I pay $9.99 at eTrade. You're in for airfare, limo to/from airport, apartment deposit, furniture shipping..

To paraphrase Al from Deadwood, S&P has earned themselves one long-term ass-fucking courtesy the US gov't. Buffett may be able to save his beloved Moody's, but the ratings game is forever changed. S&P is surely going to be busted into little pieces as a result of this.

This seems solid. I think these have been running the show lately. The tape looks like rats running around trying to find a biscuit.

Of course they are. But how long do you hold the firecracker after you light the fuse? I'm sitting on the sidelines till we see some strength.

What the Christ is this thread about?

That will not happen without a complete debt default and that won't happen without a revolution. How would we ever pay out bills if we couldn't deflate our way out of it? There is simply too much money being made by people manipulating the currency.

Correction: it is to make sure your bills are payable.

I'd love to hear a more about your reasons for the trades. Kinda sounds like your just bragging because you have it figured out pretty damn well. That's ok, I'd rub it in also if I was as profitable as you are. But if you want dialog, give a little.

The Chinese iPhone assembly workers, the German auto workers, and your local bartender thank you for not letting them starve. Also the truck drivers, salesmen, middle management, miners, farmers..

Where exactly is all the money going to go? Rich people simply do not tolerate their wealth being destroyed. It will bounce back, and fast. A crash has to be much more than a 50% slide, more like 90%. We just saw stocks slide 50% a couple years ago and they recovered in a year. That's not a...

So.. what exactly is this thread about?

Selling long term assets to pay a bill now is the most foolish thing one can do. Does a carpenter sell his hammer to buy lunch? Does a plumber sell his wrench to buy a beer? Does the trader liquidate his account to buy a fancy new car?

I love you man. U so crazy!

I'll take a wild stab at it: Glass Steagall will be reintroduced, but the big Wall St. banks will get their greedy little fingers in there and tweak out the guts that made it a useful piece of legislation. There will be much fanfare, Congressmen and the President will all take credit for...

I got ya covered. PM me your rules, I'll code it up and send you back an .exe file.

Don't be so hard on Cramer. He's a publicity hound. You should not be surprised by that revelation. When Cramer decides if he wants to hire Dykstra he doesn't need to vet this guy. He says, "Hey this Lenny cat is already famous, get him! If he turns out to be a prodigy, then I'm a genius! If...

Are you actually asking these questions? Or if sardonic, on whom is your contempt focused?

Wow, I've seen some threads go off on a tangent around here but this is the most sideways yet.

Lol, don't listen to these guys trying to piss all over your dream. Deposit and go for it. Just remember to not be results oriented; execute according to your plan, don't let your emotional well being be tied to your P&L. It's only five grand.

I would be worried about hiring someone who worked in a trade in a different country because of the vastly different standards applied here in the US vs. the rest of the world. Here we think in inches and feet and ounce and pounds, I don't really want to work next to the guy who's constantly...
