    What did Pelosi say to Piss Off the Repubs?

    News conference going on: now the blame game begins. Amazing that Franks and Pelosi won't address why 95 of "their" people wouldn't vote for this and lay the blame squarely on the "12" members who were bent out of shape by her comments. Unfucking believable! We have children running the gvt.

    What??? Why would he be brought up on charges? What crime did he do concerning his compensation? He didn't steal the money they gave it to him! Some other group were responsible for this morass. This is just a case of excessive executive compensation that Congress is wrangling over and...

The fx division, which is where most I guess felt this, were under this division and thus got very little of our...

    Is there a coup in Venezuela or Bolivia?

    Chavez is just trying to jawbone up the price. It is getting too low for his comfort, and with the recent walkout of the Saudis from the OPEC meeting only underscores the panic some people are feeling and what they would resort to do.

    Ivan's Trade Thread

    You shouldn't. It was directed at me, not you. This is a good thread. I just wish more people would explain WHY they made a trade rather than just throwing up numbers. It would be nice to see things from another set of eyes what prompted a trade and give others a chance to see how it played...

    Looking at what they did with LEH and WM these past few days, me thinks those summer short sale rules will be returning any day now. It may be too late for these 2 but it might prevent others from melting down.
