Unfortunately 99% of people in this world don't understand this, especially politicians. This is the reason we have had human sacrifices, people burned as witches, and other none sense happen in human history. People have a way of giving meaning to the most meaningless things without any...

There is supposed to be a comment period of 60 days. Anyone have a link to send comments? -Neo

People should also take into consideration how rent control effects the price of non-rent controlled apartments. I believe it has a crowding out effect that increases rent prices for those who can't get into a rent controlled area. Lets say you have a rental market that is split into 50 rent...

I don't think PINK makes you more or less male either, but popularity of pink amongst men (maybe metrosexual men?) might be proof that fashion is becoming a bigger influence in the male social sphere. Usually being fashion conscious is a trait associated with the fairer sex... but I'm not a...

1. The banks would become more inefficient and would serve the needs of the politicians instead of investors, look to Venezuela for a great example of what happens when the Govt controls everything. It would make it easier for the government to create bubbles in other sectors of the economy. The...

Not just the young boys... Ever wonder why pink shirts are in and all of a sudden there are skin care products for men? Either the lines between the sexes are being blurred or there is a gender reversal happening. There are two things we can do, either put a stop to it or adapt to the new...

The subway crowd is changing too. The trains are less packed both in the city and the ones going out to Jersey and Long Island. In the evenings there are way more homeless on the subway, you can smell it just getting into the train car. Samething with bars and restaurants. Places near...

Your generalization is wrong... Visit Poland first before you make blanket statements about it looking like it did in 1945. Wages might be lower then in the West, but the place certainly doesn't look anything like what you described. Last I visited in 2005 it looked better then 80% of the towns...

Thats $3.77 a day. It might seem small if you only eat Fast Food or name brand products, but it is doable if you buy the generic store brand stuff like canned beans/veggies and noodles. Not to say that you will eat like a king, but it will keep you alive. -Neo

Indeed, it is very popular in both South America and Africa. Else where politicians practice double speak. -Neo

No, I was going to say that maybe you are just a slow learner... Taking your experience and applying it to the entire population is naive and poor deduction at best. I do wonder, though, why you went out of your way to put-down an entire age group on an internet forum. Are your being...

To put things into perspective, could you post your age?

Before you take this video as the whole truth consider who is propagating it on the internet, it is from Judd Bagley. Overstock.com's director of media. The same guy who was blaming short selling for the crappy performance of overstock.com' stock. Some history below...

Question for any of you guys who are registered and use a real time data feed. Do you actually pay the "professional" rates or do most of you simply click "non-professional" when signing up with a service like esignal? Thanks, -Neo

He may have addressed it before the market decline, however there is a pervasive trend in the media of blaming short sellers for the fall in the markets. His analogies serve to perpetuate false beliefs that falls in prices are caused by evil short selling hedge funds. In the blog he states...

If this guy is blaming short selling and the disappearance of the up-tick rule for the market decline then he is as clueless about the market as the housewives that watch FOX news. Everybody is happy as long as the market is going up, but once it takes a dip its like a witch-hunt for short...

How often are mutual funds right? If all the mutual funds are invested then who is left to move the price up? It sure won't be the hedge funds. -Neo

The guy is ex-KGB and his predictions are nothing more then wishful thinking. One of his ascertions is that the states will stop handing over tax revenue to the fed. Does that thinking sound like something that would come from a professor of economics who actually knows how the US functions...

Last I checked the book was out of print, but you can find a pdf using google. The book does not contain any big secrets. It is basically Oz's trading diary that documents 4 weeks worth of trades. He uses simple stuff, but follows stops religiously. It does have educational value, but I...

Are you sure it isn't just the Holiday effect on the VIX? -Neo
