    I'm voting for McCain

    He could change his mind about the proposed taxes. Remember in the New Hampshire ABC Presidential Primary Debates when Obama stated clearly he'd tax households with incomes over $150k an extra 5%?

    I'm voting for McCain

    Same here. After Ron Paul dropped out, I switched to McCain, who's the lesser of the remaining evils. Aside from the Iraq war, I actually like his stance on energy policy and he's been condemning government bailouts of investment banks and mortgage giants, too.

    Trading is Bad for your Mental Health

    Trading helped me become less emotional and calmer. I often have to fake emotion in social situations. Becoming calmer can also give people the impression you're apathetic. Do you ever wish you could recover the emotions you lost once you embarked on this fun path?

    BMW and Mercedes Buyers See a Ford in their Future (Bloomberg)

    I know multimillionaires who drive Toyota Camrys, Corollas, or Mercedes Benz's that are several years old, and like another poster said, do not care what others think. If you are building wealth, you try to save and grow your money. Throwing so much money into a depreciating asset like a...

    Soon Honda Civics and Corollas will only be for the rich

    Amen, TraderZones! I wholeheartedly agree with you. My family proudly owns three old Toyota Corollas ('98, '01, and '02) even though we could afford far nicer cars. Reliability and fuel efficiency are at the top of my priority list. The money we save driving 4-cylinder Hondas and Toyotas is...

    rice producer stocks?
