Meanwhile in the real world new home sales up 11% and inventory at 11 year lows.

Under estimating people's able to be creative is a big mistake as is refering to a recession as a crisis. Personally I don't think this is any worse than the early 80's and maybe not even that bad. It might get worse though. no one can say for sure. What I do know is tomorrow I have to go...

My grandfater was born in 1899. My dad 1923 and mom 1924. They made it through unscathed thankfully. My mom who is still alive and quite active gets very mad whenever she hears someone compare todays situation to the depression. She was there so I'll take her word for it.

I don't think you have a clue my son. In the depression there was no food stamps for that man to use. No unemployment or SSI either. Today society has a safety net. I'm not saying thats a bad thing either. But todays victims of this recession live like kings compared to those effected in...

True enough. The average person survived the depression pretty well though comparing todays probelms with the 30's is a bit disingenuous to put it mildly.

Really?...So no one is going to buy an iPod are they? Haha. You guys are full fledged nutjobs if you really believe that.

It must be very scary to be so young as to have no memory or experience of other such economic upheavals. I feel for you, but don't worry it'll be okay. Hell, it already is for the vast majority of the population.

Bob, I didn't say much today because quite frankly I didn't know what to say. However, I can't tell you how impressed I was/am with the way you handled the situation. You are true pro.

His company has not been implicated in the crisis to the extent others have, and its quarterly report last week detailing robust earnings confirmed JPMorgan’s pre-eminence. Huh? JPM's earnings were lame.

Geez, Have a good trip bud. I want some goat stories when you return:) Mike

Put the bong down

Is there any other metric to use really? Of course, I always get stuck with the gay guys. I mean the over the top gay guys you can't mistake. Who did the market research that said straight people want to be served by flaming gay males???

Sorry bud, but if people expect 15-20% bonuses for just doing their job they should consider the financial industry not food service. Now where is that damn salad?

Sounds like servers should look into becoming strippers until the restaurant industry implements a sustainable business model. In any event not my problem. Now where the hell is the fucking salad I ordered 20 minutes ago?

I only tip at strip clubs.

I'm sorry but your comment suggests you are naive to the ways of the real world. As I said before, Corporations routinely settle debts as a way of cleaning up their balance sheets. There's no reason individuals shouldn't be encourage to do the same thing. As for how people live after being...

The concept of settling debt isn't new and businesses do it everyday so I don't understand why when an individual settles it's such a big deal or suggests depression. Actually getting out of debt is probably the single best stimulus for growth there is.

I wouldn't hire you just based on the idea that anyone dumb enough to get busted for any 1 of these things, let alone all 3, must be a freakin idiot.

Not sure where some of you guys who claim to live in Florida are, but my taxes went down this year. I pay $5,500 and a home of equivilant value in Illionois I'm looking at the taxes are $11,000. On the other hand, contrary to what someone else said, insurance is going up like crazy. Mine's...

FH, Just to give you a quick answer since Geez is prolly doing something fun and semi-legal about now. Geez is risking $200 per trade, based on his stop point, regardless of the amount of money invested in the trade itself. That is his money/risk management strategy. So whether he buys...
