Yep. They are gonna grant "credits" for FREE to select industries such as coal fired utilities, chemical companies, big oil, auto manufacturers, etc. A group that feels that it isn't gonna get enough "credits" for FREE would be the refiners. "ConocoPhillips, for example, said this week...

The GOP didn't seem to mind when they had a majority in Congress under much of Bush's reign as President. In regards to China, they did nothing. Bush and the GOP Congress never challenged China's manipulation of its currency, its subsidized exports, or their tariffs on imports.

For a nominal monthly fee, you might want to try "The Fly On The Wall" for $25.00 per month. Bloomberg is the best, but it is VERY costly.

You mean that Cesko guy that isn't even a U.S. citizen and who loves to constantly hammer and blast away at how horrible the USA is? Oh yeah. That pathetic Czech. I'm glad we got that squared away.

Bellevue must have an awful lot of proxy IP addresses. :D

Given your logic, the traders in the S&P were responsible for the index cratering 110 points in roughly a week. Good luck with that "conspiracy" theory. :D

Summer time usually argues for lower vols, so I am not so sure that the VIX will have any kind of predictive value right now . . .

A buddy of mine took the other side of the "vulture" trade that occurred when the clearing firm that handled Niederhoffer's S&P options positions came in that one Tuesday morning at the end of October 1997 at the CME and started buying back those naked puts. The Vol was pumped-up to obscene...

Does he generate a lot of web-activity and web "hits" to paint the tape at the end of the month for ET, and a whole host of other websites? http://buzz.omgili.com/DGOVY/jficquette.html?x=0&y=0 It's a "dirty" job, but I guess someone has found a way to profit off it. Just sit around all day...

Your commentary is far too simplistic for the current global industrialized reality. The United States consumes 25% of the daily global supply/production of oil, yet only has 5% of the world's population. As far as the oil markets are concerned, it's difficult to say that they were FAIR...

Whether you believe in Global Warming or not, the fact of the matter is that the United States uses far too much carbon-based energy. We have only 5% of the world's population, and yet we consume 25% of the world's oil at 21 million barrels per day. It doesn't take a rocket-scientist to see...

That is why Bernanke is not yet ready to pull the liquidity "punch-bowl" away . . . Should be interesting to see how "watered-down" this Bill gets.

Too funny! You obviously have a VERY short-term memory. :D The Prescription Drug and Medicare "Improvement" Act of 2003 which was supported by Bush and spearheaded through Congress by House of Representative and big pharma lobbyist Billy Tauzin of Louisiana . . .was voted on at 3AM too . ...

Yep. That's exactly what I was thinking . . . but I wanted to give it another day or two of posting. - - - This guy just can't help himself.

I called into his office a few times in the past year . . . his junior "analysts" and assistants that he surrounds himself are all drinking from the same "Kool-Aid". Just absurd. Not an economic bone in this guys body.

Wow, sorry to hear that. I live in the Bay Area as well. My condolences.

So was McCain the brainiac nerd, or Palin? :D
