Whats worse than Bernanke speaking are the incredibly retarded questions that are thrown at him. It makes me wonder if they would even pass a basic business course at a MBA program. They are simply pandering to their constituents... To think Obama/Pelosi and these people are going to "save"...

It wouldn't suprise me if the board gave perks to mutual fund managers who were heavy investors in PLA... at least before the meltdown

awesome surf.. nice find.

Why do you think Obama is winning this election? Obama is playing to the poor and jobless crowd (students and welfare recipients) Many middle class families need to make more than 200k to survive. Their supporters are a bit scary if you ever run into them on the streets. Could you...

Cutten, why would you use the ES as a model? You are simply giving a lot of credit to Buffet when credit is not deserved in this case. He is simply buying into certain companies in the S&P. Why don't you use the share price of HIS company? So lets say for the record you are long 113000 of...

You stole my thoughts.. 100% agree!

I am actually a supporter of Aaron and would like to follow in his footsteps in some ways.. But why should anyone invest in a fund that is competing with larger players who have a team of PHd's that would likely destroy any edge you have on the quant side? Seems like this is a recipe for...

You absolutely get 60/40 if you are a member. Many of my friends on the floor would be in a rage if they didn't. However, when obama's socialist economics takes over capitalism, there will be no need to work anymore when you can get a steady welfare check.

Yeah but nobody cares since CNBC is the market leader. Its much like how MSNBC re-inventing itself by becoming a radical leftist media outlet in attempt to "compete" with Fox. Just a few years ago, they were thinking about dissolving MSNBC all together. Even though MSNBC doesn't get...

Very, very worried about the socialist policies the US is heading for in the next 4/8 years. Assuming we have a down economy for some time, the only way we can pay for stimulus payments/ future bailouts, and other spending programs is by printing money. While I can't speak for the Yen...

The Euro SHOULD be falling apart.. but really feel that the Pelosi and obama team should continue to give away free money either way of "Stimulus" payments or spending agendas. The only way they can pay for the programs is essentially to inflate the USD.. Despite the looming recession in...

too funny:p

I don't know why people think it is so hard to get gold. I have used these guys in the past.. and never seem to "sell out." But I can't seem to get my hands on any platinum right now. http://www.bulliondirect.com/catalog/selectProducts.do?cat=Bullion_Gold&category=3...

Anyone find the dow minis a tad bit illquid today?! I cant even imagine how the Obama/Pelosi Transaction tax will literally kill most of the liquidity across the board.

I would hope you have some proof on that before they come after you for slander. (esp in this market climate when getting a subpoena to find your IP address is childsplay to their counsel.)

you just insulted bob costas :p

He said on CNBC he would consider taxing wall street participants and support a TRANSACTION FEE. I would hate to see what his re-election plans are when his name is in the spotlight when the market crashes if this fee ever makes it though.
