Oh hell ya !
Yay! Easily the best text message of my day. Is that "Current Song" feature working for anyone on the ZH Radio page (right margin)? Just wondering if it's kaput or it's one of my Add-Ons blocking it.
Marla, you still got that track where someone, I think it was you, was singing a sort of lounge song, perhaps with piano accompaniment, about Goldman and the likes?
The sound of the revolution has returned to us!
The music reminds me of club B3 in Moscow.............woohoo!!!!!
Rocking

Too many big words and unimportant figures like 'Plato' and 'Aristotle' muddy the quiz.
Wow, most of those economic ?s are straight propaganda. The definition of "capitalism" isn't even on there, free financial markets haven't led to much economic prosperity the last time I checked and international trade doesn't always lead to increased productivity (that depends on a whole host of other factors). And of course they throw in the cheap shot against communism in #27, which may or may not be true depending on the circumstances.

what did he do with the unicorn horn?
It was ground up in true communist fashion and shared with the masses...it's now called MSG ;-)

Joining a bit late for my liking but better a little than none at all.
My little Thorsten getting his first taste of Radio ZH. Woot.
Much love to you, Marla, from both of us! :)
"If this is your first night, you have to fight". Very nice.
Insomnia can be a gift.
My speaker is yours. No prob.
Marla - a gift for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94lW6Y4tBXs
Sorry for missing your party.
your like debbie downer on funday.
You're like kathy klueless on an inside joke.
[ *fixed* ]
damn I missed it
I have been becoming concerned about you Marla, you seem rare around here lately.
HELP! Could someone please kick me out of chat.zerohedge.com ?
I closed the window by mistake and I can't get back in because 'Mercury' is already in use.
I'm sure there's a more elegant way to do this but I haven't used this thing in a while and am in the process of moving software to new computer...
mercury that used to happen to me all the time, use like mercury1 or something...but if ya wait a few min's your old sign on will log out and you can get back in, i'm sure this is late news but for future reference
Thanks darlin' but I don't think that works anymore since the room is restricted to registered users (like 'Mercury' but not 'Mercury1'). I'll mess around with it and get ready for next time.....which hopefully will be SOON.
gotcha, thanks for the info
Welcome back Marla, I was just about ready to send some flowers, thank God....
Marla don't even tell me I missed you again, AGAIN! You boyz are on REPORT!
BTW, Much love to you girls, say hi to Jana!!
Excuse the Marla hijack, but this article just needs to be on the radar.

SEC takes step to bring swaps into sunlight Agency also seeks to limit conflicts at derivatives intermediariesBy Ronald D. Orol, MarketWatch
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The Securities and Exchange Commission approved Wednesday a rule requiring some derivatives dealers to report any security-based swaps to the agency upon request.
Adoption of the rule, which applies to security-based swaps entered into before July 21, begins the process of bringing a big chunk of the $450 trillion derivatives market under greater regulatory scrutiny. The SEC’s rule is an outgrowth of a measure written into the Dodd-Frank Act, the sweeping bank-reform law.
Based on the rule, which is temporary, banks within a few days will have to begin retaining information about these derivatives transactions and make it available if asked by the SEC. And institutions will have to start automatically reporting information about their swaps — not just when the agency requests it — in coming months, either 60 days after a permanent rule is approved or 60 days after a security-based swap data repository is registered with the agency.
However, the agency is unlikely to approve a final rule for months. It’s unclear when such a repository will be registered with the agency.
Only securities-based swaps, such as cash-settled equity swaps or debt-based derivatives, will be required to be reported.
“This gives the commission a better understanding of the security-based swap market and will inform future rules the agency is considering,” said SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro.
However, Luis Aguilar, a Democratic commissioner, said he worried about the agency’s ability to handle the inflow of information. The rule requires “certain” counter-parties to report information at a future date, he pointed out.
The SEC “lacks the personnel or technology to receive and retain what could be a substantial amount of data,” he said. “These practical challenges should be overcome. We should make a request to Congress so we can put in place a multiyear plan to help us gather data to oversee markets.”
Aguilar added that he would encourage that the SEC staff start gathering this information from financial institutions, as they are permitted to by the rule.
Conflicts of interest and clearinghousesSEC commissioners also voted to introduce a proposal seeking to limit conflicts of interests at clearinghouses — intermediaries between buyers and sellers of swaps.
The proposal would require clearinghouses and derivatives exchanges to adopt ownership and voting limitations as well as other governance provisions. Specifically, the agency proposed limiting the stakes that financial institutions can own in clearinghouses and exchanges.
Clearinghouses are given two governance options to choose from as part of the proposal.
Both options seek to limit clearinghouse participants from having a significant control over the swaps intermediary. With one option, a clearinghouse participant would be prohibited from owning or voting more than 20% of any voting interest in the security-based swap clearing agency.
Also, with one option, 35% of clearinghouse boards must be composed of independent directors with limited or no financial ties to management. Nominating committees on these boards must be composed of a majority of independent directors, as part of the option.
Defending the proposal, Schapiro pointed out that five large commercial banks currently represent 97% of the total U.S. banking industry notional amounts of derivatives outstanding.
“This concentrated market structure creates the potential for conflicts of interests if a similarly small number of firms are able to control the trading and clearing venues for the security-based swaps market,” she said.
The proposal, as characterized by Schapiro, seeks to limit the possibility that derivatives users controlling clearinghouses or exchanges could seek to limit the scope of products available for trading on a clearinghouse, particularly if there is economic incentive to keep the swap traded in the opaque over-the-counter derivatives market.
Split vote on asset-backed securities’ reviewsAlso seeking to fulfill Dodd-Frank requirements, the SEC voted 4-1 to propose a rule that would require financial institutions that issue asset-backed securities to perform a review of the assets underlying the securities, and to disclose information relating to the review.
Further, the commission is seeking that asset-backed security issuers make publicly available the findings and conclusions of any due-diligence report done by third parties on the securities.
Aguilar voted against the measure, arguing that it doesn’t seek to have financial institutions conduct a sufficient level of due diligence. Instead, he said, it would have banks conduct the kind of “cursory review” they already were doing.
“This rule [proposal] is an endorsement of the anything-goes approach of the past,” Aguilar said. “I would like to have a rule that review is done that provides a reasonable assurance that the information is accurate. Financial institutions are performing some level of review, a belief that companies are performing some level of review is not good enough.”
However, Schapiro argued that the SEC, pending approval of its final rule on the subject, may end up with some mandated level of review.
At the end of the day, nothing has been done, nothing is in the sunlight, the Oligarchs still do what they want and are subject to nothing. When it gets dicey they change the laws and fuck the good guys. All while trying to figure out why Johnny the investor and voter has checked out of the insane asylum.
Same shit, different sub-component to the broader problem. Rule of law is no more, laws are meant to protect the house of fraud now. They do what they want and we will like it, or we will be threatened with the mass extinction of life as we know it. Wash rinse and repeat.
Marla, thank you for intruducing me to this track - it's a favorite. ZH, thank you for shining sunlight where nobody else does and may there be millions by my side who do the same...

Submit some contributor copy pal...
The (failed) SEC is another example of failed central government planning. Should the SEC be rewarded with more regulatory authority?
The TBTFs are an extension of central money planning (Fed and issued FRNs as 'legal tender') and central government regulation (moral hazard of FDIC insurance). Focussing on how the SEC regulates the TBTFs is focussing on the symptoms rather than the cause.
Of course, in an more productive environment intranational economies are opened up to competing currencies, including gold and silver. Further, fractional reserve lending is outlawed. In essence, if folks wish their money to be lent in order to earn interest, then they buy bonds. If folks wish to protect their wealth, then they hire a safety deposit box or buy a safe. Citizens can police their own bonds, or hire someone to do this on their behalf. Most importantly, everyone has the freedom to fail.
Exchanges can police themselves. If they do a poor job of policing the publicly traded companies listed on their exchange, then folks are free to boycott this exchange and seek investment elsewhere (exactly like the current environment). Any exchange, for example, that polices against fraud (including such participant reducing activities as HFT) will be rewarded by gaining participants.
DECENTRALIZATION and DEREGULATION are one in the same. Both include reducing the power of central planners in favor of liberty. Both are the optimal solution for a strong foundation for economic prosperity. Niether can be achieved without the other or by halves.
ITS TIME FOR A REVOLUTION.
Welcome back Marla.
it is still funday sunday, i don't think i missed the big bang
zerohedge IS the B I G B A N G.
i have so much to be happy about cause yesterday was

i found me some other gold bitchez and they read zerohedge religiously.
Totally digging the tunes.
hum, you have only been a member for 5 weeks and 5 days, do you really think you have correct liberty to comment on Radio Zero? me thinks not.
now run along and find cheeky for me, b o y.
a member of 1min and 1sec would have all the correct liberty to comment one needs...but the rules are the rules...if its your first night, you have to fight
I want to fight Steak!
My first move: circle, circle, triangle, left, right, up, down, square, up, down

Meanwhile, your right uppercut is at least as devastating as Steak's left cross .. in this arena ;~\
miles nice song, i'm going to try and have both love & gold. you know what i want to make or my new gold man is going to make for me? a gold golf ball marker. put maybe a japanese kanji sign on it. maybe they could be good gifts of something gold to give a man. since they are so reluctant to wear gold jewlry. ;-]
Friendly advice..
Many men are Raiders at heart. Especially those Golden Bears.
Try sterling (not that shiny nickel juiced crap).
It beats the hell outta getting teed off and marked down
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHJ5nA4rFDA
that guy trying to tee off reminds me of that angelo mov ella, don't you think a little. miles, the price of pomegranates are going up so that means inflation. see how much i have learned since becoming a ZH's. 3 bucks for 1.
Wow.
So, in essence a pomegranate equates to a $3 Benbuck. Interesting how the effects of central bank counterfeiting are reflected in both macro & micro imperatives. Economic and otherwise
Thank you for your invaluable assistance kathy.
