Nice find, I rarely read our local paper so I missed that article. Reading the comments at the end of the article I think says it all from a working class point of view.

It's already losing it's allure; it used to be fairly cheap to live here, not any more. Without some meaningful type of insurance reform this state is doomed. I'd be interested in knowing the latest population numbers, I think there are as many exiting as coming these days.

Crude inventories rose more than twice the expected number...a bit of a wash. Either gas comes down or crude comes up to move things one way or another. Don't pay any attention to people claiming profit taking for the drop in the crack spread, it is simply the expiration of the April...

You are not making it clear how this is supposed to work. How do you figure that every dollar the pps goes up you make double your money? If you have 1000 shares and it splits 2:1 you know have 2000 shares but those dollar moves the stock used to make are now 50 cent moves. You are assuming that...

Can you explain this? If you give me a $20 bill and I give you two $10's, where's the pure profit?

I can tell you that the Tampabay area is still terrible, and imo getting worse. I was talking to a local business owner last week that I once worked for and he was telling me how a large portion of his customer base was moving out of state to places like Kentucky and North Carolina. The...

Which broker was that? I like the easy access to the house equity:D

In response to the thread title, the media can usually be depended upon to tell main street what wall street has known for a long time and thus tends to be a lagging indicator. Just like the big fuss over gas prices last year, by the time the media really started hyping it, the run up was...

Thanks for responding, I think some will be ok long term, but figuring out which ones is obviously the tricky part. Have you looked at TMA? The CEO and COO bought 220k shares between them today.

I think we've misunderstood each other; I fully agree with the devaluations after the wars, heavy debt in the case of the UK with loans from the US. I just thought you were referring to the pound being worthless today, which seemed odd given their strength against all currencies and the recent...

I'm not sure I'm following you here, are you only referring to the huge depreciation after both World Wars? You're not saying that is still the case today are you?

I'd like to know if traderich is still averaging this one down. Not for gloating purposes, I'm just curious how far someone looking to buy on the cheap will follow it. I would think that being delisted from the NYSE has to make one think that maybe it's time to just cut the loss and move on. Or...

My laptop is still fairly new (9/06) and the desktop while old (7/04) gets very little use. Absolutley no incentive for me to get Vista. Sure, the laptop has the memory for it, but I'm not having any issues with XP Pro. I'm hoping Vista's replacement will coincide with my need/desire for a new...

That's pretty funny, do you follow the oil patch much?

Gold has more value imo, as it can be and is used for things other than trading. Paper money is only as good as it's government, and ours isn't exactly wowing anyone right now. I have lots of ammo, I'm prepared for a shtf scenario.

Export trade

They would be using mark to market accounting and would report the unrealized loss as though it were realized.

Sounds like a great opportunity to me, you do know that electronic trading on the Nymex runs from 6pm Sunday through 5pm Friday right?

The worried people are the one's that realize we are living a lie and that there must come a day when when it's time to pay the piper so to speak. Others prefer to ignore the facts and wait until that day is actually here before worrying. Not a scientific explanation, but I'm trying to keep my...

There wasn't much need for your last post as your op was laced with spelling/grammatical errors. This was of little concern to me as it was legible enough to understand your point, but your retort to the illiteracy post is off base because if he googles deformation he will undoubtedly find that...
