cwd Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 If they ban prop trading,how the hell they gonna unwind all of the trades? It certainly will put tremendous pressure on the market,unless all the banks are short....Anyone have a clue how this will happen? I would assume they would be spun off as independent hedges funds which is what they now are using inside info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FranciscoTheMan Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Heh FranMan, IT'S REALLY COLD TODAY. My car registered 39 degrees outside at the Berkeley BART station at 4pm. I think we could have snow in the EB hills tonight if this keeps up. Yep, tonight is my weekly mountain bike ride, but I think the fellas aren't up for it. last week was a classic... it's [always] a rolling party.

mdporter Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 So I think this is mostly a ploy to show the press and the public and the congress a shiny new thing which they can now follow for months and months while nothing is done about OTC derivatives or even if they are lucky Tim and Ben. Well that might be a stretch but one shiny thing always puts many other things back in the shadows. Just like I believe the whole health care thing was designed to take the spotlight off the financial crisis. That is a pretty paranoid view but now that HC is almost dead the White House said nothing or rather they said it is up to congress and they have moved on. This whole thing came right out of the blue. No trial ballons, nothing, 5 days before the state of the union speech. You may be on to something here. I've noticed that this administration cannot be out of the spotlight, not even for a day. I'm ready for a break from Government... government shuts up and goes home for a few weeks. No announcements, proclamations, programs, or anything. If this happened the 24/7 news media would collectively blow up. They wouldn't know what to talk about.

FranciscoTheMan Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 In Oakland we have the government just going away for awhile.... at least if you consider the Library. Due to furloughs the MLK holiday was extended through Tuesday for the library. Not knowing this, I was walking some books back on Tuesday night. After finding the library closed and the drop-offs over flowing, I did encounter one city worker diligently proceeding with his assigned duties: it was the stooge that drives around looking for the cars of people who have not payed their back citations..... he was putting "boots" on cars. hah!

I_Am_Madness Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 GDX right on the trend line. Unless we get a nice move up in Gold overnight, there's a good chance this thing will gap below it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drano Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 OMG ! ! ! What's Miss South Carolina up to these days? Why, she's going to be traveling the world, on The Amazing Race. http://tv.yahoo.com/the-amazing-race-16/sh...te-amazing-race Isn't that special? "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps, and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq everywhere like, such as and I believe that they should," she said during the 2007 pageant when asked why she thought 20 percent of Americans could not locate the United States on a world map. "Our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., er, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."
