Obama & Goldman Sachs are in bed together. It's funny to see so many on ET cry about Obama being bad for Wall Street when he got absurd amounts contributed to his campaign from Wall Street.

It is easy to come up with the solution, the transition will be hard, but the problem has to faced, instead of bandaged up. Fix the monetary system, cut down government about 75%, cut down taxes, bring down the over-inflated cost of living (due to regulation, taxes, money supply growth...

2 more days till delivery period starts. IB is probably just taking extra precaution, they are anally retentive, after all. OI is on April, but Volume is still on Feb and may stay higher there even into delivery period.

So he is in the minority of bubble traders who survived the tech bust and saved his fortune. Props for that. Seems like he trades in the same balls to the wall manner of those days. I don't see what is so impressive, the main difference is that he can avoid to take big risks, swing...

Don't you live in NYC? Step out much? Luxury retail stores are shutting down one by one. I like to make a hobby of it, pinpointing which one will close within a month, fun game. Old wealth has their luxury retailers established from years ago. Most of the ones that popped up in the last...

Meant sell-side

Let me put it this way. A few posters here have mentioned this fact, and it is true. Back in the day, aristocrat did not necessarily mean rich. It was about character, a certain stature and status in society. That whole concept has been lost, it's only about $$$ numbers now. You can't...

Interesting, I'm gonna look up this whole bill.

It was obvious, why are people even responding seriously? Intelligence levels been dropping here lately.

No, they don't make that much from the commission streams. Commissions are rock bottom, these are not the days of ridiculous overrides. It's a low margin game and gets tighter every year There is a lot more money in market making for buy side firms while not dealing with thousands of...

Well, you gotta understand, the guys have nothing to offer besides their money. They have little or no character, no respectable qualities, just their earnings. Plenty of posters here with the same mentality. If you judge your self-worth with $$$ amounts, don't be surprised that noone will...

The wellpaid useful idiots simply assume and follow the groupthink. Taxes on speculators = good is generally what they believe because that is what the public quickly believes. The way I see it, the tax has two purposes: 1) Appeasement to the masses 2) Attack on the litle guy trader If...

What is your point? The ultra rich live in secluded bubbles, we already know that.

Almost every single legislation since the daytrader boom of the late 1990s was because the Wall Street elites did not like the new competition from the little guy. The one I thought was most clever was decimalization, which had more than one purpose. [B] Can't do that, need to keep up...

Hilarious. I'm reading and keep thinking it's satire, but the really crazy thing is that it's real. What has this world come to?

LOL Thain & Mack. Don't believe a word that comes out of their mouth. You can bet your ass they are embezzling TARP funds as fast as possible. Nevermind the multi millions in compensation they received while the mortgage derivative scam was going on. By the way, did you miss the news...

So silver is cheaper than copper, nickel & tin? :confused: :confused: :confused:

I don't care if there is a bailout or not, I never agreed to it and opposed it via letters to my congressmen. Last I checked, the people were against it, so it is a robbery. I don't care if the employees are worthwhile, they don't mean sh*t to me, and it's my and the people's money. If they...
