For which firm? I only know that one CEO of a big firm declined the bonus and the automaker execs agreed to no bonus. That's it. I also remember Morgan Stanley begging for TARP money cause they did not have cash to pay compensation. That is screaming Bankruptcy. I mean, let's be serious...

Do you even know what communism means? Cause you sound retarded. Dude, if you LOVE this so much, go donate your money to AIG, so that they can pay even more in retention bonuses. Please do so.

No, they did not screw up, they knew exactly what they were doing, getting large bonuses from the scam. They were getting paid, bigtime. And then they play pretend as if it was all a big mistake. You can bet your ass no such mistake would have happened if they had to repay back all bonuses...

I don't understand why this is a difficult concept. Look, if you work for a small business and it has failed, where do you expect your salary & bonus to come from? Do you then insist that the business owner still pay you, cause you did good work and can continue to do good work? Cry to...

Look, in reality, most Wall Street "professionals" might as well be selling used cars, cause all they can really do well is bullsh*t. Any individual truly talented & not a crooked piece of sh*t leaves those firms.

No, I think it's you who has no idea how the real world operates. Most politicans are corrupt and play the game. They know exactly what they are doing. And they keep pretending as if they give a shit about you or anyone else besides their inner circle & their masters. When things turn out...

Broadway Trading again? Enough of the comedy. You may fool some, but not others. That shop is famous for being Blow Out Central when the Tech Bubble was busting. It was actually one of the first shops to go and was one of the loudest blow outs.

So go ahead and pay them with your money, since you're so happy to do so. Go make a donation. Company bonuses don't happen when the company fails. Since these companies have failed, there should be no bonus. Instead, they are having the people foot the bill. So wait, should I start a...

It will be worse, because most of the money supply is cut off from the people. Meanwhile, inflation will take its course. During the 1930s, Americans had savings, low leverage and knew how to survive. They had self substinence skills. Nowdays, few have savings, most are overleveraged and...

Not thinking very hard, are we today? Do you mean the same Morgan Stanley that had to be converted to a money market center just so that they could survive? And then hit up the TARP funds to pay compensation? First of all, if you are such a great trader, you can go make more on your own...

Is this an argument? Buffet runs (well ran) a profitable company and had a stake in it. He also let his investors know that he will buy their stock anytime. He built that company, and if building that company involved him having a jet, then he might as well have it. If the shareholders did...

We are in favor of letting these parasitic institutions collapse instead of being forced to bail them out and pay their bonuses. Since you're so f**king happy to see this, how about you pay our taxes?

You did not state anything factual, you simply implied that corporate jets are a necessity and anyone who critisizes has no clue. Common sense tells you that corporate private jets are a luxury, and really, are just another way for the top executives to suck money out of the corporation. In...

LOL Broadway Trading. I remember the days of that shop. Straight up gamblers. That article is funny. Seems to be the same gambling mentality with balls to the wall trading approach. Take a large position, then scream at the screen about how the price should move up.

I find it amusing that executives feel as if they need a corporate jet at all. Especially when the company is sinking under its own pile of shit and cannot make a penny. I don't know why you have such bias or love for corporate executives. Maybe you're an executive compensation lawyer, an...

It never went anywhere, one has to be very naive & gullible to think that bloodlines which ruled the world for thousands of years simply dissapeared.

Just about any prop firm will take your business if you're putting $5k down. Your volume is low, so commission won't be the best. And there will be some fees, which are normally waived for those who do enough volume.

Let's be real, the Yen gets inflated like the rest. You're talking about a nation who was lending out money at 0%. The Swiss Franc is a better bet, although, it has been a total fiat since 2002 or 2005. Real assets is where it's at. Gold, silver, food, energy generation and water. Oh...

It's called due diligence. As I stated, a fool and his/her money. She was an obvious mark. Plenty of wealthy individuals & professional investors quickly declined and said it was a ponzi when looking at Madoff, even when Madoff first opened his fund. Read the 2005 report submitted to SEC...

Try to at least be somewhat objective in your statements. If they are successful traders, then the volatility due to the financial crisis is generating tremendous profits, hence more cash to spend. But then, those traders are usually frugal and don't waste money on overpriced luxury items...
