I sure am. Although I have no idea where the bottom is. I'm putting in a tiny bit every pay check, hopefully buying all the way to the bottom.

Did the first ban go through? I can't remember reading a follow up to that

More jobs have been created this year than Bush's entire presidency. Srsly guys. If the economy produces jobs over the next eight months at the same pace as it did over the past four months, the nation will have created more jobs in 2010 alone than it did over the entire eight years of George W...

After 40 years, the United States' war on drugs has cost $1 trillion and hundreds of thousands of lives and has met none of its goals, and for what? We pay billions a year for housing inmates for "consensual crimes"...

Dudes, home value is dictated by the amount of demand they have, right? And Arizona is getting rid of 400,000 potential home buyers. Guess what that's going to do to their housing values? Additionally, that's 400,000 less people buying at local shops. 400,000 fewer people buying breakfast...

I don't think gold can go much higher...I mean, physically, I don't think it can get higher than where it is. The only way it could go MUCH higher is if America (dollar) becomes a 2nd world currency, or if europe disolves back to their original currencies

Agreed. Even if it shoots to 300 tomorrow, never regret making a profit.

I read that same article. He was featured on CNBC They brought him in for the "devils advocate" position. Although it could very well go to 125, the fact is, this is one article against a thousand that say the opposite. That one person made news because he's a respected analyst and is the...

Pretty much this. People have emotions, and that applies to their trading. I'm guilty of this as well. When there's a panic, people panic. When the news is all gloomy, it looks like next monday will be completely gloomy.

incoming ban!

So apparently Goldman Sachs batted a perfect game, and didn't have any trading losses for the first quarter--a feat they've never accomplished before. Does anyone feel this makes GS a good investment, or are things still way to speculative...

lol yup! Then I went and got some coffee and the dow has paired it's losses a bit

Off to jump out a window. See ya!

Hey that National Bank of Greece SA (NBG) looks really good now. Sounds like a good place to put a couple bucks into. If it recovered, that investment would do really well....if it tanked, then you're just out a few dollars

I'm just curious...any career autotraders here? I've only met one before, but I figure this is a forum for people like that, so maybe I'd be able to find some here!

I'm really hoping Google goes up again. They keep going down, even though nothing in the news suggests they should be going down. Which tells me it's going down because of emotions. Sigh, we'll see. Maybe it's time to buy in some more and fix this cost basis of mine

I see what you're saying: if you're resourceful, you can raise 2 children no problem; and you're right. Resourcefulness trumps a good deal of the time. But, what you touched on is more important than you realize. The person you're responding to would not be able, ever, to raise a child on 55k...

It's interesting that you say that. The few countries I've visited abroad (Nepal, Philipines, rural India), all think the exact same thing about America getting weekends off, vacation time, 40 hour weekly limits, and sick leave. They don't have unions to give them worker rights, so they work 12...

Is it slow because of processing, or slow because of network?

Not sure about the different size formats, but I'm not sure it matters, as the kindle (or nook) in general is fantastic if your goal is reading. As a big supporter of both e-readers and apple's ipa(o)d, I can safely say the e-ink makes for a much better reading experience, if reading is your...
