[11:20] {Threei} Apple Inc Some advertisers have shown interest in the iPad - NYT

[11:20] {Threei} - FedEx has bought advertising space on some iPad applications.

[11:20] {Threei} - FedEx plans to run ads on publisher applications for 90 days after the introduction.

[11:20] {Threei} - Chase Sapphire has bought out the New York Times iPad advertising units for 60 days after the introduction.

[11:20] {Threei} - In terms of pricing, iPad advertisements on print publishers applications cost in the range of $75-300K for a few months exclusivity.

[11:20] {Threei} - Publications such as People and Time are charging flat fees as opposed to pricing based on how many times an ad is shown.

Mar 23 2010

Pretty much repetition of yesterday - profitable day with a long period of inactivity or small discretionary scalps. RCL short was the best trade early in the morning; the rest mostly came out to scalps. Yesterday's forecast about climb up continuing got confirmed for today; DOW 11K is within easy reach now, and seems inevitable.

Session Time: Tue Mar 23 00:00:00 2010

[14:44] {RonS} ...yep, I am contemplating this for my own situation...

[14:46] {RonS} ...may be fait accompli as rates skyrocket. I think the upshot of this will be more uninsured. Then will come toatal takeover, which has always been the plan.

[14:47] {Threei} and the way it's going to be justified will be:

[14:47] {dino} ironically, medicare and medicaid are already going bankrupt, lets add another guanteed loser

[14:48] {Threei} see, we told you capitalism doesn't work in health care, and insurance companies are evil; you resisted so we gave them another chance, now they proved it doesn't work, so we are back to publick option
