    History has taught us that every world power or super power has fallen sooner or later. The US of A will be no exception. when they say the meek shall inherit the earth, I have heard it said it is in relation to China and they inherit it through ownership, they are buying it funny thing...

    Crude high price seems dumb

    Looks like CL is back to the 50-70 cent moves each time it breaks the minnie range it moves to. Looking a volume it looks more to be just forcing shorts out as we move higher.

    Crude high price seems dumb

    They have pushed CL 5 dollars the last 2 days do you think today's release was front run early? Short and a little nervous with the move.

    Career advise... Am I getting Screw D?

    That's not necessarily true. My oldest daughter who is in her early thirties worked for a US firm in Canada. She worked there for over 12 years and her boss (a male) always had issues with women. He always had to be right. My daughter moved from the back to the front office in ordering and...

    Obama to push 30b of TARP money for small banks to make small business loans

    I think it is just a lot of news noise to push the market higher. I noticed today the futures are out of sync with the stock market moves in the NQ and ES. I just see it as another chance to go short. I remember in school that there was just as many millions made as lots in the great...

    Obama to Outline $30 Billion in Small Bank Assistance From TARP For Hiring New Worker

    or he is setting the stage for the our second leg higher! A interesting fact is the funds could be guaranteed. More debt but initially a factor which could help the market to move higher. I hope we don't see those crazy fifty plus point moves in the NQ and ES out of no where. Last...

    Obama to push 30b of TARP money for small banks to make small business loans

    What would be the difference this time? There are still no rules to ensure the Banks will lend once they receive the money.

    San Diego cash strapped...sell their police horses at auction

    Funny thing it is a known fact that a horse and ride or an officer and dog have the ability to manage crowd control much easier and safer. I am sure their is one or two civil servants who could take early retirement and that should exceed the savings.

    I'm shorting AAPL and GOOG

    I have been selling aapl options, so far they have been letting me cover at least twice a day for some good money. but take a look at NFLX this morning, up over 10 dollars only problem so far is IB is not showing the high low just the last price so could have a nice pullback since this could...

    Obama to Propose New Rules on Banks’ Size, Proprietary Trading

    Goldman was issued a Bank Licence and has never had to follow the same rules as the other Banks and has received Billions of US Citizen Funds while taking the other side of the trade. People have lost their life savings with all the creative trading tools and with NO accountability to the...

    Where are you parking your savings ?

    If your money is truly extra funds and not needed for trading you can also buy a few small atm's. The service charges will far exceed any CD or GIC. I am not sure but you might be able to even lease them? My husband and I use to factor account's receivables years ago. We were getting 5...

    Why is market down today

    since the Bloomberg TV report about who is really buying and the move today what is also pretty interesting is that the CBOE was down several time today, prior and afterwards. If the TV report is correct then that may explain why the CBOE was down?

    Why is market down today

    interesting is right, since the news on Bloomberg I clicked on the bids on about 20 stocks like aapl, goog,msft,rimm, amzn and most of them have pulled back a bit from when I clicked on the bid yet the nq climbed almost 3 points. I realize a few stocks won't make the difference but these are...

    Why is market down today

    Bloomberg has an interesting interview going on right now talking about how they cannot find who is buying and that the majority of the trading is in the futures over night and not actually the stocks. I remember trading in the fall when the nq and es where down and the futures were up and I...

    Why is market down today

    since we had an options expiry on Friday it would make sense to have a pullback some time this wk so portfolio's can be adjusted. goes to show you the news really has no value. with GS reporting on Thursday (since the news is out to wall st) they will try and push us long until the public...
