That place is hardly a secret you could feel/hear the dynamite halfway across the damn city when they were building it.

Great article and discussion makloda. I would not underestimate China's determination and ambition on the world stage. I certainly would not put manipulating data and spreading propaganda exaggerating the actual efficiency of the Chinese economy off the table...

That's interesting, which commodities ETF's are you observing skew on?

Just what we need, congress running NCAA football. I can see it now, this time when Michigan gets upset by Appalachian State they will be deemed too systemically important to lose and declared the winner.

It is a way to enforce strong security. Some users left to their own devices will invariably have lax password security practices and get their account compromised. From IB's perspective it is an "ounce of prevention" type thing.

My apologies if it has been posted already but did anyone else see this today - "Fed study puts ideal US interest rate at -5%"...

If you are going to trade an account get a non-margin account; use the inverse etf's to short. Do not give yourself the remote possibility of falling for the siren song of high win % terrible risk-reward options plays. Always think of preserving capital first; I inherited some money as well...

I think it's actually 100 million. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=arpboGtENwqk&refer=us

What does he care he knows he will be long dead and gone when those come due.

Because without the war there is not 50 - 60 million less people competing for the same set of resources. There is not all the wasted material and bombed out cities that need to be rebuilt. Historically, a massive die off relieves pressure on competition for finite resources, an example would...

Log into account management and go to tools. There is a short stock availability tool that tells you recent borrowing costs as well.

Definitely it is the cost to borrow, it will usually end up costing you more money than you could make, unless your broker somehow has cheap shares to short that no one else does which doesn't make sense to me because someone would be losing money somewhere. These could be helpful if you held...

Set up a charitable foundation and have your kids run it. That is how the actual rich people (billionaires) keep money in the family.

I do find it pretty hard to believe that nobody else in the FP division knew about the CDS' being written and the potential for disaster that they posed besides the people directly involved. I think this is a case of while the good times are rolling and bonuses are big I'll put my head in the sand.

What there is to mull over here in the PRM (People's Republic of Maryland) if you are a tried and true Maryland dem "public servant" is how to best not offend your illegal immigrant/bleeding heart limousine liberal/welfare recipient constituency. Plus they are really busy keeping track of the...

I agree, especially when the market in question already has so many elements of politics affecting it. Thanks for the civil conversation.

I think we are just going to have to agree to disagree. While I certainly agree that the money going to you versus the bank would be better for the economy overall I see a proposal like this putting an artificial floor in housing prices. Isn't this across the board low rate going to be priced...

So your idea of making money honestly is having the government lower your mortgage to an arbitrarily low rate so you (and I don't mean you specifically, as I have no idea of your personal situation, but people in general) can keep an investment you never should have made? That's an honest...

Great logic there. You know I wanted to be a professional baseball player when I was a kid should the Yankees give me a contract even though I clearly don't have the skills?
