Gov't moves to limit speculative commodity trades

Quote from ChkitOut:

Wrong, its already been proven the more speculators in a market the less volatility in prices. Fact.

So dumb.

That's probably assuming each speculator has similar buying power. Wall Street firms are not normal speculators. They're few in number and have gigantic buying power. The actions of these few can cause a large volatility in prices.

I agree. It is misguided
 
Quote from Specterx:

Too funny. Ben Bernanke says "we're gonna gun asset prices!" and floods the system with unlimited quantities of magic money. When asset prices do indeed go up, the government starts whining about "speculators."

I can only imagine what'll happen if things tank again. Public summary executions of short-sellers?

exactly.

the problem is that banana ben is printing like mad. if the fed were on sustainable, healthy economic policies, this wouldn't be such a problem.

The US is moving from Freedom to Fascism at warp speed.

<i>[Fascism is] a genuinely revolutionary, trans-class form of anti-liberal, and in the last analysis, anti-conservative nationalism. As such it is an ideology deeply bound up with modernization and modernity, one which has assumed a considerable variety of external forms to adapt itself to the particular historical and national context in which it appears, and has drawn a wide range of cultural and intellectual currents, both left and right, anti-modern and pro-modern, to articulate itself as a body of ideas, slogans, and doctrine. In the inter-war period it manifested itself primarily in the form of an elite-led "armed party" which attempted, mostly unsuccessfully, to generate a populist mass movement through a liturgical style of politics and a programme of radical policies which promised to overcome a threat posed by international socialism, to end the degeneration affecting the nation under liberalism, and to bring about a radical renewal of its social, political and cultural life as part of what was widely imagined to be the new era being inaugurated in Western civilization. The core mobilizing myth of fascism which conditions its ideology, propaganda, style of politics and actions is the vision of the nation's imminent rebirth from decadence.</i>
