Well said. Labor is now the cheapest commodity of all - it's what the NWO wanted for a long time, and it's only intensifying. Human labor is cheap. Humans are being treated accordingly. [It didn't help at all that U.S and Western Europe Labor Unions fleeced the goose that was laying the...

I'm thinking of doing something similar. I've made more money on options this year than ever before.

The figures just keep rising, and rising, and rising, and.....

I don't know what's scarier: His financial distress, or that fact that he may be typical of 'nuclear security' guards in this country. :eek:

I have a friend that owns a car dealership chain (well, his father owns it), and I swear to all of you, they are regularly getting customers who buy new cars and are getting 120 month loans. Don't even ask about the % rate.

People who consume large quantities of fish tend to have higher intelligent quotients than their non-fish eating peers.

The plain truth is that Americans are war weary. Regardless of the arguments of going to war, it is so. McCain may or may not win the Presidency (it's way too fluid to call, and the economy is really volatile right now), but if he does, it will be despite, and not because of, his Iraq...

lt, I'm loaded to the gills with $7.50 calls and $2.50 puts. I closed 75% of my $7.50 call position yesterday. Puts are radically cheap. There's total market confidence a $10 deal is booked.

Someone here turned me on to Creature from Jekyll Island, and I will be forever grateful. One of the best reads ever! Completely altered my attitude about the matrix.

You have another chance to book profits (assuming you can) and get the hell out of this market. It's a gift, really. The market rallied back some after the initial 2/28/08 post I first made, giving you a wide open door to exit before the truly terrible fundamentals of this economy really...

That seems pretty good from a calorie standpoint. It's also not bad in terms of soluble fiber. I am fairly confident that any bread made with anything other than refined, white flour is going to be superior. I digress a little bit, but I don't eat white potatoes anymore. I only eat sweet...

I honestly don't know. I'm not going to blame Baron. I'm pretty confident he can't possibly know what all the mods choose to do. There should be some objective criteria by which threads get deleted, though, and nothing - NOTHING - in my thread could have possibly been interpreted as...

I've been positioned with a straddle since last Friday, and it's already paid off in spades. I'm still straddled - I don't care if it goes to $20, or goes back to $2 or $0. I'll make even more.

JP Morgan Rolls the Fed of New York (and BSC) March 25, 2008 By Christopher Whalen "My reason for presenting these hitherto uncorrelated facts of financial history is the hope that they may dispel, in part at least, the miasma of propaganda created by the great minds of Wall Street to...

JPM Guilty of Grand Theft Investment Bank March 25, 2008 | about stocks: BSC / JPM By Vahan Janjigian J.P. Morgan's (JPM) acquisition of Bear Stearns (BSC) is starting to look more and more like a crime with the Federal Reserve and Treasury Department guilty of aiding and abetting...

I put 'VIX' in the thread title because 'volatility' wouldn't fit. So, technically, you're right on that. That chart you attached concerns the Dow. You may want to broaden your horizons and encompass the S&P. From the article I cited and quoted: "Most Since 1938 Daily changes of 1...

You might be right. I thought someone would say something along those lines...maybe 20 posts in. Nice.

Depends on the time the loan was taken out and the covenants regarding readjustment. Most student loans readjust periodically, and typically move in lockstep with overall prime/libor.

Mutual Funds Abandon Stock Market as Volatility Jumps (Update4) By Eric Martin and Alexis Xydias http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601213&sid=avDrLXEpOgUE&refer=home March 24 (Bloomberg) -- Mutual funds are selling stocks and hoarding cash just as trading surges to a record and...

Why would you want to short debt that can't be discharged in bankruptcy proceedings? Student loan debt follows the debtor for LIFE, no matter what. It's one of the many benefits lenders received via the manna-from-heaven renegotiated bankrupty statute. FMD is a buy, baby.
