"On Mar. 13 Goldman Sachs (nyse: GS - news - people ) demoted market strategist Abby Cohen for having been bullish too long. <b>That day marked the bottom of the back half of what I think is a double-bottom whose first bottom was in January.</b>" Ken has a pretty good record in figuring...

hcour, if you replaced the video card, there is a 90% chance this is a bios issue NOT MEMORY because memory is only tested during post test after the bios is up and running. you should try flashing the bios by shorting the flash bios pins on your mobo while pressing the power button

Haha, but I thought most fast food joints don't like to hire people with college credits - there is high turnover to more prestigious jobs like starbucks or chipotle mexican grill.

This was the first thing that came to mind while reading this. Apparently the credit crisis is two weeks long in goldman time.

``If I don't get the loans then I guess I really don't know what I would do,'' said Jacobsen, a double major in political science and piano performance from Kearny, New Jersey. ``My mom is not in a position to pay for it and neither is my family.'' Maybe this guy should consider, I don't...

haha true, infinity is more of a state of mind/panic. I don't really understand why this is even debated. Selling verticals will drastically reduce your margin req and risk, and you wont be forced out of a position at the worst time via margin call

Haha I was thinking the same thing myself. Blaming the USD for everything has become almost pop culture (kind of like blaming Bush for everything).

Ding Ding Ding! Its not that people in the US are getting dumber, its the PERCENTAGE of uneducated people is getting larger and f-ing up all types of statistics...I'll leave it at that. Unfortuntately I feel that anyone who doesn't agree with what Pabst wrote above, either A) hasn't been...

Haha, Are you capable of making a post without blaming Bush for every single problem on earth? Everyone already knows hes a crappy president. Let me guess, the bees (especially Canadian bees) liked the Clintons better, right?

exactly.. and the -67% will most likely come when you are selling 1000 contract spreads at low volatility, then out of nowhere the shit hits the fan and you lose everything you made in the past year (or worse)

It is comical how journalists try to rationalize the price change in oil, and its nonexistent correlation to stocks

Kind of like borrowing on margin to pay off a margin call...

Bingo. This goes back to august when they lowered rates by higher than expected 0.5% everyone thought bernanke was crazy. Of course it took a few months for the public to start to realize how bad things actually were.

True, and every single time the fed has cut rates since august, there has been a 1-2 month delay for more terrible news to come public...

Opens below two, whos going to risk holding this POS if deal falls through

Not when the yen is gaining and the carry trade is unwinding

:D what about the $80/share book value crowd :eek:

Not to mention the media/government have been banning words from people's vocabulary- telling them what they are and aren't allowed to say, in a supposedly free country...thoughtcrime and doublespeak I tell you.

Maybe he was concerned about inflation and wanted to spend it all before $ became worthless
