You assume that there are banks out there that do not have these kinds of "securities" on their books. Like many here on ET, you severely underestimate the magnitude of what has occurred. What do you think happens to economic growth when the only patients left in the hospital still have "cancer"?

Nope, far from it. But it's amazing how ET seems to attract a ton of people that lack even the most basic tools of READING COMPREHENSION. Trying to pass off 10 week old "data" as a 1-week old article is absurd. You obviously have no problem with that. And people wonder why ET has...

Exactly. Stop looking at fundamental news "data" as the basis for identifying one day's action. On a similar note, ever think about trading technically? Ever think about looking at a specific sector, like oil and gas, drilling, etc. and not just the SPY or ES?

No one is saying that. But to think that "speculating" in futures markets is some sort of an illicit activity that resides in the deep, dark, underbelly of some capitalistic Dragon out there is ridiculous. If you have a problem with "specs" over on the ICE or DME controling more than...

I don't think that anyone is saying that the public will stop driving cars or have a need for gasoline, anytime soon. That having been said, it's ALL about operating margins and right now with a slower economy VLO doesn't have much pricing power. In the meantime, VLO should be in a better...

Down 5 points.

Here is a weblink that will help you identify what is, and what is NOT a TN panel: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/index.php?title=Master_Monitors_List And for what it's worth, Planar makes a nice 20" flat-panel ( non-horizontal display and non-TN ) that fellow ET'er and resident...

Let me make this perfectly clear . . . You are a MORON. You have added nothing but MISINFORMATION, which is of no value to any attempt in creating a constructive discussion. The heavy spec and insider buying that you have highlighted belongs to a very old article from Bloomberg that...

Your calls must have expired worthless. The stock tanked from $53 all the way to $30 this week. Nice call.

Almost no downside eh? How does a collapse from $52 when you posted the above ( back in early April ), to $30 grab you?

:D

Please tell me how our Economy survives without the financial intermediaries to facilitate CAPITAL FORMATION? What other "entities" would fill the void? Once again, I come back to the same question that you ( and others ) have failed to answer. Where does CAPITAL FORMATION come from to...

Thanks. You are wise beyond your years my friend. You have touched upon one of the single most important aspects of TRADING and money management. The EGO. The problem with most of the posts in the TRADING FORUM is that they show absolutely ZERO basis in technical analysis, and therefore...

Aren't worth saving? Just because you say so? And what evidence do you have of this? Please be specific. Do you have any idea why Bear Stearns got taken "over" by JP Morgan? Ever hear of counter-party risk? Guess not. Which banks (in your opinion ) should be allowed to go under...

The ONLY REAL REASON to log-onto ET. The greatest contrary indicators of All-Time! :D

Yep. I think that all of us here can agree that we are in some sort of a "C" . .. or the next sequence up if in fact we have finished Wave IV. Either way, the trend is up with 1325 being a target on the SPX.

You still don't get it, do you? They ARE starting over. There are ( and will be ) a TON of regulations that will limit severely "limit" the banks from here on out. You act as if everything happens in some sort of an "if, then, else . . . " binary vacuum. Very naive.

Well said. Unfortunately, there are too many kids on this website ( such as "S2007S" ) who are unable to do any independent thinking on their own, and can only "cut and paste" articles that are so general and vague that you could drive a bus through them. What's funny is that they actually...

The QID bounced 6 times off of the 43.19 - 43.45 area during the month of July. It has clearly broken that support level. Good Luck with playing pick the "bottom".

Unfortunately, there are far too many here on ET that post in the TRADING FORUM without any "technical" clue whatsoever . . . Why anyone would want to be long the QID; a chart that has been making lower lows, and lower highs, is a great example of this. There is absolutely NO TECHNICAL...
