Yes, people need to read the "Change in Terms" carefully as it might simply be warning you of what the DEFAULT RATE gets increased to, and NOT an actual change to your particular account.

Not necessarily true. You are given the option of "closing" the account and paying your current interest rate on the balance. If Capital One pulls this on a good customer that has always paid on time and not exceeded their credit limit, and they have a rather high balance on the account, I...

I could go on and on about taxation in California, but why you seem to think that taxation is the basis for making the claim about SOCIALISM is absolutely beyond me. Don't all states in the union require some sort of taxation? Aren't a majority of states RAISING TAXES in order to make up...

Congratulations Cesko. You are even more dense than I first thought. Your lack of reading comprehension is absolutely staggering. The point is that Consumer Spending has been running at two-thirds of GDP, and not surprisingly consumer credit card debt has risen right along with it. The...

It's pretty simple really. 2/3rds of our Nation's GDP comes from the Consumer. The consumer is done for quite awhile given that he increased his consumer debt from $7 Trillion in 2000 to $14 Trillion in 2008 even though wages were flat. Add that to the fact the consumer is suffering from...

Let's face it, he has no idea what he's talking about - - - as evidenced by referencing and lumping Federal taxes in with California's so-called "high taxes". Everyone pays federal taxes. If that isn't twisted "logic" I don't know what is. By the way, one of the reasons that the California...

You've got to be kidding.

You mean you fell for all of that "fear-mongering" by all of the right-wingers of the Republican party about Obama being a Liberal with a capital "L" instead of a centrist? Poor guy. :D

I would agree 100% But let's fact it, this tactic is used by almost all of the big wall street investment houses . . . the chief market strategist is a marketing "tool." Plain and simple. But given all of the media exposure, you would have thought that Goldman might actually choose a woman...

Based on what exactly? By the way, I just noticed that you have not posted since Dec. 14th, 2008. No disrespect, but do you have another screen-name on ET that you have been posting under, or is Baron "paying" people more to post towards the end of the month in order to get web-activity...

Really now? I thought that Senator Gregg ( who approached the Administration for the position of Commerce Secty ) made himself look like a Fool. For some reason, in his press conference he looked like a babbling "star-struck" teenager that forgot to turn on his BRAIN. And you blame this...

You need to have a much better understanding of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, not too mention recent laws passed by Congress in regards to illegal immigrants and their "rights". California pays financially and socially for the burden of illegal immigration because the FEDS do nothing...

You posted this thread with the title of California... Roadmap to Socialism in the USSA did you not??? I thought that SOCIALISM was your point, but all you have done is point to taxation as the issue and for some bizarre reason conveniently refrained from addressing any of the budgetary...

In case you haven't noticed, his thread's point (and title) was about SOCIALISM in the USSA and how California was providing a "roadmap" for it. Yet, for some strange reason all he does is make "casual" and rather ignorant comments about taxation in California which were easily disproven...

As someone that spent 10 years in NYC and another 4 in CT, I have no desire to ever leave California again . . . and I don't miss the NY metro area one bit. I don't miss the noise, the crowds, the expense, the taxes, the long drives in traffic to get in/out of town on the weekends, and...

I just want to CLARIFY some things about Nenner since I was the one that brought his research and "cycles" up. Yes, he did tell CNBC anchors that there would be a cycle coming in around Feb. 13th. And I think that in another video somewhere he also eluded to a longer-term cycle that was to...

I think that you make a terrible mistake in the above analogy - - - linking someone's HOME to a financial market "trade".

Maybe that's why they are charging $48 for pasta. :D

The NYSE has changed their de-listing standards through April 22nd. "The NYSE has recently decided to lower its minimum required market-cap - or the value of all of a company's outstanding shares - to $15 million through April 22. The existing regulation required the delisting of companies...

How about Mit Romney? Now that's REAL wealth! :D Estimated at between $250 - $500 million.
