This is the best of the 3 recnt articles on MLP's .Maher was the only author who had the common decency, common sense and respect for his readers to spell out "Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs)" instead of speaking exclusively in acronyms.BTW, why were Heycke & Kostohrvz posting in a financial blog with their Match.Com pictures ? Borat trades Master Limited Partnerships ?

"To put that in perspective, from George Washington to Ronald Reagan the U.S. government racked up a grand total of about one trillion dollars of debt"Your article is perfect. This fact is wrong.
When Regan left office in 1988 the Gross federal debt was $2.601 trillion.
When we were attacked in 2001 the Gross federal debt was $5,769 trillion.Gooseing and manipulating a "guns and butter" economy for a decade has America at $14 trillion.

Graham & Dodd Investing went out the window with QE .Stocks are a hedge against debasement and haven't got a thing to do with value.Where will you be when all the green money turns blue overnight?

Mc Fadden,you are correct.I've been long and bullish since St Patricks Day 2009 based on the perverse notion that massive debasement of fiat currency could only be offset by buying high grade American Equities.
On Dec 26 2010 I posted here on SA " Above 14,260 is the minimum objective to the upside."My proprietary technical work still confirms this. Earnings will soon reflect the exports we enjoyed as a result of the debasement of the dollar.
"Buy American" as we capitalize on the eradication of socialism in southern europe.

Dr. Duru,
You are right.
With 16 days of consolidation and slow grinding up it has to explode to the upside just to attract sellers.
11,284 on the DOW future was the Fibbonacci .618% retracement of the down market killing any technical case that this is a bear market rally.
Above 14, 260 is the minimum objective to the upside.

"The snapping of the branch – sending investors big losses – may not be imminent, but it is inevitable."Yes Mr Galland you are right on all counts except ..." imminent ".This sixty year old had 20 years on the "Street" 15 of which was in the T -Bond pit at the Chicago Board of Trade let me say this from full blown bond Bear market experience ; when bond prices go down they go down three times as fast as they went up and always a lot further lower than anyone predicted. Combine this with the fact that all the bond market bear traders are dead, the primary dealer network is dominated by foreigners and the federal govenment has turned its back on the maturity ladder at the long end of the yeild curve for a decade while debasing the fiat currency and you have a cataclysim beyond anyones wildest dreams.The world changed last week .www.washingtonsblog.co...www.cmegroup.com/tradi.../

Mr . Cuban,
No market maker , man or machine stands in the way of a freight train .
HFT is for stable markets to scalp for a profit not a public service and represents 70 % of today's volume.No market maker , man or machine will stand in front of a massive arbitrage trade or rumor that institutional compliance department have issued orders to stop trading with Goldman Sachs because it its clear that they front run customer orders and are serial violators of fiduciary duties.Stick to multi media and wipe that smirk off your face.

What did they know and when did they know it and was there criminal intent ? Here's the timeline.GSA laid off CDS risk onto AIG.
Rubin demanded that Thomas G. Maheres write CDS to extreme levels against Citi Banks capital.

This Greenspan put was a crisis by design, connecting the dots is an intellectual excersize.www.vanityfair.com/bus...

What a pile of BS.
"David Goldman in defense of Bankster fees buried in 'securities' that were designed to skirt non existent reserve requirements" should be the title of this article.Bring back Glass - Steagall and make banking a capital offense.

What hubris to publish this tripe while "Financial Reform" legislation is being pushed down Americas throat.

In the trading pits we call this "whipsawed".Small biusness employs 65% of the American workforce.
Does Bloomberg have a chart on their activities?Will this inventory build up be accounted for with FIFO accounting?
How will the inventory build up that ocured with 'inflationary expectations' impact the earnings of the S&P as they are liquidated in a deflation?Greenspan just said that the current credit crunch is “by far the greatest financial crisis, globally, ever” — including the 1930s Great Depression.

"Why would an investor bother and just sit on the capital instead?"Fiduciaries managing mega assets around the globe are required to account for where their assets including cash like assets are parked.Cash management has to be done one way or the other in a global deflationary environment.This is a way of compelling 'sovreign' fixed income investors to move further out the maturity ladder in order to fund their credit default swap payments too.

"Deliberately causing a loss to a regulated insurance underwriter is a felony" R.C.Whalen yesterday in IRA.
This felony occurred on Bernankes watch; what's the debate?If this government is legitimate, then why hasn't Congress / Senate held formal investigations and open hearings on Credit Default Swaps, Collateralized Debt Obligations & fraudulently securitized toxic mortgage backed securities ?
The financial system is still crippled by bad banks and a lack of trust in the authorities. Things have not been able to progress and are getting worse .The government needs to act to try to find anyone who is guilty and punish those people. That is important for the country to heal.
"From 1998-2008, Wall Street investment firms, commercial banks, hedge funds, real estate companies and insurance conglomerates made political contributions totaling $1.725 billion and spent another $3.4 billion on lobbyists -- a financial juggernaut aimed at undercutting federal regulation." ...that's an average of one million $, per year, per politician in bribes from the financial sector ALONE.www.albionmonitor.com/...www.takeitbackday.org/

"Once you open the door for government to rewrite or abrogate contracts, all property rights would be in jeopardy"News flash Ned.
America is bankrupt. Thats why they call it "reorganization"
All contracts that are DISADVANTAGEOUS to the bankruptcy estate are torn up. Start with credit default swaps, and interestrate swaps that have no capital or collateral behind them. Then go to Jeffs ingenious proposal.No room for ideologues in a reorg.

Please note that it is the COMBINATION of Synthetic Collateralized Debt Obligations and other toxic securitizations all designed to get around securities laws and breech fiduciary obligations combined with the opaque OTC derivatives."The simultaneous selling of securities to customers and shorting them because they believed they were going to default is the most cynical use of credit information that I have ever seen. When you buy protection against an event that you have a hand in causing, you are buying fire insurance on someone else's house and then committing arson." Sylvain R. Raynes

December 23, 2009As the Congress wrestles with the political and financial aftermath of the Great Financial Blowout of 2008, a great deal of time and attention is being paid on the possibility of reform legislation regarding banks and consumer protection.

But don't hold your breath for any real change in the political equation.
