BB said today that the Fed "may" need to tighten policy to prevent inflation. This will likely trigger new waves of debt defaults, similar to the subprime triggering. My guess is a slight commencement in tightening 1/2 way through 2009.

IT'S A TARP!!11!!1!1111

When the Fed / Treasury designed TARP, why did no one think to themselves: "IT'S A TARP!" ?

Asiaprop and the rest of the pro-GS crowd fail to understand that 'free capitalism' does not entail a right to fraudulently sell worthless securities that have been fraudulently labelled as AAA to fraudulent banks looking to making fraudulent short-term profits as the fraudulent bubble inflates...

I posted this on the ZeroHedge health care rant, and I'll post it here too. Most of the 'philosophical' arguments being presented against any level of socialized health provision is patently flawed. -- There is nothing philosophically wrong about "stealing" from the rich, lucky and...

Oops, repost. Oh well

You traders don't understand; He's not calling a stock market bottom, he's just saying the recession (meaning negative gdp growth) should be finished soon. If you read the article I posted, you'd see he also discusses how the recovery will likely be jobless, weak and extremely slow.

It's the same as the housing bubble. Time 0: Analysts speculate that oil prices will be significantly higher next period (due to factors X, Y, Z) --- Futures prices rise --- Time 1: People / manufacturers start stock piling resources (why sell now when you can buy now and sell forward...

Higher EURUS means a weaker dollar vis-a-vis the euro does it not? Maybe the correlation is so strong lately because foreigners understand any gains in the DOW at this point are offset by quantitative easing (money printing) by the Fed? Sure, the credit money supply is being destroyed...

The one time the government fails to play superhero happens to be the time I have an interview with the delinquent firm today at 1:30... That's gonna be awkward. Just my luck.

And I have a phone interview for a CIT financial analyst position set up tomorrow at 1:30. Just great.

Can't you look at the date of what you post before you get all inflammatory? It's old news. NYSE admitted its mistake and added GS to the list ages ago. Ofc that doesn't detract from the fact that GS likely engages in patently unethical and unfair trading.

Too bad this illumination has literally nothing to do with the possibility that the fractional reserve banking system is a ponzi scheme of unimaginable proportions whereby every dollar of debt issued requires further debt-issued money to pay back at an exponential and unattainable rate...

Unforunately, neither of the arguments in this thread are convincing. Allowing privatized banks and central banks to manipulate the money supply at whim and create asset, price and credit bubbles (and then get bailed out after doing so) is clearly non-optimal. Likewise, a gold standard is...
