You are mistaken. Japan was VERY slow to react. The BOJ lowered rates to zero and the govt. repeatedly boosted spending to stimulate the economy. Nothing succeeded, until the govt. removed non-performing loans from the banking system. They were extremely slow in carrying out any kind...

Actually, according to CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller Bush was on "vacation" at the Crawford Ranch and Camp David for a total of 977 days. I believe that comes to 33% of his total days in office as President...

P.S. The Banks ( BAC, WFC, JPM, MS, etc. ) got absolutely SLAMMED in the last hour today.

Wow. Look at the change for C, BAC, and WFC. Guess they were running for cover on Wednesday in the last hour. http://www.reuters.com/article/marketsNews/idAFN2436480620090324?rpc=44 :)

This is what happens when you have a POS Chairman of the SEC by the name of Christopher Cox. The Regulation "pendulum" swings the other way . . .

Thank you.

So where are we in the BIG PICTURE now???

Great job today Mup! :cool:

"If you bought the SKF (went 2x short the financials) at the September 2008 XLF price high at $24, and prices in the XLF have now fallen to $11 per share, take a look at your SKF position that you bought about $100 per share. You were 100% correct in your assessment that the Financial Sector...

Those last 9 handles down in the SPX in the last 20 minutes was brutal. Wow.

Yes, the grass is definitely growing today. Interesting down move in the last hour back to that 810 level. Will we challenge the 804 SPX "break-out" level??? Stay tuned. P.S. Ed, it looks like your 3 Wave is smaller than Wave 1. Isn't that a "no-no"??? :D

Leave it to you to claim that the Oakland Police were (lazy) and "not going out at night". You are a total douche-bag.

You really need a reality check. Oakland hasn't been "fixed" for decades.

President Obama, rejecting former Vice President Dick Cheney's contention that Obama has put the nation at greater risk of terrorism, suggests in an interview on "60 Minutes" that the previous administration's stance was an "advertisement for anti-American sentiment." "How many terrorists...

Actually, I find it refreshing that we have a President that fills out his March Madness brackets . . . is able to use gallows humor to get him through the incredible amount of "dog-doo" that his Administration is currently dealing with . . . "facing impossible odds with limited resources...

It's not happening. The "proposal" was dropped last Thursday. And for what it's worth, the Obama Administration's budget increases overall spending for Vets by 11%.

How much do you want to bet that this legislation NEVER becomes law? Care to put your money where your mouth is, Mr. Lucrum?

The parole system is broken. 800 cops for a population of 400,000 doesn't work. In fact, it hasn't worked for years . . . An AK-47 assault rife didn't help matters, either.

Once again, Mercor shows his total ignorance. First off, any strategic military effort in Afghanistan will be a hundred times more difficult than Iraq because of the simple fact that the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan is extremely mountainous; there is virtually no government outside...

And don't forget that McCain's economic advisor was none other than Texas Republican, Phil "Enron" Gramm who brought us the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000, (without even a committee hearing or a recorded vote ) complete with de-regulation of credit default swaps, power trading that...
