Your unreferenced talk is cheap. Want to put some MONEY where your mouth is and place a bet about the implementation of a STT/STT-like "fee" that becomes LAW in 2009? I will.

:D :D :D They did put out a great segment a couple of months back on how credit default swaps evolved from the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000. Very informative for even the average American that goes to work in the morning and has nothing to do with the financial services...

Almost 8800 posts in only 2.5 years and you can't do anything but point out the OBVIOUS. Congrats! :)

Congratulations! You apparently still have the Reading Comprehension of a 4th grader. What part of your claim: "Now being propelled by the very State that has already lost the most . . ." are you unable to comprehend what I responded to?

Given the fact that Hillary Clinton is now in Obama's cabinet, and Mayor Bloomberg has been an open supporter of the President elect, along with the likes of Chuck Schumer who incidentally sits on the Senate Finance Committee and the Senate Banking Committee, its hard to see that this kind of...

I'm not a registered Democrat, moron. But like all of you idiots that can't get enough of Rush Limbaugh down in San Diego, I guess that if you keep saying it over and over again - - - it somehow becomes "true". For what it's worth, this legislation by-passed the substantive policy committees...

You give a NY Times journalist far too much credit. He didn't even give any credit to James Tobin or John Maynard Keynes who first proposed this kind of a tax back in 1930. Instead, he lauded economist Dean Baker from the CEPR in Washington. Again, this legislation was originally proposed...

Not at all. But due to your lack of brain power and inability to think for yourself . . . you continue to show everyone here on ET that you are unable to see just how much politicians have screwed over the financial markets and the U.S. economy. My guess is that you hadn't even heard of...

I would actually tend to AGREE. Good point.

Agreed 100% People stop preaching to the "choir" here and register on the NY Times website and make a post! http://community.nytimes.com/article/comments/2009/01/13/opinion/13herbert.html#postComment

Very true. I don't think that you would see the Dems in NY like Chuck Schumer go for this sort of thing, and Michael Bloomberg would be kicking and screaming the whole way too. Remember, these were the guys that put pressure on Christopher Cox ( via the Treasury Department ) to temporarily...

I'm sorry to break this to you Gnome but #3, #4, and #5 all come from the "Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000" which was authored by a bunch of REPUBLICAN senators and house of reps. In fact, the legislation was introduced in the House by Representative Ewing of Illinoiss, and...

No problem guys. Aside from this Thread, ET has really gone down the tubes over the last couple of years . . . There is a lot of other VALUABLE content out there, and every now and then I "stumble" across something that looks solid. Again, you guys are great. Just about the ONLY reason...

From Rumsfeld to Chertoff to Gonzales to Christopher Cox at the SEC and Pat Wood III at FERC . . . You couldn't ask for a more incompetent group of individuals . . . You might as well throw Paulson in their too. Just amazing.

ET has really gone down the tubes . . . This thread in the Trading Forum simply confirms that. And the fact of the matter is that there are so many more VALUABLE websites out there that offer solid technical analysis. Corey Rosenblooms blog at Afraid to Trade comes to mind. For people...

Here's an interesting comparison of where we might be from Corey Rosenblum's blog . . . http://blog.afraidtotrade.com/ :cool:

Trust me, it's because the DOCSIS 2.0 equipment is not able to get in "synch" with the DOCSIS 3.0 stuff that runs the VoIP feature for phone service. Some of the techs don't even know about the issue.

Yup. Pelosi and Reid have a lot to learn.

Agreed 100%

Quite frankly, I really don't understand the question . . . what kind of market environment ( "storm" ) is currently preventing day-traders from making money? Can you be a lot more specific?
