Stupid CME quants with their stupid Value-at-risk models.

In Spain, requesting I.D. 's is part of their anti-illegal immigration policies. If no I.D., or Passport shows more than 90 days since last entry and no residence permit, then you go to jail. So the cops now routinely ask for ID to anyone foreign looking. Other european countries do the same thing.

You mean you wouldn't feel safe doing business with RCG? Why?

You could rephrase your question to: what are the least economically socialist countries? While not completely free-market, Switzerland, Panama, Singapore, are currently much better than the EU and the US. Out of these three I like Switzerland's political system, as it's much more...

Hey genious, if you apply Krugman's reasoning then if you increase G then either C, I or both have to go down then there is no effect on Y so you're wrong.

This article is too respectful of Krugman. He's actually a weasel whose claim to fame is saying exactly what the liberal Democrats want to hear, no matter the fallacies, misrepresentation of the facts and blatant lies.

Krugman is a Keynesian-Socialist fool. Bad investments turn out to be bad companies, companies that should not exist. When these companies go broke, a lot of people go out of work hence the increase in unemployment. Anyone remember all those bullshit internet companies from the 90's? They went...

So according to you, Keynesianism and Monetarism have "certain weaknesses and failures" but they are not enough to discredit them. But Austrians; "logical weaknesses" (not real, actually made up by yourself) are enough to "bring it down". Thanks for showing us your bias. You pretend to be...

First they ignored Austrian Economics. Then, after the utter failure of Keynesianism and Monetarism, their leading practitioners leading the world economy to the current mess, they can no longer ignore Austrians. Therefore, they are now attacking them. Instead of attacking Austrians...

If Larry Summers had not fired Jack Meyer, would Harvard have lost so much money?

What kind of Randian destroys the economy with a socialist monetary policy then goes to Congress to say it's all free markets fault. He's like any other big mouthed socialist fool: Krugman, Stiglitz, Uncle Benny..

NQ must go limit down now to get the trifecta ES-YM-NQ.

It will be adopted, in one form or another, at CME at ICE or elsewhere. The Fed is supporting this initiative. I would prefer a separate clearinghouse for futures and credit swaps, I don't want to be worried about clearinghouse default risk.

Interactive Brokers, RCG, GHCO, MF... all futures brokers are at risk.

The Bank of North America, the US first central bank, collapsed in 1875.

You guys have not read the articles. They describe how the crisis has spread to banks that had nothing to do with the subprime-mortgage-credit mess. That a few firms lobbied and twisted the rules for short term profits that is unquestionable, they should've been let to rot in hell and not...
