    How can you not love aaple here

    Jon, you seem young. If you've never seen the action during a recession don't make the mistake of outsmarting yourself. Have some humility here, because if not the market is going to give you a very hard lesson on falling knives. A great company fall 80%? "Impossible!" you say? Wrong. It's...

    EURUSD longer term thinking

    It is all about supply and demand. Money frozen in toxic waste reduces supply. Fed money printing increases supply. Foreigners clamoring to get into safe US treasuries increase demand. Foreigners dumping bonds and repatriating their funds reflects reduced demand. Try to determine the net...

    i found the holy grail

    I know the strategy you are using. Add commissions and slippage and it dies. Add more people who know about it and you'll be losing money on it. Next!

    Who conned congress in the late 90's to go for increased Credit Default Swaps?

    Greenspan lent credence to the lobbyists but it was the congressmen themselves who were in favor of the deregulation. No con was involved except maybe on the American people.

    I haven't heard a single competent economist talk favorably about the plan. That worries me.

    Obama- The over hyped unproven theory.

    NeoRio1 maybe you could give an example of what something that is presidential in your view looks like? From what I know of Obama he's exercised what could be considered some executive functions in the role of an editor. True he was merely a student at the time but the publication was the...

    Which BANK stock is a good one to invest in?

    American banks? Wells Fargo US Bancorp For another option I hear Toronto Dominion looks fairly good too. Considering its increasing exposure it might as well be an American bank.

    Obama- The over hyped unproven theory.

    How does one "prove" oneself in the OP's mind? Obama is proving himself everyday from what I can see. What is an adequate test? Every test being put before him on this campaign he is passing. If you are going just by bullet points. Obama's record is as impressive as any of the others...

    Ben Stein Says 'Bailout' Is A Scam: Use Money To Bailout Homeowners Directly

    I'm not sure this addresses the problem. The problem from what I understand is that the conveyor belt of money has seized up. It is not circulating as it should but is instead clogged up in the banks who are unwilling to lend. Going directly to the homeowners if my analogy is right is akin to...

    A Letter Against the Bailout Plan

    Well before we get to the $62 trillion in CDS most people have never dealt with and probably don't know about maybe it is good to bear in mind the maybe smaller but more close to home $7 trillion in money markets that have started to see the effects with one breaking the buck. It's one thing...

    INDEPENDENTS See Obama As Winning Debate

    In truth it is not the moderator's job. It is the audience's. If the audience checks out and verifies the facts, then it becomes clear that the one making the accusations is either telling the truth or not. In my view the one on the other side of the accusations job is to make it clear...

    Bailout or no Bailout?

    A recent IMF study says that the projected loss of economies involved in recent financial crises averaged around 16% of GDP. The 700 billion being talked about is roughly equivalent to 4% of GDP and that might be made back. Based on the evidence I've seen the cost of not doing anything is...

    Even if I was a DIE-HARD Republican I could NOT vote for PALIN

    Dave hate to point this out but summa cum laude means "with supreme honors" so technically speaking that would be top of the class. That said magna cum laude from Harvard is nothing to sneeze at. Neither is being the editor of the Harvard Law Review and the first African American one to...

    Even if I was a DIE-HARD Republican I could NOT vote for PALIN

    George W. Bush is a former governor of Texas. Did his experience help? What was obvious from the way he governed was that he used the buddy system to get and instill loyalty. To get others to support him he created bogeymen and used ideological brinksmanship painting everything in...

    Dan Zanger now shorting MA, RIMM, APPL and AMZN 4 horsemen

    What kinds of charts does he put up? Was looking at the daily for these four stocks on June 6 trying to decipher what he was seeing and I couldn't see anything. I was finally able to see something that I thought made sense but I had to alter my perspective a bit. Was wondering if my guess was...
