Common Sense Lieberman

Discussion in 'Wall St. News' started by libertad, Jun 19, 2008.

  1. I don't really understand what Lieberman's up to. I think he feels he has a real shot at getting the nod from his pal McCain to run as VP. But this kind of socialistic overregulation will be anathema to McCain's economic advsors like Gramm. Maybe it is payback for hedgies who backed his opponent in the democrat primary. Maybe he is just playing for the media.

    Who knows? It's a very stupid idea though from a guy who has a lot of dumb ideas. No wonder he and McCain are buds.

  2. Clearly, the little Jew who got left out of the PNAC team is vying for some political position with McCain the dumb fucking dolt..

    I'm a hebe so I can say that..

    But MAN, Lieberman makes me wanna join the Ku Klux Klan..(to quote Chris Rock)

    I see. Thank you for your thoughtful answer.

    I just don't know much about the working of these commodity index funds. Could you go a little further in explaining why commodity index funds are always long? Knowing that markets go up and down aren't they trying to catch the both directions? You mean they are just going long trusting the natural tendancy of prices to increase?

    Thanks again

    he just loves coming up with these ridiculous economic policy "solutions". I am curious who his advisers are on this one.

  5. Olbermann had his Enron loophole segment:

    Partisan of course but does anyone really believe the price of oil is this high solely on supply and demand? I remember the blackouts in California, during Enron's reign of terror, were blamed on everything from the dot com boom to Gray Davis not building more generators.

  7. Also buddy did O'Reiily ever once mention the Enron loophole or anything like that? No he certainly didn't. He is a fucking panderer deluxe and it appears as if I've hit a soft spot with you!

  8. No, you haven't hit a "soft" spot with me whatsoever. I'm really not one to get involved in the political "pissing-matches" here on ET with people who have large Egos. Been there, done that. Years ago on ET.

    As for O'Reilly, I don't really care for the guy ( or Fox News ) for that matter.

    That having been said, I do believe that he mentioned the lack of CFTC oversight . . . and that is a general way of dumbing things down for the viewing audience and pointing to the ICE and DME without having to "educate" the viewer about the specifics.

    The Enron "loop-hole" is a result of NO CFTC oversight over these exchanges. O'Reilly didn't have to mention the "loop-hole". I believe he touched upon lack of CFTC regulation and transparency.

  9. Fair enough, I don't like to argue either. I'm way to busy losing alot of money today to concentrate on this :) Anyways I guess the clip I saww mentioned nothing of that but it was a clip and not a whole segment. I do agree that "dark pools" are firly intriguing and something worth looking into and studying more.

    Have a great weekend
