diff thread unfortunately

if we had the full text of the original thread, i would scour it. it seems like something in there was apparently not fit for public consumption seriously, why was it removed. there was a lot of good information in that thread

just to be clear, we're talking about two different issues here. 1. as a lender, the fed technically does receive interest from the US govt (which it rebates back to the treasury) 2. as a nation, we borrow then create fiat currency to service the massive interest on our spiraling debt...

I wonder what happened to the original thread yesterday. Here's the first day of it, cached on google http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:fffpOs2u6-oJ:www.elitetrader.com/vb/printthread.php%3Fthreadid%3D101890+elitetrader+fed+private&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2&gl=us unfortunately there were some...

not exactly related, but i saw this today and found it interesting: "During Rove's tenure at the College Republicans, the organization was accused of encouraging "dirty tricks" in the 1972 campaign. Rove has acknowledged that in 1970 he used a false identity to get into the headquarters of a...

i see what you're saying but, imo not necessarily. once one or two major networks/names began to coalesce, who would dare fight that tide, especially if the man got into the office, your business and cred would be screwed for 8 years. very risky call to make i'm not an expert on the 2000...

thank god for the objectivity of major media. you're right, never mind

no, actually we don't. this president was selected by a court

that sounds like the agenda of the specialists they're hanging around... attribute the vol to whatever rule changes have disadvantaged them in the last year

thanks vm for the clarification. what do they do with the emergency cash from the repo'd paper? is it basically a reprieve from having to liquidate other assets like stock, etc to cover their temporary cash needs or until their overall position improves? i think that if we're so...

the argument goes both ways. is the pro intervention crowd interested in short term solutions to longer term systemic problems?

lol .. smugness drops both of your odds of being successful traders from 5% down to...

doesn't really matter, there's always a counterparty right? when the banks recovered their cash problems, etc due to fed intervention, if they bought any eq futs as a result, those counterparties got kind of screwed, whoever they were you could also argue that if fed intervention supports...

oh please. you could say the #2 sign is a guy who always shows up bragging about his prowess or playing know-it-all i'm not a short. i've been doing fine lately. point is re the sustainability of an economy based on lax credit and bailouts. legality of bailouts, etc

def missing the point

it raises an interesting question though. obviously when you short you take the risk that natural free market forces move the market against you. what about when it's a deliberate action by a quasi governmental body to save failing institutions who used too much leverage? isn't that the...

when central banks conduct timed injections or loans to failing overleveraged institutions, who's losing the p&l that the failing institutions are recovering? it doesn't seem fair that banks and funds who were allowed to use gargantuan amounts of leverage to muscle money out of the market...

who you gonna call?
