    What 700B can buy you.

    So let's say the government plan is approved and IBs get rid of the bad loans and clear up their books. And let's assume next year is business as usual and Goldman Sacks sets aside a $20B bonus pool to reward the smartness of their employees. I will laugh my guts out.

    By curbing all shorts, the U.S. is manipulating the market

    That is probably the reason they don't want any shorts - so the price discovery is INEFFICIENT. They just want their share price to just go up and up, no matter how they screw up. It would be nice for the government to just pass a law that the price of GS and MS should just double every [fill...

    By curbing all shorts, the U.S. is manipulating the market

    Funny how same IBs were very vocal against any kind of government regulation and preaching self-regulation, when things were rosy, are now begging the government to pass laws to protect them from "irrational" speculators. And it would just make for a nice friday night comedy to watch, if not...

    Question about shorts..

    The stock price is only a reflection of the perceived value of the company. So, why driving the stock price down by "speculators" should drag the company down as well, is beyond my understanding. Why is the stock price important to the balance sheet of a company. Someone explain this to me.

    Tradestation and naked shorting????

    I just got the same message from TradeStation and I was about to post it here. Anyone has any idea what this means? You cannot short anymore without the fear that your position will be closed in 4 days?

    Washington Mutul bank run?

    I doubt it takes only a day or two to get your money from FDIC, more like months, and there will probably be a period of time when the bank's assets will be frozen, and as far as I remember only 100,000 are FDIC insured, but I might be wrong on this.

    Taking 103K to 1.2million by Year End 2008

    What are you talking about. The guy is up 37.7% for the year. That's no small change. Yes, a long way to go to 1,000%, but still good.

    Sat Morning - Anyone else have problems with Tradestation Data?

    Mine not in NYC. It just shows Waiting for data... The server is IL01DS049 - 64.74.235.149. There are two sets of servers on my list, TX (Texas?) and IL (Illionois?). I have TX servers set on top of the list, and then IL, but it just ignores the TX, and then connects to first IL, but no data...

    Problem Understaning the EL Code

    As someone said it before, the decision to buy or sell, is made at the end of the current bar, but only executed the next bar (in this case daily bars), so the bar that shows the executed order will show a different value for the channel, but if you look one bar back (when the order was...

    New Fed Powers

    I would think that the low saving rate in America is a direct effect of low interest rates promoted by the Fed, and loose fiscal policy, and an indirect effect of the asset bubble created by low interest rates. Dumb people would do what makes economic sense. :D As for investment funds...

    Did Bear Stearns execs really get bonuses?

    Well, they must have had some cash handy to pay for those Maseratis and upper east side Manhattan apartments. That is no small change.

    what does Jim Roger have to say about the genocide in Tibet?

    Can't you find a more suitable target to fan out your stupidity? Jim is just a trader, and a very good one for that matter. He made a "small" fortune after all. As for Tibet, read a little history, not just official American propaganda, and you'll see that things are not just black and white...
