    Way to stop housing speculation. My idea for Obama.

    Why not start a House Exchange Commission and enforce the same Margin requirements on home speculators. Not on the primary residence, only on extra homes purchased. ie. You have to put down initial 50% down to buy a speculative flip home. Regulation H, when a trader buys a speculative...

    What caused inflation in the 70s?

    Vietnam. We got into that quagmire that pretty much was the straw that broke the camels back which caused countries to lose confidence in the dollar and start asking for redemptions at 35 dollars an ounce of gold so they can then arb it on the open market and profit risk free. Nixon had to...

    Short term correction to arrive.

    S&P should test the 995-1025 range again in the next few weeks. Liquidity fears and its fish or cut bait time. It is going to take real economic recover and growth for 2010 or the bottom will fall again.

    China Sticks Goldman with the Bill!

    I guess if China sells naked calls and on expiration its ITM, they can also refuse to deliver securities as well. But they keep the premium :)

    Short options at expiration?

    You should not count on getting educated by asking a bunch of anonymous folk on the internet for educational advice. You might get interesting ideas or strategies on the forums but without a good educational foundation it would be a waste of effort. The best thing to do is invest some money...

    I thought bush fixed all this.

    Obama sat on his ass for a whole year. But I thought Bush fixed all this intra-agency BS and tuned our intelligence/counter terrorism capabilities to a fine tooth comb so that another 9/11 wont slip through. It seems nothing has been fixed...

    The case against college.

    Americans just can't add.

    A few tidbits from this article. Man we are in deep shit :) But it's impossible to ignore the fact that individual consumers made a lot of really bad choices in the past decade. They bought homes with $2,000 mortgages when they only earned $3,000 a month. They borrowed money at 30 percent...

    Good news, house prices flattening. Good for America. Bad for Bankers.

    There is no falling knife. Joe the Plumber who had 10 dollars left after bills and engorged mortgage bill now having 2300 bucks a month after walking a way is a net gain for Joe the plumber. And a net gain for America.

    Good news, house prices flattening. Good for America. Bad for Bankers.

    This is good news, it would be better if house prices drop to levels 10-15 years ago. The next shoe that needs to drop is the excessive overinflated college prices. Remember the less money tied up in the big money sponge called a house, the more money circulating in the economy instead of...
