i might have to start watching bloomberg now, losing erin burnett and mark haines back to back leaves a void on cnbc during the time i normally watch it- and i don't think that new blond girl is very smart that i'm sure they are going to plug in there, likely with the brittish guy i also don't...

+1 but was it their fault? or the politician's fault because they made laws mandating that banks make these bad loans. but then again i guess it comes back to the average american who voted those dumbass politicians into office in the first place.

i don't recognize stops on any one position that i put on, but i put a 5% stop loss on my entire days trading. that has worked quite well for me. sometimes i'll hit it because i lost 1-2% on 3 different trades at the same time and hit my 5% for the day, but more often than not it is just one...

well since politicians mandating overextending loans to people who can't afford them- i'm not surprised no one has really taken any blame. politicians won't ever take the blame for the financial collapse that they caused. just like they won't take any of the blame for the shitstorm that the...

well i know a lot of people (northwestern university (private)) who couldn't get by on only the government subsidized loans and also had to take out private loans to cover the gap. they had to have their parents cosign to get any of these. "Total undergraduate tuition, fees, room and board...

the worst is the parents who co-signed. they are screwed.

well this is just a foolish statement from the get-go. the average person does not need 250k / year to live comfortably, i would daresay it must be closer to the average income per capita they'd need to get by ($47,400). now when you factor in the social security benefits that cover about half...

it's not all that bad, i believe the nfl retirement benefits fully vest after only 3 years of being a pro- so even if they only play for 3 years they still get a full pension for the rest of their lives.

well the rally and flattening continues, this along with the sell-off in the commodities market is about as close to a "get the hell out of the market" sign as the market will give until it is too late. i think we'll continue to slide in the markets now until QE3 is announced.

if they do go bust they won't go alone. it'll shake up the trading world for a bit, but then we'll all settle into some cush spreads.

is this where you are getting your scientific argument that 7 billion people are on the way to death from porn?

i hope you aren't writing off your internet, or cable or anything related to trading (making the unlikely assumption you are a prof trader)- because it is the exact same write off. why should we subsidize your trading costs? if it is profitable you'll pay anyways. or your gas if you are in...

to get an average cost of 25$ she must have bough the vast majority of her silver in the last 6 weeks.... buying starting in 2003...

you can't dodge the taxes forever though uncle sam can get ya- but i do agree overall with your premise. several condo owners in my building have done this and the first one finally lost control of the condo only a month ago. for a couple years he was just collecting rent for free.

SouthAmerica- although I do agree with your thoughts on the ultimate demise of the US that is coming faster than most think. I offer you an alternative explanation for why China is behaving the way it is currently. If you view this situation as a game with the current "era" ending when the US...

so i can buy for 1$ now and in 2 years sell for 2$--- where do i robosign?

if you trade znzb at a 5x3 ratio as per the ics it has been weak each day this past week. i assumed that would be flattening in the yield as well but apparently not- i never actually look at interest rate %'s with my trading strategies. and today we are selling off and it is strong, the bond...

the last week every single day we've rallied the nob has gotten weaker, that is what i'm referring too. normally when we rally the nob strengthens up, but this past week it has gotten weak each and every day while i was trading. the 2/10 obviously flattens in a rally because the tu is pegged...

ron paul!

QE2 will expire in June. So, the dollar cannot continue its bear run. This should keep gold, silver, and oil from reaching new highs. I'd rather speculate in equities, which I expect will start its deep bear run. edited
