Sounds like he's not giving much credence to a realized agreement and is going to forge ahead with cap n' trade. One thing that stuck out - was he saying that the US would commit 100B/yr by 2020 or that the fund would be 100B/yr by 2020?

With Mirus* or any of the other firms that offer low intraday margins, those margins are in effect from the overnight open until the daily roll-over, which is usually sometime between 4:30 EST and 6pm (not sure exact times as I have never held positions into the close). If you hold positions...

Then go the CBSX firm route. Takes about 2 weeks to process the U4. Do it now and you should be ready to go after the New Year.

Then stop bitching and go to another firm. There are plenty of them.

For less than 25k, you got Echo only 10k (need a series 7), assortment of Assent firms (also need a 7 - you can get a listing of offices from their website) and the CBSX registered firms (no 7 but you have to submit a U4 and stand up to its scrutiny) 2 reputable firms are JC and Avatar, amongst...

Clinton hints about "alternative sources of financing: http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSGEE5BB07F20091217

Yes. When has Obama ever come out in support of this tax? Other than DeFazio saying so?

That was yesterday. Today, something different. I can understand now what drives a person to develop manic depression.

Good line from the Merkel article: "Consequently, implementing a new financial market tax in Germany would be unlikely during the current four-year parliamentary period."

Just came across the wire: Clinton: US ready to join $100B climate aid fund (AP) – 28 minutes ago COPENHAGEN — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has announced that the United States is prepared to join other rich countries in raising $100 billion in yearly climate financing...

Anyone catch Bogle this morning on CNBC slamming the speculators? He's becoming DeFazio's head cheerleader against our group.

He's going over there to state his case because he knows he no longer has an audience for his views here in this country with Geitner emphatically against this of late. If anything, reeks a little of desperation on his part.

+1. Republicans are still trying to buy a clue as to why they can't succeed in this environment. The best that the Right can hope for is a return to detante in 2010 and more so in 2012. If there is a messiah out there somewhere, he/she hasn't shown themselves yet.

the series 7 is not that hard a test.

CNBC alert: Robert Weissman (Public Citizen) on CNBC now commenting on "fat cat bankers". Let's see if he brings up transaction tax talk. Also, news article from farmer heartland about the tax. Comments needed. (apologies if already posted)...

We just had that, and look at the shape we are in now. We don't need dumb as a rock nor do we need too smart for our own good. We need someone who is smart enough to know that he doesn't know everything and but smart enough to seek out those who could present the analysis w/o an agenda.

A day after Obama publicly bashes "fat cat bankers" on tv, he calls a meeting with the heads of the largest banks and summons them to Washington to chastise them privately. And Blankfein, Mack and Parsons tell the WH to F.off, as they don't show up under the excuse that weather problems...

Eh! It could have been worse.
