A 1% Rate Isn't What It Used To Be

you can't even step back to analyze your own question. don't you think that there might be a problem there?

I dont think people who aren't willing to pay up on their loans should get credit, why have % rates inside country low just to give it to people who will throw the money out?

you dont have to loan to EVERY SINGLE PERSON. just because an option is there doesn't mean you have to take it. select your options, take a step back, remove the fear so you evaluate where the real value is going to be.

ROH, DOW, BUD:Three Arbitrage Opportunities?

ok so why are seeing the mass drop in the market?
Does sending our dollars overseas when "buy in bulk" like this cause the dollars that are here to change in value relative to say... the stock market?

Why I'm Committed to the UltraShort Financials ETF

ow.

ROH, DOW, BUD:Three Arbitrage Opportunities?

ooh... is this real money too? what call to make in this where one person thinks its a game. and then in the other one where I really am talking to another person who doesn't talk like you so it has real possibility of actually existing the scale of the design?

and you guys keep seeing the second delayed messages now at this point, so other messages keep getting crosswired. I see this in your response.

I see this on OTHER web boards from all the spamming I have been doing on this web page. So it does have actual possibility.

OK sure I'll bite. I love games. I can't get enough of them.

Let us play this game.

Who said the abitrage opportunity was 10%?

Market Tales Get Taller

Actually if the next President does the right thing he will make the US hurt alot to squeeze out bad financial institutions, market bubbles, inflation, asset bubbles, and real estate and derivatives speculators. Then he should re-inflate the market to get business as usual started without any risk of inflation or fear the US deficit will mushroom anytime soon again. Politically, it's best to di it the first 2 years than 2 years before a re-election. In fact, you can blame most of the pain on the last President who rightly derserves it.

Yep. constructe said it best. I learn.

Market Tales Get Taller

Hey Constructe, Ill bite.

I'll play your gamble because that is what I saw originally.

We take out a 2.7T loan in their currencies.
we then lower our treasury interest rate to 0.
when this happens investors wont want to hedge their currencies with ours because guess why? they wont make any profit doing it.

buy their gold. we buy all the gold. they get our dollars.
use their currencies from that 2.7T loan to invest back into their own markets and buy their equities. their markets go up, their dollars stop inflating and start deflating.

we sell the gold back to them, we get our dollars back. now their economies are stabilized.

we sell their equities and market securities. we get their cash.
we buy their exports with their own dollars. they get a reset of their finances, we get our economic goods.

I was talking to god and the devil in this last game, and I believe it too.

7 Steps To Restore Functioning Markets

They would rather sit back, be hyper conservative and ride the yield curve on their cash. Safe. Stable. Low returning, yes. But they won't go bust.

huh. so what your saying is is that they would still have cash reserves? ... oh no bankers need jobs too. they get bored easily.

7 Steps To Restore Functioning Markets

thats why they might have to go looking for gold mines to find a good value purchase.

7 Steps To Restore Functioning Markets

Why lend to businesses if consumption is collapsing? Why offer mortgages if housing prices are falling? Why lend to other banks if I don't believe their financial statements? What Messrs. Paulson et al didn't internalize is that simply giving banks capital doesn't mean they will offer it.

yeah he did. bankers need jobs too.

In Defense of the U.S. Taxpayer: End Deferred Compensation and Its Tax Subsidy

I dont know actually. I think the whole concept of deferred compensation and executive compensation etc etc etc is actually pretty damn good as it "normally" has been.

if you start playing with peoples deferred comp you start changing their plans for the future that they have already invested in.

; )

In Defense of the U.S. Taxpayer: End Deferred Compensation and Its Tax Subsidy

and no internal loans to back banking companies shouldn't be unsecured in the US. those assets should be backed by something, duh, obviously.

In Defense of the U.S. Taxpayer: End Deferred Compensation and Its Tax Subsidy

But what about all those banks and Wall Street firms that have received massive capital injections under TARP, firms that may or may not have survived without Government (read: U.S. taxpayer) assistance? A good chunk of TARP funds are effectively backstopping these liabilities. Is this right and fair? I'd say not.

sure.

speaking of executive pay, if you have a better idea. you impliment it. remember its YOUR country, I just live in it.

Why the Fed's Out of Control

"The short-term objective for open market operations is specified by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). This objective can be a desired quantity of reserves or a desired price (the federal funds rate). The federal funds rate is the interest rate at which depository institutions lend balances at the Federal Reserve to other depository institutions overnight. "

here I will ad this I feel bad for starting in on the author like that now, lol. it was stolen right of the federalreserve.gov home page.

Why the Fed's Out of Control

Alright that was a harsh burn, I am getting tired. I probably shouldn't have written that reply, that was a tad bit harsh to the author. they did after all take the time to write the article. my bad.

Why the Fed's Out of Control

I love the first sentence in the third paragraph. I'm just gonna analyze it and stop right there.

what was your question? I'm sorry I missed it.

lets start over again, what is: Open market operations--purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities?

The Federal Reserve's principal tool for implementing monetary policy. This is not a stock company this a global national level tool to effect some change, do you know what that change is?
