Banks had MEGA profits from AIG payouts as well as sale of AIG assets WAY below market. Sell AIG assets to WFC GS BAC C JPM @ way below market value = poof! Instant profits! Taxpayers take it up the ass once again as AIG is currently 80% owned by us. What a sham.

Buying power = the total maximum $ amount of all OPEN trades. You can buy and sell to your hearts content all day long. Close one trade, open another. It could add up to millions on a 25k account depending how active you are. If your open total trade $ amount becomes higher than available...

Love to believe it, but Citi is the biggest contra indicator out there.

Wow - last week or so it was implied that GM would not need any more money. Now this. JPM started a rally saying they will be profitable for the Q - then Dimon comes out and says March was awful. Meh - bye bye rally. I SO want to be a bull but this is bullshit.

bad for C / GREAT for bond and preferred holders. PRU and MET should benefit. They got taken to the wood shed on fears of nationalization.

Yah - but clarity on whats going to happen could give relief to other SKF components

Thanks for the info on PNC - I'll stay away. Still hard to imagine that at this point there aren't a few solid buys. I'm just starting my own research, paying for some wouldn't be a bad idea. Sticking with my own for the time being.

I think you mean UBS - wouldn't touch it.

I agree- those areas were hit by crude. Dubai is a ghost town

did they buy NCC outright or just assets?

C screwed, BAC probably, COF dead. But amidst the maimed and dead there have to be survivors that will benefit from this mess. And at this point it looks like ALL banks have been thrown out. The proverbial baby with the bath water. I don't like the monster big banks. I like BBT MTB...

I learned a lesson shorting oil too early. Knew the pig was overvalued and still got my nuts chopped off. Super spike to 200 my ass. Lost 20% and couldn't take the heat as it continued to rise. (recouped much more later :cool: ) Wait for down trend to develop.

I sent emails to the fed requesting that TARP funds be used to set up a new, healthy, bank. Let the old banks die. Let people pull there deposits and put them in the new bank. Bernanke said depression caused because banking failed. If we set up a new bank we're still in business. Let the...

$1165 Stopped out of a couple shorts early. grrr scalped around 500 share lots.

We're having the best Cod (non commercial) season in many years here in LI, NY. The regulations and restrictions on Cod definitely are helping rebuild stocks. Two years ago I saw numbers of juveniles - they are now in the 8-12 lb range. Back in the 80's the Striped Bass was believed to be...

What do you think? I have thoughts - and will post later.

Sparked a nice bounce today - Can this even be done? Would it be legal? Isn't this type of behavior what got us into trouble in the first place? Hellooo reality What about transparency? I did a refi near the top of the bubble, didn't cash out. The appraiser said my house was worth...

I vote thinkorswim, if you have a real time data feed, ninjatrader has a paper trading mode.

Strictly daytrade margin account here. Any interest i have paid on using margin has been more than compensated by interest paid me on overnight cash positions. Interest paid has been very very little.
