Thought that was tarrytown, NY?

3200 posts, all in politics or religion. I see that I have been suckered. And I have a very good idea of what I am speaking of - I didn't just wiki it so I could insult people. And I never said I wasn't a shmuck. But I can see I am in good company. (add to ignore)

What you are suggesting is not exclusive with the moral imperative. In fact, its probably inclusive. You've just assumed that (insert religious dogma here) is the only guiding principle. I feel that presupposition is invalid. What's not OK is to see the problem, realize the humanitarian...

Kant's Moral and Categorical Imperative is real. You know it when you see it - it hits you like a ton of bricks and you are forced to action. To paraphrase Kant, when you are confronted with circumstances where the moral choice is so clearly obvious and without any controversion, you are...

I have family that lives there. Hoboken before the ferry was an also-ran; really not much different from living in queens. Then it got a bit trendy to live there and a corridor to the path developed with a very upper west side/ upper upper east side college kiddie bar type environment...

Of interest to all you gen-X'ers out there with 2.3 kids & a mortgage - your elders and juniors will be conspiring against you to have a more flexible, time-centric lifestyle. And you'll probably be expected to conform to that to remain employed. My guess is to expect: 1. More...

Given that its pretty unlikely that we are going to see that kind of fighting again, I don't think the point is relevant. It will get to nukes before that point, unfortunately.

Self Stimulation? (sorry, couldn't resist. we all know its a land army & aggression.)

Too erudite for this neighborhood, but I agree although I think the macroeconomics mean less under these contrived circumstances.

I want to believe this, but a few points don't jive: 1. Russia's recent clamoring for SDR's as a new reserve currency (pointless but vocal) 2. China's veiled threat against quant easing. Chinese are buying commodities because they won't buy agencies, don't get anything for Treasuries except...

Bring back Krushchev (sp?) banging his shoe on the desk at the UN. Of course Russia would prefer a new international currency. It would be in their interests. Payback for this summer.

Seems as if the strategy of maintaining margin by keeping prices high and not discounting to make up prior volume sales isn't working either. No sales. Ain't no way to maintain margin. Expect more discounting. Already starting to see it b4 Q2 end.

I'll rule myself out from that suspicion. Although I do covet Marc Faber's accent.

Anyone have any insight here on ILF and its ilk? Looking for lat am ETF predominantly excluding Mexico with emphasis on South America. CEF's OK too, which is what I am comparing against. Preferably currency unhedged. Any observations about specific trading quirks appreciated...

Well, I always wanted to live in Europe before I died. Looks like I'll get my chance, and I didn't even have to move. Imagine that! I guess we are all French now. So much for 'Freedom Fries'. Vive la differance!

This concept of financial war (FINWAR) has popped up a few other places as well. I felt it was more credible when Bear was toppled after Spitzer's neutralization. But there were unintended consequences after LEH's collapse. An interesting concept.

Well, perhaps the bet then to place are some OTM options on the ZB. I have remained from 50-85% cash or short term instruments in the last year or so with specific short term trades and options plays. No killings this year, I am afraid, but that is more of a function of reduced position...

Actually, we can. We just haven't had it come to that in over 80 years.
