    Very interesting Glenn Beck segment

    That's because the gvt borrows the SS surplus and promises to pay it back later. That is not reflected in the 162B official number. Just like you and me borrowing from our kid's college account in order to buy groceries. Not very smart. Ah, also the war is on a different set of books as...

    The stupid and irresponsible "home owners" bail out is happaning

    Because in the US it is the middle/lower class that must get the shaft while the executives get multi-million dollar bonuses and the chance to eject with golden parachutes just before the shit hits the fan. Get with the program buddy! :)

    Why to short the Canadian Dollar

    I think it would be smart for all Canadians to buy cheap US$ assets, with their oil profits. Especially if the US$ and real estate cratters even more in the next few years.

    Best Series 7 materials?

    I got the full Dearborn set brand new from Ebay for about 100$ and got 93% on the exam. That was back in '04

    Computer guru? help needed, question on files

    Over the long term, have a designated server with a database such as Oracle and save your image files as binary data in the database. Alternatively use a directory structure similar to the one suggested by the previous poster but zip each day's/week's pictures into one .ZIP file and remove...

    * * * Strategy* * *

    It's not a simple answer. I would use OpenTick for their free tick data. Then I would write a program (C# would be my preferred, but you could use Excel, I suppose) that analyzes correlation between different instruments. For example Bonds & ER2 etc... Or you could check some of the...

    Democrats are fking stupid

    Democrats and Republicans will feel whatever their lobbyist buddies tell them to feel. There is nothing more spineless and slimmy than a politician, in my humble opinion. I do know that when they are fighting each other they are not emptying the public coffers, for their own personnal...

    Democrats are fking stupid

    That article is made up and 100% BS. Pelosi never said anything like that. As AvidConsumber above, rightly pointed out.

    Houses cheaper than cars in depressed Detroit

    The secret is to buy when the area is in transition and prices are starting to go up. Look for money pouring in and cranes that are actually on the ground, moving dirt. Not just city plans and other BS that could be postponed for 20 years. Even if you have to pay 45k for something that sold...

    POLL: Did the Hybrid System cause that huge DOW down tick?

    There were prints all over the place. Like finding money on the ground, again, and again, and again. An automated system would have killed if it was enveloping the inside quote. Check EWH for a good example.

    Suze Orman is Coming Out

    I don't really care what she does, my fav. financial 'guru' has always been Dave Ramsey. Simple advice. Get an emergency fund, cut your credit cards, save, enjoy life. Duh.

    Anybody own a house?

    They need to understand that rent is their first priority. Yes, even before cigarettes and booze.
