The Fed has refused to make public who and how much they payed out to banks and other financial institutions around the world. Billions did get funneled to foreign banks through the bailout of AIG.

The ruling class successfully extracted trillions from us to shore up themselves. TARP was about keeping bankers in their houses in the Hamptons.

Currently use Snider Method will great success. Very happy and can recommend it.

Don't think I would use Financial Engines, I wouldn't want to give up control.

Can't comment on 401(k) Maximizer.

I will say that the Snider Method was the starting point for me to become educated in the greater market and I now trade many option strategies. However, in my view, the Snider Method is the best option that we currently have given the limitations placed on our 401(k) and DC Plans by the Company.
I've had a lot of success with Snider Method & would definitely recommend it.

Anyone listen to Jim Graham on the 411 podcast? He mentioned that Delta should have a decision on airplane orders sometime in 3rd quarter for deliveries beginning in 2013. My question is what is available in 2013? Apparently C-Series orders are backed up until 2016. I don't know about Airbus or Boeing, but I think they are backed up as well. Also, are these replacement aircraft or for growth? Just wondering if anyone has any insight.

Are you hitting the 12% annual mark every year? Haven't heard anybody bad mouth this method but it does sound like you have to be very actively involved.

I'm sure that all the aircraft Delta might purchase (with the exception of the 320neo, since it will still be in development then) will be available in 2013.

There are only 90 C-Series on order - with 20 of them being from a leasing company. I'd guess that at least some of those would be available to Delta if they wanted them. Usually manufactuers will move orders around to accommodate a customer, especially a blue-chip one like Delta.

As for Boeing, Delta only needs to give them 18 months notice to get an airplane, no need to stand in line. I'm sure Airbus would "help a brother out" too and get us some new Airbuses if we wanted some.

No $^it Sherlock. Do you think there is any tie in with the guys comments and the apparent siege on public sector unions at the state level by republicans? Do you think we are not that kind of labor and they view us any differently?
