    Gold and silver market (blue horse shoe message)

    I once lost $1,500 in 10 minutes at blackjack. I was able to able to get 1 bud light in that time frame. So let me tell you...a $1,500 beer does not taste as good as a $3 beer at the bar, so a $100k night out in vegas is a horrible night. :p :p

    Selling Gold

    Honestly I think Apmex is the best place to sell your gold if its not scrap. I just did a quick search and they buy kilo bars for about $5 per oz under spot, so thats a pretty good deal and all it takes is one phone call and you just ship it. You could sell on ebay and you would get more...

    Silver down 20% in 2 days

    Silver is down almost 20% just today! $30.53 as I write this. I gotta say that silver is looking good at this price to buy, but that knife is falling fast and not sure I want to catch it right now.

    Gold is a safe haven

    All we need is someone on ET to start another "Gold is finished" thread or "The gold bubble just popped" thread and within seconds gold & silver will turn around and go back up.

    Can someone explain this to me?

    First off...Average person today makes 46k per year not 35k and during the boom years average income was over $50k. And I dont believe that other statistic is right that the average house costs $300k now. It was $177k in jan 2011...

    Short Traders are smarter than longs

    I trade more than 1 stock at a time, so I go long & short. I guess that makes me smarter than people that just go long and people that just go short! :D

    Former CEO of Ebay!! to be CEO of HPQ!!!

    My favorite part when she ran for governor was how she said "I'm paying for this with my own money" I laughed and said "No she's not! She gave herself a $120 million dollar serverence package when she left ebay. She ran for governor with money that she took from ebay shareholders!" I...

    Former CEO of Ebay!! to be CEO of HPQ!!!

    A moron could've made Ebay what it is today. Just look at how much she spent running for governor. Something like $150 million of her own money...the most ever spent. And almost always, the candidate that gets elected is the one that spent the most, but not her. How do you spend $150...

    Someone please answer quickly

    I tried to short a stock the other day and it said there were none available to borrow. Short interest was only 3.5%. What was that about?

    I did not graduate from Harvard/Yale so why the try to pushing yields down.

    If PITI is the same as rent, how is a house a black hole? I pay $1100 per month for my mortgage(PITI) and to rent would cost $1350 for the same size place. I definately dont spend $250 per month on upkeep as I cut the lawn and do any repairs myself, but even if I didnt, I cant imagine i would...

    Potential rebound plays...

    I dont hold long term anymore, just short term no longer than a few months, but here are some of my picks and their current prices as I write this. BRKS - $8.00 ARO - $9.47 MNTA- $11.09 (this one is a little higher risk than usual) I dont expect any of these to more than double, but...

    Who is John Galt?

    Way to go! You crossed the same finish line we are all aiming for! Although I say, quit trading if you've made it. No point flying halfway around the world if you are just going to sit in front of the same screen you sit in front of at home. :)

    Are americans the dumbest people on Earth?

    Yeah, you dont want someone like Palin...I mean if she ran the country like she ran alaska, what would happen? I mean she got rid of the private chef when she took office because she said she could make her own meals. She got rid of the private jet and sold it for pretty close to what was paid...

    OMG the SEC is going crazy busting people

    Depends on what the strategy he "gleened" was. If he overheard that such and such ETF is going to buy 10 million shares everytime the price hits $20 and sell everytime it hits $30, then yeah...thats kind of insider trading.
