"Erasing" the NYSE might be unrealistic. "Bringing it down temporarily" would already be a feat worth bragging about.
Anonymous Threatens to 'Erase' the NYSE

I think as long as the banks get a "time-out", are not allowed to play for a few minutes, and then promise that they will be good from now on, then everything will be fine, and no one will need to take any actual responsibility for their actions.

I get it - fish is energy, oil is energy. I am not arguing that. What I am arguing against is your statement that wealth can only be transferred between people, and cannot be created. This is false.

OK, so then new wealth can be created, not only taken from other people. Now we are getting there

krisware, there is lots of stuff to argue about in economics. This is not one of them. If your position were true, we would still be living in the stone age. Your oil argument is meaningless. You can also say that without steel we wouldn't be ...

Then every single economist in the world must be dreaming too. If you don't understand the most basic principles of economics, please don't try to discuss the subject.

Thanks, I try to remain civilized through disagreement, although I sometimes fail. What I was trying to say before, as far as market economies go, is that I think your previous post contradicts itself. How can market economies end up on the scrap ...

I definitely agree that there are no free market economies in the world, just different degrees of un-freedom. However you do say that there have never been any, and yet any nation that has tried it ended up in the scrap heap. So has there ever been ...

So you think a free market economy is the same thing as anarchy?
Are we the next Japan?
- fierceman commented Sep 27, 2011
Just for the record, that war statement was sarcasm. I am not in the process of taking up arms and invading anyone. As for free markets resulting in totalitarian regimes, when in history did this happen? Free markets are not the same as anarchy. In ...

War spending lifted the economy out of the recession. Ergo, we should all go to war, for the sake of the economy. Got it.

It's not about pleasing other countries, it's about pleasing the banks, while telling the taxpayers that if they struggle it will only hurt more. Is that what you would have suggested in the years leading up to WW2? Things were bad then, but still ...

Poland Intervening

Any introductory text on economics says that taxes create dead-weight loss in an economy. This is not really disputable. Citing Norway, an oil-rich nation of 4 million people, is not a fair comparison. You could mention Sweden for example, but even ...

Some pretty crazy short term price action there. Oanda claims it is a problem with the data they received from the banks, so it's not a big surprise that you are seeing the same thing on a number of different broker feeds. What should be more of a ...

The likelihood of generating a trading system with a positive expectancy is much better on longer term systems, theoretically, because of the relatively low transaction costs (and possibly other factors as well). Someone who does succeed in ...
Bernanke Announces $400 Billion Twist – Dollar Rises
- fierceman commented Sep 21, 2011
Higher taxes ALWAYS depress economic activity. It is just a matter of how much of a hit the economy can take, and to what end. Right now, in my view, the economy cannot take any kind of a hit, so new taxes should not even be on the table.
