maybe murdoch just supports the candidate he feels will produce as much divisive talk show content as possible. it certainly seems a big switch from gw to hillary

lol wow that's great

hopefully they're cash settled!

I'm not sure the country is ready for ron paul. Talking to politico kids straight from the NJ Governor's Ball tonight (clinton was the big atendee), a life experienced 64 year old black man, a 30-ish white philosophy teacher from a nearby city... etc, ppl who strongly identify as democrats...

There was an interesting story in this month's Harper's titled 'Undoing Bush' that made the surprising case that the dollar was and is still highly overvalued. I think they were coming from a pov centered on US manufacturing decay and trade defecit, which are legitimate victims of the clinton...

ditto ron paul i was watching various youtube clips of him speaking and debating last night, and was surprised at the impact and strength of his arguments even being reasonably familiar with his written work. i didn't realize the extent of his speaking and debating talent. he makes good...

ditto that... i just ditched mcafee today. i was getting several popups a day offering an upgrade and their support has downgraded to chat only. their 'solution' for the annoying product offers was to reinstall the software using their special tool (as if the built in uninstaller from them...

in general that's been the right side for the last 5 years against most assets. although the dollar now sits relatively close to the historical bottom of it's range so it's tricky to commit without more information contrary to most western currencies, in this particular case the yen is...

if you expect dollars to appreciate and you make money as a trader while they do, you'll be earning cheap dollars that will presumably be gaining in value at the same time you're making them

only dropping in to point out that your 'aliens landing on the wh lawn' scenario has a basis in comments from both legitimate media and the fed governor himself why should the relatively higher growth rates of emerging economies have a mutually exclusive relationship to the fed's hypothetical...

are you saying Robert Heller was a wackjob? He's the one that suggested it... "An appropriate institution should be charged with the job of preventing chaos in the market: the Federal Reserve....The Fed already buys and sells foreign exchange to prevent disorderly conditions in foreign...

lol you're such an antagonist. it was mainstream news in 2001 http://www.guardian.co.uk/wtccrash/story/0,,552568,00.html

if there's real liquidity there in the first place, shouldn't it persist, screen or pit? pit restricts the advantage, screen just opens it up to the best taker if the concern is fake liquidity on the screen - it might not be fake, just faster and better integrated accross markets, right?

do you mean inflation?

Amazing - Myspace is censoring Ron Paul content What country am i in?

yeah beaurocracy can be frustrating, and trade desks are a little harder/busier/less voluntary as we all know. i really like tradestation, although these chronic data issues with nymex contracts going back to QM last year, are really difficult to work with. have to constantly keep an eye on it...

sorry to hear that, but at least we know it's probably not us. i sent market data services a screenshot comparing all 2007 months for both contracts and brokers this afternoon. literally only one last price out of 14 was correct it almost looks like you're comparing different contracts, but...

anyone else have chronic problems with buggy nymex data in tradestation? today it went out completely for a while, but besides todays issue, comparing contracts like RB and CL between interactive brokers and TS, TS will simply leave out tons of trades then snap back a few trades later

definitely shouldn't punish winners, but you shouldn't punish the losers either and the current money creation process is biased in favor of banks at the expense of everyone else

i agree. capitalism should reward actors for making intelligent investment decisions based on the relative merits of assets, not just for having assets at all vs those who do not. with every asset class in a steep inflation, it's more about what you have already than your ability to...
