I notice there's about one thread started a day with cramer in the title. Shouldn't there be a cap on the number of threads cramer and his interns can start a day? Reduce a bit of the clutter, you know. It reminds me of the Timmay craze which afflicted the board for awhile. There are other...

I tend to agree with you, although I am hesitant to climb out on a limb. (I've been on a roll and like most amateurs don't have a talent for doubling and more on a winning streak.) My call is for yield on the ten year to hit 5.5 next year, despite malaise lasting and even deepening into next...

Yea, a bummer I know. Cashed in better than 8/1 reward to risk in a matter of many days (without drawdown no less!), rather than a few months. That surpasses even the sweet territory enjoyed by those in Dick Cheney's rolodex. Another difference: I'm not taking mine to Dubai.

Snapshot of YEN/usd on cme today: .010234 (high, wow!) .009909 (low) Happy? Some folks seeking shelter are (happy, I mean), according to the WSJ, an excerpt: TOKYO -- Investors looking for safe haven from the global economic storm are flocking to the yen, but that's raising...

I understand folks already are applying for these positions. They must take the “Competence and Conflicts” questionnaire Hank’s A team at Treasury put together to screen for top talent. See how you’d score on it, it’s very quick, with 3 right out of 4 earning a passing grade: True...

Good by me. Knock quick win big, it ain't too late, only just not as juicy as 10 days ago, or 20 especially.

Very smart, especially given several hundred tick loss of Euro to Yen since last week (check EUR/yen). Guess we're finding out if YEN holds any of its recent gains (which had been large gains) over USD. I continue to like it over next months, til December.

Geez, does anyone really wanna be the other side of this trade with Goldman Sachs? That's what it is. GS is selling, we're buying, and the pit local is Hank. GS has just been too good of late for me to believe I'll profit. Exhibits 1-3: Last summer, GS's HF customers are levered long...

Fitting. I see also you pick your spots.

It is good and possibly very insightful. Here it is again: "I suspect that part of what we're seeing in the freezing up of lending markets is strategic behavior on the part of big financial players who stand to benefit from the bailout,'' said David K. Levine, an economist at Washington...

Congressional researchers (Democrats, I mean) are examining exactly the math problems you pose, in preparation for progressive taxation proposals which will follow inevitably on this exposure of and damage from the right wing/conservative scam. That's why many Congressional Republicans have...

I'm looking for at least a peak at and taste of the other side of parity. See first post from Sunday night.

Is my comment that cryptic (not possible, or I am missing your meaning, namely that I'm as great a fade as cramer)? I am the other way: YEN going up, over USD particularly, not going down.

from Bloomberg today, revealing that sometimes members of Congress know when to call a bluff: ``I suspect that part of what we're seeing in the freezing up of lending markets is strategic behavior on the part of big financial players who stand to benefit from the bailout,'' said David K...

A very unusual trading environment, as all those playing the home game version of ET know. Those who boarded the train with me Sunday evening have seen sizeable retreat from our one way ride in equity and to nice equity, but don't despair. In fact, if ever there was time for an inexplicable...

That Congress actually will passes the bailout, which is bad enough on its own, but after which, when it likely becomes apparent that this fix is little better than the several that have preceded it, real dislocations and distress will occur. It's inevitable that Congress caves; it is in the...

Just in the last several days, the chances of govt help to solve the problem you cite have shot up dramatically. This exposure of the right wing/free market scam has, as about everyone knows now, set most Americans afire with resentment. More progressive taxation and the safety nets it can pay...

Good information below, thanks. Allows a peak through the smoke and behind the mirrors. The point probably isn't whether your figures are dead-on accurate (they may be), but that the panic peddlers are betting that dead-on accuracy becomes known only after the 700 billion is plunged (and more...

Yes, agreed, I understand that Americans overwhelmingly supported a bailout when the question is phrased thusly: "Would you approve of the Treasury Secretary spending 700 billion dollars to aid distressed banks if without that assistance weeping sores will develop on your face and groin?" 82...

Great if you win, you pocket the dime. It's what happens if you lose that worries. I don't want ET members -- me included -- forced to pony up the 100 grand on this highly levered bet. That's the playbook, isn't it?
