The Nation Think the Economy Is Bad? Wait Till the States Cut Back By LOUIS UCHITELLE Published: June 1, 2008 http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/01/weekinreview/01uchitelle.html Struggling as we are with the housing bust, the credit crunch, shrinking consumption, rising unemployment and...

Where was he when ANR was at $15.92 in 2007 (it closed in the upper 80s today). That's only a 360% gain in less than a year.

This is one way. Their are many others, too (like 'faking' inventory reports to show depots, tankers and other storage facilities are empty, when in fact, they're full of oil), which regulators are now only becoming intimately familiar with as large multi-national corporations who depend on...

Linking blackchip's chart for the benefit of noobs about technicals and charts (so they can learn a thing or two): http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=128320

There's a whisper rumor that Taleb has seen your chart and is dubbing it 'H5N1 beak-to-tail' formation.

Does anyone else see it, or am I the only one to see a Bamberger reversal rectal bleeding pattern shaping up, also? Isn't that a sign of buyer exhaustion?

Best chart ever. I think I also saw a reverse Kimchi Snaggletooth forming. Can anyone confirm?

Cross out all of the above on the ballot this November, and write in 'Ron Paul' with a thick, black magic marker. Put an asterisk and add 'Flat Tax,' also. This has been a public service announcement from Patriots United To Reclaim Our Rights.

If commodities go bust, especially oil, agriculturals and industrial metals, it will take an enormous amount of pressure off central banks to raise rates.

Go long solid companies that have been hammered by, rather than benefiting from, high commodity prices. Go long automakers, airlines, steel makers, textile manufacturers, distressed financial companies, the best of breed homebuilders, and solid retailers that have been bloodies into...

Soros is going to drop a bombshell.

RON PAUL '08!!!!!!!! Yeah Baby!!! That's the only hope this sick, infested virus of a cancerous system we call a republic has any chance of healing thyself.

Gartman knows that 95% of commerce that is getting slammed by manipulations of markets from cotton to oil have HAD IT, and are demanding that the regulatory and law enforcement authorities do something about it now, before they go public themselves. I'm talking about companies such as the...

lmao. I didn't realize there was any difference. They're taking splitting semantical hairs to a whole new level. When the 'Great Oil Scam' of 2007 and 2008 breaks, it will go down in the history books. What's the saying? The more participants involved in a scam, the greater the chance...

Oh really? So, FOR EXAMPLE, let's assume that those docking information of oil storage tankers collude, and as a group, falsely report that hundreds (or thousands) of such tankers are empty, when in reality, they are each full of oil. Let's further assume that enough such oil is stored to...

According to the WSJ: *The CFTC’s announcement about its oil investigation suggested a single, broad probe that began in December 2007. But people familiar with its enforcement priorities say the agency is pursuing multiple oil investigations, and that many of them relate to one...

It all goes back to Buffet's comment about CDOs being financial weapons of mass destruction. No one can figure out CDOs and their intricacies - not even the few competent quants. Isn't that what BSC was? A vehicle to disseminate CDOs at the highest price possible to the greatest fools to...
