    Ron Paul Humiliates Ben Bernanke so bad that CNBC had to cut him off.

    CNBC is full of blatant censorship of important issues. That said, I caught the whole thing on bloomberg. I can't watch CNBC without getting frustrated by their self interest. Ron Paul said exactly what I believe. I hope his message gets out to the masses sooner than later.

    The US Government, Capitalism or Socialism ?

    Who cares. I just got my 600 dollar rebate check. I get to download those porn sites that normally seem to be a waste of money. They're giving money out for free. Now Pelosi wants another stimulus package. Hopefully, the whole government doesn't go democrat. I hope voters realize that...

    Is your bank/credit union safe? Bankrate.com has the answer

    I think it's opposite, 1 is bad, 5 is the best. Bankrate.com evaluates the financial condition of institutions and assigns a 1-to-5 rating with five stars representing the highest rating.

    Has the PPT been intervening in the markets recently? II

    Isn't it obvious. Look at the amount of talks by the Fed, Paulson, and Bush all week. Also note the choppy ass action in the index futures intraday.

    volatility on volatility?

    I recommend scaling into the vix, vxo, and vxn options at this point. Scale in, I said, don't blow your wad on the first trade. it could go against you a bit first, so buy some time, 3 or four months out. These are excellent fades when they get to the extreme levels. For the vix which you are...

    Washington Mutul bank run?

    I'm just going from my readings on Indymac. It was closed by the FDIC Friday, and Monday most depositors were allowed to withdraw. As far as the 100k limit, my point is, if you have less than 100k in a bank isn't it pointless to draw it out just to go along with the crowd. But all this said...

    Washington Mutul bank run?

    I went to the bank today, WM to cash a check. While I was in line, I saw 3 people at the tellers taking out thousands in cash. I asked the teller if they were having a run on the bank, she said it was really bad yesterday, it is dwindling a bit today, but still going strong. Is WM the next to...

    Can anyone recommend a good book for this?

    I have this feeling the hedge fund industry bubble is about to burst. Too much wealth was generated for nothing. Good luck trying to raise money in the next year when you start hearing about all the blow ups that are coming down the line.

    Red Hot Inflation

    Inflation in the current case has been caused by dollar weakness. Since the US deficits are in the trillions, and held by foreign investors, the current regime in the white house has created a capital flight from the US. Our current crisis is generated from the rest of the world failing to trust...

    Leverage everything to the hilt! Paulson won't allow anything to fail.

    Crude is down a little tonight, time to buy more. You have to hedge dollar inflation with Crude Oil, that's the new reserve currency until the dollar finds some stability based on fundamentals, which is a long way away.

    SEC says expanding rumor crackdown

    It's because we're seeing classic runs on the bank not seen since the early 1900's. This means the current financial system is worse than I thought. If the fed has to come in and crack down on rumors, banks must be in some deep shit. Because in a normal well functioning market, runs on a bank...

    interpretation of FNM/FRE news

    Remember, we still have the failure of Indymac. That's not good for the tape. It might be a wash at this point.

    S&P daily pivots and break-down & up Targets

    I just came across this thread and checked out your youtube site Wed-Fri. Your pivots are the shit. This market has actually been very orderly, just swinging from the very extended low and high pivots. Friday, the market bounced off the extened low and resumed to rally huge, then tested that...
