That article referred to at barackobama.com is closed for comments, too. This is starting to piss me off. No way to criticize these ideas! This worries me less for the fact that I won't be able to trade anymore, more for the fact that it will result in a lot of industries practically going...

Was that on the CNBC segment? I've got on kid shows here LOL

Since that article is no longer accepting comments, what is the best way to make noise against this? I just can't believe the writers of these articles don't realize how many lost jobs and lost foreign revenue this would mean. In addition, if the markets moved elsewhere, it would encourage...

Someone needs to make the point that this industry is one of our biggest exports in that it brings in foreign money.

WTH? No longer accepting comments for his article. Nice to know they are so encouraging of free speech.

Greenland. It's getting warmer there, they're even starting to get able to grow some crops there :)

What real jobs? Those have dried up. There are 3.8 unemployed for each opening right now.

Can't find that blog post I found before (maybe I didn't post it after all), but I found this article on consecutive up days in the Dow. The most is 13. It gives statistics on as few as 5 up days in a row: http://www.stockhouse.com/Blogs/ViewDetailedPost.aspx?p=17788

There was a thread where we discussed this a while back. I found a blog post discussing it with some numbers. I'll look back through my old posts and see if I can find it again.

Same thing I've been wondering lately LOL. One solution is to reduce the number of hours we all work and to tax the owners of the machines that make what we use. I definitely would love the reduced # of working hours part, but I'm not sure the tax part is fair.

dareminator, ZB is the 30-year treasury bond. The theoretical maximum is a lot more than you proposed. I got around 280.

Why not take it a step further and don't even get married until you're sure about these things? And, make sure that the two of you agree on if you'll have kids, how many, where you'll live, make sure your careers are somewhat compatible, etc. I'm always amazed at people who find all these...

Hedge funds now eligible for loans from the Fed. WTH??? I guess this craziness really isn't going to end until we collapse: Hedge funds gain access to $200bn Fed aid By Krishna Guha in Washington Published: December 20 2008 05:01 | Last updated: December 20 2008 05:01 Hedge funds will be...

#s 1-3 I can make a case for gold going down, but #4??? Man, gold would shoot through the roof if that happened. Gold thrives on fear.

I thought you plugged in 6 percent for the coupon rate? http://www.cbot.com/cbot/pub/cont_detail/0,3206,1526+14431,00.html "The conversion factor is the price of the delivered bond ($1 par value) to yield 6 percent."

Actually, Zimbabwe exports more than it imports. I think that's probably part of the reason their stock market was able to return a better percentage than their *HUGE* inflation rate. If you had your money in the stock market there in an index fund, you actually came out ahead. The US...

A couple of things I see wrong with what you're saying (although you make good points!): the inventory controlled by Fannie and Freddie aren't in the control of banks, and also, keeping houses on the books of a company isn't a free proposition, there are property taxes to be paid. In Texas...

It's $100k if its cash.

No. They can get the $100k the SIPC allows them to get.

what's your timeframe? I've got a feeling they'll run stops in both directions after the FOMC announcement, don't they always?
