No, no, no. We need the camps to teach ordinary people how to drive safely, basic finance, diet, citizenship, courtesy, etc. We must preserve the gangs as they are, because we will need them to restore order after the chaos is fully underway.

I'm gonna ride the dinosaur in Sarah Palin's theme park. YEE-HAW!!!

I've had Tums on ignore for ages. What's the problem?

Paulson's batting .000 so far. If not, then why this latest "rescue." What everyone needs, minimally, is an interest rate hedge. Short treasuries after the FED's first rate increase (it will happen, eventually, Iraq war debt -- let alone this latest scheme -- guarantees it). Cover when they...

Well, if I've been conditioned to look at things from more than one point of view, I am certainly happy that it happened! It's a valuable thing, financially valuable for a trader. If everyone were conditioned like that, they could consider themselves somewhat educated.

especially when MAD comes out. I am not so sure they like girls. They even have MADa in their "method!"

Capital is more important than any "edge." Sometimes I think that only losers tout their "edges."

A broken clock is right twice a day. Cramer's audience has a short attention span, so he says the same thing over and over. You've got to understand Cramer's audience! Shame on you, if you believe him. One day he will be right ... but is today that day? ??????

Well, if it "works," are you sure you're using JH method? It is so ambiguous and subjective that any "practitioner" of the "method" would be lying if they claimed they were using JH method. No one knows what JH method is! Sure, they think they know, but the evidence is in and is this: the...

I agree. My first day daytrading was on a broker's web page. I could get one real time quote by typing MSFT into a box. So, I did that over and over, as fast as I could. After awhile I saw that it was moving up and down by 25 cents +/i a few. I started long 1000 shares and sold when there was...

How much was the loss? 15 -- FIFTEEN -- billion. Couldn't you start a car company for that? Management is the problem at GM.

The way these work is you give each sucker different picks. Some of them will be good. The ones with the good picks will be raving about how the sevice made them money ... more sign up. All you need to do is pick a few winners each week ... easy to do if a lot of people ask for picks and you...

B-b-b-but payday loans generate high interest income. Just show a bank your business plan, borrow at X% from the bank and loan at X+ginormous%. Huge Profit!

Hmmm. Self-employment tax. If you're employed anywhere you pay 1/2 the self-employment tax, so self-employment tax amounts to the employer's half, about 7.5%. Even if employed somewhere by an "employer," that employer's half comes out of your pocket. It could be that you pay self-employment...

payday loans and pawnshops! The next bubble!

This money won't get used a lot. The current lender has to take a haircut from current market price. The buyer has to pay 1.5% insurance premium, per year! Let's see 1.5% of 200K median price is $3000/year, almost $300 per month! Buyer has to qaulify for the fixed loan (my understanding is that...

To the OP: To have patience you need to have some cash. Check your trades. Especially the ones you exited because they were losers and were tying up your trading capital. Check them out! Most of them -- if you're not an absolute fool -- probably would have made money if you had had some...

Master Jack! I never thought I'd hear it. You have outdone every SCT adherent.

Almighty Jack? What was your sin?
