"A real solution that can buy us the time we need... " The title of this thread seems contradictory. A real solution? Yet all it does is buy time? How about fixing the wrongs and purging the excesses? Makes no sense to me.

I see. Apologies for the misunderstanding.

This is a common belief but wrong. History shows that inflation can occur when there is a flight from the currency. High employment and high consumer spending are not necessary requirements. If the loss of faith in the currency outpaces the unwillingness to pay higher prices, then people...

It went negative today. It's officially more safe to put your money under your mattress. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aJP3g3Yhzat0 Treasury Bills Trade at Negative Rates as Haven Demand Surges By Daniel Kruger and Cordell Eddings Dec. 9 (Bloomberg) --...

I used to work in the field... Your eyesight may deteriorate slightly, if at all, from excessive computer work. But there is little evidence that computer work, watching too much TV, reading too close, etc. has a major permanent effect on acuity. What usually happens is that the ocular...

Can any economists or wanna be economists out there answer my question... Did Japan ever get raging inflation with their near zero interest rates? And if not, why not?

You mentioned MFs and futures. MFs I understand. With some MFs you have to get your order in 15 min before market close. That could be the high of the day, but by the close, these days, we could easily be at low of the day 15 min later. But what problems are you having with futures?

Does anyone follow FXP? It has been extremely volatile this month, but to the point where its movements makes no sense, at least to me. It has gone from 90 to 170 to 80 to 180 to 90. Just since September. With that kind of movement, I'm surprised it isn't very traded here. Has this...

Has the market become numb to these -8% asian and european days? Or is this the calm before the storm. The market is relatively calm for the VIX being in the high 70's, that we broke our Oct lows, and that the market opened lock limit down. You wouldn't know from the uptrend so far that...

Eagle hit the nail on the head. He is exactly right. I will further explain from another perspective, albeit making a few assumptions along the way. How many times have we been able to hold a contract for 30 points after being profitable right from the point of entry? Close to never...

Looking at the chart, this just struck me. The market has moved point-wise almost 50% of it's price from bottom last Friday to top Tuesday morning back to the bottom this morning. That's gotta be one for the books.

It's broken above Fridays high. Hang on. ...and if you find that you must trade this market, decrease your size.

This market is truly a sight to behold. At this point, there must be accounts everywhere getting wiped out with every tick down.

MS is trading like word from the inside is leaking out that it won't be around for much longer. The price action looks deathly familiar. Anyone hearing anything worthy?

It's a good thing I listened to Cramer. After holding all year, I sold all my stocks today at 2:45pm EST and am now safe in cash. Thanks, Jimmy!

Like all indicators, use him at the most extreme.

The clown is feeling the pain. ...on the other hand, Rev Shark is finally looking to buy after sidestepping the entire decline. Pfft...I know I'm sticking with my buddy Cramer.

Does anyone remember days when/if the Fed did an emergency rate cut in the middle of the day? Searched and couldn't find much and my memories hazy. Fed fund futures are at 100% 50bps rate cut for this month.

>>>Strategery is a unique hedge fund. It is the largest in the world, with expected initial capital of $700 billion. It has a free and unlimited credit line should it need more. It has no fixed mandate, though it is expected to initially focus on mortgage-backed securities. And it is the...

Is there an official time for the House to vote on the bill today?
