    The Biggest Rally On Vapors I've Ever Seen

    As you may have suspected, things were milk and honey from 1998 to approximately 2006, when the bottom fell out. 2007 and 2008 were horrible years, which gave me a lot of free time and time to reflect on whether there's a future that resembles what was an admittedly great time to make money...

    I've made all my money developing real estate, in the family tradition, and have spoken about it at length on here.

    The Biggest Rally On Vapors I've Ever Seen

    My caveat has and always is that I am not a trader, and don't dare tread those treacherous waters that are rigged by players having access to information I can't possible hope to have. If there was integrity in equity markets, and they weren't so rigged, and the markets were efficient and...

    POLL: Is belief in God due to a failed search for meaning in life and fear of death?

    In order to assemble a rational thesis on a deity, one must first ask themself this very basic question: Did there have to a 'beginning?' In other words, could matter and the universe, in whatever form it may have presented itself, been present for all of time, with no beginning point...

    NYSE Chief: It is time to short the market...

    Why would low volume belie 'stength?' It would seem to me that the very low volume of late belies a lack of conviction, if anything, and provides an opportunity for hedge funds and very active managers to manipulate direction more than they could in heavy volume environments.

    The Biggest Rally On Vapors I've Ever Seen

    Just wait until the sellers start dumping, and the hedgies can no longer manipulate the thin volume on pumping. The bears have it right, for there will be nary a buyer in sight.

    Cramer ripped by CNBC guest

    He definitely needs to be loved, and that's his undoing. I don't think any other TV personality, and let's face it, that's what Cramer is at this juncture, needs to be loved like Cramer does. He's one of the most insecure people I've ever seen. Even when he appeared on the Daily Show, he...

    Cramer ripped by CNBC guest

    LMAO!!!!! Cramer is such a tool to actually dare and respond to that. He has to be mentally ill in all seriousness, entertainer or not. p.s. - I've been warned to stay away from CNBC today, not that I typically watch it (Bloomberg ftw), but I guess they have a self-congratulatory orgy...

    Joblessness Reaches 10% in Indiana; Oregon, Washington, West Virginia Jump

    So, 10% is reality in about 15 states. I've said a national rate of 13% or higher by next year (summertime) will not surprise me in the least based on current trends in jobless claims on a monthly basis, and the fact that many of the layoff announcements have just been made in the last three...

    Immensely Credible Robert Shiller: "Depression Lurks Unless There’s More Stimulus

    How can this stimulus work? If you break down the spending, 85% of it basically goes to fund local and state units of government in a manner consistent with what they were spending before. In other words, it went for salaries for teachers, road officials, firefighters, law enforcement...

    S&P 500 May Jump 70% on Valuation, Economy Rebound, Fisher Says

    Isn't this guy from IBD? I think their top 100 stocks probably fared the worse in the last 12 months of any publication I've ever read.

    Women are risking their lives having 'friends' inject silicone into their bodies

    And everyone says men are desperate. If these women aren't putting out daily, why do they care about looking their best and take such immense (and stupid) medical risks in the process of trying to bring their sexy back? http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/17/nyregion/17silicone.html?_r=1&hp...

    Gloom and doom at the Bank of Japan

    Who has a closer pulse on real economic activity than an export-intense (the most export-intense) economy like Japan? Ignore this man's words at your own peril.

    10% of Capital One cardholders default on credit card debt they can't pay

    I agree and told him as much. In fact, I told him it was akin to stealing. I don't think he cared enough to pay attention to my opinion, having just gone through the roughest patch in his life, however.

    Why The Bailouts Are Not Working

    The bailouts are only serving to give banks time and leverage to NOT sell off the assets they should be liquidating ASAP at current market prices, and putting them in a stronger position relative to their debtors in terms of negotiations. It's producing a terrible effect whereby it's...

    10% of Capital One cardholders default on credit card debt they can't pay

    I highly doubt it. Credit card debt is unsecured, and proving that he had the intent, beforehand, to amass large debts and not pay is a very tough standard of proof.

    David Tice Predicts S&P to Fall Below 800 Level

    Whatever little prickish child who keeps rating these threads one star, why don't you construct and post an intelligent rebuttal to the OP, instead? Retard.
