You gotta believe this comment from Geithner was very favorable. The "administration" does not favor? Yeah, baby! I'm not concerned about the comment "not having seen a version". What version would be any different than another other than changing the amount of the tax? What we need is...

Geithner comes out again against the transaction tax in Congressional hearing. I could kiss the guy. Looking for a video of the statement now. OldTrader

I made my comment guys. Hope you did the same. OldTrader

I think this misses the point. Politicians are talking about passing this in nearly every country. Capital won't have any place to flee to. Better to stop it right here. OldTrader

Let's say you're right...we expanded 64% from 1/1/2008. That's basically 32% annual growth in the monetary base. That's huge. What I'm looking at though is $800 Billion to $1,900 Billion. I can't tell the start date. But it's clearly well more than a double. Whatever the rate of...

Exactly.:) OldTrader

Listen son, obviously just because I didn't see it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Nor does it mean it does. It's anecdotal information from someone who has been in this business for over 40 years, to include some time on the floor. I also at one time managed firm money in guess what...

OK, I'm looking at the euro on globex. I'd say trading at either bid or ask right now, worst case scenrio is 1 tick slippage on part of a 40 lot. OldTrader

I wouldn't watch a Michael Moor film if he paid me. And in any case, I'd hate to rely on a film for actually statistics on cancellations due to sickness. Frankly, I doubt it. I don't think an insurance company can unilaterally cancel a policy unless they were ceasing business in a state, or...

I think what you mean is that there is no program for pre-existing conditions that is cheap enough. Insurance companies know that with a pre-existing condition they are assured of having to pay out larger than normal sums under the policy, and therefore they have to charge more. Evidently, the...

C'mon admit it, you're a relative of Nancy Pelosi. Or a distant cousin of Obama. If you are, we understan the horseshit. Otherwise, it's hard to say where this crap comes from. It's true there are a number of problems in our health care system. One of them however is not the quality of...

generally I trade the euro either during the daytime US hours, or after midnight eastern. So I'm struggling a little to recall size during the hours you mention. During the times I trade, you could easily do 40 lots within 1 tick of the bid-offer, if not the offer. What kind of strategy...

Premium selling as an ongoing strategy is a losing strategy in the end. You're going to have a series of small wins, and a few large losses that wipe out all your wins. History is replete with guys going broke with this strategy, guys with more experience and more capital. If you try to...

You need to do some research at the St. Louis Fed. But here's a link to the monetary base: http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/BOGAMBNS?cid=124 The monetary base has better than doubled. OldTrader

Look at the price of insurance which includes the guaranteed insurabiity clause regardless of pre-existing conditions. While everyone wants it, you gotta wonder how many can afford it. And in this guys case, he dodged it with his hospitalization plan. I guess what he was thinking is that if...

When the rates start to increase, it's effect on gold will be based on whether they are increased fast enough relative to inflation at that time. I don't think that's predictable. But the Fed has a history of being behind the curve. Bottomline is that there has been a huge expansion of the...

I think you're wrong. I don't think the sponsors, to include Schwab, have direct or indirect discussions with Erin Burnett. I think Schwab may well be the biggest idiot of all, advertising on a show which is supporting the end of Schwabs business, active traders. I think they need to be...

My suggestion would be that we email investor relations. That email is not on your link. Here's one link that I emailed them: http://www.aboutschwab.com/investor/information/information-investor.html Anyone who has a better link, please post. OldTrader

We've already seen how she presents the topic. She's for the tax. I agree with Seasideheights, let's email the sponsors of her program about the devastating consequences of the tax. OldTrader

Actually the fact that you find this market difficult says alot about your methods. This market was remarkable last year, and has continued that this year. Down sharply to new lows January, February and a few days in March. Then up virtually non-stop to the peaks here recently...over a 60%...
