    Jim Rogers Supports Ron Paul for President - FT

    This is hypocrisy at its best: US Bull market and he is long with you == hey its fantastic, all good to be admired. He leaves the US to try and participate in the bull market somewhere else, he un-American or unpatriotic. Maybe because US markets are relatively speaking paltry in...

    Merrill's O'Neal walks away with $161.5m

    he got no severance, or exit bonuses. I think they just vested his existing options. Compared with Pfizer and Home Depot, he got screwed (he had no employment agreement, his fault).

    Stock Trad3r INDEX

    You realize, of course that this will smoke the market in bull markets and get crushed in bear right? (Its almost like a "new" nasdaq-17 index lol). Actually, kudos for putting together a modernized version of QQQQ. (Since QQQQ + nas100 are heavily weighted towards biggest stocks, like s&p)...

    Ranking Dem's New Plan: 4% Surtax On Incomes Above $150,000...

    The funny part is that with current inflationary policy $150k won't be that much. I didn't read the article but wonder if its indexed to inflation like AMT wasn't.
