idiots, I am not talking about going to war because of the debt, but for some other reason.

Would all our debt held by them be abolished forever? Assuming we win. How much is their government dependent on our debt? I believe they hold around 900 billion right? I know their economy would tank because we would not be buying from them. But I am talking specifically about government...

I have not used Turbo Tax before. I used interactive brokers to trade. Will I be able to simply put the net loss/gain? Is the online version of turbo tax cheaper? You get free e-file with it. Thank you for the help, I am a little lost here.

Forced by the Clinton administration to insure these bad mortgages? I hear people say it started in the late 90s when Clinton wanted more low income families to own homes. Can someone explain to me how the government can force a company to do something like this?

Just learning about this whole fiasco so help me out. If the government were to nationalize, would they nationalize all the banks? Why would the common share holders be wiped out? Wouldn't the government still make money being several large banks? Why couldn't they give this money out to...

The reason I ask is my father is in GM. he knows little about investing and only bought it because it was "cheap" this was at 8 bucks or so. I keep telling him if he wants to play GM to get out of the common stock and get into GMS. So if you guys were to chose between GMS and GM, which would you...

Makes sense. Anyways, my point is. If I were to be in GM, wouldn't it me safer to be a bondholder if you are paying the same price for a bond paying a 50% dividend vs holding the common stock that is doing nothing. Like you said, if the government wiped out the debtors, without payment, it...

While I know the government can do whatever it wants, is it not illegal to just tell the debt holders, we aren't paying you anymore, all while keeping the company out of bankruptcy.

GM is trading at 3.18, BGM is trading at 3.33 and GMS is trading at 3.55. Why would anyone own a common stock when they can get a security of higher priority AND one hat pays a fat dividend at nearly the same price? It does not make sense to me.

Which do you prefer? I was probably going to get the online version so I don't have to deal with the paper every morning. Any place offer a discount? Thanks guys.

Like many have said. These people were set up to fail. It is an entertaining show though. I hope they do something like this in the US.

I meant the 2nd episode

could someone record this and put it on a torrent please? I would like to view it, but I am in the US. Thank you.

Done! My congressmen and senators know my position on the issue. Please guys, do the same!

I absolutely suck at writing and I don't know all the cons to this other than it would cause me to be jobless and lose what I enjoy. Could someone post a sample letter. I really want to contact my congressmen and senator, but I don't want to sound like an idiot. Thanks guys.

dont know if this was mentioned, but all this money the guy thinks that would come from this tax will not be there. If this tax did go through, 80%+ of the daily volume would be gone and the only people they would be taxing would be the "mom and pops" of the world. Not to mention the number of...

How would this effect institutions or trading firms? Would they be exempt? Would this cause all the individual traders to go to prop shops?

What do you guys think? GMS is giving a 40-50% yield. Fords etd is giving high 20%. Citi's is yielding 13%. What do you guys think? When the description says "The company has the right, at any time, to defer dividend payments for up to 20 consecutive quarters (but not beyond the maturity...

Do you have to put up money? Is there training? 4 mil shares is a lot unless you know what you are doing.

GOLD Look for dollar inflation when other economies around the world recover. Companies like FCX and SLW are great metals plays. Or you can do the gold miners ETF 'GDX'. Miners move much better than the actual metal. Corp Debt HYG(though it is at a large premium now) and LQD are great...
