I really don't see the problem. I'm sure the government thought of this before they acted so I assume there really is no problem with this. The pres commands the armed forces. He says blow shit up, shit gets blown up. Righteous!

They're a bunch of whiny pissants imo. There is no law that says you cannot revolt. Furthermore when some groups finally get up and get mad they do so in favor of their own special interest lobbies (teacher's unions), not a just, fair and equal treatment of all. Nobody really cares about...

It's not a war if all you do is sabotage some equipment on the other side. Do you think that the US has a declared war on every country that it's fucking with at any given time? Of course it's not with tomahawks or w/e, but rest assured, shit is being blown up all the time without any...

It's not a war, it's mostly a humanitarian aid mission; the US is not intervening in the war of the rebels vs. Gadaffi, is not attacking Gadaffi's forces. They've merely destroyed some AA installations with long range bombs and instated a no-fly zone in order to prevent Gadaffi from bombing...

Well, the new short-term uptrend is definitely getting interrupted. Still huge potential for both sides. Boats are being loaded both long and short here. If the stuff breaks away from here a retest of the lows (or something in that general direction) is quite likely. Just look at where the...

You'd be better of considering how and if this situation may escalate. What if Syria and/or Iran suddenly starts backing Gadaffi because their own populations are starting to riot and they don't want the US to interfere once they start cracking down on rebels? They're definitely axis of evil...

Well, what often happens with these kind of things (a rather hefty decline in the face of seemingly huge problems, in particular after a long rally which has lasted two years, or the last leg almost half a year and has had no large pullbacks really) is that the market will continue to sort out...

:o You mean to say this does not happen in speculative markets? I think the "price discovery" of commodities would disagree with you strongly. This effect certainly happens also in speculative markets. Look at all the cotton farmers who are hamstering their harvest.

In the SPY vs SPX argument it's quite simple. For the trade as a whole If (Spread + Commissions)SPY < (Spread + Commissions)SPX Then trade SPY Else trade SPX Also it depends on how likely it is you get filled quickly (enough) if you offer lower or bid higher than the existing liq...

Bidless? I don't think so. You people are making a big fuss. The trend in USD.JPY has been down forever. Any forex trader who knows anything is not long this thing anyway. Why the fuck would you try to catch a bottom on this thing is my question, especially now? Can't imagine anyone has...

If you want to make the comparison, whoever is selling those straddles now would be the one blowing up mr. Leeson instead of the one getting blown up.

Not really, markets may not have bottomed just yet (but it's quite likely they have although a retest of the panic lows (although this is kind of a weak panic still) is usually in order). As always I am talking about the European markets here which are hit harder than US (I still don't see why...

Afaik the last resort containment (there are three, none of which have failed so far to the best of my knowledge) containment has a melting point which is higher than the temperature of the core could possibly be (at this point or any other afaik) so I don't see how this could happen.

I don't really see how this is possible. From what I understood if worst comes to worst they basically can do in 10 seconds what took weeks (or whatever) to create in Chernobyl, namely isolate the bad parts (whatever they are, I guess the core?). Seems to me that they are not doing this only...

Wtf guys, there really isn't a radiation problem in Japan apart from in the very direct vicinity of the plant(s). No problems in Tokyo whatsoever either. Edit: Also by "whatsoever" I mean that there's a slightly elevated level of radiation at the moment, nothing that would be damaging to...

Yes, you are not wrong about the basic fact, but they are at the bottom because of their lack of access to facilities that those who outrank them have access to (on average) such as a neighbourhood where there isn't gunfire every day and parents that offer motivation for good things (school...

Right. Only it's because we have retards such as yourself and not because there are factual differences between people of different races. The whole thing has to do with environment (and also the environment of the ancestors). The things you mentioned are mostly caused by economic inequality...

Word. I googled it and it basically states that a number of African countries' inhabitants are, on average, clinically retarded? As in too dumb to form coherent sentences etc. While I am sure many are not educated properly and therefore underdeveloped, I'm not for a second going to believe that...

Yes I don't think the bottom is in yet. However I also think the S&P500 will make a new 52wk high within a month or so from now, or at least test the top. Capitulation is a bit much. Maybe on the next leg down, as it never really tends to happen on the very first attempt.
