Yeah, how dare a corporation try to lower prices to benefit their consumers. Its not like their country is in quasi-recession with 9% unemployment

Nice free feature I didn't know about. If you have an amazon account they let you store 5GB of data for free on their servers https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive Good place to backup some stuff in case your HD fries

Well you could be right. I dunno, if the recession really happens in the US, I'd expect risk assets to take another dive down and the bonds to go with it. But yeah, buying gradually right now is probably the right play instead of waiting for the bottom that might never happen

IF there is TARP 2(And I'm not sold on that yet), it still seems too early to buy. Because whatever they do, be it TARP 2 or some other solution, the bank bonds will be sold like crazy in the days before they announce their measures Maybe that is what is going on here, a beauty contest sort...

I believe the FDIC is authorized to inject capital but there are all kinds of nuances that go into that that I'm not an expert on

Its something to keep an eye on. I made some money in early 2009 by buying C debt(against the collective advice of ET). It went to yield as much as 25% a year for 3-4 years. I didn't buy the bottom though There is no TARP anymore so its one key difference that might affect things

But you need to consider that some of these 'winners' could make the same money flipping burgers

WB needs to be sued by his shareholders. He is not fulfilling his role as a CEO when he is doing everything he can to make the company make less money and pay more taxes

Fed might publish their Taylor type rules http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-10-13/fed-signals-next-move-may-link-stimulus-to-economic-mileposts-.html This is going to suck for me because its going to make Fed futures trading very predictable

Looks like the rumors on JPY CHFtization have started. I didn't profit from this but I'm glad I dodged a truck there

The fuckers finally allowed me to short it. I'm at 75% of the old position

Fucking IB, they don't have EWH shares for me to short. I was trying to put my position back in partially

"Whether the EFSF can safely be increased is unclear. Yield spreads between German Bunds and 10-year EFSF debt have widened from 66 to 112 basis points since early July. If yields creep much higher, the fund itself may become a problem." This is from AEP at the Telegraph. Does anyone know...

I stopped playing the JPY in the long side in any significant way after the SNB move. There is a decent chance they will do something like that, it might take forever but I just ain't going to take that chance

Its been months you have been using options to be on pretty much anything even though you said you don't know much about them, as if they had some kind of innate advantage

This is what I had in my mind when I said the 2 were similar but I couldn't find the words to explain it

One could object and say the sample period was during a stock market bubble, ok, but if an 87 crash had to happen 1.3 times a year during a bubble, imagine now that everyone is afraid of crashes and the VIX is above 30
