Lobbies, corruption and campaign ads couldn't exist without a government, and hence, in an anarchist system. Not saying Austrians are anarchists, but do you realize the obvious contradiction in what you're saying?? As a matter of fact all kind of corruption get worse the more powerful is the...

All tick f*ckers got literally f*cked october last year and quit for a while. They have been returning slowly during the last few months.

I think Austrians do not believe in proscribing fractional-reserve banking, they are against making it mandatory and government-protected. It's like casinos. Austrians are not going to ban casinos not deny your basic right to go to a casino if you want to. But Austrians are definitely...

Most critics of the Austrian School of Economics share a common trait which is they don't really know what it says, they just know is contrary to their prejudices, most likely, of the marxist, keynesian or monetarist variety. Austrians are not against all forms of taxation, or even...

This is all keynesian self-delusion and wishful thinking if not a flat out lie. Bubbles, specially housing bubbles always lead to depression, period. Historically, all attempts to avoid depressions after a bubble have failed and the cure ended up making the disease worse. Taxpayers are being...

sjfan hasn't realized in his years of PhD studies that an economist "empirical test" is not the same thing as "scientific test" in the sense of Karl Popper. An economist "empirical test" is really a "data fitting test", while a real "scientific test" is a test for a theory's ability to predict...

As a matter of fact, yes, economists are stealing my money and giving it to Wall St bankers, specially those working at the Fed and the Treasury.

sjfan is like any ignorant arrogant mainstream keynesian-monetarist economist. They are so arrogant and full of it they have expropriated the labels of "science" and "falsifiable" without really deserving either. First of all, mathematics is not science and it's not science just because...

I like Ergotron. High quality stands. http://www.ergotron.com/

Some of the banks rated as safest in 2007 by Global Finance had to be rescued last year. http://www.gfmag.com/archives/36-36-october-2007/997-features--the-worlds-safest-banks-2007.html #6 UBS #7 Lloyds TSB #11 CITIBANK :D :D #14 Jerome Kerviel's Socie'te' Ge'ne'rale #24 Bank of America...

A little less liquid than when it was on globex, but quite tradable. Volume is on average just a little less than YM's, and roughly half the NQ's. It hasn't lost its personality at all, it's still the ES's crazy little brother. This morning for example, ES with $5600 full margin, it had a 12...

In the 80s/20s correlation chart scene I get the impression he's careful not to show the other charts to the camera. What about the little pieces of paper all over the place.. must be price levels or something.

Add this one to your list guys. http://rapidshare.de/files/47977633/PTJ.rar.html Actually the avi file from these torrent/downloading sites has better video quality than youtube's, maybe good enough for TVs and flat screens. Could be worth it burning a DVD with it. I will try this weekend.

The video has been secretly uploaded to a public download server in Germany (not by me) as a 280 MB rar file. However, unlike the GS trading code, no password is required this time.

This story is suspicious to me. It has several holes: 1. Bearer bonds are rare, except in Hollywood movies. 2. There are many unmanned Swiss-Italy border crossings. What kind of stupid money smuggler goes to Chiasso, where all the cops are. 3. With that kind of money you could easily bribe...

I agree that Krugman is completely useless for trading and less than useful, even harmful, for economic policy making. I follow closely Niall Ferguson's media appearances. I get for free what hedge fund GLG Partners is paying good money. He is called the "hedge fund historian" see article...
