    Spanish Borrowing Costs Jump at 2.5 Billion-Euro Bond Auction

    i really wasnt convinced we had a RE button in spain last year and this year running deficits signal exactly that. with excess capacity and rising interest rates, the fiscal tightening in the coming years will drive those prices down drastically. not to mention unemployment rate of 20%. let us...

    Study: Hunger in America jumps ‘unprecedented’ 46 percent

    not in the US for the typical american hunger is about not being able to pay for the big-mac with extra fries and big coke or buy canned food at the nearest mart. the vast majority dont cook or acknowledge the importance of a healthy diet, hence wont plant cabbages in any case.

    Taking 410K to 4million by Year End 2010

    i once had a phenomenal mentor which was a former cboe trader. one of things he first taught me was: if you've developed a certain trading method that appears to be working flawlessly, don't expect to keep performing for long time. you'll have to adapt constantly and failure to do so it...

    Berlin pushes Weber for top job at ECB

    the germans back the portuguese dove so they can have their hawk presiding. i am more inclined to see constancio/weber on the ECB, rather than a solution in which the presidency is occupied by dovish governor, given the weight of france/germany in the EU economy. this is also bad for the...

    Taking 410K to 4million by Year End 2010

    you sound immature you talk about the edge as something you've been chosen to possess and then quantify it as "bigger" or "smaller". it is not like that you might have an edge during one hour/day/month/year and then it is gone. but you'll never know it until the drawdown becomes...
