Two questions: Do you think that the FED would be taking such action if the banking system was functioning appropriately and there wasn't any other risk out there to the Economy besides a little "bad" collateral on the books? When was the last time that the FED opened up the discount window...

Agreed 100% I sent a private message to Baron last week regarding this same topic and how there doesn't seem to be ANY concern whatsoever about the quality of content in the Trading Forum and never got a reply back. I am beginning to believe that some of these posters simply make absurd...

Bernanke is trying to avoid a short-term stock market correction??? Are you serious? You obviously have no clue what is going on within the commercial banking system ( the magnitude of deflation and de-leveraging), let alone how that effects the Economy. For the "pin-heads" on ET that...

"Portfolio Insurance" was called dynamic -hedging and it was created by the academics at Leland, OBrien, and Rubenstein. I seem to recall that Kidder Peabody was used as an "agent" to execute such a hedge. In theory ( on a blackboard ), it worked. And at the time, about $70 Billion in...

For you, its all about the stock market. What about the Economy?

You mean the FED isn't trying to keep the Economy from heading into a DEFLATIONARY collapse due to a lack of credit creation? :confused:

Treasuries are SAFE. But you obviously asked the wrong question because you then "dismiss" the SAFETY of such financial instruments saying that they do not return great enough yield. In times like these, SAFETY costs yield. Nothing surprising at all about that.

Please tell me what your experience is in the financial markets ( and for how long ) in order to give some credibility to your claims above that Bernanke has "a lot of learning to do". Given the tremendous magnitude of the DEFLATIONARY pressure hitting the commercial banking system in our...

You need to understand how much money is involved in the managed futures business. It's something like $185 Billion ( as of data from Q3 of last year ). Try tossing part of that amount around when everyone is heading for the same exit.

Agreed. There seems to be a ton of these morons running around on ET these days.... and for some strange reason the owner of ET doesn't seem to have a problem with it. Hmmmm.... Trying to keep "web-activity" up in order to market that data to potential advertisers?

1299.24 is the 50% retracement of the move up from 1256.98 to 1341.51

If you have any REAL world idea as to how illiquid and "thin" some of these commodity markets are . . . coupled with the fact that the total amount of money involved in the "managed" futures business is now north of $185 BILLION, you might actually get a clue as to how these markets have the...

Your last sentence says it all . . . And given what Bernanke and Paulson have been engineering lately, I wouldn't put it past them to JAM the dollar right back up in everyone's face via some sort of intervention because they KNOW that the market is extremely short the dollar, ala Rubin in 1985...

You have got to be one of the more ignorant posters on here.

You and your "imaginary" friend Aaron Copland need to stop playing on the Internet when your Mommy goes off to work. Either that, or you should ask your Sugar "Daddy" Baron for a raise.

Really now? Please feel free to "enlighten" me because I will enjoy making a fool out of you with your explanation of what you believe "actually" happened . . . In the meantime, here is the guy ( Mike Goodwin ) that was the #2 equity derivative trader at Deutsche Bank that took the "other...

Is this why you held your DXD for a piddly 1% gain earlier today? http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showt...6&pagenumber=10 :D

You are a freaking LIAR. You talk "tough" but you have ZERO balls. You said that the Dow was heading down to 11,500 but sold out the DXD for a piddly 1% gain. It says so right here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=121743&perpage=6&pagenumber=10 You post over...

Tell me, how are you able to trade when you have been posting 40 times per day on ET? Does Baron pay you by the post? Is that how you make your money? You don't TRADE, you just post on ET and Baron pays you for it? Just curious.
