So your issue is that ultimately "foreigners," that log into this site and speak about American politics are somehow abnormal? There are many that debate all kinds of issues all over the world (with varying degrees of vitriol) that do not affect this site or American polictics. As a citizen of...

Do you not find this Clegg fellow in the U.K. interesting? Or the BJP in India? Or the muslin/christian violence in Malay? I mean c'mon...this is our world. And you don't subscribe to the Asian Times? :D You should. I read the Gulf Times and The Straights Times and Australian Financial...

What an incredibility odd idea for a thread...and quite a strange line of thought from a moderator no less. Ivan, should "foreigners" not be interested in American politics? Should Americans not be interested in other foreign affairs both allies and foes alike? The Economist magazine does a...

Fine, he wouldn't carry Florida, Oklahoma or Arizona anyway. It would cost him nothing to ignore them. They should knock themselves out with crazy legislation. However I believe it's a moot point. I'm fairly sure I read somewhere that there's legal precedent that has effectively eliminated...

Arizona should go ahead and pass the amendment. And Barry should ignore them. In which case Barry wouldn't be legally allowed on the ballot. Then the registered voters of Arizona would be deprived of their right to vote for the presumptive Democratic nominee for President in 2012. Now...

Years ago in the early to mid 90's Pissant was the Real Estate corespondent. Then somehow suddenly he became a stock expert. You could sense the beginning of the downfall of CNBC then. It was sort of like when Don Bright got monthly column in TASC magazine. End of subscription.

About 99% of my intra-minute trading is on Autopilot so it's not all that difficult. However, the same question could be asked of anyone who day trades. How how could anyone maintain focus simultaneously on trading and CNBC? Even back in the day 10-12 years ago when money was falling out of...

Quite right. And why do you think that is? Because TARP money or the "nanny state," backstopped them and all of their counterparty's

In one sentence you argue against the "nanny state...policing credit risk." And in the very next sentence you say "institutions ought to be better regulated." Central Clearing need not be "state backed." The OCC is not state backed. It is state regulated but then you've already argued for...

Wait wait wait...You're telling me Henry Blodget's advice on ANYTHING is credible? LOL...Good one. :D

Why would the Media want to discredit the Teabaggers? Their mere existence virtually assures Barry's second term. I think you're confusing your conspiracy's

Why is it so odd to think of that published on a centralized exchange. And then if the crowd doesn't want it and a JPM jacket quotes and takes it that he then report it to the exchange and the public? Transparency is a good thing in this case. EDIT: Every bad loan to a developer as you say...

Agreed. "Centrally cleared" is a better phrase than regulated. But in essence it is the same thing. I don't understand the problem though. Non-standardized contracts are priced and quoted and sold and bought all day all long. Bank oversight is futile. Exchanges however have been fairly...

OTC derivatives should have been re-regulated 20 years ago. Vanila options have done quite well as regulated instruments. But, someone will say...Oh but that gives the European banks an advantage. I say let them have it...for now. They gots a more to worry about for now. :D EDIT: And...

A back room deal for the Sec of State? You kid, of course.

The winner is everything right? If the teabaggers are as they have been(or appear to be) ...they will put their anti-christ back in office for a second term. It's very simple. Tell me you can't see this?

The Clinton Machine found absolutely nothing after vetting the guy for two years. And you tools claim that you may do better than that? Good LOL God!

You may be missing the bigger picture here. That is when the teabaggers dilute the collective Republician vote. And then they put in your anti-christ as President again. Much the like the Perot Voters of '92. In fact ...write it in stone. It will happen.

Well due to the "One child policy," and the subsequent extermination of many many female fetuses, surprise(as in no shit)! The great china state has a MASSIVE deficit of young females. I've read reports that as many as 100 million females don't exist for suitable mates. This will cause...

Dude ...we're 13 months into prosperity. Where have you been?
