    China lets state firms default on derivative contracts

    These are Chinese state owned enterprises. Its a default. The ratings agencies should lower China's credit rating as a result. If there is no consequence for this action, then they will do it again in the future. China has defaulted!

    China urging citizens to buy gold & silver

    China pegs its yuan to the dollar. They want a weak dollar, which means a weak yuan, which helps them to sell more to Europe etc.

    The American Dream Built on Debt, Living in Beverly Hills

    Some people like buying a year old used car to take advantage of the big 1st year drop in value. My problem with this is that you don't know how the car was taken care of. The first year can be critical. Many cars traded in after one year are rentals and corporate cars where there is no...

    OEC dead in the water this AM?

    I hope these guys succeed. They have an good value proposition with excellent integrated charts and a wide array of order entry options. What I like is the tight integration, flexibility and not having to have third party products. On the down side they need to have some kind of flashing...

    Bring back debtors prison ........ for bankers. If a bank becomes insolvent, then the executives should serve prison time until any public assistance given (TARP etc.) is repaid. If a bank goes completely belly up and FDIC insurance is used, then prison time is appropriate for the bank...

    Entry into an ES trades almost always cause a one tick loss

    At .25 the ES tick increment is too wide. It was originally .10 (pit contract) and was made .25 to give the pit people arbitrage opportunity (free money). This was done to placate the pit when the electronic contract (ES) came out. It is time to reduce the tick increment on ES to .10 to...

    •Household Incomes in U.S. Fall Most Since Records Began Being Kept

    For the last 30 years, everything for business, nothing for the US worker. The thing is, business no longer cares about what is good for America, they are multinational corporations who "just happen to have a headquarters in the US".

    Paul Tudor Jones

    I think this is right. Just like many fund managers who buy risk management systems more for show than for use. Rich investors want non-volatile returns which is what drove them to Madoff. By the way, I hope you guys know I was fooling around on that other stuff. I do have the tape...

    The missing out-takes I was talking about are on the back of the tape and you have to play it backward.

    Paul Tudor Jones

    It is my understanding that P.T. Jones owns or has an interest in many of these sites. One cannot be assured of what is clean and what is not.

    Paul Tudor Jones

    I have a copy of the original VHS tape. I bought it from Traders Press at a trade show in the early 1990's. What you don't see on the web version is the out-take where P.T. Jones talks about his involvement in the Iran Contra affair and various overseas assassination attempts. It is no...

    POLL: Do you believe you can reasonably anticipate or identify a trend day?

    It seems like any worthwhile thread on ET starts with vehement denunciations and personal attacks against the thread starter. its like clockwork. Perhaps it is a counter intuitive way to determine which threads to spend time reading. Identifying trend days is one of the most important...

    A reason for Manufacturing to come back to the US

    Unions are insignificant in most states. However if you have a lot of uneducated, stupid people it will cost more to train them.

    A reason for Manufacturing to come back to the US

    The bankers should be encouraging US production and jobs. That is the only thing that is going to save their bacon.

    Paul Tudor Jones

    The "six to eight years of pain" that Tudor talked about are what is going to happen now. He was early. 1987 was only the first push of the great bull movement.
