Very true, I really find it impossible to believe, especially since I was sitting in an Economics class in college in 1980 while we went thru that time, that with the US dollar making the move that it has in the last 9 months we have near zero or low single digit inflation. EUR/USD Mar '09...

Any free real time quotes and news for blackberry? I use CNBC's site. I have had Esignal, it was good but had some kinks with overload of data. Not worth the money. Etrade even with account looks like delayed quotes? Haven't tried it during the day, but it says quotes are delayed. I know...

I wasn't trying to come to any conclusion. Inflation By Month as calculated from the CPI at inflationdata.com 1980 JAN 13.91% FEB 14.18% MAR 14.76% APR 14.73% MAY 14.41% JUN 14.38% JUL 13.13% AUG 12.87% SEP 12.60% OCT 12.77% NOV 12.65% DEC 12.52% AVERAGE 1980 -...

neke, great job. Don't beat yourself up over XOM. It made no sense what they did to it this week. Deal slightly dilutive to earnings, slightly accretive to cash flow. You can't predict a major asset allocation out of a stock like that. Some due to the arb, but made little sense. I too got caught...

Prime Rate 1981: 20.5% 2009: 3.25% (Current) Inflation 1980: 14.8% 2008: 0% (December) 30-Year Mortgage Rate 1981: 18.5% 2009: 4.96% (Current) Real Gas Price (2008 dollars) 1981: $3.45 per gallon 2009: $1.82 (Current)

Was I being a little too critical in my post last night? Maybe, but it seems Matt Welch agrees. Granted - it is the NY Post's conservative spin on him in today's paper. Obama, left behind: Even progressives abandon him as he ends a lost year

I have never seen someone in an authoritative role that spoke like he knew what he wanted, but in reality has no clue. Nothing would surprise me at this point. He will do whatever will get him popularity and rock star status. Professional candidate. No administrative skills whatsoever. No...

Cool. I get quotes on my pda. Looks like Apple is closer to being able to viably trade off IPhone. You can swing back and forth with your index finger on the screen from charts to execution platform. It's just a matter of time before we will be trading like this 24/7. Maybe Traderum is onto...

First, it will never pass. Defazio, whose bill it is, is at war with Obama's staff as of this week. War. Obama pulled Defazio aside apparently and said, "we're keeping score you know . . . " This was apparently on an unrelated issue, but Defazio has been beating up on O'man. The fact that...

Some good suggestions on here. However, I have found it extremely difficult to trade from a laptop. Unless you are sitting on positions for some time. If you are faster money, it's difficult to get an idea of whats going on in a bunch of other stocks, index's, currencies, news, charts, IM...

Here is a way to work out those prices before like previous poster suggested. We were discussing another RIMM guy that took the opposite bet of you in chit chat. "My wife is going to kill me, I blew my account on RIMM" He bot the Jan 60 puts.

What happened to the cereal thread from last night from Jeanne44? That was some of my best work on ET. The 9 month low was $59.60. You must have paid $2.60 for these with a 57 vol just before announcement with stock at $63 assuming Jan expiration? They disappointed last Q. You would have to...

After many moons of watching these reweigtings, I have come to the following conclusion. I would do better if I watched the clock, more than the stock to be added or reweigted with stock to buy on the bell. Here is my new strategy. Please feel free to add feedback. Take pretty much any...

Agree, but options weren't open when he started thread. We just told him if he was worried he could hedge half. Easy enough to leg out of it. Next poster checked and today's high in these was nowhere near $3.30. I thought that sounded a little high with the stock at 63.50?

suggestions? OP said he made purchase to specifically play the earnings. You saying he should hold out for a higher price? He paid $3.30 in premium for these otm calls. If he holds them until Jan he will lose whatever premium will be in there tomorrow. With time decay if he does nothing and the...

They said today that the avg age of a new Harley purchaser was in his low 50's in age. Too many cool choices for x-gen. Rice rockets or Denali and the likes. Think GS may be onto something here. Nice rally from $8 low to almost $30 this year. Nothing like a Harley if you ask me though. Buy american.

Don't think it has a big short interest. It's a growth story and these small regional bank stocks have not done all that well. They have made no money this year at least relative to years past. Big writeoffs/provisions. That being said, a number of people think that these are the place to be...

From all i have read it is a fait accompli. Kudlow has been trashing him lately. I am surpised that CNBC lets him do that. With Cramer seriously, emarrassingly kissing Bernanke's ass last night for like 10 minutes, he obviously got a stern talking to by someone. Been that way for months. Imelt...

different quarters.

Ditto. Dollar, Spain, Greece, Analyst comments, BAC broke $15 price of secondary, etc... Who knows what the AM brings. At least half asap.
