It has plenty to do with it. The Clusterf**K scenario Gator described over in the Swamp sounds farfetched at first, but if you work it all the way through it's constitutionally possible that it could happen, and so some of the big money has to at ...

The Really Useless Thread

Oh, I didn't think of that. You're right. This is gonna get interesting real fast if neither of them gets 270

The Swamp

Agree. Could be a huge crisis if that happened. But I don't think it could go to the Supreme Court directly (unless you think 'other public ministers' means the POTUS, although from the context it doesn't seem so). Article III, Section 2 says In all ...

Found out what happens if it goes to the supreme court and deadlocks there. The lower court's decision stands (see Texas v US). Since it would be a challenge affecting the Presidency, the lower court would probably be the US District Court of ...

The Swamp

The Supreme Court can't override the constitution. The only thing it can do is to interpret what what a particular phrase means differently than it has been understood in the past. But the wording of the 12th is pretty clear that this situation is ...

Sure, they could pick anybody, even an independent that got less electoral votes than the other two. Didn't get what you meant about the Supreme Court coming into the picture though..

The Swamp

It goes by electoral votes, not popular vote. So it's if nobody gets 270 votes that there's a problem. In that case the House elects the president from the three canditates who got the most electoral votes. Each state delegation has one vote. (12th ...

Between that and the logo, I'm more inclined to think it's Hillary and Bill at their finest....

Looks like u were right. Seems her speech writer pranked her but good (along with, apparently whoever designed the new campaign logo). video

Hi Gator, I might have fixed this for you. (I have no idea what it's supposed to do, but I got it to compile and here's what it looks like. The mistake was apparently that arrays that were supposed to be date arrays were inited as int arrays.) You ...

Seems to be working too. Might not be so funny if it actually happens. url

Probably more like Grexit, Departugal, Italeave, Fruckoff, CzechOut, Oustria, Finnish, Latervia, Byegium, and finally Germalone. The Brits seem to have done it again. video

Not a biggie - I track those. 1228 was where Yellen hinted about the December hike and 1330 was where the ECB announced extended QE. I don't have anything that got a big reaction in between those two.

The Swamp

1265 is last year's mid (at least on my broker - I think some have it as 1286 due to different opens if I remember right). Sometimes around the biggies there's a zone a few pips to either side.

I don't know about Hillary having someone pass out chocolate. But something I've been thinking about for a long time (basically since I started thinking about the meaning of and possible reasons for the monthly engulfing bar last April) is ...

The Swamp

I can think of something that might account for it. I once read a book by one of the old famous traders (and unfortunately it was ages ago and I've read so many of the that I don't remember who it was) who claimed that he personally prevented a ...

Agree, they are. But the reputable sites are also reporting it: url .
