For trading, WSC, you got to start using short interest as one of your capping factors. You know better than I how powerful it is, and especially in today's world where people just flip in and out of things so much.

Yeah, the financials are so beaten up. Let's face it, there's going to be some sort of BAILOUT PACKAGE. I wish I knew when, but it will happen.....most likely after or during a total market meltdown.
When it hits, anyone short financials had better be deep in the money, cause total short squeeze chaos will ensue.
IMB at 12.40 is strong.....just hold it for the BAILOUT PACKAGE.

Scottrade is drivng me nuts lately, almost to the point that I need to move my more active accounts..the site freezes up and screws my browser..
WSC, I have that problem with Scottrade only when I used Firefox to open it. For whatever reason, it does not have a problem with IE so that is the one site I only use IE to open. Are you trying it with Firefox or IE or something else?

It IS Firefox, I will give IE a try...thanks for the tip!
Claycourt, you know the mountain we have to climb to replace the engine. BILLIONS of dollars and jobs are in the way. US automakers will pay anything they can to stop that from happening.
Depeche..

They will..(engines) and lucky we have innovation outside our large industry.
The real problem is our government needs to make the innovation cost effective, like other governments are doing..it is embarrasing that our government sucks so bad at making subsidies available to businesses and people who purchase alternative energy.

Sad actually. They should relabel it to say "American's Net Worth". What are we leaving for our kids? And if I hear one more dumbass on TV say, "it's only a problem if you travel out of the country", I'll go postal.

I dont think there is a trade going long the dollar either..when things slow down from the money machine (FED) and foreign demand slows, it wont be a catalyst for being long the dollar..
The FED doesnt get that they are actually making inflation WORSE by stimulating global demand and making imports more expensive.

I would give the FED credit for knowing that, they are not stupid, just wrong headed. They are doing that deliberately.They have chosen that inflation is much less a danger than a frozen credit market, and they may be right. They also know it boosts exports, and that foreign manufacturers end up eating a lot of the inflation cost to keep market share here. They know exactly what they ar doing to the dollar...

They know what they are doing, I disagree with what it accomplishes, and more importantly I disagree with cloaking their activities.
Why are they holding off normal natural economic cycle? WHY? Who are they trying to protect?
They are selling our assets at 20-50% discounts..our ASSETS..screw inflation and credit market conditions, plus they have been doing this for 5 plus yrs. So the recent developments might warrant the flooding, but why have they been doing this since pre-2003?
IMB just jumped..

On other thing:look at governmental subsidies. That topic in itself is an utter nightmare. We subsidize ethanol (that has been around for 100 years) and claim it is an energy policy, not a crop subsidy..
(Many people in the third world maintain our policy to be a crime against humanity:we are burning food that could keep thousands of people from starving, but which we turn into a relaticvely small amount of fuel).Not to mention that the damn stuff is energy neutral at best., if not net negative.
Off my soapbox, promise...except, wait, I will add, when one considers ALL costs, taxation, military expenditure etc etc that has gone into producing and protecting oil, some economists estimate that the real cost of a gallon of gas is already $15, we just do not pay it obviously at the tank.
