True, except for the extent to which they represent democracy since Palestinians have always been denied equal rights including the right to vote.

Great post Pabst! As always, you sure know how to put the dots on the i's when people don't get it.

My approach is what I would call intermarket logic to derive the markets perspective on fundamentals. I don't care about the fundamentals per se, but how markets view them and <b>reevaluate</b> them. I launched a blog this week on the internet that will eventually show my line of reasoning...

One would normally think that bonds erased early losses yesterday because stocks were falling and bonds had to go up, but looking accross maturities it looked like long-term bonds and not the short end was responsible for the afternoon rally. This means that a boost of popularity for the dollar...

Thanks you! Great posts.

Four people involved. So it also happens here, more often than we think. I got your point Pabst.

I find it very unfortunate that they put lottery and poker in the same bag. Poker requires judgement (it's an intellectual activity) and is constantly shown on TV, in various formats so different people can learn it in different ways. Laws should also take into account traditions and culture...

Woaw, are you still making money with poker on-line? I normally wouldn't ask such a personal question but I just think it's pretty cool. Also, I had to post something quick so that my total number of posts wouldn't be 666 anymore. I'm a bit superstitious.

Also, bonds failed to make substantial gains yesterday (Monday) while conditions where perfect for a rally.

Yeah, that would be a little bit much. But, if those rumors are true, I'm glad Zidane responded the way he did. T'as bien fait Zizou!

Really. Not sure what dooo's point was.

Bought 30 yrs put options, betting that bonds are about to resume their downward trend.

Gli italiano si sono troppo stancati durante la prima metta, ma imagino che questo fa parte del loro gioco energico. Dopo, gli francesi erano capace di conservare il pallone con mooolta calma durante quasi tutto il tempo migliorando poco a poco la loro attaca. Pensavo veramente che stavano per...

She co-stars with Gregory Peck in Roman Holiday. Can't go wrong with that one!

You mean will I join the insurgency? No, but other people will. For that kind of reason. They will become insurgents that have nothing to do with al-Qaeda's motives but will be put in the same bag by the media you despise so much.

Oh, yeah, war. How many US civilians have been killed by Iraqis?

I was expecting the "More people die in L.A. ..." argument to surface eventually. Then, how often in the United States do we hear about 4+ guys raping a teenager; killing her father, mother and 5 year old sister in the process? Moreover, how would you react if 4 illegal immigrants, i.e...

Sam, How differently should the media have covered this "incident" (as you call it)?

Stocks were very oversold and had strong support/protection so they would have been able to take the 50 bps blow and shortly after celebrate the decline in oil prices that we would have seen. We saw strong support the day they bounced back when a bad CPI report was released. There were no more...

Somebody speaking from the heart and rationally. Thanks for your explanations indahook.
