Didn't Clinton Raise tax rates on the highest levels in the 1990's. We had one of the best decades of economic growth then. How is that explained since rates were actually raised.

I believe SEM Group went bankrupt due to overhedging. SGLP is a sister company of sorts. I am not completely sure, but I believe that was the company line on why they went belly up. So there is always the risk that a company over hedges. Lastly, although not a great excuse, if very few...

and every opportunity to succeed and if they are no good with money it will be squandered. I guess this is where the typical American is sitting in the current economic state this country is in. They should require students to know the basics of personal finance in order to graduate...

First, you do not have to work on a desk to understand what you are talking about and secondly, it doesn't matter if I am OK with it or not, it is going to happen no matter what.

Off topic, how is this slim? This is how the markets work. There is a natural pyramid of information, the top dogs all the way down to the retail 100 share investors. If I am buying a block, I want the best price no matter what, don't you? If you make money trading doesn't someone else lose? If...

Yes, unfortunately it is true that Schumer stated this. I almost died laughing as he tried to justify/explain why it should be. I like how the second poster put up that quote he made on IMB. Schumer is manipulating the markets, perhaps the SEC should go after him? If I make a donation to...

1999 Mailibu? That is one old car. That is 9 years old. No wonder. Now if you said you were dating her for a year and your first car ever was this and then she dumped you I would feel sorry for you. But, if you just met the girl, you do have to do some things that will impress the girl...

If you tripled Europe's gas prices to $30 a gallon, don't you think there would be some economic repercussions there? Beside, if you go from paying 80/week for gas and now pay 240/week for gas I think there are going to be substantial economic repercussions in the US. What is that, over 8k a...

Fslr dropped just the same...take a look at the chart...they are probably joined at the hip. never fall in love witht a story or a stock.

They lowered their 3rd quarter view right where you see the quick sell off start. http://www.reuters.com/article/marketsNews/idINN1717721220080417?rpc=44 I think they lowered it by 60 mil on the revenue side...I don't have my bloomberg here to verify...it caused the whole sector to sell...
