    Credir card debt --staggering

    Original creditors rarely hold bad debts that long. They will sell it to a slimy junk debt buyer, who will pay 1-2% for it. The thing is, for reasons that escape me, they hardly ever include any proof when they sell it. THey can almost never legally prove a relatively small debt in court...

    Why doesn't anyone realize Doctors have Bankrupted GM?

    OK....I think anyone would freely admit that a drunken 12 year old with a box of crayons could do a better job running GM than the current narcissists in charge. But..........healthcare is half of the money they owe. If the 37th best healthcare providing country did not charge twice as much...

    Is everyone wrong about market response to Madoff?

    Aren't almost all of the people guilty of these recent acts Jewish? If I were Jewish....I would be ashamed, not trying to make myself out as a victim of the SEC.

    If you're young, pay attention to Madoff.

    Or he is a narcissist or sociopath and does not care at all. Maybe he is like OJ Simpson and actually believes he did not do it and is a victim of the GOVT. Why these guys do this is beyond me. Can't you live on a $2 million a year income? Does your life change if you make $20 million?

    There is no question that Madoff deserves a complete and total bailout with TARP funds.

    Who has started out with nothing, learned how to trade on their own, and now makes $?

    My question is...........how do you support yourself financially through the learning curve? It is easy to say dont start trading without $50,000, but I do not have that. Trading to pay the bills is a virtual impossibility in the beginning.

    Best Laptop?

    I ended up ordering a 17" Dell Inspiron. It was a little under $600, refurbished with a one year warranty, purchased from Dell. As a side note......I have no idea why so many of you need these insane systems to trade. I just run Ensign, TWS and my current 8 year old PC handles it just...

    Who paid for the G20?

    I live in Washington DC and was getting lunch next to the White House when the motorcades started coming through. There were fifteen separate motorcades going all sorts or directions. Some of the trucks leading these limos were frightening. Two entirely separate radar looking things and guns...

    Best Laptop?

    All I need to run is Ensign and Trader's Workstation. Neither of those take a lot of resources like TradeStation, which nearly blew up my machine the last time I used it. I trade with a very tight stop, and place it on their servers as soon as I enter via a bracket trade so the world wont end...

    Some Good Things That Will Come From Obama

    The average testosterone level in men has dropped 100 points in the last 20 years. I agree...the problem is most will not fight back, until it is (almost?) too late. Low testosterone is more dangerous than high....for a number of reasons.

    Best Laptop?

    I need a new computer and want to get a laptop with a 17 inch screen. What is a good low end machine, and where can I get it? Also what are the best deals on wireless connectivity? I may get rid of my home phone and get a cell, my current contract is up. Is wifi generally reliable for...

    Doctors Ban More Medical Schools.....Greater Number of Students....Protect Incomes...

    My life is my research. Granted surgeons are different because they actually do something. For nearly twenty years corrupt DRs tried to give me Lipitor while my thyroid function was that of a 90 year old, even though I was 23. So do I feel bad if your mothers income dropped from $500,000 a...

    Doctors Ban More Medical Schools.....Greater Number of Students....Protect Incomes...

    One of the best ways to avoid paying malpractice insurance would be to stop committing malpractice. What most people do not realize is DRs commit malpractive almost every time they see a patient. I have a chronic condition and the treatment I have received has been horrific, at best...

    My contribution to ET: Buy ICE

    When it breaks below the "support" at 80, the next support is 50. The next support below that is 0. 0 is not good.
