We're talking long term rates here, besides QE2 attempt, the Fed doesn't fix long term rates.

US Army comes second after bondholders, so they are also fully covered and protected in this mess. Failure to a reach a compromise deal is actually best for the Army because any spending cutting bill will neccessarily touch some military spending.

Another reason no deal is bullish: foreign investors looking to place money in the US will have no other place than equities due to treasuries' low yields.

Washington Annoyed at Wall Street's Failure to Panic Democrat source: "Frankly, a bit of panic would be very helpful right now," (to convince Republicans to vote for a debt ceiling hike) "Every day we wake up and think that stocks will send a shock up to Capitol Hill. And every day nothing...

Moody's: No plan protects AAA rating, but there will be no default is there's no deal. "the nation will only default if it misses an interest or principal payment on U.S. debt, not if it misses payments on other obligations like federal employee salaries or Social Security benefits." "If...

If the debt ceiling is not lifted, the treasury has enough revenue to service US debt, and the Constitution guarantees bondholders will get paid first. US bonds will become a limited supply commodity and that's why treasuries are not selling off. They will become more expensive driving interest...

Actually the 2nd most important factor after taxes is the internet fiber optics backbone, and AFAIK Miami is far better located than Chicago, resulting in lower latency for CME products worldwide. For NY traders there will be almost no difference, and west coast traders will be a little worse off.

Thanks so much for this useful link, but still not as good as the old futuresource. Also, I wonder if there's a way to change the bar color from green to black or dark blue.

I wonder what happened to those who subscribed and actually paid for futuresource premium... shafted big time. Will they subscribe to quotrek or esignal? I wouldn't give my money to those scummy esignal people. In trading, platform stability is everything, you can't change your chart layouts...

There's a link "Contact Us" at page bottom http://futuresource.quote.com/help/contact.html And yes, that website has Acapulco-dived in quality last friday. It was probably the best professional-looking futures trader-quality financial quotes and charting web page out there, with barchart.com...

LOL, exactly. That region in fact used to be the most protectionist in the world up to the 1930's, and they were dirt poor already. Now some lobbyists and their economists spin doctors are using the current recession as excuse to apply 3rd world economic policies in the USA, and you know...

Yep, that's pretty accurate, as of right now. But they didn't get poor with these rates, you should review their trade policy in the seventies and eighties, and how their poverty hit bottom in the eighties in the midst of highly protectionist and statist economic policies. Now they are more...

This guy is pumping protectionism and statism. He says South Korea got rich with them. Maybe, I don't know, but for each protectionism success story, there are tens of abject failure stories. To give an example, what is the preponderant economic philosophy of latin american countries? you got...

People leave Detroit because of its high crime rate. No normal immigrant would want to live there. On the other hand, if the russian, sicilian or columbian mob is allowed to move there without police interference they would clean the place in one week. They might even turn Detroit into the...

Please someone send a sample search proving that Bing is better than Google? In my case, I still find Google better example search: e-mini futures Top Google search result: www.cmegroup.com 10/10 Top Bing search result: e-mini-futures.com WTF?

The question is if those accounts have bank secrecy, and, if the US will be able to bully China into banishing bank secrecy for americans just like they have been able to do it to Switzerland, Panama, Uruguay, and the Caribbean offshore havens.

Turn off javascript, problem solved. Have another browser for the few worthwile websites that need javascript and flash, like YouTube. Avoid all other time-wasting websites with bloatware scripts and flash ads. Personally I do most browsing with javascript-off and ActiveX plugins-off. I...
