I blame Alexander Hamilton. The founding father of Governmental financial scams. Kicked off the new nation with a Legislative thievery in continental congress war bonds. I don't things are terribly different now.

I have been biased to the sell side for a couple years figuring the economy was not what was being reported and things were in bad shape and the market would top. For the last year or 2 that's worked out fine. The last couple weeks/days things have gotten crazy, with wild stories of the...

Here you go straight from another street monkey. By Jeffrey A. Miron Special to CNN Editor's note: Jeffrey A. Miron is senior lecturer in economics at Harvard University. A Libertarian, he was one of 166 academic economists who signed a letter to congressional leaders last week opposing...

:D How'd you know I was a monkey. What your advocating amounts to doubling down into a losing position. What kind of idiot advocates getting out of a leverage infused crisis with more leverage. The equity markets have run their course for the next 1 or 2 decades they will go nowhere but down...

You obviously won't be swayed from the herd on wall street's community statement and you won't awaken to the fact that no one knows how to deal with risky highly leveraged assets, especially investment banks. First the reason BB&T sounds good is that we don't want our banks to dabble in this...

:D Seems like we're always on the same page. I support your proposal. JIM

probably means this time it's for real:eek:

It is was going to drop 30% no matter what. I think the people knew that and didn't believe the boy who cried wolf after he robbed the hen house. Could the world end maybe, but more likely a contraction that has been put on hold for years and now will be bad. Throwing another 700+ billion at it...

I've got 30-40 years of prime livin to do and all this bail out crap seems like it's going to make it arduous journey. I am severely disappointed in this country. JIM

Agree with you OT. Thanks for lending some longer term perspective, something us younger ones have to learn from history. When people have never seen bad times before, they always say but this time is different, but it never is. Players/names/products change but it will happen the same again and...

Already mentioned that earlier. I don't like pay offs for votes. What Obama is doing is like a car salesman giving you 500 bucks off then stick you with a 20% interest loan and 1000 signing fee. Oh and by the way the gas tank is full of sugar. Taxes have no where to go but up to pay for all...

Shhh! Your going to give away the big ending. :D

Hold on. Using that haughty tone you seem to think you've proven you are actually a successful trader. From what I've seen you mostly hang around making several thousand of posts and demonstrate an astounding lack of understanding of the general economy and the ramifications of political...

Going well, thanks. Long term trading without leverage doesn't mean your not trading. There are other markets other than futures and longer time frames than 60 with a 5 min chart. How's the bank? I heard someone had a birthday and you were going to have a sheet cake in the lounge :). Happy...

So do you spit or swallow when Barack's done with you. You demonstrate the flip side.:eek: :eek: :eek: :p :D

Umm... Who's "we"? and aren't you a bank teller? Getting someone a roll of quarter doesn't exactly constitute a trade. Get some history jimbo. Not everything bad begins and ends with W.

Sorry quite right. Was putting together your other political commentary with this thread start, While the other dill-hole of a vp doesn't know who was in office in 1929 and that there was no tv for FDR to rally the nation from. It was McCain who backed out by the way.

I'll call and raise you one Biden. What's all this prove... We got idiots running the country, idiots running for president, and idiots flaming about it on the internet. Get a clue Jimmy Jam/MS. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTBZHf6WyG0

Gotcha. If you don't intend to hold on to a car past the first couple years leasing can be the way to go. My father-in-laws truck lost thousands in value during his lease. He went to look into breaking it and it would have cost him plenty. That loss goes back to Toyota and in another year he can...

If you have the money to pay back any part of your mortgage or even keep it current you have the great privilege to continue on as if you haven't lost anything. Further more the government will be by shortly to confiscate those extra payments to help reassess mortgages for those who can not...
