    If the Fed cuts by 50pt tomorrow....

    I do this quite often. This is bid up to offset the speculators who are betting on a rate cut. This only happens in an enviorment of rapid rate changes Also , look to see on Monday if there is excess demand for funds. If there is nothing significent it is a great trade. Usually only good...

    A question you'll never hear Charles Gibson ask Obama

    Between NY, IL, CA, Obama will pick up an extra 2 million votes. There is a very good chance he will win the popular vote but lose the election. Do you think there will be riots on the South Side?

    McCain takes credit for banking deregulation

    Who is blaming the problems on deregulation. Only Obama is because he wants to control it under the Goverment. The problem is too much Goverment interference. The Dem have pushed for Freddie/Fannie to open itself to risker loans to help poorer people into houses. Of course, with every good...

    9/11 and Financial Meltdown of '08

    If you want to measure military results by deaths then some of those WW2 battles were major defeats to the US Yemen? Who lives in Yeman? You guys are exhausting to discuss with. When I say no attacks since 9/11 do I need to disclaim every place in the world except the USA. You argue like...

    Longs on Crude Oil Banned!!!!

    The lobby is hired to win votes for their clients. The win votes by giving congressmen money, booze, drugs, hookers, vacations.... Nothing wrong with that. Any salesman is going to give something to make a sale. It is all the fault of the congressman if he makes votes based on his gifts...

    I agree. It took FDR 100 days to handle his banking problems, then 10 years to recover. Bush and his team, in one week has put a structure together to deal with this issue. FDR greatest credit was to restore confidence to the nation, Bush has restored confidence to the markets. Iraq...

    "Market Commentary" Article being passed around trading pits

    No one controlled congress. You need 60 votes to vote on any senate bill. A minority party with at least 41 votes can stop any bill brought to a vote. Are you smarter then 5th grader?

    Senators spooked after the bernanke and paulson speech behind closed doors.

    It's going to make Bush look good. We all may get screwed over the longterm, but for the quick ideas and quick reaction Bush has to get some credit for this.

    JOE BIDEN LACK of CHARITABLE GIVING!

    I support the lobby. It is a pure business. Who you know is worth a lot to ones who need to meet those people. Why does Paris Hilton get 200K to stand in a nightclub for an hour, because people want to meet her. If I am a lobbyist it is my right to do everything I can to get votes for my...

    The Pabst Doctrine

    Bush has been amazing!! To manage an economy with $100 oil, 100 year old finanical firms failing, housing bubble popping sharply. Yet , unemployment is about the same as during the Clinton years. GDP still growing, exports growing, interest rates low, long bonds bid up. No right minded...
