    Presidential Bait and Switch

    And in order to do that you allow the interest on the purchase of capital equipment to be written-off immediately instead of over the life of the equipment. Ever wonder why the financial service industry has grown so much over the last 20 years? It's because they are allowed to write-off...

    Trading Tax Would ‘Decimate’ Markets, NYSE’s Niederauer Says

    You are quite ignorant. DeFazio has been proposing this legislation since 2000. It has nothing to do with paying for the TARP - - - which the last time I checked was an "investment" by taxpayers whose returns won't be known for at least 5 years . . . Hence, everyone can see right through his...

    How cheap is 500 for the S&P 500 (price/earnings)?

    Cheap compared to what? What metrics are you looking to use for your comparison? About 2 months ago the "top down" estimate for the S&P 500 earnings for 2009 was at $42.24 I would suggest that we are now heading for a number that is closer to $30 than $40, and that would be similar to...

    Ewj: elliott wave

    Bears keep looking for today's rally to fail, but every time there is a pullback, it is met with buying and more short-covering . . . pushing this market into higher ground.

    Ewj: elliott wave

    BEIGE BOOK RELEASED at 2PM Provided a "dip" and then yet another surge. Another small A-B-C completed at 72.02 SPY? Took the earlier highs out by .07 and then came off.

    Ewj: elliott wave

    Lots of oversold stocks out there ( and sectors ). Take a look at the defense sector. LMT, LLL, GD, NOC, etc. These things could run a bit here.

    Coal & Drillers

    Understood Papa. Nat-Gas does provide a cheaper substitute. But 3-straight months of manufacturing gains in China ( announced today ) along with JOYG re-affirmation of 2009 guidance have the COAL GROUP soaring today. They are one of the greatest ( if not THE greatest ) trading sectors in...

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    Someone should ask DeFazio point blank, why it is that he continues telling anyone that will listen that WE need to pay for TARP with this transaction tax, when the fact of the matter is that he has been proposing this tax since 2001 with a Representative from Minnesota. He's lying about his...

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    Meanwhile, CNBC commentator Rebecca Jarvis couldn't even pull her head out of her arse long enough to ask some rather BASIC questions . . . Why not ask him why he fails to make a distinction between Wall Street and INVESTORS on "Main Street" that will be taxed on their IRA trades/investments...

    Coal, Steel, Nat-Gas, Off-Shore Drillers . . . all rallying STRONGLY from oversold levels. Firm close in crude, albeit on short-covering due to API inventory numbers out after the close. April Crude +1.50 $41.60

    Bernanke Testimony

    By the way, all sorts of questions about AIG and yet not one question about tax policy, not even by the Republican reps. Not even a comprehensive discussion about the TALF. Unreal.

    Bernanke Testimony

    I think that point is rather obvious. You get what you get.
