    Fed Considering Lending Cash Directly To Hedge Funds In Next Repo Market Crisis

    Some mutual funds tried something like that in the .com bubble. They had shareholders vote on changing the charter to allow the fund to borrow money to honor redemptions. Meaning of course that if 50% of the shares redeemed, the remaining shareholders would be levered 2:1 plus having interest...

    'High anticipation' for CME bitcoin options launch

    LOL! You're kidding, right? BTC has ZERO intrinsic value.

    Trump’s ovation at the College Football Championship

    The only reason people hate/boo Trump is because Pelosi and Schumer, et al, have conditioned them and told them to. Too bad those people can't seem to figure out when they've been suckered! (Can't you just imagine.... Pelosi, Schumer, Waters, DiBlasio, et al... sitting back drinking fine...

    What happened to Melissa Lee on CNBC ?

    I'd date her if she didn't talk so funny.

    So he's lying in multiple languages now. OK.

    Something like that. Hard to imagine... an endeavor like trading which requires observation, analysis, and discipline to succeed would attract such a large number of numbnuts. :)

    Greta Thunberg goes Metal

    Goebbels and the Nazis knew this too. "Win-over (brainwash) the young." Young people don't have enough life experience to have much of a valid, intelligent view on anything really. Oh, they have opinions/convictions all right... but that's all they have until they learn better if they ever...

    Pew: Across 33 countries, 64% of people have no confidence in Trump

    No surprise. Most of the world is "brain-dead Lefty", so they never give any thought to anything that isn't of their ilk and automatically hate it.

    Wow! 1st of your posts that I notice and that's enough to make my ON IGNORE!! list. (Didn't help that exGOPer gave you a "like".)

    How The American Empire Is Self-Destructing (just like the ones before us)

    "... where did we go wrong? Why are we no longer the world’s foremost empire? Why have we lost not only the majority of our colonies, but also the majority of our wealth?..." https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/empire-self-destructs Thank you VERY MUCH, politicians! :(

    What crusty, old, white person will the Democrats nominate?

    Dems are boiling mad! They keep cheating their asses off to get illegal votes, but that still doesn't win them the presidency.

    GUNS!

    Funny anecdote... On one of the "custom gun shop" shows, some muy macho ex-Marine/Seal guy wanted the "most bad ass rifle possible". The shop built him a custom ".50 cal. Magnum". First time he shot it, the stock broke and it dislocated his shoulder. I don't recall why the stock didn't break...

    Best Trading Book You Have Ever Read?

    No special impact on me, just reiterating what I already knew.... I recommend the Mark Douglas books (any of them)... as they address the psycho of trading. Can't win big (or maybe at all) without being squared away in your brain.

    War With Iran? As of now, looks like "no".

    Perusing the news stories.... 1. Last night's "attack" was forewarned to America 2. The missiles were intentionally aimed to miss anything vital 3. It apparently all was a "show" for the Iranian people who chant "Death To America". Bottom Line.... Iran doesn't want a real war with the...

    If Baghdad Wants Us Out, Let's Go!

    Seems a different issue. America "invaded" the ME on the premise of "human rights, freedom, democracy for all". That was a false premise, 'cause all we really cared about was their oil. Now that America has developed our own oil resources to the point of becoming a net EXPORTER... makes all...

    Aaron Rodgers and Danica Patrick buy $28 million Malibu mansion

    LOL! It's the chick's fault he can't complete a pass! (I understand completely. When things go to crap in my life first thing I think of is, "get a new woman".)

    If Baghdad Wants Us Out, Let's Go!

    Yes, but oil is a world-wide market. If you can't buy it from one place, you get it from another. America "invaded" the ME in an effort to effectively CONFISCATE/STEAL their oil. That's what conquering forces do. Unfortunately, hasn't worked out all that well for us.

    If Baghdad Wants Us Out, Let's Go!

    Authored by Patrick Buchanan via Buchanan.org, Yes! By all means. Let's pull out, let them Islam the SHIT out of each other and settle their own quarrels. Let's not be hypocritical.... we wouldn't give a CRAP about the ME if it weren't for their oil reserves. (How much better off would we...

    Bubble ben bernanke says the fed should use negative rates in next crisis!!!

    So... everybody whose assets are denominated in $USD gets their buying power destroyed and the high interest rates cause everybody to default on their bonds/loans? Geez... that IS good monetary policy! Sounds like a turmoil maker.

    Why have I never seen any offer of money manager here?

    I could be mistaken, but I believe the "15 investors" is limited to friends and family.... people you already know and have a relationship with... not public "strangers". CTAs could post, but what would they post.... "Let me manage your money"? They almost certainly couldn't entice you with...
