Dumbest post of the week. Maybe month. :p

Ed, I'm not sure if you are able to comprehend what I posted previously because you continue to try and "link" two entirely separate entities . . . 1.) Goldman's research. 2.) Electronic automated execution software programs which EVERYONE (not just Goldman) has on the Street. They are...

Must have gotten pretty close to June of 2003, which holds the record at 10.2" of rain. http://scienceview.berkeley.edu/view/ Gorgeous weather here in the San Francisco Bay Area!!! :D

Excellent analogy and post. :)

Pabst, I agree. I was simply answering SPECIFICALLY to a previous posts ("jems") wanting to know what I meant by the TAX BASE being pretty narrow in the State of California. I also elaborated on what makes the tax revenue structure so volatile. I think much of that went over the "heads" of...

Where have you been? The OIH only has 18 companies in it and is very easy to trade because it is incredibly liquid. RIG makes up 17% and SLB makes up nearly 12% of the index, as does DO at almost 9%. So in effect, 36% of the index is weighted towards 3 stocks. It trades with a very high...

Woooooaa Nellie! Some of you guys are getting a bit ahead of yourselves . . . First, it has to get through the House. I believe the article that you cited above said that there are 250 co-sponsors, including 78 Democrats, but needs to be "promoted" by the Democratic majority leadership in...

But they might not be all that liquid. (Isn't BofA's redemption deadline tomorrow?) If you can't cash them in, then I think you might have to wait till October.

Why would you find such an article so informative? It simply states the OBVIOUS that there is far too great of a supply of apartment units out there, just as there are far too many auto dealers out there. Shocker.

Believe it or not, California is ranked 10th in the nation when it comes to overall tax burden. And by the way, in the United State of America . . . renters do NOT PAY property taxes. Duh.

Cost estimates for education and adult incarceration of illegal aliens back in fiscal 1994 came to $2.35 Billion. Current numbers put the educational cost at $3.2 billion, alone - - - not counting several more billion from the American born siblings of these illegal aliens. I believe that...

I never said that I advocated raising taxes. My point goes to the NARROWNESS of the TAX BASE and why that puts California under a lot of fiscal stress during economic contractions. California is ranked #10 in the nation in its state and local tax burden, and also #10 nationally when you take...

More cut and paste. :(

Ed, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank, and others have been using very robust electronic trading platforms and trading algorithms to execute baskets of stocks via program trading for their own accounts (usually via stock-index arbitrage) and for the accounts of their clients when a...

:confused:

A very rare disconnect from Crude. However, the OIH has been roaring today on the massive decline in the Dollar.

Given your "conspiracy" theories I bet it's pretty hard for you to be able to pull the "trigger". And you say that you "compete" with Goldman Sachs? Now that's FUNNY! :D Oh, and please feel free to show us a reference indicating Goldman's holdings of BTU . . .

Still waiting to see the screen-shot of your trading blotter. Oh, I forgot. You have nothing to do with the financial markets. You spend all of your day posting in the "Politics & Religion" forum of Elitetrader.com :D Tell me, does "prop-posting" pay well for a college kid out of...

I don't believe that I have read anywhere that confirms the OP's claim that the Federal Government is disbursing cash to the elderly, disabled, and blind residents of California. From what I have read, there are total IOU payments in July of $3.35 Bilion, with the majority going to the...

Gee, I wonder if the national average of real estate prices is considerably LOWER than what real estate costs in California . . . Think that might have something to do with why owner occupied housing property taxes as a percentage of homeowner income is higher in California as opposed to the...
