    That's right. Bailouts and QE, intended to reinflate asset prices (real estate and equity), have zero affect on asset prices (energy and commodities). Brilliant. How does Krugman know which asset class is buoyed, and which isn't? Cheap money inflates stocks but not oil prices? Real estate but not the price of corn? Or wheat? Anyhow. These are the fucking idiots that run our economy.

  3. Can you please define what a "commie" job is? Just to clarify discourse.

  5. No alerts for targets and stops?

    You should work on that, it will make your trading life much much easier.
     
  6. Yea; but I don't take my eyes off of CL--it can fuck you quickly @the NYSE open, eh?

    peace

    Good point. As soon as inflation becomes high let's kill all the speculators.

    How is that accomplished, without destroying capital markets, liquidity, and price discovery? Sorta a difficult problem.
