much of the above would require more thought than i care to devote to it, but these policies and others provide at least the whiff of a possibility that we experience a fiscal crisis: bank's mis marking illiquid assets, overleveraged lending out hundreds times what they have on deposit, along...

"well on the basis fox news covered the iraq war on a completely biased non professional basis i would avoid their business channel and related at all costs." not sure there is an unbiased news source. it's certainly not CNN, which are along with the NYT, are as biased as FOX or anyone else...

they hire the best, so they have to pay the best, and they don't even do that. they are losing some heavy hitters to hedge funds, was a huge article in the WSJ recently about one guy in particularly. impressive firm. i made it through the first 6 interviews, but not the rest of the way for a...

like it or not, me thinks cramer is dictating fed policy. put another way, would we have gotten the 50bps cut without kudlow and cramer going ballistic every day?

looking to get the exact same setup. just plug in a monitor/enabled tv and you can extend your desktop. after plugging in, go to control panel - appearance and themes - settings tab - extend monitor the harder part is finding a monitor to carry with you. haven't figured out how to get the...

no horse in this race, but they have been moving higher the last few months mostly on positive reviews of their line of 9 designer boots and shoes (i had the same inkling to short before reading that). personally, they look ugly to me and it could well be a short, but if you're shorting just...

those guys are real traders who have made their living out of the markets, unlike 90% of the sheep they put on there everyday. one worked with soros, another was/is the top crude oil trader in the world, which alone should command some respect. i wish they had more traders and hedge fund...

their leverage isn't good. 10:1 and 2:1 overnight. higher if doing pairs. good leverage is kind of rare these days. rates were .004 +- ecn fees a while ago.

yeah, curious to hear an update about vegas high rise sales. kerkorkian just bought project city center and there are dozens of high rises going up, although some have been cancelled. it seems the well funded casino projects are doing well, building fast, while the others like turnberry are...

quite confusing out there. if taking liquidity, how do you route your orders on nyse and nasdaq? generally, i look at the book and try to route directly, but there has to be a better way. spray orders? is there one that will hunt for dark orders. what if you just want to market out? do you...

.the hedge fund lost the money on what was a good trade, but they were just early, and over leveraged themselves. so now they pawn off the losses on the prime broker and file a lawsuit. sure, why not? they have nothing to lose the way our court system is set up. even if there's only a 10%...

could be mistaken, but pretty sure there is a type of go along order or married order that a floor broker uses. it will divide the liquidity with buy orders (sell orders) coming to the market.

how come you can always see their big bellies hanging out when they're sleeping on the street. meanwhile poor africans can use cheerios as hoola hoops.

the primary reason for our higher costs (in addition to lawsuits) is that the pharma companies make the bulk of their profits in the US, as other countries have price controls. in effect, the US subsidizes most of the Research and Development costs of drug companies, and the rest of the world...

depends how long you want to go back and which instruments. opentick.com is the least expensive at the moment (just exchange fees)

the question is, what is the best way to exploit the values that will be created should it reach desparate levels? foreclosure homes don't have leverage, you have to pay cash from my understanding. fixing up houses isn't going to work if people can't take out the loans to fix them up. plus...

obama references a guy in his book who was his best friend and one of the few black people in hawaii at his HS. so researches found him, and he turned out to have since been arrested a bunch of times for drug related charges. there's no mention of obama being in his life during those periods of...

sounds like the above are talking about something like these: http://cableorganizer.com/wire-loom/

resetting up and the multiple computers, screens, monitors, and router all come with multiple cables, which makes the office look awful. are there better ideas than twisty tie type solutions?
