The Obama love-in is a massive, media manufactured delusion that will have severe unintended consequences. There have been other mass-delusions in history, and they have almost always ended badly.

lol. Gloating after only 1 day? Your gloating is far too premature. Your arrogance suggests to me you're very young. 1 day or even 1 week doesn't mean anything. I want to know where the market will be in 1 or 2 months. If you are right in 1 or 2 months, I will give you full credit. I'm...

Seriously though, alot of people are seriously addicted to the internet. People would do well to avoid spending to much time on the internet. How many of us have spent 5 hours straight on the web just wasting time? Practically everyone.

Becoming a full time trader after one has been laid off is a recipe for total disaster.

2 to 300 points downside max? We shall see. I will hold you to your words. My prediction is that the Dow has at least another 1000 points more downside, and we could possibly see the S&P at 500. You can quote me on that.

Secret Swiss bank accounts should never have existed to begin with. I'm glad the government is finally going after these tax cheats.

I trade with IB too and wouldn't trade with anyone else. Here in Canada, nobody comes even remotely close to their commission rates, and quality of their TWS platform. They're simply the best. I don't understand these whiners. They trash IB, yet STILL trade with them, obviously because...

Sucker's rally.

What's surprising is the amount of people who DON'T have stock_trad3r on ignore. Put him on ignore and don't waste any more of your time.

Just posting this for those who didn't see it. He truly speaks for so many Americans who are outraged that responsible people now have to pay the mortgages of the irresponsible. http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=1039849853

I highly doubt Obama will stop oilsands. Actually, it would be impossible. The US is going through once in a generation recession (or depression) right now, and to curtail oil imports would cause a skyrocketing of oil prices. The US needs Canadian oil desperately - dirty or not. Canada, not...

I really get the feeling that bond trad3r and stock trad3r are the same person. It seems bond trad3r is frequently defending stock trad3r when no one else is.

That poll just shows how little the average person understands what caused this meltdown. Alan Greenspan is 17th, when he should be 1st by a mile.

I wonder that myself. If that function could be added on ET, it would make the best board on the web even better. I do not want to see ANY posts of anyone I have on ignore.

That article by Mark Cuban is great. Of course, some people do make money in the market consistently, but these people are only the top 95%. You can hate Cuban all you want, but the guy is brilliant, and easily smarter than almost anyone on this board. I think it's wise to listen to at...

Thanks for the insights. It sounds like Canada does indeed have one of the best healthcare systems. However, at $1200 CAD (some estimates are higher) a bed/per night, I have to believe the costs can come down.

Good point. I believe television is the curse of a nation - especially America. TV will not only make you spend more, it will make you fat simply by sitting there for 3 hours, but also by the countless commercials for junk food. Never underestimate those guys on Madison avenue. They're...

UK, France, and Sweden.

I'm guessing you want to play oil with Betapro. I found USO has the best correlation to oil.

These Betapro ETFs are weird. I don't understand this "daily rebalancing". Be careful of them.
