Was the Chicago PMI Leaked?

People who would pay for this info 3 minutes prior could care less what the market is going to do past 9:50am. The simple fact is knowing the number prior gives you a view into the short term future. Futures traders make a killing off of trades like this. S&P futures dropped almost 20 handles once the number came out. To think that people who pay for this early look are long term investors is completely ignorant....a trend in the majority of the commentaries I read on this website.

I was browsing the foreclosures in my hometown on realtytrac recently and was surprised to find my own apt on their list. I'm pretty certain I would know if I was going into foreclosure.

Anheuser Busch Discount to InBev Deal

I am shocked by the ignorance of some of these readers. Elaine, Budweiser is in the middle of an acquisition which would pay Bud shareholders $70 per share. Your comments are therefore meaningless. Pessimistic, the only chance this stock has to go to 35 is if Inbev says the merger is off. It is amazing how little understanding Main St has of the stock market. So quick to point fingers over this financial mess when in reality they helped kick off this whole disaster with the mortgage meltdown. It's probably these same people who took on adjustable mortgages and then realized 5 years later after the rate increase 2 fold that they can't actually afford their house anymore. You can blame Wall St all you want but if you want to see who's just as responsible for this mess, please look in the mirror.

Citigroup Is Heading into the Single Digits

User 52095,

Why dont you be a little more creative than copy/pasting the same response at the bottom of every article on the website. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to Wall Street and you clearly voted for Obama. You are most likely unemployed and are waiting for all of the government handouts.

GM May Hit $200 Before Oil Does

Seem to be quite full of yourself. Why aren't you getting paid to be a "hot shot" analyst if you're so good? I guess you make a better living posting articles on seekingalpha.com.

How Deceitful Are the Big Banks?

Serge,

I'm short the sector, especially the brokerage stocks which you have a hard time distinguishing. I too believe they are great shorts, but to classify LEH, MER, MS as big banks is ignorant. They are just not the same animal. Keep pretending like you actually know what you're talking about.

How Deceitful Are the Big Banks?

Serge,

You have to be an ignoramus to believe that banks and brokerage houses are one in the same. It's amazing how many "experts" are on this website.

How Deceitful Are the Big Banks?

Be careful of your generalizations. You really only mention 1 bank in this entire article.
