    Japan Q4 GDP: -12.7%

    And that was McCain's big economic proposal during the Presidential debates, as I recall. But "subsidizing" your neighbors mortgage doesn't come off too well in the Republican party. :D

    Japan Q4 GDP: -12.7%

    But we won't know anything about China for almost a year because they only measure their GDP on a "year-over-year" basis and not vs the past quarter.

    Bill Clinton: I should have better regulated derivatives

    Probably true. And for what it's worth, the "Commodity Futures Modernization Act" that was spearheaded by several Midwestern Republicans such as Phil Gramm and never even went to a committee hearing or a recorded vote, was part of the FY2001 Appropriations Bill. And yet McCain appointed...

    Spending bill

    You didn't seem to be too concerned about the $1 TRILLION dollars that we have spent on Iraq, so why is this any different? Oh, I get it. The $1 TRILLION spent on Iraq was by a Republican President and Congress . . . so it was "ok".

    Obama - is this true?

    Given your logic presented above, why did so many people vote for John McCain and simply shrug off the fact that Phil "Mr. Deregulation" Gramm was his economic advisor and one of the most corrupt people ever to walk this planet? Seems to me that there are still "LOTS of questions" that were...

    Cheney Says Nuclear Attack Will Happen During Obamas Term

    What meds are you on??? The guy spent over 25% (512 days) of his Presidency on VACATION at the Crawford Ranch, Kennebunkport Maine, or Camp David.

    How do the Cayman Islands assist in avoiding taxes?

    As Rufus points out in his earlier post, this is simple tax "avoidance" and nothing really new.

    Obama Says Yes We Can....Caterpillar Says No We Can´t....

    Yeah.... it had nothing to do with Sara Palin as VP. Naaaaaah, that wasn't a factor at all. :D I can see Russia from my window! LOL. Or the fact that McCain knows so little about Economics that he was naive enough to appoint Phil Gramm as his economic advisor, with John ( I gave out $120...

    Obama Says Yes We Can....Caterpillar Says No We Can´t....

    Dude, you are too funny! What kind of a "Hear No Evil, See No Evil" fantasy World do you live in? :D Oh, the same one that had you defending George Bush on ET day after day during 2002-2003 under your other screen-name, Maverick74. LOL!

    Obama Says Yes We Can....Caterpillar Says No We Can´t....

    You mean like the way John McCain offered to subsidize your neighbor's mortgage in his "vast" economic plan that he offered during the debates? And who was his economic advisor again? Phil Gramm? Mr. "Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000". Home of Enron and $70 TRILLION...

    If ford goes under 1 dollar does it become an OTC stock?

    It's BOTH. The share price needs to trade above $1.00 per share AND the company needs to have a market-cap above $15 million for 30 consecutive days for NYSE companies.

    If ford goes under 1 dollar does it become an OTC stock?

    It's not just price level of the stock that is involved here. It depends on the MARKET-CAP of the company! The NYSE has recently decided to lower its minimum required market-cap - or the value of all of a company's outstanding shares - to $15 million through April 22. The existing regulation...

    Poll - have Obama-Geithner caused the next major decline?

    You have no idea what you are talking about. Who do you think created legislation such as the "Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000" without any committee hearings or a recorded vote . . . that allowed for Banks to play with CDS without any regulation or oversight? Does the name...

    Disconnect between oil and RBOB?

    "Since bottoming at 87 cents per gallon in mid-December, wholesale gasoline prices have managed to stage a remarkable 42% rally, despite sluggish demand and supply excess. In large part, the price rally can be attributed to the impressive feat of self-regulation by the industry, which has...

    And yet when asked . . . you have continually REFUSED to post a "screen-shot" of your positions showing how you have positioned yourself to take advantage of your bearish bias. Why is that?
