Another ET market timing success story.

Leon Pannetta just came out and said that: 1. None of the Bin Laden raiders were killed. 2. The fatalities accounted to 10 % of Seal Team Six troop strength.

That is Bullshit and you know it. The cities are very 'selective' about what they report - here in Chicago, for example, there is considerable data scrubbing and filtering that goes on.

Guys, Boehner put 'tax revenue realignment' on the table for Obama - and the President shot it down. In the final analysis, Obama fucked up not taking the first deal offered up by Boehner.

If you really think about it, a guy who grew up overweight and got hazed about it all through his life is probably going to be one of the most socially tolerant and non-judgemental folks you would meet. He would draw many independent votes, and he would be able to muffle the right-wing bible...

Well, bleeding hearts aside, and liberal pablum aside, you will not be able to get the white President of the ACLU, or the white chair of the Progressive Caucus, to walk through a black neighborhood all by him or herself. My father has been robbed three times in ten years, there have been...

Well, the point is, if you are a retail spec account you are not going to get delivered. If the FCM waits until first notice day to unilaterally offset your position without your consent or approval the fees are substantial. And perfectly legal.

As a Yank that started trading European Sovereign Debt in 1997, from my perspective never use the term 'transparent' and 'credible' in the same sentence with 'European fixed income'. Just me, but I feel very strong about it - the crap that I saw European Bank Desks pull just floored me.

Martin's correct - official pretenses aside, the ECB leaks everything by design. Been that way from day one with them.

Yep. This entire tax rate canard is nonsense - what really matters are the deductions you can find or the loopholes that very expensive lawyers and CPAs can find. Even in the late 50's when the top marginal rate was like 90 % of course absolutely no-one paid even half that after their money...

Neither is raising taxes without cutting entitlement spending by a ratio of at least 1:4. And if Obama truly wanted to do that, he would have taken Boehner's first offer - which had 'revenue enhancements' in it.

Unless you have pledged credible 'bonafides' with your clearing firm ( that is, legitimate commercial grade infrastructure and capitalization to take or make delivery ), your FCM will offset your position unilaterally into first notice day. When you pledge 'bonafides', you are essentially...

If David Axelrod's little gem from Sunday morning is any precursor, if it weren't for the Tea Party everything would be just peachy. It is all Bush's fault, and it is the Tea Party who is responsible for the S&P downgrade. If we just raised taxes, it would completely offset projected...

No, the OP has it bassackwards. The US bond market signaled this starting the first week in May of 2011. The bond markets have always been much smarter than the stock markets. Seriously.

I don't recall you being a client - I recall you being a constant detractor who decries technical analysis and insists that futures spreads are only properly traded using a 'fundamental' approach.

A spectacularly naive and wrong conclusion - Obama reaffirmed his involvement for a very specific reason; namely, the US needs a collection area to attract militant terrorists.

Bullshit on you. Literally. Organic foods are incredibly dangerous to eat. It is a food safety issue.

Well, we can all make that superficial claim living in these United States. Are you white, and have you ever gotten your ass beat up for being white ?

Prisons are the best investment for my considerable tax dollars.

Spoken like someone who never crossed - much less lived on, the other side of the tracks.
