You have got to the the most IGNORANT person on ET. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke authorized the bail-out of AIG last September, using a rarely used law on the books from the Federal Reserve Act of 1932, Section 13(3) which provides that "in unusual and exigent circumstances" the (Fed) may...

And that is the essence of the quagmire that the Republican Party finds itself in. Who is the current leader of the Republican Party??? To watch the Republican Presidential candidates during the primary debates continually ( and fondly ) call upon "Ronald Reagan" ideology is quite telling...

Boost? The only real way to do this is to go out and purchase a higher rated power supply unit, paying specific attention to how the 12V, 5V, and 3.3V rails are rated. Remember, it's not just the overall wattage factor of the unit that is important. It's ALL about the rails!!!

No, because investment bank holding companies were NEVER subject to the net capital rule. Even the broker-dealer subsidiaries of these holding companies were NOT subject to a debt to equity leverage limitation. Instead, they were restricted to holding customer receivables not greater than 50...

I use a Dell T3400 Precision workstation with Windows XP Pro ( 32-bit ) and 4 gigs of RAM. It handles all of my data-feeds with ease.

Actually, you are Wrong. There was a rule of law regarding how we got here. It was called the "Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000". It allowed for the de-regulation of credit default swaps, the Enron "loophole" that gamed the California power grid and threatened the economy of the...

True. And if anyone doesn't have that great of an understanding about the global CDS exposure out there, just take a look at what happened to the markets when LEH went under. Derivatives do not operate in a VACUUM. It's about COUNTER-PARTY RISK!!! I'm amazed a lot of posters here on ET...

Sounds like a great Party! :)

Big build in gasoline inventories. Down we go!

Very true. The dual PCI Express x16 slots support 256mb nVidia NVS-290 video cards that support 4 monitors. The T3400 is subjected to a lot of testing, and comes with incredible scalability. It's a serious piece of hardware. A true "certified" workstation, and not some cheapy plastic...

In regards to Rush Limbaugh . . . I hope you have the intelligence to see the IRONY in your post. 20 years of hate-filled moronic mockery, and a man that hopes that the USA tanks. Your lack of intelligence is appalling.

You mean her Size 8 dress size pales in comparison to Rush's fat ass? :D

The U.S. Government owns 80% of AIG. They (we) are also making 3-month LIBOR + 8.5% on the money that was loaned to AIG. In September of last year, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke used a rarely used statue in banking laws from 1932 to loan money to AIG. This had nothing to do with Congress...

What is it about counter-party risk that you do not understand. The "fall-out" was in the TRILLIONS!

Don't worry. The resident idiot has been pm'ing me daily this past week, as if I actually gave a damn . . . I think he needs professional help.

Meghan McCain slams Ann Coulter: "To make matters worse, certain individuals continue to perpetuate negative stereotypes about Republicans. Especially Republican women. Who do I feel is the biggest culprit? Ann Coulter. I straight up don’t understand this woman or her popularity. I...

FYI: The 40 day MA ( high/low/close ) is coming through at 780.13 This MA provided resistance to the market back in late January and again in early February, before turning the market lower. Stay tuned! :)

True. But what this thread has failed to touch upon is the fact that there are two different methods of extracting bitumen, and each one has different costs. "1. Mining - Large areas of land are cleared of trees and brush, then the top soil and clay are removed to expose the oil sand. This...

Totally false, and wrong again my friend. Barack Obama has never appeared in a San Francisco radio talk show. Obama gave an interview to the San Francisco Chronicle in January of 2008; about 1 year into his Presidential campaign. But no appearance on any radio talk shows in the San...
