I wonder what the effect would be if Trump turned independent. Would he be looked upon more as a conservative democrat? Would he start to impinge upon Bernie's vote?

china still has some dry powder to prop the banks for a bit, the bigger worry regarding banks is the so called PIGS. They were given a band aid back in 2008 and QE helped to cover up the problem and kick the can for a while but now here we are. QE no longer working in EU, negative rates is a...

yea agree... and, for me, much of the problems are related to relying too much on very low cost real time market info and low cost trading (within retail brokers... market/quote/charting info nor brokerage services are really low cost, you will pay in other ways). The lesson learned is 1) pay...

yes fully agree. And it all becomes very odd in that the Nobel is awarded in Sweden and Norway with some committees and offices in Finland and that these countries may have gotten some degree of added social democracy into capitalism correct, yet they award Nobel Prizes in Economics to mostly US...

yes, there is no question that OPEC and Russia/Iran will indeed reduce production cooperatively as they all have it in their best interest as friends and close allies. In fact, as Iran has just been allowed to start selling oil I am sure they will be fine with an immediate cut in production. And...

Sorry I wasn't trying to knock your post...I don't live in EU right now and I am trying to learn more about the current state of affairs

Yea...that is NOT at all what she said. Maybe you have very selective (or wishful) hearing.... But you should listen more closely as there is a -Gap- between what is said and what You here

Belgium is small and unique and I am not familiar with it but I am Familiar with Netherlands and it doesn't reflect any of the characteristics you mention above, in fact it is incredibly productive and energetic for such a small country with high levels of education, employment, business...

you guys do know that most of the frackers longer-term hedges are expiring as we speak right? There has not been any activity regarding setting up new hedges as of now in either direction so we are running straight production prices to contract sparking front month and 1st and 2nd month futures...

This thread heading should have included how Bernie's presidential run would affect the republican nominee's chances (the party that is friendly to trading as we know it) The democrats did have some momentum after Bush with all the notions that Republicans are just an old boys club etc...

Yellen was asked point blank regarding the recent turmoil whether she had plans to lower rates or utilize a twist intervention and she stated that economic growth and employment growth was meeting targets and that the Fed had no plans to reduce rates or add accommodative measures going forward...

ECB openly stating today that they are 'buying stocks' at low points through out the day. Japan and Fed mostly definitely doing the same thing. Our very recent volatility really should just be selling activity with some basing and buying at technical areas before another leg down. The rocket...

Not so sure it is volatility as we all know it. Looks more like (especially today) CBs trying in pure desperation to squeeze at the lower points every time is swoons down and some large bank trading desks following the CBs for a few quick points in desperate hope of starting a rally. Reason CBs...

Not really sure how Bernie's election would effect trading, but I think after New Hampshire, the markets are a bit rattled that he is running close as a democratic nominee. Might be better if Bloomberg stepped in quickly and took the uncertainty away on the Democratic side. Not sure if it is too...

Administrative divisions[edit] Main article: Cantons of Switzerland The Swiss Confederation consists of 20 cantons and 6 half cantons The cantons have a permanent constitutional status and, in comparison with the situation in other countries, each have a high degree of independence. Under the...

Finally....finally somebody said it. Hundreds of hours looking and reading threads on ET and this is the first time anyone here has come right out and said that all this ZIRP and QE has been what the real problem is and is still what the real problem is. It didn't work in 2000 and was made worse...

$25 looks like target for this range. Once there, I think support at $25 for a bit.... But yea, fully agree at the $25 target near term

well, not sure about the US but before it all ends the Fed will destroy most all other economies around the world in fact they have already gotten off to a good start

swiss banks will stay and become even more the last bastions of being able to perform reserve banking, earn interest, hide wealth, protect wealth, protect money against irregular CB actions and generally allow wealth transfers and allow wealth to migrate up to the 1% Swiss banking IS the very...

yea,... the're going to cling to this empty teat, cry for it, tantrums, threaten suicide, 'act out aggressively' for it, make threats, yammer at the mouth incessantly for it.....weaning a child after breast feeding him till he is 12 but really, as komish just said, rates should have been raised...
