Photos of Apparent Suicide at Occupy San Diego (warning: graphic)
"That's the difference between an accident or a suicide." Except you were comparing a suicide to a "push", or homocide, not an accident.— October 12, 2011 7:50 a.m.

Not that I don't trust you Jeff, but citation please.— October 12, 2011 7:48 a.m.

If the economy were to recover briskly, and lending were to pick up, inflation would zoom through the roof. == Food and energy prices have gone through the roof the last 6 months. I would argue inflation is sky high right now if you include those two huge factors, which are NOT calculated into the inflation index.— October 11, 2011 11:59 p.m.

For what it's worth, the Fed will accept as collateral paper of varying maturities, notes, bonds, bills, debentures, subordinated debentures, acceptances, mortgages, loans, discounted instruments, some preferred stocks, and about 100 other instruments. It's still just collateral, nothing more.— October 11, 2011 8:14 p.m.

Hey where did jeff run off to -I NEED those numbers!!! Oh, and Jeff, since you're already looking up the prime rate for July 23, 220 BC, could you also give me the LIBOR rate for the following year. Thanks. Your buddy, Surfpuppy619.— October 11, 2011 8:13 p.m.

Yeah, because we KNOW that no one can JUMP away from a building further than being pushed. Great logic there Maxie.— October 11, 2011 4:27 p.m.

I know chapter and verse the world wide interest rates from 3200BC through today, plus the price of grains, the value of money etc. Bet you never knew there were records of all that in 3200BC. == What was the prime interest rate July 23, 220 BC? And I need the ask price for a bushel (it is a bushel isn't it?) of wheat on January 26, 105 AD.— October 11, 2011 3:33 p.m.
Who caused San Diego's massive power failure September 8?
The Occupy Wall Street people have many legitimate complaints, and I am with them. == Occupy Wall Street and the Tea party are two sides of the same coin, they are both SICK AND TIRED of Wall Street bail outs. That is saying something, a fiscal conservative group and a liberal group essentially protesting on the same issue-bailouts of Wall Street ....while everyone else is in the toilet.— October 11, 2011 3:28 p.m.

You say...giving away, I see collateralized transactions == They're collateralized-SO WHAT? They are still getting a 0% interest rate. The gov may or may not be at risk depending on the collateral, but the fact remains they are getting deals no one else in America, in the world, is getting. All the bank have to do is lend that money right back to the US gov via a T-bill and they collect the spread.— October 11, 2011 3:25 p.m.

you will also notice that the Fed demands collateral for using the discount window in most cases, so even a 0% rate would have a real interest rate after the collateral was figured in == If they are using their own assets as collateral, such as buildings, it would not cost them anything. I have no idea what their "collateral" consists of and if it actually costs the bansk money-if it doesn't then the real interest rate IS 0%.— October 11, 2011 3:20 p.m.
