Often times, feeling bad about yourself and your situation is what spawns the solution to the problem. I would submit that our government's attmept to keep us from feeling bad about mindless speculation is what put us in this horrible position. …

Snig, I've read some idiotic dreck in my lifetime, but that makes the top 10. What you are advocating is that someone needs to keep drinking in order to avoid a hangover. Bailouts ARE the problem. Prescribing more will only make the eventu…

Given the wide range of pain in this little mess we have... Just how, exactly, does the taxpayer bail out the taxpayer? Something tells me this might end up where Joe Six Pack and Spencer White Wine Spritzer pony-up the money to make the big N…

There is no free lunch in lending. Lending is pretty simple. You borrow money from a big bank and lend it to J6P at a higher rate. It's a carry-trade of sorts. Anything that makes it cheaper, is just shuffling the deck. No closing costs? …

That "rate cut" talk is trash. I'd like to see a cut in this environment: JPY getting uppity. Economic expansion at 4% (even though it's total BS) Low unemployment (again, BS number) Inflation above target (actually, it's WAY above target) 5…

BSC puts have been the gift that keeps on giving. They have been my ATM for the past 3 months. They may bounce here and there, but if you are disciplined enough (and I'm not saying that I am), they should be a reliable source of fast money.

It really blows. There is absolutely no improvement in any of the features. Unfortunately, it's a monopoly out here.

Dan, You should check out the following stock tickers. FXY FXF FXC FXS FXE FXB These are essentially mutual funds that are nothing more than unleveraged currency plays. I've got a bunch of FXY and FXF (Yen and Swiss Francs) Hope …

Eleua: Ardell, your house is on fire. Ardell: I don't give a rat's ass about the fireplace. Look at my granite countertops. E: Your house is on fire. That trumps granite countertops. A: I worked for the Fire District for 20 years. Th…

Go to CBOE.com and type in the stock ticker you want. If you type in INTC and request the full list, you will get a long list of puts and calls with the current (20 min delayed) premium for the various strikes. If you go to yahoo finance and g…

Perfectfire, Almost all brokers require that you read up on how options work. Keep in mind that you can lose money faster than you could possibly imagine when trading options. Try losing 65% of your position in one week. Perhaps $70K in a mo…

Would put contracts with the $20 strike suffice?

Sniglet, I agree with your entire post. China is not the great economic, political, and military threat that everyone thinks it is. The US is not the basket-case the American Left dreams of. Keep in mind that I'm the one predicting "20 cents…

Well... Economic instability can lead to political instability, which is the whole reason you don't go blowing bubbles in the first place. Right now, we have Godwin's law (which is pretty funny - and true). Soon, after this bubble hits the …

The US has plenty of industrial capacity, especially weaponry. We do lack consumer driven production, but not heavy industry. We don't "fritter" away our resources. We would be able to divert steel, oil, rubber, etc. away from competitors and t…

Our exhausted military is not superior to China's and Russia's and England's and France's and Germany's and India's and Pakistan's and Canada's and Mexico's and Spain's and Ukrain's and Viet Nam's and Australia's and ... When it comes to nava…

SunTzu, You are confusing warfighting with peacekeeping. They are two different animals. How will China keep its ports open and supply lines intact against the US Navy? They don't have much in terms of nukes. Their ICBMs are liquid fueled…

What happens when the country with the most powerful military in the world wants those resources?

RCC, They ARE getting paid, and they are buying MBS' with it. This is 'vendor financing' on a national scale. Eventually, we actually own them. If I go to Home Depot, open up a HD credit card, and subsequently run up a whopper of a charge, H…

I doubt it. Let's localize this. If your job is to be a high-end wedding photographer, and all the high-end weddings disappear down a black hole, is this a big deal to you? If you live close to a retirement community, and your job is servic…

I'm still working on it. Canuck Bucks looks good for the short term, and then I'll start looking at others. Right now, the fecal hurricane will not spare very many. Canada isn't the answer, just it's not the problem at the moment. I'm not ha…

Very temporary. I'm using this opportunity to get my parents out of their investments and my savings out of the US Peso.

Wonder what the FED will do tomorrow? You need to ask? PRINT!!!!! It's the only card they have left to play, and it only works so long. GS has a fund in trouble. BSC is a wreck. CFC might get it's warehouse lines pulled and have to l…

The futures are up 88 points for the dow right now. Why not? BOJ just injected 600,000,000 yen.

in the mean time, down with the white elite mofos! Was that necessary?

The banks are supposed to lend money to each other at the funds rate, which is now 5.25%. If a bank can't get money that it needs to stay liquid from another bank, the FED will issue a 'repo,' which is an overnight loan. The bank gives up collater…

The markets have tanked pretty hard on 4 repos in 2 days. Today was only kinda bad because the FED dropped 3 liquidity bombs on the market today. Normally, that should have had us up over 600 points. So, picture if you will... The FED drops …

The FED futures don't run the FED. This thing will be over before the FED meets in October. Cutting rates in the next few weeks will only serve to panic the markets, causing them to crater. The FED is trapped. They know it. I know it. The …

What scares the crap out of people is the possiblity of my "20 cents by 2010" prediction is actually going to come true. Big E is always right.
