now we're told buy Geithner and those good people in the government that those contracts were air tight? I find this dubious, the government isn't looking hard enough. Idiots. Now more of our money is going for losers...no I take that back, they're not losers they gamed the system and have...

How much of that is in stashed Nazi gold from the 40s? :p Just kiddin'. I actually have a high respect for the Swiss. A great country that has a lot t offer.

Yet another shining example of society creating more dependants on the government tit! It isn't just the UK, I've seen this story before here in the US. Mark my words, that kid won't be the responsible one, and eventually they'll be on welfare (if they aren't already). I feel bad for the baby...

I say throw that idiot who ran the SEC in prison.

wow..thanks gang. I was looking into spread trading, against gold or silver. Any thoughts? Do you get the margin credit?

What has been everyone's experience in trading Platinum or Palladium at the NYMEX? I've traded gold and silver in the past, but never these out of fear of liquidity issues. Any input would be most appreciated.

Pfft...everyone knows Madoff's money is in the hands of the martians. Now that's the mother of all off-shore accounts! :p

Won't help his book sales either.

Look, I can sympathize with the Brits, we spent money over here in America too like it was going out of style (which actually it could be!). What I want to know, though, is if we're gonna be the next "Iceland"? On a similar note, you gotta wonder over in that arctic North Atlantic country...

When it comes to Russia...I wouldn't trust the P or the E in that equation! :p

why???

I think you got a bad print. My chart doesn't show it.

In terms of ratios, I go by the margin credits put forth by the CME, which you can see from the link below. I've constructed spread charts using the front-month ES and NQ or the cash versions, there are some trends to catch on a medium-term and long term periods. Below is also a picture of a...

I have to agree with you here. The ES/NQ spread trade has been very good to me! :)

Just out of curiosity, has anyone spread traded any of the indices, say Spoo and the Nas 100? How about between months of the S&P 500, say shorting or going long one month and doing the opposite of the other? I've had some success doing a spread between the ES and the NQs, but haven't done...

Power Lunch is CNBC's version of The View. :D

Man, there was a time when this was <i>the</i> "high flyer" market, akin to the Nasdaq in the 1990s-2000s. Just goes to show you, stay ahead of the competition or become virtually irrelevant! OK, that isn't entirely true, they do trade a great deal in ETFs. Outside of the Philly, weren't they...

First a shout out to Pabst, this guy rocks, and I think (as everyone knows now) was spot on with assessment earlier in the thread. Now I do have one lingering thought. As was mentioned, many of these positions were off setted. What I'd like to know is to what percentage? If Lehman's...

Reuters is reporting that a sequel to the famed 1987 movie with Gordon Gekko. <i>LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – With all eyes on the world's see-sawing stock markets, Fox is bullish on a sequel to "Wall Street." The new film is titled "Money Never Sleeps." Michael Douglas, who won an...
