    World's largest web domain registrar - godaddy.com - also pulling out of China

    Would it be easier for the US/Europe to find new suppliers of crap in India, Vietnam, Eastern Europe etc, maybe for a few cents more per piece of crap relative to the Chinese price, or would it be easier for China to find a new mass market? Think about it.

    New health-care law will destroy US economy?

    In Western MA 16 primary care docs have shut their practices in the last 3 years. It was an under served area before that happened. Volume in area EDs has exploded. I doubt the extra 10% payment from medicare will do much to incentivize docs to come and work there unless they are coming from...

    New health-care law will destroy US economy?

    I agree, will be stimulative but only because the REAL cost of this bill is likely to be 2-3T over 10 years, not 1T. The fact that the additional 1-2T will come in the form of debt will just add to our problems down the road and unfortunately we won't even get better access nor quality for the...

    China set to abolish 1 child policy

    See my post, you may not be familiar with what goes on outside the big city financial district. I sold my property and haven't been back since 2008 preferring to live in Singapore and Seoul when in Asia so maybe things have changed since then. This documentary gives lie to the article...

    China set to abolish 1 child policy

    As someone who has actually lived in china and owned a villa in Shanghai until not too long ago I can tell you that the one child policy is most definitely still enforced in rural areas by ruthless and corrupt local officials who make a lot of money off the fines. Many parents are too poor to...

    Competition for DeFazio in 2010- is this true?

    This is exactly how people like Boxer stay in power, out of state contributions. Anyone know what the guy's web site is so I can make an online contribution?

    $1 Million Doesn't Cut It for Retirement?

    Even if you own everything free and clear and have no debt and kids all done with college $1M is nowhere near enough if you plan to retire at 65 and never work again. Property taxes run $15K a year where I am. Club membership offers a very nice lifestyle for a retiree but annual dues aren't...

    Another Rogue trader

    If not the Fed I am sure he will be well qualified for the post of treasury secretary of his country after he has completed his PhD in economics (or the study of how to lie while using statistics to get away with it).

    Why would they congratulate you? All you are is a number, and a zero at this point at that :)

    MDVN - Options Insider Makes $40 Million in One Minute.

    You guys are really funny. Don't you realize that the only entity that would have sold that position is one of the option shops. You don't think that they scream bloody murder when they get taken like this? They almost always win these disputes too even when there is no proof of insider dealing...

    Where has all the volume gone?

    They killed the golden goose, or at least stunned it :) Traders need to follow the volatility. Right now the place to be is currencies. I have been a decent macro trader over the years (over $8.7M in gains since 99) but have never been a very good day trader until I started day trading the...
