So its an end of an era. For many of us he has been our chairmen our of FOMC guy. So heres your chance to say goodbye to the man to the chairmen of the FOMC. So what do you have to say.

what kind of laptop did you have?

thats the guy son. It doesnt reflect on doug kass's trading. Its really diffucult to pass on success to successive generations. If that was possible, there would be bunch of young cramer traders.

I wish they could make notebooks and laptops able to seperate the screen and keyboard. I find after awhile that its painful typing in that same squished position.

kass is suppovily the anti cramer. I saw him once on kudlow and company but he was squashed in a debate with another fund manger. I think it was a debate between him and mike holland.

I was wondering what do you think of these guys. They are supposivly the stars of streetinsight and best traders/fundmangers. Are they all hype or not? Any good? Or past their prime, but still have good advice?

ok sam what if isreal doesnt strike. But the UN for some reason finally gets their act together and put up sanctions. According to AP report that could raise oil to over 100 dollars a barrel. Would an attack be worse or better then sanctions...

lets keep this to pure market reactions, and the political reactions. There was a report on yahoo saying sanctions in themselves could raise oil to 100. And thats not even an attack by isreal. Imagine what an attack could raise it too.

I dont know. If iran was planning some kind of test in 3 months. Isreal would strike at any minute. They could strike today. But intelligence is so shakey. You have bush saying they are 3 years away. But who knows. Intelligence these days coming from allies and the cia as we all know is a...

I have been using laptops instead of desktops for the last 6 years switching from desktops and to laptops. I know there is an ever raging debate from which is better. But laptops power and performance is almost as good as any workstation now. So what does everybody here prefer now? Laptops...

drsteph do you think it would be something like what happened with hurricane katrina and oil. It went up after the storm hit, then it went down as people were relieaved that it didnt destroy as much, b/c reporting and the analysis was spotty at the beginning. But then it rose sharply days...

my question does it matter. If the give it to the chinese, then the chinese will relieave pressure on sources of oil.

well wouldnt it push oil up to over 100 dollars. That would surely hurt asian countries like china and japan.

Its a tought quest for the US admin. There is no military option. And its completely the admins fault. All of the military resources are being used in afghanistan and iraq. And its costing the country already 500 billion. Can you imagine god forbid somehow bush manages to make a war in...

according to intelligence reports he is about 2 years away from making a working nuke. And that was the time frame iraq was suppovily making a nuke. So its not out of ordinary for an attack on iranian nuclear facilities. Whether they are done or not done with nukes. There is currently a...

it must be very very very high. Did they ever found out which institution did it?

well from my perspective iraqi reserves are a moot point. They arent even producing oil at prewar levels and at sustainable levels. When iraq starts producing again, then we can start talking about iraqi reserves. Right now, the biggest factor for iraq to effect the oil markets or not, if...

when israel attacked iraq's nuclear power plants that was really unexpected. The markets during that time had no warning. Thats b/c it involved a relativly small fighter group. when we got warning about persian gulf wars, it involved a military buildup of 100's thousands of men and materials...

well it depends. If you mean attacked like by terriosts like suicide bombings then I think things like transport stocks would drop like crazy. I think we wouild see a few more airlines go bankrupt. But if there is, I think you would see people acting more like isrealis, and after a couple of...

its bullish, but my idea was an unexpected strike. Like back in 80's when isreal striked iraq nuclear power plants. And what if iran strikes back hard, and isreal just destroys iran oil infrastructure. And it causes a cascade effect where all arabian area is at war.
