Would appreciate someone to unconfuse me. On my IB Schedule D Worksheet, it has a subtotal under column d (sales prices) of $359, 673, then on the next line it has a total of $375, 201, with no clue as to why the increase. Anyone know what that might be? The gross proceeds on my 1099B is the...

Higher business and economics education may not be worthless, but it is certainly dangerous when the grads move into positions of power too quickly in gov't and financial firms.

Obama said the profits and earnings ratios were improving.........guess that is his P/E ratio.

I here you.

The current day ends at 3:15, and the next day begins at 3:30. So, there is a 15 minute shut down in between. On Friday, trading ends at 3:15 as usual, but no more trading until 5 pm on Sunday when the Monday trading day begins. As you mentioned, there is also a 30 min interruption...

Well said, JB3. Probably fits about 80% of us. Stosh

Sis is beginning to think that you are all talk......she is more than ready to consummate. Enough of the Uncle Remus prose....when and where can y'all meet!!!! Gotta go.....Sis says ES is beginning to move. Stosh

Have we got guns? Ha Ha Most of our guns are military surplus...some are black powder and some are belt fed. Takes some practice to clip a deer with an RPG and not ruin the meat. Of course, nothing tastes better than fried rattlesnake. We just grab them by the tail, pop them like a...

Kinda hard to read.....where did you learn to write? We have a good school here and we may have to send you to school with Sis. She is in 5th grade now.....had to miss a few years cause of her kids. Of course she can cook: fried squirrel, coon and dressing, collard greens, possum pie...

Naw, Ma got her hair caught in the hay baler......pulled her plumb through and packed her in the bale......what a mess. Anyway, Sis is filling in fer Ma real well...seems to keep Pa happy. But Sis will still have time for you....she's been taught how to treat a man. I told her you traded...

Glad to hear you have found a home among the like minded here in my native Texas. Welcome. Maybe we could meet some time for a six pack and a game of horseshoes. I'll bring my sister...soon as she gets her new teeth. :p Stosh

Treasuries, Eurodollars, Dow, gold, crude oil, nat gas, and some others.

I have a BBA with finance major and wish I had a better understanding of economics. But I trade my own account so am not looking for what might help in getting a job. Seems to me that comp sci, statistics, math, psychology, accounting are tools and nice courses to take but my goal would be...

Cutten: Having lived through the 70's and 80's and remembering 21% prime and 19% yields on gov't bonds, I look forward to your next post about inflationary expectations. Thanks for the interesting post. Stosh

Here in Fort Worth, Texas, real estate went up in price like crazy in the latter part of the 70's. Partly, I suppose because construction had been at a standstill in the mid 70's. There were many shocks to the system during the 70's. Nixon's wage and price controls, OPEC oil embargo, Viet...

And Bloomberg runs the same 4 commercials over and over and over.

Obvious guesses would be gold, treasuries, commodity etf's. Of course, in 10 years or so we can repeat on real estate and oil. I suppose a scare in food or water is possible. With rising inflation, nearly everything can bubble. Stosh

I'm not an expert either but it seems that if, for example, there were 10 bids on the books at 751.75, but only 5 offers to sell at 751.75, then only 5 bids would get filled. I suppose those bids that had been there the longest, would get filled first.....don't know for sure. Maybe someone...

If your carless, their is know way that your not going to make misteaks and loose you're money.

By the way, before they stop entitlement spending (buying votes), I wouldn't be surprised to see them selling parks, highways, military bases, weapons, gov't buildings, etc. Once the beast reaches a certain size he needs to be fed large and often. Stosh
