oh - this is the regular one. i almost panicked... http://www.federalreserve.gov/boarddocs/meetings/

wtf is going on?

that's an uninformed statement. hungary has a big external debt (relative to their GDP) - think currencies like CHF, EUR, USD. to your second comment - e.g. the czech republic will not go to EURo because they have good enough credit. the debt is low, the government is going to right of...

and it makes more sense to trade EUR/HUF at Oanda...

hungary is a special case in europe. it had a large external debt even during communism. so nothing new under the sun here - the situation is actually not that bad (well, maybe now it is when the idiots started to campaign internationally). fidesz just tries to make a space for negotiation...

this is nuts and only nutters believe this. i just do not see how these conclusions followed from theory of endogenous money (which i agree with btw). but it is funny to see that many pseudo-economists (a la hugh hendry who even can't trade/invest) still think that they have much to preach to...

now everybody freaking cares. why nobody cared before? everybody cared only about gas getting more expensive. people just think they can get all for free. then when accident happens they start to look for someone else to blame. there are hundreds of deep water wells drilled a year with loose...

Ed Breen, is it a new nickname of Jack Hershey? :cool:

you are not the only one. he did a hell of a good job - and he was very lucky (so far) :)

you are joking right? look at Zimbabwe. the fact that so many people are clueless about inflation tells me we are ready to learn the experience the hard way...

ok - fair enough with taxes - i misunderstood you. about living in a society where one steals from another you pretty much get it - we are human after all. :D but on a serious note. the question is not if you get an inflation after throwing 2T at the problem (especially during private...

ok - some jabs here...:) Really? In fact in the past few decades inflation and in particular asset inflation was much more common way to repay. are we talking in nominal or real terms here? are we talking per capita or total income - big differences! well that is a bit rich even for...

totally agree. he is one of the few who gets it. at the end of the day we are all ruled by the ruler of the printing press. the path was chosen - the only question is how long it takes before the abyss appears and the stampede pushes everybody over the edge. :-) great video from today here...

that's true but the major source of money is often just from keeping the position delta neutral even when you are flat vega. if you're long gamma (basically long optionality) you need to sell high and buy low to accomplish keeping the position delta neutral. the profit from this strategy should...

forecasting EUR/USD is a tricky business... :-) http://www.bloomberg.com/avp/avp.htm?N=av&T=HSBC%27s%20Bloom%2C%20UBS%27s%20Yu%20Clash%20Over%20Their%20Euro%20Forecasts&clipSRC=mms://media2.bloomberg.com/cache/vTex9yaykhbg.asf

+1 each case is different. broker is not stupid and will not pursue the matter if it is about pennies (read few Ks). that's why for instance IB has such a rigid risk management policy and for illiquid/volatile stuff they simply margin 100%. it is likely though that your credit score...

and BP now trades below 43.50 - so IB saved you some money after all - if you still want to own BP... :D

i think you are right. the problem is that the bad headlines may continue for months effectively granting your investment to lose value. personally i bought a bit by selling otm puts (which are already itm :D ) and will continue the same on the way down. i can't see that 10B liability cap can...

another clueless dement. i even don't know which part of this post wins the "most stupid" contest....

DON'T FORGET THE DOLLAR!!!
