    Bad Bank Plan on Thursday!

    US banks are good -they make a lot of money, especially at interest rates at 0. They have consumers by the balls and they are able to squize the last dollar to be sure. I doubt you can create a better bank from scrach. The question is who's going to pay for develeraging and what regulations...

    Bad Bank Plan on Thursday!

    "They have to do a bad bank," Harvard Economics Professor Ken Rogoff said. But "if that's all they do then it's idiotic." This administration needs to get fundations right and I seriously doubt they worry what market does short term. Anyway, I bet that administration would favor direct...

    i've searched thru all of ET for scalping threads...

    Scalping is the good place to start. Don't go random at it - make educated guess based on the 25 tick/3 minute/15 minute charts. You'll also need level 2 data to get the unnecessary guess work out of the equation.

    Anyone have any information about this firm?

    Being curious since you mentioned he was Polish I checked out the site: The about page features a photo of a small room with CRT(!) monitors, cheap desks and large bottle of Aquafina - propably the free refreshment. If the above photo is true I would say it cannot be a scam because...

    From my observations: price up/volume up near resistance = do not short price up/volume up past resistance = breakout price up/volume down = consolidation or reversal price down/volume up = price down/volume down = Above two are better figured out based on how many are sold at bid...

    Look at this vile propaganda from GM

    Auto industry is too big and inefficient. I'm for 25bl bailout (it would take propably more) only to use it to dismentle half of it - otherwise you'll watch the same video next year.

    Look at this vile propaganda from GM

    All looks like obvoius lies, but the last point got me thinking for a while. Threat to security seemed serious until I recalled this is not 1950 and we are not into tanks and heavy artilery. Precision guided missles and economic sanctions is the name of the game. In addition they import more...

    You make a very good point. Why would anyone force people like you to have children is simply incomprehensive. Children require parent's wormth and patience and dedication (not to mention money) which some pople do not have and should not be forced to become parents.

    Gaming Industry

    This company has not been tested by bad news yet. At 21 PE I would stay away unless you believe that people do not cut on spending on entertaiment during depression. (I read somewhere that cinemas did not suffer during 30's)
