socialized capitalism -- privatized profits, socialized losses. :)

rise/run, you have to determine the period.

how did I know it was another myminitrading thread :)

While I'm trading this market (meaning I was long coming into it) I wouldn't be surprised later if there was some sort of executive decree or some homeland security reason the government needs to be able to set the BLS numbers by their adjustments. OTOH a very good day for me, but Beaker is...

this is like complaining about Wal-Mart when your a small shop.

Technically, he could have inherited it, invested elsewhere, sold books (?) But I agree since it implies that he earned it from trading.

Hi, I changed my mind please erase this post. Thanks.

this sounds interesting. I'm probably going to order it to check it out. If indeed it does disclose the information promised, I think it will be a real hit! PS I'm not TimSykes wannabe nor friend (actually I hate how he clogs up ET), but if indeed its knowledge that isn't the same rehashed...

damnit :p

if they would just cut to 0% we could enjoy unlimited prosperity!!

Hi, The arguement is that the FED controls short rates and long rates are set by the markets. Since the FED can print as much money as it wants, why cant it buy/sell long bonds and therefore set those rates? (At least for short periods of time) Ie even if foreign money exits our...

It was a big mistake. The ideal to reflate a deflating bubble isn't winning; plus its really hard to do. We've already done it once, its virtually impossible to do it again. It just prolongs the pain.
