Your currency risk is greater than you probably think. You're arbing ADRs, not a game for retail traders unless you have a very good program that can scan and execute. If you must try, I hear Brazilian companies are the easiest to squeeze a nickel out of this way, for some reason.

Euro has decent liquidity, but it goes downhill from there, and it's almost nil on things like the Aussie and Kiwi.

Best quote I've seen from a US Senator in quite some time: Republican Senator Charles Grassley said in a radio interview on Monday he would feel better if AIG's top managers were to ''take that deep bow and say 'I'm sorry' and then either do one of two things: resign or go commit suicide.``...

You're giving too much credit to the W.H, the Pentagon, DPB, OSP, et cetera. These folks ain't as smart as you think, and I think history bears that out. Anyone can dupe them. They are stupid Americans.

Agreed. I posted on this in another forum. Christ how many CNBC forums are up and running today?

Same old stuff; he is on a PR offensive, talking up the economy. Sixty Minutes let him get all his talking points in unquestioned; the whole time I kept thinking where is John Stewart. CNBC will lead with Bernanke tomorrow and AIG (and ignore the Cramer fiasco), both stories will get flogged...

I really thought Rick was smarter than this -- the Liddy Show? C'mon. This sometimes happens to media people whoa re suddenly news subjects; they go so thin-skinned. he should have let the W.H. comments roll off his back, or fired back himself (and he is smart enough to do it), not whined...

I. I am not Jewish. 2. The CIA has admitted the Iranian intelligence influence and what happened. Lots of Washington Post, National Journal stories, not to mention books, written on the subject. Judy Miller was one of the dupes, the Iranians used, via CIA courses, Scooter Libby, etc. Seriously...

Never ever ever fight with a professional comic. So, a smart guy made a smart move. And an egomaniacal guy made an egomaniacal move. Need I name names?

Listen, the rep is that RIck is indeed the smartest guy, or one of the smartest guys at CNBC; granted, that's like being the world's tallest midget. But he does know bonds. He screwed up with his rant but not INCLUDING the Wall Street bail outs which, I believe he also opposes. Thus he...

Financial PR firms, I used to work for one, and internal PR departments, pitch them. CNBC has time to fill; they often do very little verification. With some work, some networking, and a decent budget, you can get almost anybody on CNBC, and trust me they don't care; they just want to fill air...

Son, I don't know where to begin. CNBC is entertainment, a joke -- intelligent people know it's a shill machine. Fox, however, is ... I dunno: entertainment for special needs people or something? Do people actually watch that, even in passing? Doesn't have like 4,000 viewers a day? Do you watch...

Dude, it's not news! It's entertainment! The talent is paid in the mid-six figures, and they ain't gonna get that kind of money doing anything else. They do what they are told. If they told Erin Burnett to do commercials. Guess what? She would hold up a tube of KY or whatever and shill -- with a...

Not just CEOs. Listen, day after day, these idiots at CNBC take money managers who lose money, have returns that are negative, even in good years, whose stock picking is no better than yours or mine, and ask them what do you think will happen? Well, guess what: They don't know! They have no...

if you call that shit hole of a city, then and now, a WMD, the you scare pretty darn easily. Are you really the last person on the plant that believes the WMD line? Man, that canard was planted by Iranian intelligence and our stupid CIA bought it and used it to invade Iraq, just like Iran...

CNBC plus Ron Insana. Network with an admitted stock manipulator as its star commentator hires a failed hedge fund manager and failed talking head. (He switched careers because he saw his on-air opportunities receding with his hairline.) All makes perfect sense. And it's all owned by GE...

She is good-looking, glib, reads a Teleprompter well. She should be doing entertainment. As an alleged financial journalist, she is a complete suck ass for Wall Street, total -- she makes Santelli seem like a socialist. (Santelli, whom I may disagree with to a degree, at least has a brain and...

Send the whole family to the Taliban for a haircut. Cheap.
