Exactly, trading is very capital intensive for a bank and high risk, they probably don't want that right now. And who knows if their strategies only worked in low volatility times? This might even be a good sign. edit: Here is the link to the story...

They're not, but they keep making them.

What do you know, he gambled it all away.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVB-SSkkLnY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfvIstgOugc

Education shouldn't be strictly for profit, or else you wouldn't have any upward mobility. Permanent poverty and permanent rich people. My friend told me that the secret weapon of the nobles hundred of years ago wasn't their money, but their education. The poor were illiterate. And the...

This is pure theft, or maybe a more efficient way of getting that money through to system to be spent ? :p

Thanks for the header there Trader. Fuck China and their stupid politics, rhetorics and PR campaigns. This is what you get when someone thinks they have a bit of power, it gets to their head. As for climate protection, I don't really believe either the US or China will take any lead here, it...

Can it work? With guaranteed deposits what use does the Fed actually provide. It was supposed to be a lender of last resort but it doesn't look like it did much to this credit crunch. And the interest rate should be determined by the market. The problem as always though, is greedy CEOs who...

They should guarantee everything, have all the risk wizards work for the government. Hopefully it makes a difference, and then it's back to the market to price risk.

He's not that stupid, I remember seeing a video of him on his channel where he talked at length about the OTHER carry trade, the one in Iceland. He was the only one in the financial press who even knew Iceland existed. Forget his gold standard, but he is great to hear because he is ahead of the...

Something I don't understand gnome, the smart money had been buying up bonds for years to shield themselves against a 2 month crisis? Are you implying this will get much worse?

Recapitalizing banks does not "address the systemic problems". All I see is an IMF hoping for a global recession so they can make shady loans.

Just focus on your edge than bullshit like testosterone and libido. But there will be swings in emotions.

Stay with it stoned, we can't lose your voice around here.

I'm sure Shattenfreude is the word that comes to mind when these CEOs who created the bubbles are walking out with millions. Do you have data that the common man is putting their money in treasuries? That deposits are falling at a rapid pace?

Ok, so first you say that we have a green bubble and second you say we are near the bottom, what exactly do you base your reasoning on? RIMM was a bubble and it popped, were you there in 2004 saying there would be a PDA bubble? Probably not. Buffet invests long term. Yes, there could be a...

What a shitty video ddog, republican propaganda. I also think most people in this forum know way better what caused the crisis than the BS peddled in that video.

Buffet is being very active. The old man is still very passionate about investing and his activity should tell us how the world is changing.

There is competition on dark pools just like on exchanges. So for example if one firm smells another is unloading a stock through dark pools, they might lower their bids. I don't know how they work, are the market makers on the real exchanges always adjusting their bid asks depending on dark...

You could say Greenspan was the one who pulled the trigger, what's the point?

talk to a lawyer.
