I did. Can't complain about anything and the research about the long term benefits of Resveratrol speaks for itself. Go for it. It also makes a delicious red wine taste even better. :)

Good point. There are a lot of private health care institutions in Canada already but they operate on semi-legal to illegal basis. The government simply chooses to tolerate them instead of going after them. If you have the cash you can also get the health care in the US without waiting in line...

It sounds good and you may not be worse off right at that moment but you will be worse off in the end. 1) Like I said the US companies will sue the canadian goverment under Nafta unfair competition act for subsidizing of the public health care system thus choking away funds. 2) The best...

The 2 tier system is just a brainwash coming from the US companies trying to expand to Canada. I agree that there is some space for private health care services but you have to be surgically accurate as to where you allow it. Even then it's a pandora's box. Once you make it legal to have private...

Agreed. Makes you wonder where so much of the gun control registry money went. It probably could have cost 10 times less if implemented properly.

Taleb is not interested in saving the banks and the bailout is a completely different thing than what he proposes. Read the article again! Taleb is talking about protecting the flow of money by nationalizing part of the banking sector. He is totally right about the current systemic risk...

\ Not true for Canada. I don't know about the other countries but I strongly doubt it.

I am with Ribs on this one. You Americans just don't get it. The same goes for guns. You'd rather live in paranoia with a gun in your bed to pretend that you are feeling safe. The same goes for health care. Health care is NOT A BUSINESS. No matter what you do it will always have to be subsidized...

Yeah, I agree that with a nice private insurance you are quite a bit better off in the US than in Canada. That is as long as you have that nice private insurance! :) Once you get sick and you lose your insurance no company will insure you again. Correct me if I'm wrong about that.

People are always unhappy with what they have until they try something else. ;) So don't believe everything people say. The US health care system has big problems that need fixing just as the Canadian health care system. Considering everything I prefer the Canadian system because I know that no...

What put derivative are talking about? Can you give any arguments how the ultrashort ETFs affect or manipulate the prices? This is a free market and nobody is forced to hedge with SKF long-term. There goes Cramer's argument that long-term short sellers are somehow keeping the market down. If...

Ribs, the society will always push you not to steal. You will be called the BAD PERSON. When the financial companies steal billions from the population, it's not even called stealing. Nevertheless, at the end it comes down to your conscience. You created this thread because deep down you feel...

Sorry, to break into this discussion but just want to say that the SCT concept never made any sense to me. Too complicated and seemingly intentionally convoluted and unclear. I did like the idea of drills. But continuously doing the same thing (reversing positions) is NOT how nature works and...

ETFs have nothing to do with market manipulation. As people take both long and short positions in all ultra ETFs any argument against them is baseless. If SEC moves to ban these instruments it's the beginning of the end of the free markets in the US.

I'd say that either they all immediatelly realized that she meant 50 million people and did not want to interrupt her or they are all complete morons. :D

The health care system in the US maybe the best in the world but the population is one of the sickest in the world. In fact the stats show that even the richest people in the US are sicker than the poorest in the rest of the western world. The US heatlh care system is also the most expensive in...

Makloda, this video finally sheds light on the whole conspiracy theory! Priceless... :D

It's simple, the government system in the US is broken. They knew about the problem but just as mother of a fat kid thinks that her kid is not that fat, the government thought that surely the problems can't be so serious. The Wall street & the banks payed big money for the campaigns of all the...

Great response. As we all know here, when it comes to profit people stop thinking rationally and the credit expansion was all about profit. Everyone wished so much that the fantasy was real that it took a big crash for the world to wake up. Was it all engineered? Is this one giant wealth...

Well said. Although someone mentioned that Singapore or China or whatever should be our example? Don't be fooled people are basically the same everywhere and I speak from experience because I worked in Japan and had a chance to see the reality over all the hype. Be happy that you have so much...
