    Obama May Ban All Foreclosures Without Review by Loan-Modification Program

    Without the "fix housing first" thing, houses would be alot more affordable right now... Now the government wants to make less forclosures legal in an attempt to lower forclosure numbers. Obviously an attempt to artificially increase perceived value of houses available on the market. More...

    Bloomenergy

    Although they claim it will eliminate the power grid, there will need to be a fuel grid for these to become mainstream. Instead of investing in this Bloombox company, investing in gas companies may be a better route to take.

    If you MUST make money, then you won't make any money?

    Without debt and good credit, I have options to deal with emergencies as I encounter them. There is no point in hoarding money or getting insurance when those funds could be used to earn money instead. I would also have the option of liquidating my brokerage account if need be, so it is pretty...

    If you MUST make money, then you won't make any money?

    My goals I feel are realistic. I will be starting out underfunded, but over time my funds will grow. I have a full-time job. After monthly expenses, I have just over $500.00 left over each month. In 17 days I will finally be out of debt. Instead of directing that $500.00 per month into paying...

    Bank of America settlement effect on short sellers

    You never own stocks that you short. You borrow them. The entity that ultimately collects part or all of the interest on your account is the shareholder. Therefore, Bank of America will give that entity the settlement money. Since they got paid, you won't have to pay them. At least that is...

    Health Insurers cutting their own throat

    The operations are only expensive because they are funded by health insurance, liability insurance, medicare, medicaid, taxes, monopoly protections, and student loans. If none of these things were funding medical care, medical care would be a hell of alot more affordable.

    Told My Friend About Trading. How To Teach Him Being Realistic?

    I would instead compare trading to athletes. Everyone can learn how to play baseball, but not everyone that plays baseball has a winning season.

    http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1916278,00.html Now extrapulate that cost to the year 2030 and calculate a % of child bearing costs vs. child education costs. At this rate it will soon cost more to educate than to raise a child.

    You mean you are having a hard time believing a large bank is not planning for the future? Not hard to believe considering the past 3 years. I believe they are not planning on using it, even though they will use it. :D

    new short sale rules next week?

    I think the issue you bring up is not that it's bad for a stock to go down. The issue you bring up is that it is bad to invest too much into a market that would severely affect people's lives and jobs when it goes down. Stocks never going down is a bad thing. Curbing shorting only helps...

    I went totally broke because...

    If I were you, I would pay my debt back before trading again. Trading while in debt will most likely make a bad situation worse.

    The $555,000 Student-Loan Burden

    I only mention medical bills because like dead people, I just cannot see society expecting disabled people to pay back the medical bills when they can't work. If they can still work, then of course I would expect the medical bills to be paid back. The core problem is an inflated health care...

    The $555,000 Student-Loan Burden

    The only thing that should be allowed for bankruptcy should be medical bills. Otherwise, all other types of debt should only be forgiven in death. For certain hardships, I would be willing to allow freezes on interest, fees, and penalty charges. The original loan principal would still be...
