aaa you're dying to see that youtube hack as an obama item. for chrissakes there's no way - i know you know better. funny tho to see you wishing it had some kind of divide-and-conquer traction

that's what i'm trying to say. they'll probably spend the same way, but at least on the clinton side by declaring the intention, i don't get that creepy deceptive sense that i always did from bush. he swindled the heck out of you guys on spending and tax. classic liar deadbeat re ron paul...

which would you rather have, another big government big spender republican who pretends not to be, or someone who declares their intentions up front. it's probably going to be big government either way if it was up to me we'd have ron paul giving uncle sam a lypo... but it ain't gonna...

how does hillary epitomize big brother?

rings sort of hollow to me, hillary doesn't seem like much of an orwellian figure (not that i'm necessarily planning to vote democrat). the bite just isn't there an unprecedentedly harsh attack to me... was the set of ads supporting draft dodgers while attacking a combat vet. that was just...

it looks like the CME may have removed position limits from the information and brochures listed on their site regarding stock index futures. the ER2 i believe was 1500 through middle of 06, then up to 10,000. does anyone know, has this increased again? thx

can you imagine where assets would be priced if every layer of manipulation were removed... from the cpi, gdp, job #s, working group, earnings, weightings, monetization, cash back mortgages, etc etc etc etc

no takers.. that's cool. maybe it's some kind of working group footprint

Anyone else notice this? I was watching it this morning and it looked like the errant prints were coming from the nyse, kind of like what was happing right after the big selloff day in a lot of stocks. not sure, maybe it's a tradestation issue, but interesting that it preceeded the selloff...

good lesson on human nature. seems like it will have to come pretty damn close before ordinary people find their voice

here's a shot of the actual transition, morning of the 26th

typical post 26th

here's typical pre 2/26

I've been meaning to toss this out there for a few days. What do people think about the change in FNM intraday since 2/26? The intraday chart seems to indicate a pretty dramatic, immediate and strangely compressed increase in short term volatility starting the morning of the 26th before the...

good comments guys i agree eusdaiki. price controls are not the way and free markets distribute resources best. thanks for focusing the question. 'targeting' and central planning in general are a primary enabler of our accelerating debt problem, and it's not so much an imposed target i'd...

why privilege borrowers or lenders, likewise why punish savers or spenders, exaggerating the cycle in the process? is there a good reason not to target zero inflation and zero deflation... stable fair money. most of all inflation seems to be a free gift to spendthrift politicians and their...

what about the reverse etfs. do those involve the sale of actual stock
