Not really. Either way, again, what does this have to do with the impact of oil prices on the US economy?
I know I went off-topic a bit but at least that was inspired by prior comments. Wtf does this have to do with the effects of higher oil prices?
Looks like a decent hedged short (buy some insurance calls you never know what kind of stupid pranks they pull with a 23% short float)
Morganist, I wonder about your general idea of commercializing macro economic policy, it seems a bit off. I don't mind people who make a go of it...
All right. I had not understood that point from the communications that I did see earlier (it's not really my main focus) and I was surprised with...
You make an interesting point, but it is particularly fair. The FED can't directly inflate the equity asset market and to the best of my knowledge...
Basically, you are right and the FED has not actually been "wrong" by holding rates. They just aren't particularly right in doing so either....
To the OP: the idea of raising rates is not feasible in the face of an oil rally. As I mentioned, oil price rally is mostly deflationary and not...
Nothing personal, but your analysis is totally wrong. The fact that oil is traded in USD has no real impact on the value of the USD (Run in your...
All right, I skipped over the part where it said "Margin account" so you are right. Interest and dividend part should still be taken into account...
Say what? A short position pays out interest on the cash position. Also interest != risk. Depending on the broker's risk models the margin...
Agree with 1st part, disagree with the 2nd. I think that the financial system is way more "ready to collapse" now than it was in 2008. I think if...
It's best to ignore comments from Buffet at this point. He's been bullish since 09 anyway so if you're a buffet follower you would've been long...
Don't care for forecasters in general but I watched the video and he implies that the market is oversold in all terms, however could continue...
You all realize that economists "studying lots of data" just means they looked at it, calculated a growth rate and extrapolated that into the...
Nevermind what happened during the weekend :D
Did you know also that the S&P500 can be predicted with 90% accuracy (or something ridiculous anyway) by elephant migration patterns in Africa?...
Indeed what the above posters said, it will probably slow down into the close. Just because you are freaked out by all the news and shit, doesn't...
Why does everyone think they want freedom and democracy? That's such an idealist picture to sketch of the situation...
Hm look at that, uptrend is getting wrecked on the S&P now with complete disregard for support levels. Looked like the French had somewhat more...
