    America is a country which punishes the middle-class

    And can you blame these people? We all read the news stories about the CEOs doing God's work, and the politicoes trying to do the same, while they're all lining their pockets, at the expense of, mostly, the disappearing middle class... Gonna end? Never, looking at the Federal government...

    Record Low 30 Year Mortgage Rates!!! This is getting to be a joke.

    Change what? Social Security & Medicare? Public employees pensions & benefits? Why haven't they (rep's and dem's) come up with solutions already...They could start out by suggesting a 10-20% pay and benefit cut for all of congress... Tea Party politicians? Maybe they're the answer...But...

    Are Teachers Unions To Blame For Failing Schools?

    need help with EWZ

    I rarely trade options, because I don't feel comfortable with the time decay...Cannot help you with any option specific info, but would like to comment on what I see in the EWZ chart... Since you're losing such a large size of your portfolio, sounds to me you're trading way above your risk...

    Stock Tax May Reduce Volume 90%, Interactive Brokers CEO Says

    Got an email from Sen. Schumer on Jan 20, 2010, stating he's AGAINST this tax. Treasury Sec. Geithner has also voiced his opposition. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail! Have any of you contacted your senator/congressman? And what was the reply?
