Bunning should have added how he thought he woke up in the Soviet Union in 1979 (Chrysler bailout) and 1989 (RTC S&L bailout) and how he was completely wrong then.

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aysiTxYLPsAQ&refer=home Sept. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. said it will announce third-quarter results and ``key strategic initiatives'' tomorrow, after the stock fell a record 45 percent in New York trading today...

If it was so easy, then we should observe the highest GDP per capita in nations with the highest amount of trade restrictions. Empirically, the opposite is true.

Morals don't pay the bills, do they? One day you will learn that whining and pointing fingers does not make any difference to your financial bottom line. Taking action does.

That's right, and my spelling is better than yours.

Instead of studying goverment intraventions you should try English grammar and spelling first.

Here's the bankrate.com mortgage rate from Bloomberg http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=ILM3NAVG%3AIND

I think that was exactly the point Daal was trying to make. There is likely a unfavorable risk/reward ratio betting on a collapse of the British economy from here. The OP made it sound like it was risk free money.

The regional bank holders ETF (RKH) broke out of a 2 month range on huge volume yesterday. It is now up 46% since the July lows. This is what (intermediate term) bottoms look like. I've got a couple of short regional banks and most of them are deep in the red. The only bright spot (for me) is...

Shocker! Didn't all the US bears tell us the grass is greener on the other side?

That's why you would have sever all ties in the US, i.e. pull your kids out of their US school, sell your house, cancel all insurances, healthcare and other contracts, cancel your US bank account(s) etc. etc. Just because it's a PITA doesn't mean it's impossible.

Talk about hindsight bias. Who says September will play out like August?

Not if you give up your passport and sever all ties with the US. http://travel.state.gov/law/citizenship/citizenship_776.html

Excuse me, but as far as I can recall you were the retard posting his 100 lot ES papertrading account claiming it was real money?

Free trade is good. Adapt or die. Trying to shield the US from global trade would only result in delaying the inevitable. This has been discussed ad nauseam here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=135031

An interesting sidenote is the fact that Bear Stearns survived the Great Depression of the 1930s only to blow up in 2008. Ironic.

No, you crybaby. If I don't like something then I take action. You chime in with other whiners and do nothing. If you think the US is going to be bankrupted, then buy gold, short the USD and just move & STFU. Instead, you keep whining how your country is going down the drain and your...

Since when is WHINING & CRYING a sign of having balls? IMO it is a sign of weakness, nothing else. Only losers refuse to control their own destiny as they expect the government to take care of their future. If you clowns are so 100% sure the USA is going down the drain and your children are...

Why can't you control your own destiny? Last time I looked the US still allows its citizens to emigrate and move all their assets to another country. It's not the Soviet Union just yet, is it?
