    How much taxes automakers typically pay in a year?

    Why don't you do the research and then post the answer instead of posting this worthless thread. Start at www.sec.gov. Check their 10-Ks and report back!

    Your gift: MLP

    I appreciate the analysis and it sounds like a good play but, I have a feeling you secretly want to be living on that beach in Maui instead of just buying shares of MLP! :cool:

    Could buffet blow up?

    Man, with the 10 Billion he spent on GE and GS he could buy half the retail sector and their real estate by next year. Forget snowball, he got snowed. Plus I believe those investments were preferred stock; junior to debt in liquidation.

    Holy Xlf Batman!!

    It did and I wish I bought another thousand shares. Could have sold out last week up nearly 100%. This thing has really tumbled this year. It has its risks (also no options) but its decently diversified, they sell calls on their positions and buy index puts. I think its as good a place to be as...

    Holy Xlf Batman!!

    If you like XLF, have a look at IGD. Same thing, mostly financials with some energy and utilities thrown in. Paying a monthly 20%+ yield and trading at 8.xx at a 25% discount to NAV. See here: http://www.ingfunds.com/investor/content/closed_end/profile/overview.aspx?f=128&fsc=345

    This was a great call. One question, how did you choose 970 as the resistance?

    Panic on the way up?

    I think he means that for every pop, people will pile in thinking they are missing the rally. So they will panic that they are not in the rally, buy willy nilly and send the market higher.

    Oil stocks also shit the bed on the close. XOM hit a high of just under $71 before 2PM and ended around $66. At least $2 down in the last 5 minutes. CVX also broke down hard.

    JPMorgan Wamu Deal

    Madness on Pennsylvania Avenue

    Are you freaking kidding me? that is ridiculous. I guess Paulson is genuinely worried that his friend's may not get bailed out. Paulson and Bernanke must have thought this would be a cake walk; come in, scare up congress, get the money, go back to NY. Really a sad commentary of our current...

    My Alternative Plan to the $700B Bailout Plan

    I like your more hardline attitude toward this. #6 I would love to see this but most of that money is probably tied up in assets such as greenwich and hamptons houses. #8 & 9 by codifying limits on credit terms you restrict free enterprise in the lending market. Banking will become...
