    Good investment. Your opinion.

    Check out a site like gurufocus.com and piggy back on what the successful investors are buying....You can duplicate Warren Buffett's portfolio and you'll have a pretty good start.

    Average People Fear Economic Depression

    The "average person" fears missing American Idol. The "average person" puts very little thought into economics, either the big picture, or their own personal economics. The "average person" is a true economic idiot.

    The Obama Tax Increases

    Yeah- it would really suck if things went back to being like the 90s. What did you hate more about the 90s, the Peace or the Prosperity?

    I-Bank Research

    Why do people continue to listen to the "research" that comes out of Wall St? It has become obvious these companies cannot even manage themselves, why are they offering opinions on other companies' value? And why does anyone listen? It is like a 350 pound guy with a cigarette giving health...

    Interactive Brokers Mobile Trader

    I've used Mobile Trader on the Motorola Q-- its bare bones, but useful in a pinch. Does anyone know how to opt out of using the security card to log in to mobile trader? If I forget my card, I can't log in on the road.

    LEH's Fuld admits he was responsible for multi-billion dollar loss

    My question on these i-banks is-- why should ANYONE care what they upgrade or downgrade or what their target prices are? These companies can't even manage themselves, let alone give financial advice and opinions to others.It is basically like a 350 pound smoker giving advice on how to be healthy.

    At the right price even ADAM SMITH would bailout FNM FRE

    if democrats did a bailout like this there would be no end to the bashing. when you hear a country nationalize an industry, there is scoffing at the "socialists" that run that place. now we're doing it right here in the US. haven't heard a cross word said about it toward bush yet. makes you...

    Wamu 12 mo CD = 5%. Take it? It's FDIC insured.

    you could put it in BRK-- more liquid than a CD, better returns, better taxation of gains. From what I understand, the guy who runs BRK has a pretty good handle on long term investing.:D :D :D

    Wamu 12 mo CD = 5%. Take it? It's FDIC insured.

    This site cracks me up. I can't believe you folks are seriously talking about CDs. {Giant Al Gore Sigh} Certificates of depreciation only make money for the bank that issues them. Watch: 5% CD - 25% taxes = 3.75% 3.75% < Inflation So you geniuses are putting your funds into an...

    Stronger growth rates under Democratic administrations

    You hit the nail on the head-- actually it happens in trading too when someone takes a trade then tries to justify it. They are almost always losing traders.

    Wamu 12 mo CD = 5%. Take it? It's FDIC insured.

    why are you on a trading site talking about 5% per year as a good return??? After inflation and taxes, its a negative return. You can buy PFE or T and get around a 6% tax advantaged dividend.

    Stronger growth rates under Democratic administrations

    you might want to rethink that-- there are a lot of blowhard republicans on wall st, but there are a ton of prominent democrats as well, Warren Buffett comes to mind for one...several of the biggest and best HF managers were also big donors to Hillary Clinton, as well as John Mack who was a Bush...

    govt bail out of fannie mae and this monday...SP tanks or soars?

    Would they sell for a profit? Could they??? The Gov't has a huge gain on the SPR, they were buying at $50-60/barrel or so. Wonder why they don't flip some of that oil for a profit?

    govt bail out of fannie mae and this monday...SP tanks or soars?

    You must be mistaken-- We have the MBA president who understands wall st to guide us. Surely he would not let this happen? Or was there a womens doubles beach volleyball game this weekend and he missed the meeting?
