    Trichet Says U.S. Must Pursue ‘Strong Dollar’ Policy

    Wasn't it Ivanovich who just posted an interesting article in some other thread about how the Chinese are devaluing the USD, and it was actually them who defended 1.4480? After all, if you want to move a currency in one direction you have to talk in the opposite way...

    Trichet Says U.S. Must Pursue ‘Strong Dollar’ Policy

    Would be funny though to watch a full-blown competition of which monkey can run the presses faster. And Trichet has a lot going for him in that: German engineering, British greed, French 'so-we-dropped-a-nuke-in-your-backyard-who-gives-a-shit' indifference...

    Germany's Finance Minister Steibrueck seeks global tax on "financial transactions"

    A masterful proposal. Just make sure there will be enough loopholes in this tax so that Deutsche and Goldman will get an exception, and the rest can go fuck their customers. Is the govt a financial intermediary now to act as money transfer from consumers/citizens to banks/fis?

    If you have NoScript, you don't need flashblock, they do the same, only NoScript is better and proven. Key Scrambler is a security risk, and since most keyloggers today run at the kernel level, its pointless.

    The 5 financial stocks with 30% of all volume

    People bet that the bailouts will work out. If they do, you want to ride the fins that come from the deepest holes, 'cause those have the most to gain. There's another very stupid reason. Lots of people (including professionals) think that if they buy a $5 share then all they risk is $5...

Once you see the two prices you can right-click on the added price and go to properties to change it. If you simply drag another quote...
