that is to stop the .308 rounds when the natives get restless.
So, that's where the gold is. Hidden in plain sight!
New York is one tuff f*cking city.
do tuff guys put "*" in their profanities?
Finally got my USDJPY short to come in. Still rolling. Looks like to at least 78.85. They only added 11T yen to the asset purchase program, instead of the 20T that Parliament wanted.
The European session should be one for the bank.
Best of luck trading, Chump!
:D
.........so tough that they have to go outside for a cigarette and cant even order a soft drink over 16 oz under penalty of Fuhrer Bloomberg sticking the long arm of the law up their asses. LOL
Real tough, guys.
The great stimulus storm according to Krugman.
I didn't realize that media hype could be so destructive.
What the hell happened on the Nikkei? Bank of Japan announces even more easing, and the Nikkei flash crashes 150 points into the close??
It was expected that the BoJ was going to add another 20T yen to their asset purchase program (which was also priced in...). Instead, they "only" added 11T yen. They were disappointed.
:/

Sell EURUSD to 1.284 and watch for another "Miracle Mouth" to ramp it back.
Holy smokes! Did you catch the ramp on the EURUSD? Pump, pump it up. Got to keep it pumpin'.
These boys are scared. Real scared. It may not be very long before they lose control.
Be wary. Be keen. Keep your eyes on the prize.
Illiquidity in equities punching holes in fx?
Becoming unglued.
That's my take, too. This US equity market closure has the big boyz more rattled than I thought. They're starting to get nervous.
Europe will be flying blind for another session.
A virtual basket case on the stick.
They'll probably follow the playbook strictly: sell it off all session then ramp it into the close.
Euro ramp will be seen as bullish and will help to levitate ES. SSDD.
WTF...not a huge move but straight up. So tired of this shit. I wish they would let the market correct FFS.
do u eat any mushrooms in NJ?
falak, did you know that New Jersey is called the Garden State and is actually one of the prettiest states in the country? Rolling hills, trees forever and very fertile land. Here are some statistics:
New Jersey is a leading producer of fresh fruits and vegetables. Its total farm income was $821 million in 2001. In 2000, New Jersey ranked 3rd in the US in the production of escarole/endive. In 2002, it ranked 3rd in cranberries, 6th in lettuce, 7th in fresh market tomatoes, and 14th overall in fresh market vegetables.
Some 820,000 acres (about 332,000 hectares) were in 9,600 farms in 2002. The major farm counties are: Warren for grain and milk production, Gloucester and Cumberland for fruits and vegetables, Atlantic for blueberries, Burlington for nursery production and berries, Salem for processing vegetables, and Monmouth for nursery and equine.
In 2002, New Jersey produced 290,700 tons of fresh market vegetables. Leading crops (in hundredweight units) were: bell peppers, 962,000; cabbage, 624,000; sweet corn, 791,000; tomatoes, 759,000; and head lettuce, 150,000. New Jersey farmers also produced 56,340 tons of vegetables for processing. Fruit crops in 2002 (in pound units) included apples, 35,000,000, and peaches, 62,000,000. In 2002, cranberry and strawberry production were 43 million and 1.8 million pounds respectively. The expansion of housing and industry has increased the value of farm acreage and buildings in New Jersey to over $8,000 per acre, the highest in the nation.
You can't grow all that stuff on concrete.
Here is the town I used to live in: http://www.visitnj.org/clinton
New Jersey gets a bad rap because of mob ties and the inner city idiots like Snookie. If you've never been there, you should visit...just stay west of Somerset County and you'll see what I mean.
:D
Clifton used to be great. Hope it still is.
Looks like New New Delhi. But that's okay.
Better call off central governments!!
States can handle this themselves!!!!!
Need an Agency and Czar created to handle this. Yeap and endless Red fucking tape. Watch this crap . Just waiting.
NYU evacuated the hospital.

Backup generators not ready. The administrators need to be fired.
Everything about the NY power market is FUBAR. I would bet they used their backup gen to bid into that terribly constructed capacity market.
That's less than 20% of their customers. Honestly, Nor'easters are worse than this in terms of power outages. I realize it isn't over yet. It looks like this is going to be storm surge and flooding event from rain if this thing slows down.
Black out means off beat race baby explosion .... future Democrat voters !
http://www.disclose.tv/action/viewvideo/114650/Hurricane_Sandy__HAARP__Super_Storm_Creation__To_Get_Obama_Reelected/
15,000 Boeing 747 cargo plane drones with pressurized chem tanks in their cargo holds converged in the eye of Sandy before it reached Santiago, Cuba and simultaneously exploded to give new life to hurricane system ? Later, off the Carolina coast, 5,000 C135 Chemical Sprayers raked and guided the storm to effect maximum damage on Obamas re-election ? I woke up to realize I had been dreaming .... and had wet the bed !
Don't the winds have to stay above 75 mph for the storm to be called a hurricane .... oh, it was a "Super Storm" with tidal surge .... that explains everything ?
Welcome to Manhattan in Bengladesh!
I propose we send you a Concorde load of hot croissants from France.
PS : these are awesome photos of urban desolation. Second Concorde on the way!
AT LEAST 16 DEAD, 7.5 MILLION WITHOUT POWER — Here's What Hurricane Sandy's Destruction Looks Like [Photos] - Business Insider
Falak, Baby ! 67 seconds of silence for the dead Haitians ! Haiti was a French slave colony .... can you get a fresh croissant, marmalade, unsalted butter and a cafe au lait (sp?) in Port au Prince ? No ! Beans, bananas and dirty rice ? Yes !
Wishing good karma and sending prayers to NYC.
Not as bad as Hugo, but still bad.
Everyone take a national guardsman home as they do not let you protect yourself.
Hoping looters get what's coming to them.
LC
New Yorkers can move to Kyber Pass or Move to China and work for Foxconn and get fed.
Karma ? What would it cost to give every Haitian a new Karmann Ghia convertible ? Less than giving fuel rods to North Korea !
Watch the Insurance debacle starting soon. Yeap Amerika will keep yakking away to endless debates and fuck the people. Welcome to Amerika, prefer to tweet and fuck IPHONES and Bullshit rather than do anything.
Just want to know if the Apple Store is ok? Just sayin nothing else matters. Make sure Apple store is up and running.
Do you insurance with world class North Korean insurance companies ?
Should do now before the claims start.
Which Chains Are Staying Open in Sandy's Face?
http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-10-29/which-chains-are-staying...
What MCD not open? WTF. Call MCD HQ and tell them their franchises are pussies.
Mc Donalds has done more for America than Barack Obama ! He looks soooo "presidential" in the Weather Channel Situation Room .... groveling for attention .... kind of like Al Gore .... where do we get these geeks ?
The notion that everyone North of the Tapan-Zee (that's "upstate" to you city rats), and the whole rest of the country (nay, world), doesn't give a flying fuck about the status of your bilge pumps never once crossed anyone's mind, did it?
Hellatial floods annualy on the Indian Sub-continent, nobody gives 2 shits. Western-Asia suffers this weekly... You get one fucking rain-storm and think it's a national event....
Pussy's.
+1
Amerikan Pussification will reveal itself shortly. Stay tuned.
I wonder how many fat fucks and snotty a holes and bitchezz will so anything in NY?
Yeah for every dollar in foreign aid we get back ten in new business opportunities ? I propose a moratorium on foreign aid until we balance the budget .... and cram "ALL GOVERNMENT" into a 10% of GNP Pandora's Box on the deck of the Good Ship Barney Frank's Flesh Lollipop !
Water up. /ES up. Of course!
Lots of bad news...
- Brooklyn Fire/PD dispatch: Coast Guard reports HUNDREDS of people int he water at Ralph and ave L building on fire
- The worst flooding and fires are in south Brooklyn. They have called out multiple alarms and nobody can get to the scenes.
- Update: Levee break floods the New Jersey towns of Moonachie, Little Ferry and Carlstadt with 4 to 5 feet of water, say officials
- Bergen County, New Jersey emergency officials: 75% of town affected after dam broke
Maybe Wall Street can burn to the ground... that would be nice. If some good people can start a fire on Wall Street... do it... the firemen can't get to it... so it will burn to the ground before they can get to it...
The stupidest thing I've heard on TV all day : this is the beginning of the fiscal year so lots of money are available for disaster relief... OH REALLY??
Broken window fallacy propagated by Krugman in 3, 2, 1... Sandy is Bullish!!!
HAARP the herald angels sing...
Oh, wait, is it too early? OK, I'll put away the tinfoil hat...
Don't worry NY - your hospitals have no power (but Goldman Schas does)....and ConEd made sure that the NYSE will get power before lower Manhattan.
This country is so fucked.
