I wouldn't judge a team by how good/bad they were last year... Never know who leaves to go pro and who is new that can take over. The least number of points scored by Oregon's offense this year: 42... And they are 6-0. OSU is good too, but I'll ...

Ya think? Oregon looks friggin TOUGH. Oh and there's that Boise State bunch just waiting in the wings...

Strange bonds. I can't really run any analytics on bloomberg such as Price/yield calculations. Also they look like they have sinking provisions as well as call provisions which would make them a little more tricky to model. That said - I wouldn't ...

Pretty sweet payroll # today: -95k overall Jobs lost +64k "Private sector" jobs created (lower than expected) -6k manufacturing jobs lost Unemployment rate stead at 9.6% (more people dropping out of the workforce). And Japan can't push the yen ...

Well, I have a slightly different take on this. First off, it is possible that they are BOTH right. Pisani may be referring to all equity fund flows and not just "Long-Term Mutual Fund Flows" (the chart ZH posts). LT Mutual Fund flows DO NOT include ...

RYN Update: — RYN not going as planned! (and to add insult to injury, was actually down marginally on yesterday's buy-a-thon, so perhaps I'm a bit early on this one...) image Yesterday = pinbar, today is the dark blue bar after only 1hr of ...

Hmm.. those are interesting stats indeed. Does every broker have to release that? I wonder if certain brokers have better stats than others? Here's an explanation (just making this up, have no numbers to back it up) Perhaps the 'ol 95% rule we ...

Yup - sold at 1.3023 and have watched my gains evaporate over the last few hours. Might get stopped out, might not... I guess we'll see.

Here are two links regarding this issue (I'm guessing that zero hedge might have a more colorful take on this)... url url This could be a dumb question, but are we sure that these loans are to Swiss banks? Couldn't it be a Hungarian or Romanian ...

Exactly right - i'll send Stewrigh a PM to take this offline.

LOL - this again? So I assume that you're smart enough to determine who is smart enough to vote? The landed gentry can guide this nation back to it's heritage of plantations & slaves? It amazes me that people bemoan the "liberal elite" when it is ...

Yup - those areas worried me, so i've already moved my stops to just past breakeven - will be a shame if my ~1% gain evaporates, but that's part of the game I suppose. AUD/CAD also looks interesting on the weekly...

RYN: — Here's one that I'm currently long. It's making good money and growing earnings, it's in a good sector, and the technical setup is appealing to me -- You see it struggling at a round # like $50 and even has a positive day yesterday when ...

Oh come on...It's Matt Tiabbi -- Of course it's slanted! But sometimes even slanted articles reveal some truths that no one seems to want to confront. But anyway, here's a weekly pinbar I didn't see anyone post... image

One last thing on Rand Paul -- Who like his father, has some genuinely good positions mixed in with some decidedly wing-nut fringe positions (e.g. the civil rights act went too far and business should have the right to discriminate against whoever ...
