lol. Could be. One never knows. Hope not. :-)

I agree. This is a clear sign that accumulation has begun. It is clear that the Feds have decided to backstop all large financial institutions and their debts, to whatever limits that are required. It is also clear that they are developing fiscal and monetary policies to help homeowners rollover...

I will definitely keep you up to date. I have no ego interest here. I have made enough money in my life. Actually, the only reason I got involved with the market again, was to help out my ex. You can be assured, that I am at this point positive, and I am buying on all dips that lower my...

That's the whole point. No one knows. My hypothesis is that massive government spending (which is almost assured) of hundreds of billions of dollars, very loose Federal monetary policy, together with oil savings (estimated at $300 billion/year compared to the highs of this year), plus all of the...

O.K.

Are you saying that you are positive that I am not positive as of today based upon my trades since Oct. 10th? And if I am not, I am a bullshitter? Because, I am willing to bet on it, if you are willing to back up your words.

Fine. Call me whatever you want. :-) Do you really think I care whether the money I make is in a bank or in my brokerage firm. You have a very weird idea of profits. However, by the end of next year, we will compare notes and we will see who made more money. OK? :-)

I said I was accumulating and I meant it. Profits are paper profits, but seriously all profits are paper profits until one dies - unless there is no investing going on at all. I do not double up on each dip. I buy leveraged ETFs more on major lows than at highs. I keep bringing down my break...

I watched the market today. The shorts tried to panic, but at opening they were trampled by the Bulls. I mean totally destroyed. As the day wore on, the Bulls feasted on their days winnings, and the Bears were left with very little exit other than some losses. The Bears can try it again next...

lol. Regulation was in place until Bush got into office and neutered ever regulatory body including the SEC. How did he do it? Simple, he put dimwits like himself in charge of the offices (e.g. the Katrina disastor). Thanks for the deregulation guys. Worked so well, we should do it again -...

On the contrary, commonsense, is you don't loan money to people with no documentation, no income, and no skin the the game. All of this was thrown aside by the last administration (the first time since the Great Depression). And guess what happened. We had the first Great Recession, since the...

The moment someone entrusts their money to someone else (e.g. bank, brokerage, whatever ..), there needs to be regulations and laws. If anyone doubts this, just read a little history of what happened in the past when there weren't regulations, e.g. bank reserves, bank insurance, etc. You get...

lol. :) Go read some history books and learn while banks are regulated. I don't know where you went to school, but you may want to revisit some of your history courses. Just a suggestion.

I agree with your analysis. I am not that concerned about individual appointments, since the team has so much depth and so many checks and balances, no one person will dominate. This is like the N.Y. Yankee team of the early 1960s. Mega stars, plenty of bench, and hopefully they all act as a...

Please, just do this, instead of bothering me. I really didn't realize who I got into a discussion with. 1) Go to Google.com 2) Type in: deregulation, bush administration You will find about 617,000 entries. These entries constitute my response to you. Now, this is very important, so...

This is so silly. Read a book or a newspaper. Better yet, just google deregulation under Reagen, Clinton, Bush. The WHOLE agenda of the Republicans was deregulation! Why oh why did I ever begin a discussion with a bunch of DittoHeads? I should have known better. BTW, do you think Palin is...

YOU DON'T GET IT! When you have a so called Free Market, this is exactly what you get. A bunch of snake oil salesman grabbing money in all kinds of Ponzi schemes. That is why you have government regulation. lol. You are really dense. You and your illusionary, free market, utiopian world. You...

He thrived, like almost everyone else did, because the Feds did their job and kept things under control. But, slowly but surely, the Republicans stripped all oversight in the banking and investment industry (starting with the repeal of Glass Steagall), and then Free Market had no restraints...

I agree. There is a zero chance that GM will go bankrupt (actually -10 chance). It is a question of gamesmanship. The union has to be forced to the table and the only way is if the Republicans play hardball. The Democrats can not (will not). I can't believe that it always has to come down to...

Seem like you have to educate yourself on history and see how we got hear. You are like a kid who keeps jumping into a pool of mud. You just don't learn - and you know nothing about history and the ramifications of silly, naive ideas such as Free Markets - or do you believe we shouldn't have any...
