To repeat: Hawaii is satisfied. The State Dept had only his birth records to go on. Those state he was born in Hawaii. No different than mine stating I was born in NYC. Period, exclamation point, etc. Doesn't get any simpler.

Hawaii's already said he's one of theirs, and that they have sufficient stuff to prove it. The State Dept long ago issued him a passport (the records for which brain-damaged idiots like the ones posting to this thread tried to get their hairy hands on), and that would have been partially based...

This is analogous to 1968, when there were multiple currency crises. It started in 1967, with a run on the pound, continued into 1968, with a dollar crisis that led to the breakup of the London Gold Pool, and finished in the fall with a crisis in the franc. Like today's crisis, it was...

In hot places it's common for folks to have a flat roof, put some chairs and planters on it, and then put the real roof for the house over that. The second roof catches the sun and keeps it off the house, and you get a nice terrace in the bargain.

I don't think resistance is going to hold. Under normal circumstances, you could look at 850 like that. But these are far from normal times. Old saying is that the bears have Thanksgiving, but the bulls have Christmas. So, we may see some consolidation next week, but I think December sees us...

Might you be talking about the <a href="http://www.safehaven.com/article-9335.htm" target="$">Bank of United States?</a>

south america starts a sucker's rally thread??? Definitely a bottom. Maybe not THE bottom, but this has got to be good for a few weeks and maybe a few hundred SP500 points at least.

Priceless comedy, truly. I know everyone is getting used to these crazy VIX levels, but really, when it gets this high, shorting is suicidal. Better to be on the sidelines or, if one is in a daredevil mood, long. But short? Suicidal.

[ET Obnoxious Mode]OOH! OOH! I called it!!![/ET Obnoxious Mode] I hope that's the last time I feel like I have to do that. Somehow, I doubt it.

He's always been about satire. I'm always amazed that no one here seems to get it.

Well, we're very close to the end of this party. Think about it: GM, Ford, Citi, Fannie, Freddie, AIG are all in single digits. MS is close. Other once big firms are gone: BSC, LEH, MER, WM. All the juice has pretty much been squeezed from the downside. GE, GS, MSFT aren't going to single...

Nice way of admitting the kind of scum you are.

Wipe the froth from your mouth. I can't even remember what age I was the last time I made as little as 50k in a year. Still had hair, I'm sure. And I spend a good part of my time trying to figure out how to avoid the AMT. I even know how to spell dividend. Imagine that.

I suppose 88 was on your football jersey? Or do you just not care?

Nine months old, in terms of political maturity. Yeesh.

I'm having an amazing day. I think the market - which already knows who's going to win - likes what it sees, at least for now. I can just imagine what this thread would look like if we were having a down day today. It seems the Republic will survive, again. Wotta surprise.

What a bunch of losers. The world is not coming to an end. It survived WWI, WWII, and even, omigod, FDR. It'll survive Obama. And so will you, unless you really are a loser.

Good news: Regardless of who wins, there'll be an adult with a working brain in the White House in a couple of months.

At some point, given some sort of intrinic value to an asset, it will be "sold out"; those folks that are left holding it are not going to sell. It's at that point that the bottom is in and a sustainable rise can commence. Usually, trading is pretty quiet in the asset in question. Hence the...

Opening seems to predict the close lately. Up opening, so voting up close (+200).
