I guess no one in a position to calm financial markets knows what to do. Although he was anchorman of a financial show, does anyone remember Louis Rukeyser after the 9/11 attacks? What class and composure he had, and he wasn't even in an official position of responsibility. He reminded people...

A priest and a rabbi are walking down the street together, and they both want a drink, but they have no money on them. The priest says, "I've got an idea how to get us some free drinks." He walks in alone and the rabbi stands at the door and watches. The priest orders a drink, drinks it, and...

He's afraid the GOP, and McCain, will be blamed in November, if gas prices stay high or go higher.

'Gas prices.' If gas prices don't come down (meaning crude oil), McCain will lose an important part of his constituency. They may not come out for Obama, but they will choose to sit this one out. And that will destroy McCain. Watch Bush, GOP senators, and anyone with a vested...

I'm taking a gigantic black magic marker, and writing Ron Paul on my ballot. I know it won't count, but it will satisfy me nonetheless. Having said that, the equity markets did better under Clinton than most Republicans, and historical studies show that, in fact, most Democratic Presidents...

Anyone who makes a joke about suicide in a real life thread such as this one needs to seriously seek help. G_d forbid you or someone you care about befalls a similar fate, and if someone you love has, I'm sorry you're as jaded and cynical about life as you pretend to be.

This is actually probably true, and the reason why GS met and beat earnings. They are now going to have regulatory scrutiny like they've not experienced before if inflation keeps roaring, essential commodities don't break, and Bernanke remains in this unenviable position of not being able to...

Wow. Just wow.

I feel sorry for and loathe Bernanke at the same time. Is that possible?

Just remember that money is just money guys, and that nothing can't be recovered from if you stay strong. nyx, he'll be there still. I believe that, at least. Congratulations on getting married, too.

Mr. Market loves to teach painful lessons. He especially loves to halve momo stocks during bear market capitulation selling. Werd!!!

If you think paper fiat is of questionable value in this new era of high (but admittedly mixed) inflation, bank loan portfolios are good for wiping one's ass with. They tried to contain the mortgage backed security contagion, failed miserably, it has now infected other assets, and the central...

I could post some things that I've heard over the course of the last two weeks that would make some peoples' heads spin. It's not that I'm a VIP or BSD. But I know some people who are, and are dependent on banks for financing right now, and the guys that are working for the banks are scared...

Very sorry to hear that, ny.

Okay, I'm a noob on ags. Someone give me a reason why corn-dependant entities such as ADM, Pacific Ethanol and many, many beef, chicken and even fertilizer companies won't take it on the chin since the flooding in Iowa and the heavy rains in the midwest, as these events have impaired planting...

It didn't delete a single one of mine, and I have a ton. Why'd you delete the new toolbar?
