He is a weak and uninsightful Fed Chairman in my opinion but on the bright side he is far more intelligent than the person who appointed him. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3PYsOr6ptQ&feature=related I state the Fed shoud do as follows: Up the Fed Rate by a 1/4 to 1/2 point over four...

In regard to inflation, yes we have more of it than the Federal Reserve will admit. The formula they use always strips out volatile food and energy costs but that form of inflation reporting needs some serious redefining. Food and energy prices have only been volatile in a one-way street, up...

http://www.ubuntu.com/dell Ubuntu is available from Dell although I have never used it. I have tried a smaller Linux distro called Puppy Linux. So small, you can completely boot it from a CD ROM with an additional 250MB file on your hard drive. Neat to have in case your Windows OS won't boot...

I know Gateway offered XP for laptops August of last year. I'm not sure if they still do or not. You can but a retail version of XP online from several outlets for about 90-100 dollars if you shop a bit. The pain is that you have to uninstall Vista from your new computer or buy a computer...

Even Annaly Capital Management finally lost stock value recently and that company seemed to be almost immune to the current credit crunch. I agree that a Fed loosening policy is a huge mistake in this set of circumstances. The Fed is causing a Commodities Bubble with present policy, similar to...

I've purchased new computers with every major OS in them since Windows 3.1 and in my opinion, Vista is an absolute failure. I have programmed for over 25 years and I have seen a lot of progress from pre-windows operating systems to 3.1 and the jump between 3.1 and 95. Most everything after 95...

I'm completely convinced that the Fed meetings are held around a circular table like the one used in the TV series That 70's show... you know, the "pot circle." I mean they must be smoking something, right? I certainly get the concept of lower the rates when the economy is slowing but this...

Between George and Ben we can't win. Neither of them seem to know what to do about the economy in my opinion. I vote C in that subject line. Ben states he sees inflation coming down. Bush won't admit we are in the start of a recession. The Fed moves to weaken the dollar which helps run up...

Some will agree and some will disagree with my thread title but my personal opinion of Ben Bernanke is this: He is a gutless and wrong. My take on the economy is this: Stop bailing out free enterprise. Banks are big enough to take care of the loan situation. All banks have to do is...

Is there inflation? Sure. Are CPI numbers reliable? I doubt it. The high level of U.S. employment should also place and upward push on wage inflation. Companies will have to pay more both to hire new workers and to keep the trained ones. But on the other side of the scale, I see a...

I think I'm going to like this forum... "Oh, and I immediately hit the off button as soon as I hear, "It's the greatest story never told" from Kudlow. " ...or, you could just turn to FOX News and take the antidote, a big heaping tablespoon of The O’Reilly Factor. That will bind you up...

I like some of the CNBC spots but not others. The million dollar portfolio or any trading games don't interest me. There is such a psychological difference between play money and real money and who wants to be a play money investor, anyway? Jim Cramer was a great addition, in my opinion. When...
