well i dont like to put my neck on the chopping block but here goes. I think it could minus 250 thousand to 300 thousand. yes thats right -250k to -300 k . possible more. my reasoning. the bls birth/death model has added quite a lot of jobs each month for the last 6 months based...

personally i did not view this as particularly good news. the system is still stretched and in the process of de-leveraging. the credit crunch is over comments and the now famously touted cnbc led ' the bottom is in' mentioned again yesterday for the 20th time just add and support my view...

a pig with lipstick? nothing changes. federal officials in denial again.

seriously think long and hard before your next move. you will be a self employed trader backed with your own money. you are interviewing them. not they interviewing you. my advise is this: get a full time employed job in trading support/back office/middle office etc. learn the...

July 28 (Bloomberg) -- Forget everything you've read about how woefully undercapitalized Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are. The situation is much worse. Unlike other companies, the two government-chartered mortgage financiers publish quarterly fair-value balance sheets showing what the...

more importantly. when the dow is below 10500 and the financials are below the lows when the rules were announced/came into effect the sec is going to look rather stupid is it not. because it has taken the view rightly or wrongly that this naked short selling/short selling is a cause of...

in my humble opinion they changed the rules of the game to help financials. they obviously were not going to allow them to be destroyed. they were too big too fail. i think more importantly as history has proven when you try to alter the course of something that fundamentally is trying...

now you know why these stocks got hit so hard. nothing to do with short sellers manipulating the stock. the fundamental fact remains that their model is over valued and no longer works. Fannie Mae, the largest U.S. mortgage finance company, couldn't find a buyer who would pay $6,900...

The game is changing boys. Expect more of this and more changes to other ways the game is played. The days of speculation are coming to an end. An emergency rule to curb abusive short selling will likely be extended beyond 19 major financial firms as pressure mounts on the U.S...

another great example of western capitalism exported around the world and not working.

Recession-Plagued Nation Demands New Bubble To Invest In WASHINGTON—A panel of top business leaders testified before Congress about the worsening recession Monday, demanding the government provide Americans with a new irresponsible and largely illusory economic bubble in which to invest...

obviously not.

made small off it. nothing life changing.

could be quite interesting viewing. maybe if the americans win 1,2 and 3 in the 100 metre sprint they could all wear a black glove on a hand, raise a clenched fist during the presentation of the medals in protest of losing their homes, seeing their pensions go down the pan invested in stocks...

take what you want from this: TOMORROW'S INFLATION REPORT WILL BE A REAL DOOZY AS if it didn't have enough to worry about, Wall Street tomorrow will have to deal with the latest consumer inflation report. And it might not be pretty. Back in May, I had an exclusive interview with Pat...
