If I had a silver dollar for every time someone starts an article/conversation/thread/book/etc. with "U.S. Headed For Economic Disaster"...

Based on your rather naive original question, I think your opinion may be about as "worthless" as the system you are judging... Since we know zero about you, try being a little less judgmental and a little more like the anonymous thread starter you are - humble.

You spread the futures, you don't use the illiquid crosses. Long Euro, short yen, etc.

*sigh*. The airline industry lost $9 billion last year. Again. Amtrak is always losing money and needs govt support. And an amtrak ticket often costs almost the same as a plane ticket. Only intercity busses - private or public - are cheap. Spending hundreds of billions on a US network of...

Traders are going to become a LOT less important in most trading establishments. Algorithmic trading is eventuallly going to do to prop or company traders, what electronic trading did to the pits... I worked at 2 investment banks. At one, which had a giant electronic trading floor, the...

They will, but there will likely be a lot fewer. For example, if the NY Times becomes a lot smaller, say the Philadelphia Inquirer, they will have to outsource and slash staff to reflect the new economies. And a lot of mags are sold through the same places that books are - WalMart, Borders...

You need to stop using yourself as a source. For example, these two items Report: U.S. Workers Are Most Productive: "Only part of the U.S. productivity growth, which has outpaced that of many other developed economies, can be explained by the longer hours Americans are putting in, the ILO...

It depends on the precise wording of the agreement. For example, some futures brokers claim their employees don't trade futures so there is no conflict of interest. But Rydex & the others are leveraged, but are not futures.

You can also trade things like Rydex, ProFunds and Direxxion, which give you up to 3 fold leverage

Sheesh, Monty. I would do the opposite. Japanese students and workers are notorious for a consensus approach to almost everything. The saying "the nail that sticks up will be hammered down" says it well. Americans are hands down far more entrepreneurial and willing to challenge stupid...

The reality is, that about a week ago, it was reported due to sales, other dealers cherry picking inventory by other dealers and things like that, there were under 2,000 Chrysler cars on closing dealer lots that had not yet been spoken for. One Chrysler dealer said he was down to 2 cars, and...

OKKKKKKK.

I have had a number of male and female bosses, and consider the concept that either gender is incapable of being a manager/supervisor as retarded. I have had good and bad from each. In fact, mostly anonymous articles or forum posts, that a person would be unlikely to say to a person's face...

it is all about getting your name out and bringing in a steady stream of new customers. I doubt that people on Ebay are any less intelligent than the newbies wandering onto ET, thinking that either trading will bring a fortune in a short time or once realizing it won't, their expectation that...

well, on an internet search, soros name kept coming up in concert with the title of this thread, so...

What has your own web research shown so far?

why is it worth $1000??? 99% of these don't work, so even $800 is probably about $790 too much. Gott audited track records for it??? Otherwise...

A huge waste of money in a large country. 1) It will cost a huge amount of money to build, and likely will struggle to make money on many routes. Politicians will demand stupid things like high speed rail from Fairbanks to Anchorage. Look at Amtrak, and multiply the costs by a huge...

Perhaps some of that went into US Gold coins, since there has been such a workdwide demand for gold?
