capitall Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Someone had asked about brokers over the weekend on MTM. SmartMoney Ranks E*TRADE the #1 Online Broker http://finance.yahoo.com/news/SmartMoney-R...81934.html?.v=1 Etrade didn't used to have its act together years ago when I first signed up with them. But lately they are pretty good, for my needs. I don't have enough recent experience with different brokers to have an opinion about whether they are the best currently though.

Inflation,deflation,stagflation.....Who cares as long as I make a profit on every trade,I can still buy the Big Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psyche doctor Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 The first set of charts I posted last week are working as planned. I am expecting some type of shorting opportunity once price gets into resistance zones on last chart. However, it might not even make it to the zones and have already topped.

DrStool Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 http://wallstreetexaminer.com/2009/05/18/u...ion-fed-report/ Uncle Ben?€™s Exit Door - Professional Edition Fed Report by Lee Adler, Monday, May 18, 2009, in Money and The Fed, Professional Edition | Permalink |Comments (0) Edit One thing that I noticed today, thanks to a poster on Capitalstool.com?€™s Stool Pigeons Wire message board, is that the amount of paper the Primary Dealers are offering the Fed has exploded to 5 to 10 times what the Fed actually takes at each operation where the Fed offers to buy Treasuries. In the first week of the program in mid March when the players thought that the plan would push bond yields lower and prices up, the ratio was only around 3. It seems like there?€™s a fire in a crowded theater and all the exit doors are locked except this one, manned by Uncle Ben. And he?€™s only letting so many out at a time as the fire builds inside. You have to wonder how many more primary dealers are going to die in the conflagration. We know from the Primary Dealer data that they are positioned dead wrong for a market with rising yields. There?€™s potentially an enormous disaster under way here, and few seem to recognize it. Click here to download complete report in pdf format (Professional Edition Subscribers).

mdporter Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, charged with helping lead the nation out of its housing crisis, are facing "critical" financial problems, federal regulators said Monday. The companies suffer from severe financial, operational and compliance weaknesses, the Federal Housing Finance Agency said a report to Congress detailing its annual examinations of the firms. Taken over by the government in September, Fannie and Freddie are not able to operate without federal assistance. "With new senior management teams, each enterprise has made strides in remediating problems," the agency said. "But they still face numerous significant challenges including building and retaining staff and correcting operational and credit management weaknesses that led to conservatorship." Dead Fannie Walking. Dead corpses being reanimated with unlimited money from the federal government, all fraud having been overlooked for 15 years, in the vain hope that they'll rescue the housing market and the eCONomy from the death gurgle. Effers. Fannie and Freddie should be allowed to fail outright along with the bad banks. If that isn't done soon we are going to pull a Japan for the next 20 years.
