Talk about calling the "kettle" black . . . The UK is for all intent and purposes, BANKRUPT and this guy's touting the virtues of fiscal responsibility? Give me a break. Another British "bone-head" in total DENIAL. :D

That's because Bush was never really the President and the media damn well knew it! Cheney was the President. Besides, Dumbya took > 500 days in vacation during his two terms . . . at Camp David, the Crawford Ranch, Kennebunkport, Maine, etc. - - - That comes out to 25% of his reign...

Excellent point. That is why McCain/Palin and the Republican Party never had a chance. Even Palin was "smart" enough to realize this given her post-election comments. A Zebra can't change their "stripes" just because they finally got rid of two disastrous terms of Bush. The Republican...

When I was trading stock-index futures on the floor back in October of 1987, there was a day when we stopped trading for 2 hours ( if my memory serves me correct ). I think that we were given a 20-30 minute "heads-up" back then. During the first bomb-blast at the World Trade Center in...

Agreed 100% Cap-Ex has plummeted at most E&P companies. Aside from Royal Dutch Shell, I think that Chevron is literally the only major-integrated that is keeping with the same Cap-Ex as last year . . . nearly $23 BILLION in capital projects for 2009. By the way, we lose 30% of our...

CHK's Aubrey McClendon was on "Cramer" yesterday . . . He always talks a great game in regards to NG ( and appears very sincere in doing so ), but there's just no telling how long NG is gonna be down at these levels given how the Economy is behaving. Here's Cramer's interview of Aubrey...

:D

"I think there is an illness called Goldmansachs Head. I think it's in the DSM. When you have Goldmansachs Head, the party's never over. You take private planes to ask for bailout money, you entertain customers at high-end spas while your writers prep your testimony, you take and give huge...

First off, 5.4% was what the analysts polled by Reuter's estimated. Second of all, realistically speaking the number wasn't really -3.8% Taking into consideration inventory build-up ( which gets counted as "growth" ) the REAL GDP number was actually: 5.1% That's not far off from...

Is this the beginning of the "measured-move" down to 738.31 SPX in which (this leg down from the 877.86 high) equals the first leg down ( 943.85 - 804.30 )? Or perhaps only a 61.8% ratio of Wave A thus targeting 791.62? Stay tuned! :)

Company blows out Q4. Stock acts VERY strong during today's -150 Dow. $78.90 just before the close ( +.56 ) C4ISR!!! :cool:

No, that's why the TRADING FORUM on ET is of little value.

Very true. The Republicans have just put themselves into a nice little "box" with very little wiggle room. If the Economy comes back in late 2009 or early 2010 ( which there is a very high probability of based on where we are in this business cycle ), then the Republicans are left on the...

Does anyone actually take you seriously? Jump start on Socialism? Who are you kidding? What would you call nationalizing Fannie and Freddie, or handing out $700 BILLION to the financial industry, including $150 BILLION to AIG? Backstopping Bear Stearns and Bank of America? Get real...

For some reason, your partisanship conveniently ignores the fact that Obama met with House and Senate Republicans on Tuesday of this week.

Should the next Commerce Secretary of the United States be Republican Senator Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, the Governor of New Hampshire ( John Lynch, Democrat ) would have the opportunity to replace Gregg's senate seat with a Democrat, thereby giving Democrats 60 seats in the Senate. But...

The EIA reported that underground storage inventories fell by 186 billion vs the 178-183 bcf drop expected by Platts. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/DOE-says-natural-gas-supplies-apf-14195039.html

tomorrow and there's a good chance that investors will not be happy with the "news". The Street is looking for $1.45 The stock was removed from Goldman's "Buy" list today in an effort to prepare for higher beta names for an eventual turn in the petroleum cycle.

Do you really believe that Bush is actually responsible for preventing any further attacks after 9/11? Bush spent > 500 days of his Presidency on VACATION at the Crawford Ranch, Camp David, and Kennebunkport, Maine. That's 25% of his time in office! And yet according to "Dumbya", his only...

Putin was feeling pretty "smug" at the Beijing Olympics when crude was still trading over $100 per barrel and he invaded Georgia. He ( and Russia ) are not feeling too "smug" anymore . . . not with Crude and the Ruble having crashed. The Russian Central Bank had spent more than $100 BILLION...
