Fly, you want to be fair and balanced. That’s just being silly.
There’s no justification to suggest that FDR’s policies that simply prolonged the depression, were anti-commerce and basically fascistic could compared with Reagan’s classic liberalism.
That’s just a sick joke.
oops that was me
the wheel turns slowly, but am heartened to see it turn.
I am easily satisfied with the very best…..
dead on again, Fly. The only thing I think they should do, and this should not be construed as Leftie, is single payer health insurance. There is no way around this unless they start turning away the sick in the E.R. rooms. If you don’t do single payer, allow the health insurers in on this, then you’re doing it half-assed and you’ll end up with some disfunctional hybrid. We need to bite the bullet and put a program in place similar to what the army has. That should save about 1 trillion dollars per year of GDP, free up the labor force to start their own businesses, innovate, negotiate for a living wage, move between jobs. It would also stop far more foreclosures than you can imagine, since prior to this mess, half the foreclosures were related to unpaid medical bills. It’s far more “free-market” than anything the Right is proposing. Health is not a commodity. I have personal experience with this.

Steel doesn’t need to melt for a structure to fail. Thermal expansion leads to P-Delta effect & results in buckling of columns in compression.

We have single payer here in Australia which is the system being talked about in Washington in terms of emulating. It sucks. The cost is hidden but it represents about 8% of GDP which is about the same as the US if you strike out medical R&D costs the US has and we don’t as well as the remarkably paper intensive US system that breeds inefficiencies.
You need single payer privately funded with a tax breaks. that should introduce competition as people look around for cheap deals
socializing the medical system doesn’t work as it doesn’t introduce price the price single in the market.

This venue is about banking coin, not discussing subprime ideas. I repeat, you are too old for this venue.
bought long JRCC 15.70 for a trade
That should save about 1 trillion dollars per year of GDP, free up the labor force to start their own businesses, innovate, negotiate for a living wage, move between jobs.
The one sixth of the economy that “innovates, etc.” in the health care field be damned.
As well as our health.
It blows my mind that given the example just north of us (not to mention the myriad crumbling gummymint health care systems worldwide), this is even on the table.
If we socialize our health care system, where will Candadians go to be rescued from their own?
So selfish to do the Canuckistanians wrong like that!

FLY – Whats up with this gay threesome of mrkcbill, Jed and Zombie. Really ? Don’t they have a gays anonymous website or something where these 3 fags can continue their fudgepackery.
Canada’s health care system works fine, why do you think everything else is crumbling? It’s not – it’s the US that is crumblng and failiing – socialism has worked for hundreds if not thousands of years – capatilism lasted just over 100 – not the most robust system obvioulsy.
Hey Donny what’s up? Banking coin is what this whole site is about, discussing subprime could very well be related. I don’t get what the fuck toilet paper has to do with it?
DUG looks good for today if it can hold that 21.40 on this down move. XOM and CVX seem to be rolling over on the shorter time frames.

RE: Regions Assists FDIC by Acquiring Deposits of Georgia Bank
We have announced today that Regions has acquired from the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) approximately $285 million in total
deposits of FirstBank Financial Services in Henry County, Georgia. For
the second time within five months, the FDIC has asked Regions to
provide a safe harbor for customers banking at a failed institution. Our
Integration Team is prepared to execute the conversion process, and we
are confident we will see the same excellent results achieved with the
Integrity integration. This acquisition reinforces the fact that
despite the challenges facing all banks, there are opportunities for
strong institutions like Regions to expand their customer bases.
Under the terms of our agreement with the FDIC, Regions will provide
banking services to former FirstBank customers, and the bank’s four
branches in Henry County will begin operating as Regions branches
beginning Monday, February 9th for a 90- day transition period. During
this period, approximately 6,400 FirstBank customer accounts will be
transitioned to Regions accounts, with customers being able to enjoy all
the products and services available throughout our 16-state franchise.
As leaders, you are in an important position to share this good news
with associates. Please stress that this acquisition is an excellent
example of Regions’ strength and stability, as well as our commitment to
build for the future.
I want you to use the attached talking points document when you meet
with your teams to communicate this information. I appreciate your
continued leadership and support as we share this positive story.
Both Deutsche and Barclays reported a sever bout of profititis in a week. Could be contagious?
Gramps-
Please don’t misinterpret my statement about J (aka Monetary Policy) being subprime. He is boring and his old school economic ranting is tiring and old. People come here to discuss ideas on banking coin, not being preached to by an old, angry fleabag.
As for SubPrime mortgages. I am very aware that they played a huge part in banking coin. Trust me, I know. You see, Donny, lives in what was the former SubPrime capital of the world … Orange County, CA.

I got a confirmation of triangle gap breakout to the downside on UUP. Kudlow is drawing a bath, ready to open his veins. Hopefully the mustard won’t clog the drain.
sheesh….sounds Pisani thinks he is in the Zone!
i live in canada…and our healthcare system is a piece of shit…6 months to get an MRI, 8 hrs for my kid in emrgency room….when im in scottsdale thats where me and family do all our yearly physicals etc…nothing like high quality private US healthcare…not cheap but top notch
One a more serious note, Ed HOC-huli has punched it’s turtlehead above the short term 61.8% (strong) fib from the 9/19 to 11/21 downplunge, which coincides with the 23.6% long term fib line (7/10/07 to 11/21/08).
Those lines are at $26.82, and if HOC stays above that point, I’d call it significant for HOC and the sector.
FWIW — HOC is up over 60% since I first started ranting about it here. The other refiners are in similar circumstances.
I’m selling a little bit of TSO here, juse because I’m overweight in it, but holding HOC, VLO and WNR as well.

Osmond, now I know you’re gay.
I’m not preaching, you illiterate moron. But coming on here in the third person and then telling everyone how much money you have made (always past tense) is thread wrecking.
So stop being a fucking troll, get up to speed on economic stuff or go suck dick, you boastful flea bag.

I think the market is heading higher and it’s going up because of the banks turning around a bit.
Barclays and Deutsche banks reported a profits. Ordinarily that no big deal in he sceme of things. However Deutsche said that January was a good month. BAC’s Lewis said the same thing. This of course doesn’t make a quarter. Interestingly Diamond at Barclays (Not JPM’s) said they made an extraordinary gain as a result of Lehman bond positions. so credit in certain sectors are obviously doing well.
Last week sever indicators like German PMI, US PMI and some Chinese PMI all came out better than the market was anticipating.
IF the package is well received tomorrow and appears even remotely shareholder friendly banks do ok and the Dog gets whacked.
I bought a copula banks despite selling out too early in BAC last Friday.

My positive tactical call initiated 1/27/09 remains in place with a stop on a close below SPX 800. My firm would become more defensively positioned on a move above SPX 1000 or a close below 800.
“Helicopter Ben” has become “Space Shuttle Ben.”
While many of the most stressed economic and credit related data is bouncing off the most stressed levels, any chance of a sustainable economic recovery appear limited.
The good news is my firm’s positive tactical call for upside in the SPX toward 1050 remains in place so we currently do NOT have to focus on the possibility that the rally is likely to be temporary. Indeed, every new bull market begins with a tactical rally that ends up (in hindsight) being fundamentally driven. If the market does reach toward our near-term target and the fundamental backdrop somehow miraculously points to significant and sustainable economic improvement, I’d likely suggest even higher prices.
The more realistic approach given the stress in credit – even on further improvement – is to adopt a much more defensive posture as the SPX moves above 1000 toward the target of 1050-1100
Eh, Juice. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news:

Now, hug it out.

Donny, you’re cool with me even if you like using the 3rd person thing, that has made me laugh as much as it drives J nuts. Fly’s shit is funny and smart, I was talking about the fucknuts that worry more about who’s blowing who in what bathroom instead of talking whatever shit they want about stocks.
J, Granpa is good with the Donny and you too my brother!

FUCK U ANon Gayass motherfucker aka DONNY. I don’t own any FAZ bitch. It a trading position. Still short the banks. Shorting more BAC JPM and WFC. Fuck You U’re DEAD !
Who out there, is stuck with FAZ? I’m averaged in at 55…..just wanted to get some thoughts.
Fly, I don’t see any reason to be fair and balanced. The Grande Olde Party has held the White House for 20 of the last 28 years. The only guy who managed a surplus was Clinton. Enough said.

I can assure you if I have something to say to you, I won’t do with an “Anonymous” tag.
BTW, did you really sell your FAZ shares. I know it never got anywhere near your average price of $63.89. That sucks.
Good Luck!
Jake,
Do you remember our recent discussion about mob justice, strikes, and the French? you said something like ‘Fuck them and the way they do bidness’…
Well I couldn’t agree more. Check this out. You might have to postpone your plans to open the Paris branch of your country line dancing empire. lol.
They can’t help themselves…they’ve just GOT to regulate something.
So are we looking at endless upside from here or do you guys think we are just in a short covering ahead of the bill?

Oh, and “funnier” is a word, btw. You’re good.
________________
From that hilarious article. The French are easy top pick on, but you read stuff like this and you think, “thank God we’ve inherited an Anglo Saxon form of governing structure, because this Euro-Meditarranean form is Roman tyranny all over again” —
Amateur instructors will have to take 200 hours of training under the new rules. Professionals will get 600 hours, including such subjects as line dancing techniques, “the mechanics of the human body” and the English (or at least Texan) language. They will also learn how to teach line dancing to the elderly.
The cost of the courses, about €2,000 (£1,570) for the professionals and €500 for the amateurs, will be largely met by taxpayers. Mr Chauveau said the regulations highlighted the French state’s obsessive desire to organise all public activity. “France is the only country in Europe apart from Greece where sport is controlled through the state,” he said. “Line dancing is now considered a sport, so it is being controlled, too.”
Just unbelievable!
