Got it. It looks like the new filesize was OK, but the 620x280 dimensions needed to be extended. I will make that 800x500 for png files. I hope that works.

Well, it didn't cap the file size, but it still treated it as a .jpg file. It added the .jpg extension to it. And as you can see, the charts looks barely readable.

Daron Acemoglu, of MIT, talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the financial crisis and the lessons that need to be learned from the crisis. He argues that economists overestimated the stability of self-interest and ignored the institutional context of financial decision-making. He makes the case for new regulation and worries that political decisions will neglect the importance of growth.

Interesting listen.
 
[FONT=Palatino, Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]U.S. Federal obligations exceed world GDP

[/FONT]As the Obama administration pushes through Congress its $800 billion deficit-spending economic stimulus plan, the American public is largely unaware that the true deficit of the federal government already is measured in trillions of dollars, and in fact its $65.5 trillion in total obligations exceeds the gross domestic product of the world.

Yeah, thanks Bush, we are so far in a hole all we can do is dig further cause no sign of more money coming in anywhere.
:mad: And don't say Tax cut, that means less revenue and a bigger hole, and cutting government will be a pittance even if we all went home for a couple years and didn't keep up the military, and somehow taxes got collected by magic, and food safety was fine. Hello, anything before 3 weeks ago is not on this watch, and theres no way to make $65.5 trillion in debt disappear in that amount of time.

The stimulus package IS on this watch. As will be any upcoming spending on Afganistan and Iraq, unfortunately it will be wellnigh impossible not to do another off-budget special on that since there's never been any money for it, and even if you're patriotic War bonds are no longer an option for most people in this economy. Oh, and yes, all those cuts in food safety workers, consumer safety, FBI agents, FEMA completely feeble, and well Homeland Security can't even get furniture on its budget, snuck it in the House stimulus package (I hope it's out of there, its NOT stimulus unless they buy everything from North Carolina or somewhere similar - and even then it's NOT going to help the infrastructure so it still doesn't belong).

They look just like the originals. And also, they're only around 30K. That's 1/3 the size of jpegs that I normally use. That should make the message board more efficient.:D

If anybody is interested in how to post charts and have them look like the originals, I'll be more than happy to post instructions.
 
I don't know, but this sounds like bearish news for the market.

Ireland ‘could default on debt’

From The Sunday Times
February 15, 2009

Iain Dey

FEARS are mounting that Ireland could default on its soaring national debt pile, amid continuing worries about its troubled banking sector.

The cost of buying insurance against Irish government bonds rose to record highs on Friday, having almost tripled in a week. Debt-market investors now rank Ireland as the most troubled economy in Europe.
Simon Johnson, the former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, called for this weekend’s meeting of G7 finance ministers to put Ireland’s troubles at the top of the agenda.

Johnson said: “Don’t, please, tell me more about the basic principles of financial reform unless and until you have addressed the Irish problem. And don’t tell me the Irish have to sort this out for themselves. Eventually, the world always comes to help; check your notes on Iceland.

“It’s much better and much cheaper to come in early and decisively. We need a plan of action for Ireland, and we need it now.”

Pledges made by Ireland to support its banking sector amount to 220% of the country’s annual economic output. The total loans held in Irish banks are more than 11 times the size of the economy.

Following the scandal at Anglo Irish Bank over undisclosed loans, the market fears there are more hidden problems that could ultimately fall to the state to resolve.

With Ireland set to borrow an additional €15 billion (£13.4 billion) this year, the national debt pile will hit €70 billion.
The cost of insuring Irish debt hit 350 basis points on Friday, meaning that for every £100 of debt it would cost £3.50 to insure against default. A year ago it would have cost 10p to insure every £100 of Irish debt.
One possible solution would see Germany buy billions of euros of Irish government debt through a fund set up by the European Central Bank.
