The basis of conservatives on corporate stock ownership is that the stock holders should be the ones who should choose the rules within the company. However, in reality everybody knows stockholders have no power what so ever. Look at guys like carl ichan he can buy millions of shares, but it...

this is why the markets keep repeating history. Remember at the beginning of the year everybody said if we tried todo reform now it would cause a depression. We should wait till the storm has calmed. Now the stormed has pass everybody now saids we should have done it then. People have short...

I was wondering what you guys think of putting up pictures and names of wallstreet lobbyiest online. I was wonder how many people would lobby for wallstreet if they knew people knew they lobbyied for them. After the Aig/fnm/fre debacle at the beginning of the year, i wouldnt want to be out...

Im surprise the sec hasnt monitored instant messages, emails, and electronic communications for insider trading. alot of the crimes committed today by the under 50 crowd is done through there now. And alot of traders to get around the recorded messages throught brokers use skype type, internet...

I had a friend who use to work for the sec, and he told me that its alot harder to go after the biggies, even if you had evidence b/c they bring down everything on you. And if you lose it gets personal, that they would use their political clout to make you unable to rise in the sec. and if you...

Over the last 10 years, it seems like the SEC only goes after politically and economically unconnected people. Or people of non caucasion backgrounds. Ie the hong kong couple who traded on the dow chem news, that sri lankan hedgie, the bar tender who traded on news he overheard, etc. And this...

It would make sense. Wallstreet wouldnt be here right now, if the people didnt bail them out.

they have the right to demand settlement, till tuey change it to a cash settlement contract, its their right. if you cant handle it, then why did you sold those contracts in the first place, and why didnt you hedge. Your a bank, and after all of the derivitive scandals of the last year, you...

I was wondering why is goldman still allowed to trade like a non bank. Shouldnt their leverage be way way way lower right now,and their capital way way way higher.

does anybody think oil prices are slipping, and the oil cartels are now allowing a crisis in iran to happen now to support oil prices. Even russia and china are allowing it to happen now b/c they spent so much when oil was over 100, they would rather push iran to the brink then lose 10's of...

I was wondering if anybody knows this guy and what his real story is? Apparrently he was a pretty good wallstreet trader and he was laid off. did he lose all his money, just spent to much or what. why is he an icecream man now...

i was just pontificating, does the stock maket automatically go up if the economy fully recovers.

well the dems owe the teamsters and unions some stuff right. they want healthcare, and its easy to pick on china. The republicans who matter wont dare jump on this because it would infuriate their poor people wing of the party.

lol when will the world learn. Trade rules only apply to everybody else, not americans. In canada, we had a trade dispute with the us,it went to nafta. We won the dispute. But the united states refused to recognise the nafta ruling. Lesson learn, rules only apply to everybody, except the...

lol ehhh, what can we do. All we can do is trade with it and let it fly.

Maria bartimono and Larry kudlow just first bump after they both questioned whats wrong with a boom and bust economy. Hmmmmm where were they the last year :)

LOL the people who run the firms now dont care if 40 years from now, due to advances in sciences and technology proves that global warning due to human influences is proven correct. But similar to the ciggarrette companies back in the 40 and 50's who knew that smoking caused cancer and other...

Im in canada, so all of tthis only applies to americans right. even thought your an investment advisor in canada,manager etc it only applies to americans and you can say your a non professional since your not registered in any american jurisdiction. If I'm a professional trader, can I use...
