    ULTIMATE HYPOCRISY: You can't 'naked short' certain equities, but 'Market Makers' can

    GM car an embarrassment

    She'd better have a smokin body or some other extreme characteristic she's willing to share, because she is a pretentious, self-centered, unintelligent, shallow human being.

    Mainboard accepting Fewer RAM Sticks

    It is so rare infact, that HP has made public a specific procedural fix? Doubtful it's applicable to the OPs problem given the Intel mobo, but it is interesting... in the case of HP, very rare might mean several 1000s of units.

    Ensign Software - Gone to the DOGS

    a) Version 2/26 replaced 11/3, and it's the last version without new features. You didn't have to download the new stuff. b) interesting noone here is jumping on your bandwagon. 15-30 seconds, minutes, whatever hang times, would cause major outcry. And fwiw, I have used ensign for 2 years...

    I'm thinking investors should gobble up financials.

    If you're a trader, maybe. If you're an investor, so long as you understand you are attempting to pick the bottom of a world-wide financial fiasco versus the bottom of particular stock. Keep in mind all the "value" and "deals" that supposedly existed DURING the last bubble burst.

    Question About "Average Joe" Risk Tolerance ...
