And you post this in the "trading" forum? Too bad they don't have a "buy and hold" forum?

Where are the smarta**es now that were crying for the Fed to hike in order to combat crude prices >$100????????????? I'd say hike rates to 8% right now, Bernanke. So BAC, JPM and C all blow up next week. We have to urgently "clear out the system" and combat rampant inflation!

Where are all our ET PHD economists calling for the Fed to raise rates because crude is >$100????

I logged out and logged in again. All data appears fine now!

I am amazed by the level of complacency and self shoulder-patting you show. I am agnostic to short term market direction but just for the sake of teaching you a lesson I'd love the markets to close in the green today.

You don't offer much substance that you could be flamed for. In fact, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

Seems to me as if IB data in TWS has problems of being updated? Half my quotes are not showing, I can't find any pattern it just seems to update random rows at a time, with other rows remaining empty. Only happens to all my equity positions, futures seem fine.

+10% to -10% on 6.5m shares. Pretty decent range I'd say!

Holy vola in BSC! +10% to -2% within minutes. Not bad.

Cutten, you brought up some great examples. Examples where the patient went belly up and it took the economies years to get back on track, fortunately those crisis were local in nature, so every economy could draw on global growth to get back on track. Let's look at 1990. In many regards, you...

Reminds me of

I posted this in another thread regarding 1990/91 & how worthless headlines of the time were in forecasting market direction. Headlines of 1990: http://news.google.com/archivesearc...range=1991,2002 "Will the Recession Be Global? There are some dire warnings..." - Nov 4, 1990 "Jobless...

What about when companies go bankrupt? Is that also funny? I honestly don't see much of a difference between a hedge fund blowing up and some company going out of business. Not sure what's funny or entertaining about it.

How would bankruptcies of others cheer me up exactly?

Imagine the following. I have no doubts that Spitzer had ambitions for the White house down the line. And who would he suggest as treasury secretary? Yes, you got it: JIM CRAMER. Thank God this will never happen.

Aha. So any move to the upside is pure idiocy. Any move to the downside is perfectly logical. Gotcha.

Mishkin has said numerous times they're vigilant to raise rates on the first signs of economic stabilization. We'll see.
