Excellent point. DeLay, Gramm, and GW Bush. What an amazing way to ruin a great Country. Just a shame.

The problem with the presentation of your argument is that the Enron "disruption" and "gaming" of the power grid in California ONLY occurred in Northern California - - - no where else in the State. You conveniently failed to address this. What's wrong? Would mentioning that rather...

I can't believe that you would even make such a comparison. Minnie Wheat is like a pin-prick of a marketplace. Thin, thin, thin.

Well said. Thank You.

Monopolizing the thread? That's funny! :D Here's a chart go take a look at from my dear friend "Mup" that eludes to the technical analysis that I provided earlier in the thread. Perhaps instead of repeating yourself OVER and OVER, you might wish to try and learn something from the...

Of course, you do realize that portfolio managers were able to borrow money from their brokers and LEVERAGE their mortgage securities to the tune of 33:!, right? You DO understand this, right?

It might also help to have the CFTC shut-down the "Enron-loophole" that Texas senator Phil Gramm put into legislation ( without a committee hearing ) back in December of 2000. Thank you Dubai Mercantile Exchange Thank you Intercontinental Exchange. Thank you Phil and Wendy Gramm. Last...

Yeah, and at this rate I guess he wants the ENTIRE FREAKING AIRLINE INDUSTRY to go belly-up and all commerce as we know it to stop dead in its tracks. Thank you Phil Gramm Thank you Wendy Gramm Thank you George "Dumbya" Bush

And who was head of FERC? FERC's chairman at the time was a Texas Republican appointed by President Bush at the behest of then-Enron Chairman Ken Lay. His name: Pat Wood III And you believe this absurd post from Wikipedia??? Sure you don't want to buy a bridge down in Arizona? :D

If you really believe the text that you copied out of Wikipedia, I've got a bridge in an Arizona desert that I'd love to sell you . . . Do you do any of your own thinking? :D The only explanation given from Wikipedia that has any relevance whatsoever to my question is: "a physcial...

Your point is well taken, but obvious. The point of significance is whether or not the deregulation back in December 2000 by Phil Gramm of the energy markets which allowed for the emergence of "online" exchanges such as EnronOnline, the ICE, and the DME to trade WEST TEXAS INTERMEDIATE crude...

I still have yet to see anyone in this thread attempt to DEFINE the current market ( with respect to the indexes ) using technical analysis, aside from the above poster simply stating that the S&P is in a BEAR market due to it trading below it's 200 day MA. Tell me something, how does this...

Off to watch the NBA Finals. Cheers Pabst! :cool:

This is precisely why 95% of the ET Trading Forum is full of useless threads that revolve around absurd Bull vs Bear debates and people trying to convince each other with fundamental arguments, technical arguments, and more often than not, various interpretations of the latter two concepts that...

Please explain how the forces of "Supply & Demand" entered into the California power market as Enron "gamed" the marketplace . . .

I'll let you in on a little "secret". Try using the 10, 21, and 40 period moving averages . . . Weekly, Daily, and Hourly. You'll be glad you did. :)

Elliott Wave-wise, we are in a "corrective" sequence that will carry the SPX 183 points higher ( or a fibonacci ratio thereof ) from the lows of this week. Ideally, I would have liked to have seen more of a pullback down into the 1365 area, as we could have gone as low as 1339 to provide for...

One man in Congress. REPUBLICAN Senator from Texas, Phil Gramm, whose wife Wendy was the former CFTC chairwoman. In fact, she was appointed by Enron to their BoD just 5 weeks after she resigned from the CFTC. "In December 2000, Phil Gramm helped muscle a bill through Congress without a...
