Thanks for the generous offer of PMing you. I'll have to decide if I want to embarrass myself by asking dumb questions.

It was mentioned on the ETF forum to sell puts on individual stocks and for protection against a general market decline to buy index puts or VIX calls (or a VIX bull spread). I am familiar with how to determine how many index puts to buy, but how would you calculate how many VIX call contracts...

Just saw this quote elsewhere: "We are paying for socialism, but we are not getting it."

I'm saying it's probably even worse than CNBS is letting on.

Wow, if these cheerleaders are saying this then it must even be worse. Foreclosure Fraud: It's Worse Than You Think...

Which part is incorrect?

That is exactly what is happening with mortgage foreclosures, credit card defaults etc. You still haven't explained where the $10 interest would come from. Let's say the guy just likes to have a $100 bill in his wallet, so he doesn't spend it or invest it. After a year he has to give the bank...

There is only $110 in the system, and the bank is keeping its $10 reserve.

Only 83.5%? Pfft! The Japs are over 200% and they are doing fine. :eek:

I don't even recall if the Fed announced a long term schedule. Or will they stop just before the election or just long enough to crash the market a little bit to gain support for QEII?

Exactly what I was going to post but you beat me to it. If Bernanke doesn't understand what is happening then we are in big trouble. But many of us already knew that.

For every analyst who claims the market is undervalued you can find another one who can prove it is overvalued.

Greed killed the capitalism so they had to back up a truck with a big load of socialist dollars and dump it on Wall Street.

CNBC's Melissa Francis: "I still believe greed is good. It is what makes capitalism work." But Melissa capitalism doesn't work. The past couple of years proved that.

When I read the title my first thought was "It must be Altucher".

Maybe they can't go bankrupt but they can default on their bonds.

Thanks for the analysis.
