Looks like they were barking around about 10 days ago about how they'd hacked all this gov't stuff. I don't see any info as a result of these "acquisitions". I suspect the men in dark suits have arrived at their homes.

What's all this then?

Looks like there was selling volume but nothing to hold up the futures and it just went through the floor for a few seconds. I'm not sure the Fed holds this up (they will certainly try), but the threat of a deal should keep the wheels from coming off the market. The real problem could be...

S&P March printed below 1400. I haven't looked at the T&S, but it was waaaay down for a few seconds.

Maybe not. Plenty of big banks were forced to pick up C, D and E paper (assuming the borrowers skin color was correct) starting in about 2002 when the gov't decided that not enough minorities had mortgages. Because of Basel III and some of the Dodd Frank regs, many lenders are scared to go...

It's effectively extra buying power added to your account.

In many areas, you will have a whole different crop of teachers...and for the better. If they are carrying guns, many of the far left Prius drivers won't even take the job. They will go to work for Starbucks, which doesn't allow firearms inside and will likely be the victim of an armed robbery...

I have perhaps a noob question. In the CBOE docs, there is some text that seems to explain that any "disruptive event" (defined in the text but essentially a flash crash or perhaps trading curbs depending on how you read it) will be excluded from the final calculation. Is this of any...

Yes...what bjw said. And one other thing...the left lane is for passing only, not driving 20mph below the speed limit with your turn signal on the entire time.

Semi atomic rifles? I need to get a few of those before they ban them.

This is so racist. Why can't a middle eastern guy celebrate his kid's birthday in the traditional manner without a visit from the police?

I have an idea. We should make it illegal to kill someone. If only we had that law in place, none of these shootings would have happened.

Nothing will happen. It's just pandering to the base. It's like telling your kid that she might get that unicorn next year if she's good.

You hilarious.

Very good points indeed. That's what is so fascinating about the liberal arguments on so many fronts. It makes you wonder if they are really that intent on hurting the constituencies that are always claiming to protect. Making "gun free zones" is actually detrimental because it gathers...

Fascinating. I never heard of this. Thanks for the post.

I blame all of us...collectively. We have allowed it to happen. When I was growing up in the 70's/80's and we had eight football teams, the top team got a big trophy and the second place team got a little trophy or a certificate. You know everyone else got? We got to go to the ceremony and...

So they phoned people and asked them to define themselves using these terms. I've seen interviews where reporters stood on downtown city streets for hours at a time and found that between 25 and 45% of people stopped - could not find Texas on a map of the US. I'd be willing to bet that more...

That's already the law. The problem is with the media calling basic semi auto rifles "assault weapons" simply by looking at the stock. True assault weapons require a class III license and plenty of registering and checkouts.
