    Toxic-Asset Rescue Funds Start

    lol. they mark them at .20 when it's time to get bailout $, but when there's an opportunity to sell them to (essentially) the govt., they're suddenly worth .65 overnight. once they're sold, I'm sure they'll get marked at .10, and the taxpayer will take it as usual: in the ass.

    German WestLB bank sheds 87 bn EUR debt via ‘bad bank’

    ^ that's just the reality of being a taxpayer. you get to pay for everyone else's stuff: 8k toward their new house, new car, college grant, healthcare, etc. AND, you don't qualify for any of those benefits. If you shield some of your income from that bs you're an unamerican avoider of your...

    IMF to Dump Gold!

    IF the chinese are buying it then goldbugs really are fucked. Not that I'm a great investor, but I think China may be the worst investor EVER. China adding to long position at 1000 means gold at 600 or lower withing the next year... lol.

    Brokers and filling illegal orders

    lol! Not to laugh at your misfortune, but that really struck me as funny. How long ago had you entered the order? if you enter it as GTC ("good 'til cancel") it'll just sit there and wait until you physically cancel the order. Other options are for "day," which expire at the end of...

    so WTH is happening to -V/+X; -V/+F, etc? It's all over the dang place. Seems like it spreads 10 cents one day, then converges 10 cents the next... Could the -V be related to the UNG roll??? I thought UNG would be selling V, driving V further down... Or is it just fundamentally driven...

    Peak Water

    difficult to trade... Suez has a water business, I think, but it's a tough business. many places where they've taken over the water utility they've been kicked out after modernizing eevrything. I think water will become by far the most fought over resource ever. it'll make oil driven...

    Treasury loses Money On Chrysler Deal

    This has me all worked up. Not only do they first give a POS company 12B of my money (without asking), then they force the POS into bankruptcy right afterwards, essentially flushing my money (that they gave without asking me) down the toilet. I really shouldn't be upset, since it really...

    Treasury loses Money On Chrysler Deal

    I think debaser is correct in this particular instance (lol, tyring to be careful to not get lumped into the survivalist goldbug camp). It took me a long time to really grasp the true implications of this very simple concept, so I'll write a blurb or two on it, just in case there's someone...

    Outstanding article must read.

    I prefer they spend my tax $ on meaningful R&D than on the other shite they're spending it on now. If they were to re-direct tax $ to this, and ditch all the socialist crap I'd be comfortable with it. if they maintain all the horsecrap spending AND fund this, I'm not comfy with it.

    $787B Toxic Asset Relief Program never bought any Toxic Assets

    Remember how critical it was at the time to approve the $ right away, without any review or understanding of the problem, other wise we'd all be in an earthshattering depression in a week? "Nevermind the due diligence, approve it now!!!" And then they were all patting each other on the back...
