Seems to me that the underlying issue is race vs. gender. Do we put the final nail in the culture wars of the 60's by electing obama? Thereby signalling that 'equality' of the races has been achieved? Or do we support the conclusion of the women's rights movement (and a shift towards a...

Under current circumstances, I am surprised that the Treasury would have difficulty in access to capital! I mean, where do you want your money?

Put up a plot of CDE against a plot of spot silver and draw your own conclusion.

Right now I'm focusing on CEF's which are trading at aggressive discounts and today are possibly going to get absolutely hammered from panic sales by retail investors/retirees (who these things are popular among). Yields quite attractive if they stay the same and some of these have just gotten...

BSC ----> JPM LEH ----> Unworthy MER ----> BAC MS ----->? GS ----->? I vote someone ends up at citibank. If its MS, GS lives. If its GS, MS....? Any thoughts?

psst. look at the discounts. If u got cojones of steel (and aren't afraid to average down), look and see.

No. Things are too far gone. Bernanke has moved past interest rate policy and into new territory. The old game no longer works, so a new game plan is being re-written as we go along. Remember that spike in the 30 yr treas last year in the summer that heralded the credit crisis and...

Brief notice on CNBC last night as well that the FED would accept equity now in exchange for treasuries. Assume it was correct but haven't researched it since. Implication is that larger banks can issue equity for capitalization in exchange for treasuries? Am I understanding this right...

Concur. But good luck buying the physical these days!

Wow! WTF!

Without hijacking the thread, order flow is absolutely valuable information and the equivalent of an 'edge'. I also have seen that first hand and if you have not, no amount of convincing will persuade you. I don't think Taowave needs defending, because he has obviously seen it firsthand, but...

So, how is goa this time of year?

Didn't they just suspend regulations on emergency payments to Cuba (from exile cubans with family at home)? Don't worry Pabst - this time instead of having them hang out on South Beach, mariel boatlift ][ will be heading to Aventura. You don't mind, right?

Man. Game on for a new cold war.

Anyone checking out the carnage in the CEF's? Nice discounts appearing as folks puke out of levered stuff. Just as an aside, CAF went this year from a sweet 30% discount to about an 8% premium while $33 was defended. Valuations now approaching the reality of the SSEC. Anyone else...

And, for the record, that's how commodities trade. Hardly smooth. But nice to have an opportunity to sell out at higher levels and then get back in to ride 'em back up.

Obvious that Gulden's snacks has developed a weather controller....

ah. so that explains thursday's price action. I was simply uninformed.

But gnome, What difference is it between a stated tax like what the democrats will enact and an implied tax through perpetual currency debasement and competitive devaluations? I mean, if top tax rate is 35% and we are debasing 12% a year, then tax rate is actually 47%. If you raise...

Perhaps Dubai for a change of pace?
