i would not be shocked to see it go up and i would not be shocked to see monday be down double today either.

the market has been a joke for years. i would not be shocked to see 700 down on s&p or 200 up from here. there was no reason for it to go 30% last year that's why it probably went up. there is no profit growth in sales its based on someone deciding stocks will now trade at higher multiplies. if...

i think salaries and pensions can get crazy. you read stories about people doing nothing jobs but getting paid big and getting 6 figure pensions too. i agree with the judge but its also not right it got this far. this is the game the governments play and only the rich benefit. you have people...

i have looked at gold but don't know much about it. i don't see any investment i can make 3.5% for 2 years with no real risk of losing principle do you?

should gold be worth more with all the printing of money? yes. should the stock market be so high with no economic improvement or sales revenue growth? no. is it all manipulated by governments? if yes maybe you have trading around the current policies more than pure manipulation.

you need to own a bunch of properties to control a bad month at one property. when you own enough properties overtime basic maintenance cost is quite low. there are a lot of individuals who are self employed and only charge hourly labor cost its not like a contractor walking in your home...

i come from a family who is rich from owning rental properties. they collect money monthly but you need to own a bunch for it to work right. i know many people who are millionaires because of equality in rental homes they bought 20 years ago. i only said that was my best choice out of all...

the best for a 20 year play is real estate. you buy homes and rent them out. you make a little money on each home every month than sell it in 20 years and make a killing.

i did not even noticed labor cost rising much but i have not looked at the data lately. i kind of felt companies are still able to keep cost down because it seems like there is always someone a little older making 90k at least who can be replaced with some young person for half the price. when a...

i just can't buy at all here. i agree the market is going up but i fear waking up one day with a 10% gap down. i respect anymore smart enough to close there eyes 12 months ago and buy. i am very jealous of the returns they made while i held cash. i can't separate my feelings that the economy /...

i think you saw that drop when QE2 ended that June. than you saw the bottom made when the fed started Operation Twist in September of that year. the fed limited your options like no interest in bank accounts, cd, bonds, and we have a lot of stock buy back programs. where else can you go and...

can you use the full word not BM please? what would you think a few large financial institutions can't control a market? you have buy back programs so less float . you have banks who are major financial institutions voting some members to the fed board. they have the best idea of what is going...

i think there will be pain before the healing. i do think the fed did the right thing to start but got to cocky with QE 2 and 3. the flaw is not that the fed can't print new jobs. its the idea that they are unwilling to see companies do whats best for top executives and share owners only not the...

they control the market period but i agree they love hunting fresh blood. how many times has the stock market broke below a support number to than just run up 5% in a few days this year. aka the bear trap
