This is why I stick to equity markets and have multiple brokerage accounts to stay under SIPC limits. You can't trust these people. I would not touch a futures account.

14.8% is our U6 unemployment. I do not see us going back to 1999-2000 levels. Our economy has structurally changed in the 21st century and we have a surplus of humans with no place to employ. Automation of jobs and offshoring of others is here to stay. The only way out is something...

I would legalize drugs, stop the war on drugs going on in mexico. And just tax the Cartels a %. If Americans want to do drugs that is there problem, not Mexico's mess.

What did these 5K people do. Obviously they had no value so why were they employed to begin with? If RIMM can just dump them like ballast in one day. Large corporations must be full of bloat and excess employees. I wonder what % of employees are a wash and could be layed off. I bet like...

They don't produce anything. What have you bought lately made in greece? Even Greek Yogurt is not made in Greece. They don't make software either. So how are they going to pay the Germans back?

But that is the wrong solution. They should have handled it like the S&L crisis with the liquidations of bad banks, create an RTC etc.. The TARP/Bank bailouts was the wrong solution and now we have this money blackhole.

I am not saying money supply is the issue, but money in circulation amongst the population of US. There is massive money printing,QE etc.. but the bales of currency are locked up in some kind of monetary blackhole. You print, you increase the supply but it gets sucked into a a great...

Its like if there is some kind of monetary black hole with a strong gravitational pull. So the escape velocity is so strong that the money printing is not enough to break out of this. I guess the bank bailouts and stuffing banks with money is not working since it just ends up sitting in...

With wages dropping/unemployment rising and people cutting back, restricted/expensive credit for consumers. Wont some form of deflation strike? It is a paradox deflation. Treasury yields are low, money printing keeps happening but somehow the money is not circulation so what is happening to...

If I sell a put with 370 days out will the gain be considered longterm at 15%?

How big is the NY DSDE expected to grow? From what I heard, the DSDE will be tasked with inspecting restaurants and customers to insure compliance with the law.

But its used not new. Wow deprecation on those bags is rough.

#1 permawars, waging wars for corporate interests and keeping contracting firms making money. #2 bailouts for banks/wallstreet. #3 govt funded and backed loans to the college industry. #4 subsides to industries (ie solyndra etc..) corn lobby/ethanol. #5 Food stamps and medicaid...

When you hear things like this, it harkens to the end times of the Roman empire.

Not FB options. I stick to SPY. I do not like exposing myself to something like FB.

And the US does trade with a country like China that does not even allow its currency to float on the open market like everyone else, nor let its citizens convert freely like everyone else. We did not do business with the Soviet Union back when they were red, yet we do with china.

But who will pay for our permawars and free security services we offer the world? That aint free someone has to pay for it.

I prefer to avoid FB in all forms. and the option premiums are expensive.
