    US Seeks Up to 40% Stake in Citi, FUTURES turn higher

    These banks are so insolvent, they actually don't want to know the negative value of the assets on their books. They literally don't want to know. The several hundred billion they received from the taxpayers just fell into this extremely deep well that goes on forever and forever, and no...

    Watch in Realtime as I make $10k, or possibly (literally) DIE TRYING

    Wow, man. You are getting good care, and Vncomycin is the antibiotic of choice for MRSA. However, please ask your physicians if an overlay of Zyvox and Cubicin can be utilized now, or separately, in case the Vancomycin doesn't knock out the MRSA. Here's a reference for your treating doc...

    Watch in Realtime as I make $10k, or possibly (literally) DIE TRYING

    Brandon, you have had some tough breaks lately, and I, for one, am genuinely sorry about that. It's nice to see that you're a fighter, though, and I think you'll make it through because of that. On the MRSA issue, you had better get aggressive with your doctors - I don't mean hostile, but...

    oooh, lofty intellectualism... ...I like it. And a $50 word like 'precis,' to boot. I had to look that word up.

    Paul Volcker: Economy may be deteriorating even faster than during Great Depression

    mak, I can answer as to 1981, at least. Yes - A lot of people knew that those getting laid off by factories in the U.S. would be rehired. It was a classical cyclical downturn, due to inflation, interest rates, etc., and there was a solid history of those who were laid off getting paperwork...

    Paul Volcker: Economy may be deteriorating even faster than during Great Depression

    A very excellent and thought-provoking post, Jem. I absolutely agree that there will be a rising trend towards nationalism (if that's what you believe), and I also agree that comparing the effects of Smoot-Hawley in the 30's and protectionism today is a very difficult analysis, in terms of...

    And even if it did, you'd be down 86%, instead of 90%, in your monopoly money, paper trading 'Baby Einstein Investing Portfolio.' But keep pretend buying and bragging about it (after blowing up atg least 9 times in 9 months) when there's downward pressure due to increasing redemptions and...

    Avast the best?

    It's good. So is Avira (better detection rates). Nod32 is without a doubt the best, though. I am using it, used all the others, and it's in a separate league.

    UBS Will Fail Soon

    FWIW, the U.S. is seeking, and UBS previously agreed, to provide the names and account information of 52,000 American 'private wealth' clients. That is a lot.

    Paul Volcker: Economy may be deteriorating even faster than during Great Depression

    No problem. The humble but central point I've been harping on, not just here, but when I speak with people anywhere, is that without a resolution that solves the employment problem, no healing of the economy can happen. Everything is about jobs. Here, in China, Japan, Spain, Canada -...

    Paul Volcker: Economy may be deteriorating even faster than during Great Depression

    Volcker made the 'Great Depression' comparison two days ago. I highly doubt he'd speak in this manner, to a public group at Columbia University, due to some pissing match that is alleged between he and Summers.

    Clinton Begs China To Buy More T-Bonds; Says 'we are going to rise or fall together'

    And nothing less than a very public and degrading act of begging, to add insult to injury. You'd think she'd have enough brains to beg privately.

    If we were to go to war with China

    I am not going to respond to the OP or any other post in this thread, but I will say that I don't understand your comment, as it's historically questionable. Vietnam kicked China's ass when they fought an intense but brief all out war, literally, in 1979. I think the 40,000 to 60,000...
