Just a note . . . Thiomersal (thimerosal) is also used in the seasonal influenza vaccine as a preservative that kills bacteria/fungus.

http://www.bea.gov/newsreleases/national/gdp/gdpnewsrelease.htm When you cut labor costs and payrolls are reduced and get real lean, productivity gains surge and so do corporate earnings. Last quarter, labor costs fell at a 5.2% rate. That's the biggest 12-month drop since records began in...

You couldn't be more WRONG comparing the US response with that of the BOJ and Japan. You are talking apples and asparagus. It's not even close. Do some homework.

First off, DeFazio has been pushing for this tax since 2001. Now, he's promoting it again as a way for Wall Street to pay for TARP. Yet, Pelosi ( in all her wisdom ) realizes that we need to wait and see if the taxpayers investment pays off on TARP, and that this could take several years...

If you actually read what came out of the House regarding "Cap & Trade" you would see that it is so freaking watered-down that it has absolutely no teeth to it because all of the major players already got to their elected officials via the lobbysts a long time ago. Besides, it has been...

That's all it is. People like DeFazio are not taken very seriously by their party. Erin Burnett is simply doing the usual scare and ratings ploy. It's a SLOWWWW week. CNBS has nothing else better to do.

Geithner worked for Stephen Friedman at the NY Fed. Everyone knows this. It was Friedman who worked at Goldman Sachs, not Geithner. And as far as your Bloomberg article is concerned highlighting the decision to pay back various counter-parties to the AIG credit default swaps ($440 billion)...

You seem to get CONFUSED awfully easily. I would suggest that it is because you are lazy and sloppy, and just don't have a very good command of the FACTS. And yet you continue to talk about those of "us" who are biased and not objective. I suggest you take a look in the mirror, my friend. :D

From 2003 to 2008, investment in index funds tied to commodities grew by 20-fold, from $13 billion to $260 BILLION! And if you are Calpers (California's Pension Fund) and you manage $242 billion in assets, it's not that big of a deal to commit $1.1 billion into commodities swaps contracts via...

LOL! One must also take into account that in the Spring of 2008, Israel was asking the United States for two things: 1.) Bunker busting bombs. 2.) Permission to fly over Iraqi airspace. The Israeli's wanted to take out Iran's main nuclear facility in Natanz and they were in contact...

I'm sorry, but I just don't see Pelosi or Barney Frank spearheading any kind of transaction tax through the U.S. Congress.

Nice call Dr. Jerkoff! You posted that back on Sept. 12. Since then, the Dow is +713 points. No wonder why you do nothing other than spend your entire day posting in the Politics and Religion forum of ET. You've obviously blown up your account and have nothing left to trade with. :D

Neely was looking for a "strong decline" today and once again got CRUSHED.

You don't understand. They didn't have to store it. They simply bought futures contracts and rolled from one contract into another in order to maintain their position and exposure. Data from U.S. pension funds showed an $80 BILLION increase in capital committed to the energy markets as of...

Very true. First and foremast is the fact that PTJ is a TRADER and is not married to anything or anyone besides his former super model wife! He is not a perma-bear, nor a perma-bull. He simply seeks to identify the trend of a market and climb on board!

Actually, you are wrong. Geithner is in fact a Democrat.

Agreed 100%

First off, I don't think that Geithner speaks in what you referred to as double-speak at all. I think that it is pretty clear that he is a market fundamentalist. He still believes in the markets. Furthermore, not only does he believe in the markets and marketplace, but he is a pragmatist as...

Agreed. It was all "theater" for Kevin Brady, trying to set a "negative" tone right off the bat during the Q&A. It was partisan politics as usual, and had absolutely NOTHING to do with the FACTS. Had I been Geithner, I may have jumped up out of my seat and choked Brady . . . giving him all...

Your understanding of Econ. 101A is so absolutely twisted that it defies all description.
