Very good chance a correction starts today. Would not surprise me to see mkt down big today into Monday. SPX 1180. If 1180 fails a test of 1150. But the real selloff should occur in July.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 04:57 PM) You mean like enforcing the laws we have now and not creating to big to fail banks? Why do we need more laws if we aren't going to enforce the ones we do have? Its a complete diversion, and people are buying this crap hook, line, and sinker. Kind of like the short sale rule that was not enforced.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 02:43 PM) *breaks back into Buster* No, the great majority in fact are not. There are very few bank holding companies, and very many brokerages of various types. *leaves* But the two biggest are, and I believe that is what Balta is referring to: MS and GS. They should have lost that ability when they apid back their money.

Mine your own f***ing business comes to mind here. Hope this piece of s*** is proud of his/herself. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12...l#ixzz0kzTqEPqP

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 09:21 PM) Reduced taxes does not equal larger deficits by itself. Why is that such a hard concept for people to understand? Keynsian economics is working swellingly, right? MORE STIMULUS! ! MORE STIMULUS!!! MORE STIMULUS!!!!!

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 04:01 PM) is teabagging an accepted term now? Real mature isn't it? Just like the NJ Teachers joking about Christie's death.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 2, 2010 -> 07:54 AM) Whoever changed the topic caption to the "affordable care act" shows how much they don't know about what just went down. I'll clue you in, from the inside. Prices aren't going down. But the deficit will. They said so..

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Apr 2, 2010 -> 08:32 AM) 160K jobs added this month. Most in three years. Less than the Street expected, but fewer census jobs added than expected as well. Underemployed= 20.3%

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 28, 2010 -> 04:28 PM) Hey kap what does any of that have to do with the "shoe on the other foot" you were talking about? Were there some Republican Congressional members that were legitimately targeted? QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 28, 2010 -> 06:07 PM) Except I don't remember leftists throwing bricks through GOP windows or cutting their gaslines. Does this qualify?: http://tpmlivewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/2...eric-cantor.php How about this: http://www2.dailyprogress.com/cdp/news/loc...quarters/54116/

http://tpmlivewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/2...eric-cantor.php MSM will be all over it tonight, make sure you tune in.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 28, 2010 -> 12:28 PM) That's an email that went out this morning to the RNC's donors. The RNC is raising money for Sean Hannity. That is all. How so? By raising money for children of wounded and killed vets to go to college? Yeah, f*** Hannity, doesn't he know the gov't is the only one that can do s*** like this.

So this week corporations started restating earnings estimates based on the new healthcare bill enacted. And now the rat Waxman is doing what he does best, holding a hearing to grandstand and try to make these ceo's look like the bad guys. This isn't how they thought it would play out. Reform was supposed to lower costs. LMAO!!! So far I believe we are close to 1.5 billion dollars and counting. Who would have thought, companies are not going to eat these costs, Medicare recipients will.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 25, 2010 -> 11:40 AM) You'll note that all this author says is that the bond rates offered by the private company are "lower". The author does not take into account the actual number or take the time to put into it a historic reference point...considering how close we are to historic lows, for example, would be an appropriate touch, but it would undermine the entire argument. We all better hope that the 30 yr yield does not break through 4.80% area. If it does it will be a pretty straight shot up to 7%, putting more pressure on our debt. And the stock market.

QUOTE (LZPride08 @ Mar 25, 2010 -> 09:50 AM) I didn't see the story you just brought up, I did see boehner talk about it though and denounce and condemn the violence though, but at the same time no one's going to blame tea baggers because there hasn't been any evidence to prove that it was a tea bagger.. For all we know it could be a far left advocate who thought this bill didn't go far enough since they don't have a single payer system.. or even just a random guy who saw an opportunity to vandalize property You are f***ing crazy... Blasphemy...It was a right-wing bible thumping gun loving mother f***er...

QUOTE (Tex @ Mar 24, 2010 -> 12:49 PM) There should be limits. I would think an operation would be one. And I wonder who paid for the abortion? King county taxpayers baby.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 24, 2010 -> 12:23 PM) The mom signed a consent form for medical care. Unreal.

http://www.komonews.com/news/local/88971742.html Wow.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Mar 23, 2010 -> 07:11 PM) Mine doesn't either - that kinda sucks, I really wish it did Yeah then we could start paying more for a service that has actually decreased in price since it came to the market. Free markets do not work though.

QUOTE (Tex @ Mar 23, 2010 -> 04:05 PM) ACORN's funding came from more than the government. They lost out all around. They will return under a new name with the same agenda.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Mar 23, 2010 -> 01:50 PM) Just give me some examples of illegal activities. QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 23, 2010 -> 01:51 PM) I guess I need convictions and illegal activities to show that an organization was illegal. The most illegal thing was the homeless people taking a check and not doing their jobs. No, mickey mouse was in fact, not voting. So all these "ACORN WAS DELIVERING THE ELECTION FOR OBAMA" was not based in any sort of fact. They are just a target in the same way the census is, the more minority voters that are whipped together to vote, the more democratic votes there tends to be. QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Mar 23, 2010 -> 01:52 PM) Your "I'm smarter than everyone else" attitude is getting a little tired. IIRC, Some ACORN employees were just convicted of fraud in voter registration cases, not sure if it was St Louis or Milwaukee. FWIW.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 23, 2010 -> 09:13 AM) Has anyone heard a good reason why the pre-existing/cap exclusion parts of this bill aren't applicable to adults for another 4 years? I would think the cost of implementing them sooner would have put the price tag on this bill well over the trillion dollar mark. Just a guess.

QUOTE (vandy125 @ Mar 23, 2010 -> 07:13 AM) I'm not sure I read that right. Are you saying that if you saved a couple of hundred bucks a year by not having insurance, you wouldn't do it? I sure would. Especially since I know that if I were to get something bad like cancer or something like that I could jump into the insurance pool at any time. Yeah its not like were in a recession and every dollar counts or something. What's a few hundred bucks a year.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 22, 2010 -> 08:41 PM) So i kept seeing these off-hand comments about student loans, and was like, what happened? I thought the loan thing was dead in the water. Apparently, in the sidecar going through reconciliation, that student loan reform to make the gov't directly give loans to student is in it. If that passes, that's huge! It saves so much money that frankly, I hope they just put right back into loans for students, lots more pell grants, etc. I'm really pleased with this. I'm really pleased right now with the House, I'm going to help my local congressman for 2010. QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 22, 2010 -> 09:06 PM) It should be noting that student loans was a privatization program that was way more wasteful than doing it themselves. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 22, 2010 -> 09:13 PM) I think the fact that you think it's a terrible idea to eliminate a $50 billion subsidy to the banks that gets the country absolutely no benefit because the government is evil says a lot. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 23, 2010 -> 07:54 AM) Wealthy banks. That's the #1 goal. Sallie Mae floating (selling) debt higher than the rate they charge for the loan. Good business model there.
