    Retiree Ponzi Scheme $16 Trillion Short: Laurence Kotlikoff

    I'm pretty sure most americans wouldn't agree to a mandatory 8% retirement savings- especially hourly workers, and those with lots of debt. I'm not talkinga bout the validity of your idea, but this simply would never get the popular vote.

    Wow, everything is so cut and dry for you, isn't it? You're either For the entire bill or Against it. Republicans are against it, and they're protecting the American people.

    Retiree Ponzi Scheme $16 Trillion Short: Laurence Kotlikoff

    Free Thinker, as you know, you're in the company of many people who disagree with you. It seems like you just want to be hostile, and the solutions you provide are not well thought out and they bring harm to others. While you may find it appropriate for the "wealthy" to have 6% of their...

    Retiree Ponzi Scheme $16 Trillion Short: Laurence Kotlikoff

    Freethinker- I'm ok wiht you being a free thinker and having a liberal view- but what I dislike is that you're hostile about expressing your views. The truth is that there are a lot of people that want to bomb every major city in the U.S.- and I'm glad that that does not happen. While some...

    I think $40/share is a fair price for this one as long as things don't get too drastic from a macro standpoint. I can't see it going far below 33-34, this area might be a good place to go long- but it also may not get that low.

    What do you do if you're a director of a huge company with plenty of cash that you can't invest well? Distribute a dividend/return of capital to shareholders? Hell no! We overpay for an acquisition that makes the company bigger, yet less profitable! So in a year we can justify our 30%...

    put/call selling seem to make sense so far as of now.

    Noob, there's a big difference between covered option writing and uncovered. I guarantee there's at least one person that sold naked calls on POT and is now waking up from a 2 day drunken stupor, looking in the yellow pages for a lawyer. Just be careful when you think in absolutes. There...

    american students don't know the basics

    no. But what's important is that we do not challenge or encourage our more intelligent students, because that would hurt the dummies' feelings. No child left behind = whole country left behind.

    put/call selling seem to make sense so far as of now.

    it's always a great time to sell options- until it isn't. That's when you lose your shirt. I like selling options, but you always have to be careful, and aware of your leverage.

    Obama asking Bank Execs for advice?

    The government was a major player in the policy that allowed the housing bubble to happen. It began during the Clinton years talking about how every American deserved the right to own a home. Bad credit? No money down? Well we're the government- we'll just guarantee all the mortgages... And...
