Eggs are fantastic for you. Don't let anyone tell you differently. The most important consideration in the degree of healthfulness of eggs is what was fed to the hen that produced them. We all know that medical and nutritional science is revised constantly, and whole paradigm shifts occur...

I'm socially moderate, and I'm fiscally conservative (as in core conservativism, not neo-Republican babble-ism). The fact that someone zapped my thread is a red flag blowing in the wind that something is seriously wrong with this country, where discussing the objective fiscal cost of an...

Why apologize? To whom? If there's anyone on this site who hasn't been wrong before, they either never ventured an opinion, or they should be running a 5 trillion dollar fund.

Thank you. I'm still hedged with some incredibly cheap puts in case the deal falls apart and BSC plunges. If that happens, I'll really make a fortune.

Some guy on Bloomberg who claims it's certainly going to go through, and JPM will end up with BSC's coveted prime brokerage business, but it will likely be bid up to 15 or even 20 before the deal closes as bondholders are climbing in to guarantee a JPM (and really fed reserve) backstop on their...

They're high.

I would not be the least bit surprised to see BSC bid back up to the 20ish range, and I've been spot on so far. Profit from it. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=121965

I'd say $10 (assuming it gets done for that) is 5x as much $2. And it might go higher. But even if it doesn't, who's your daddy? [j/k] (A high risk-high reward position lies if you are willing to bet on a pullout by JPM, in which case BSC trades back down at the $2 and under level)...

How could anyone find a thread stating facts about the fiscal costs of the Iraq War and its effects on the U.S. economy objectionable? Does anyone finding such a discussion objectionable want to offer up their viewpoint?

I'm beginning to notice that. There seems to be a bizarre litmus test employed.

If you believe (a big if) the shorts, the removal in CC from the S&P will prompt institutional selling (Philip Morris will replace CC on the S&P). Look, I'm biased, as I'm long CC, so take whatever I say with an even larger grain of salt than usually. However, of all retail segments, I...

I can tell you right now from first hand experience that buyers with 720+ credit scores and even 10% to 19% down are having trouble being approved for mortgages on new homes/condos. Real estate development is what I do, so this is not some BS; it's really the situation that I see with my own...

FT, when she purportedly said that, it was in response to urgent warnings from her minions that the people were panicking, because there wasn't enough bread to go around. Her response, 'let them eat cake,' was interpreted as a flippant and dispassionate dismissal of the crisis affecting the...

I posted a thread titled 'Iraq War costing U.S. taxpayers $5,000 per second' and it somehow magically disappeared into the abyss; poof, down the rabbit hole. I went to great pains to point out that I wanted to discuss the economic impact of the war's costs, and asked people to not politicize...

I'm buying that tankless hot water heater I've had my eye on at Lowe's for $799 rather than $1,199, and yes, I'm serious.
