    Greece struggles under EUR 7 bn drug debt to Europe's health care companies

    So that's how they get their pharma drugs for a "good price," the ol' five-finger discount! :D

    FYI Cramer rates C a buy

    Didn't Citi just jettison Phibro, one of the few things inside the company that actually made them money? Hundreds of millions. Also, isn't their structure as a "financial supermarket" now under threat by the specter of a neo-Glass-Steagall? Relative to other financials, how is this a better...

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    Can someone point to some quick bullet points/main ideas why we're against this. I tend to be long winded and well horrible at such things. The reason why I'm asking is I am fighting trying to get our message across. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. :)

    Emission futures, anyone??

    Is anyone trading these things on Globex? With all the talk at Copenhagen and "cap 'n' trade", is anyone aware if these contracts are moving at all? Can individual traders partake or is this something for the elites? The margins seem reasonable for the carbon emission reduction futures, but is...

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    Jeeze, going through the comments, I scratch my head. Did you see the one about basing it on the time you own the stock and then making it 10x if you hold it for a "short time"? Idiots.

    The Morse Code for Dealing with Market Makers and Specialists

    Frankly I thought it was kinky! Never would've figured to do that with a Swedish air stewardess and a chicken.

    People with degrees making 13 bucks an hour

    American diaspora down the road, that's what I'm beginning to see. We can't promise that our kids or their kids will have a respectable life. Already some of my friends decided to go overseas to make their living. Don't be surprise, like immigrants in the past coming here, that our...

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    Same garbage, only DeFazio went on to detail about how investors and others won't be hurt. DeFazio then went on about how we had the tax in the past and nothing bad happened to the market. Shultz, then DeFazio then tag teamed on the whole job building part. They kinda weren't that pushy on...

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    They got an evening host, Ed Shultz, on MSNBC. He had DeFazio on today. Shultz is making this damn tax his big thing now. Thank heaven MSNBC has low ratings.

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    What if this "trader tax" is really a setup for something else? The government has been spending a boatload of money. It has a lot of entitlements coming due. I don't have to repeat the rest, you all know what I mean with regards to that. This got me thinking, what if this is a cover for...

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    Correct me here if I'm wrong. DeFazio's attempts really are a non-factor domestically. The only way here in the US his bills get done is if he can find more congressmen on the Hill and outside of Congress more Judases (Cramer) and academics and traditional lefty supporters (SEIU). But that the...

    You know, if we could get this turkey removed, it would be one less major dagger pointed our way.

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    Was flipping through the channels, MSNBC came up and they started talking about this on the Ed Show. He basically thinks this is the cat's meow. The look on his eyes, like he found a buried treasure when kept utter that 100 billion mark. They had on a congresssman from New York I believe. He...

    I think I noticed something.

    Probably make it easier for some future left-leaning government to nationalize the industry this way.

    A Young American working in China factory

    he's one smart kid. Full immersion, perhaps pick it up faster? He's smart in that, outside of expenses, he's essentially getting paid to learn Chinese! When this bright young man is done at the Chinese Bicycle factory, I suspect he may see various job offers. Well assuming that his full...

    A Young American working in China factory

    there's a photo of this kid where he sees the person with the camera. But my favorite part is where the author translates that banner in the background. Very truth telling indeed! <i> He suddenly saw my camera, and a look of loss and bewilderment. I quickly recorded this expression...
