Yeah, I am on board with this too.

Hey, how come Occupy Wall Street isn’t knocking on Big Labor’s doors? Unionized labor is why states like Illinois, New Jersey, New York, California and Rhode Island are broke.

Eggs and cholesterol.

CFTC has votes to pass position limits. It may or may not hurt exchanges ($CME, $ICE, $NYX) in the short run. In the long run it does because as the industry expands, positions held by traders will expand.

If you like roller coasters, the rest of the year might be your kind of trade.

It didn’t take the OWS crowd long to protest in front of the wealthiest New Yorkers. Why? Because there aren’t as many of them as there used to be.

Halloween is coming. Here is how to go as Wednesday
