There is a company that has already seen this and made large bets to profit from it. Invest in them. Its a sure thing. Ride the wave. They are never wrong because they can recycle their losses thru the FeD washer. the company - Goldman Sachs ticker symbol - GS latest price 169.50...

This H1N1 flu is going to shut down the economy. Vaccines did not get out fast enough and my personal experiencie shows most hospitals are turning patients away and only the sickest get admitted. The entire lobby of children's hospirtal of philadelphia is now a triage area. Community...

There is truth in your statement but many of us on this board feel that if the playing field were more level we would have a chance of being significantly more successful. Uncovering the deep corruption and lack of fairness, I suspect makes some people feel a bit better. (May make some...

I think asiaprop may step in on this thread.

I bet you can hire some very smart MIT/Carnegie Mellon idealist youngsters to do some forensic analysis and give them a cut of the penalties. Make them the bounty hunters! turn a boring 5 figure income desk-tool into a gun-toting vigilante bounty-hunter!

You mean a future ex-wife

I am fairly sure when NewEgg has to bow to their new overlords on Wall Street, they will no longer be the great company that they are currently plus how do you deliver 20% growth quarter to quarter on ecommerce business sustained over years. It will be another public ecommerce company...

The logic of that statement overwhelms my simple mind. Doctors are crooked.. Doctors blame unnecessary tests on lawyers Doctors are getting a kickback on those tests they can't interpret correctly that are unecessary. damn we are all F***ed. Don't go to a doctor, go to a...

You may be disillusioned with medical care but to say "OFTEN" misdiagnosed is clever catch-all for a very complex science. I guess its true that at least 3 people are misdiagnosed and therefore its OFTEN but make no mistake, the "practice" of medicine is by no means perfect and neither are the...

Another brilliant solution. You'd have every physician practicing more defensive medicine than ever ordering every test under the sun, leaving no stone unturned at the price of 10's of trillions of dollars so they can win all their malpractice suits... absolutely brilliant stuff. please...

Sure spinn, I am sure the doctor got that whole 73k. I guarantee the ER doc who saw that pt made less than 150/hr... but you'd pay that to a plumber or an ugly hooker in a second for an hours work. good luck with that.. that was an institutional bill (likely the medical center). 11Blade.

Same words when Datsun and Toyota entered the car market in north america. These guys can make cars and trucks as well as anybody. They are remarkable at continuously improving their products to the point of competing. Honda, Nissan and Toyota have eaten into the notoriously loyal...

Circadian - your idea is in my eyes a good one. obesity is a real problem in america. Not only should we do a cash for BMI (body mass index) delta... we should plug all those ellipitcals and excercise bikes into dynamo;s reroute all that electricity into the grid and make it cheaper for the...

I would contend that the price also reflects the weakness and overall decreased buying power of the USD. petrodollars even at 70 maybe worth the same as 50 petrodollars were worth only 2-3 years ago. (Which technically agrees with your outflow of money conjecture - short USD, long BRIC)...

I don't think this is an IB issue. There are numerous investment vehicles for NRI's and indian citizens who reside abroad that are compliant with India's own regulations. NRI's do not have to be indian citizens; for example - Indian's who have immigrated to Canada or Kenya or any other...

"worrying" will shorten your life span. raises your stress levels and cortisol levels which raise your risks for cardiovascular disease and overall mortality. "lack of worry" - lengthens it(lifespan). your trading, your vocation, your livelihood should be a plan to reduce your worries...

Damn it! i had all day to go long... after reading this message. Saw things turn negative in AH, now looks up 2% great company - 4.5+ billion in sales, only 110 million in profit, and a PE > 50. WOW!

I think the point is that those who consume more whether it be bread, cigarettes, hookers, yachts, private jets will pay more. Generally VAT's or sales tax don't include food (at least in my state). A consumption tax is just that. The corollary is that there are no writedowns...

Sounds about spot on. New debt is not being issued as fast as old debt is being paid down. I'm just afraid of the auto-loan and credit card tsunami coming down the road.

closed hypothetical position at 2.85 (+2.20) did not contract as much as I expected.
