    Why are there so many people unemployed?

    Job creating has been pathetic since 2002. The only reason the unemployment rate went down is because a lot of people dropped out, living off debt, home equity etc. We have too much labor supply because business got scared that there was going to be a big labor shortage due to boomer...

    Why are there so many people unemployed?

    "BLS issued projections four years ago for the year 2010 -- for a labor force number (supply) of about 157 million and an employment number (demand) of 167 million -- many individuals simply subtracted the two numbers, came up with a shortfall of 10 million and shouted "labor shortage""...

    Why are there so many people unemployed?

    In the late 1990's all the consultants were telling business that the would soon run out of employees (baby boomers retiring). So business got the government to flood the labor market with visas, illegal workers and off shoring of production. I guess they over did it.

    US Chamber of Commerce Hoax

    This is funny. Some people held a press conference at the National Press Club pretending to be the US Chamber of Commerce, then half way through, the real chamber guy shows up. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/19/chamber-of-commerce-hoax_n_326069.html

    Why is there a dollar shortage in the real US economy

    Even though the banks can lend out 14 times their capital, I have always been a little confused as to where they get the 14 times money from to lend out or invest. 1.) The can get it from deposits. 2.) CD's. 3.) Borrow from a wholesaler on a daily basis. 4.) Borrow from another country...

    Where would you live if you can make more than $200000 per year from stock mark.

    West coast trading hours are not that great. Equities open at 6:30 am, so you really have to get up at 4:30 am to shake the cob webs out and be able to focus. I suppose it all depends on the person. Also, moving away from family and friends can be stressful and isolating, in a job that is...

    Is Don Miller running another scam ?

    Not to belabor the point, but I still don't see the scam. The best people can come up with seems to be that he is charging $10,000 for his course. A scam in my mind would be someone who fakes their track record or who does not deliver on what they promise. So what is it with all this...

    Is Don Miller running another scam ?

    Where is the scam? What are the details? Just calling names is meaningless.

    Is Don Miller running another scam ?

    Where is the beef? Nothing on that link but caty chatter. I'm not vouching for the guy, but if someone is going to call someone a fraud, lets see some proof.

    Is Don Miller running another scam ?

    Comments seem a bit harsh. I've looked at his blog a time or two. Plenty of good stuff for free. Its not like he twisted anyones arm to sign up for his jelly room thing. The only way you could legitimately criticize him is if he completely made up his trading track record each day in his blog.

    Dell to shut North Carolina plant, cut 905 workers

    I suppose if these jobs were unionized people would be saying - see, the union killed these jobs. But they were not union. Just Dell deciding that its cheaper to assemble the entire PC in Asia.

    30-Year T-bond Tick Increases to 1/32nd on August 30, 2009

    The people saying hurray are probably floor traders/market makers who will make more money off the spread. Everyone else loses. Time to complain to the CFTC (202) 418-5000 questions@cftc.gov

    This is the future of the USA

    Probably 10 times as many non-union jobs have been sent overseas versus union. Harping on unions is a red herring at this point. White collar jobs are going just as fast.

    Trump Chicago pending "disaster"?

    Might be a nice place if prices come down. Better than that hole in the ground, the spire. Chicago has yet to have a shake-out on price.

    Here Comes The US VAT Tax....

    Nice slogan, but we don't have free markets. We have an open US market and rigged Asian markets. One way trade.

    Here Comes The US VAT Tax....

    States could eliminate sales tax on domestic goods and double it on imported goods. I don't think the WTO has any say over what states do.

    House moves to extend unemployment benefits.....Wait a Second!!!!

    If you are at the point where you need to file for unemployment, future rate increases would be the least of your concerns.

    House moves to extend unemployment benefits.....Wait a Second!!!!

    If you paid the self employment tax I think you can qualify for unemployment in many states. Its tough being outside the system. That is one reason why I would like to see universal health care - health care separated from employment. The deck is stacked against those who do not work inside...

    Optionshouse vs IB

    OH is a browser based trade entry system that requires two clicks to make a trade. That makes it hard to get fills on limit orders. You have to do a market order where you get dinged a tick which makes the lower commissions less valuable.
