Why on earth would anybody want a "solution" to global warming when the alternative is the far more damaging global cooling?

You might want to look at historical values of gold. There have many episodes where gold was *higher* than today during deflationary episodes that lasted years at a time.

Starting to be carried at all the usual sources - C "exploring" breaking up or outright sale of the company.

You've just had multiple people tell you they don't know what you're asking for. Instead of acknowledging the obvious problem and simply clarifying your needs beyond the completely ambiguous "trading options" you lash out at those trying to help. Best of luck to you, hope you find what you need.

An interesting and unique perspective on that sector, thanks for sharing. You might want to take a look at SZK or SCC.

There is no such thing as a green car. If everybody west of the Mississippi moved to electric cars, you would have to flood the entire state of Oregon to generate enough hydro power to run them all.

The message could have been delivered with a nicer wrapper, but the guy has a point. You're asking for a software recommendation without saying anything about your specific needs. Until you determine (and communicate!) exactly what it is that you feel you're missing, going out and trying the...

This would be the same Yamada who was shouting out "short!" signals 3500 points ahead of the Dow top? How do I distinguish her "call" from a stuck clock?

That's not really the claim. In a recession, lots of restaurants will still serve lots of guests and lots of malls will still have lots of cars in the parking lot and Dell will still sell billions of dollars worth of computers and Apple will still sell millions of iPods and etc etc etc...

A drop in GDP of say 5% would only be naked-eye noticeable in the worst-hit areas or by very close detailed observation. You're basically talking about the difference between someone buying a Samsung 450 series LCD TV rather than a 650 series LCD TV. That's not an observable artifact if you're...

You forgot to back out the cost of the calls from your "profit" calculation. In addition, you are using "1" as the quantity in the purchase sentence, but "100" as the quantity in the profit sentence.

XLF isn't the only low-priced "index ETF" - there are several now that will run into trouble with the low dollar value. Especially the 2x etc levered ones where the slippage is going to just get silly - there are some interesting "implications" to 2x funds selling for less than the index they're...

That's a closed end fund. The yield and discount look ok, but they have, like, 4 months worth of cash on hand based on TTM performance. If I missed or misread something, please feel free to correct me.

Courtesy of Treasury, here are the dollar amounts of all federal debt for the years in question (plus some). All nominal dollars, of course. Very interesting that federal debt was in a decade long *decline* leading into 1929. What's really astounding about this is that taxpayers are still paying...

If the position was "absolutely safe", $4,000,000,000 in premiums wouldn't have changed hands.

Started building a long XLF position today. Not messing with options at such high VIX - just buying the underlying and tucking it away. It's scary as hell - this could easily drop another 30% next year.

Who exactly do you think plowed the fields or dug the outhouses in the pre-pogrom eastern european shtetls?

Nobody is arguing against that. The problem is that the traditional way out is a cul-de-sac - which means there really is no way out. In all the posts you have made on this topic, you have not explained how this vast new supply of money enters the system. Saying "print more" is not an...

How would moving to a West Bank compound, growing peyot, wearing a black overcoat, and praying with phylacteries help you make money?

That's why the previous record credit expansion occurred during the economic boom times known as the Great Depression.
