True, you'd be surprised at just how many people like CNBC and Cramer. Basically the majority who are interested in stocks but DON'T work directly in the markets. They hang onto every word this crappy channel says. And that's our problem (well, not mine because I can't remember the last...

Yep, you're so right there. And most of its citizens so easily swayed and influenced by the flag waving propaganda - a la the Soviet Union.

Steal money.

Read in the Economist a few months back that average property (residential) in Hong Kong and Japan were down 40% and 50% respectivly over 10 years. What's interesting in both cases is when those markets were booming maybe 1 out of 100 people would have believed that sort of price decline was...

I've got an HP laptop, AMD Turion HL34 chip, 1GB Ram. Cost £700 a year ago. I also run a intel dual core 6300 with 2GB of very high quality RAM. So guess which one is the fastest? One would think the dual core but no it's the laptop. PS. Hotmail was 10 years old last month. So...

Nope, he's right in general. Commission scamming, interest rate scamming, churning the list goes on and on. Can't remember who it was who said 'the definition of capitalism is the passing of money to one entity to the next until there's nothing left'. And that right there is Wall Street...

Japanese buying. Toyota Pension (although it might have been Kawasaki Heavy) shifting out of US Bonds into Euro debt. So I've heard anyway.

Mugs. Should have moved to London and done it in the UK market. Everyone knows that virtually NOBODY gets caught in London.

Why? "NATIONAL SECURITY" of course - what a joke. Reminds me of the ludicrous quote Bush made soon after September 11th - "Americans deserve a higher stockmarket" Can anyone tell me why they deserve higher stock prices because I cannot work this out?

Yeah, love all the boasting threads that go on here. I've always had a pretty good rule to spot the best traders, and more importantly the ones who normally always stayed in business the longest. They were always the ones that NEVER talked about money, how much they made/lost etc.

Yep, I agree 100%. Most of the short term mugs spunk their cash on the 'cost of doing business' but the want action, action, action everyday. Well, action is certainly what they get but in the form of losses:D :D :D Always exceptions to the rule of course but not many.

I doubt it John. Nazi Germany would have fallen to the Soviets and then the rest of Europe would have also. So in about 3 years America would have lost its largest and richest market. So no, the US was not as 'kind' to Europe as most of its citizens believe. Entering the war was...

Forget about contrary indicators they are only useful when the crowd/public get involved. And right now Gold is not even on their radar. The only buyers of gold have been the gold bugs (but that's all they do) and forward looking long term investors looking for some insurance, putting 5% of...

Loser troll:D

If you do upgrade (and there are enough 'early adopters' out there) whatever you do DON'T buy the 'Home Basic' version which doesn't come with the sexy Aero interface. Instead shell out more $ for the 'Home Premum' version. Also, apart from the SP2 argument it's most probably best to...

You see, I didn't read this post until after I posted my comment. I don't know the Samsung Blakjack but don't discount what this company is producing because it has some outstanding products at good prices. Of course though many of your shallow 'friends' won't think of you as that cool...

I still like the ultra cheap Nokia, can buy them on Amazon for around £25 (including £10 phone credit). Sturdy, small, light and are great for making............. surprise surprise........ telephone calls! Yes, unsurprisingly that's what many still want their phone to do, not tell...

Watch it Americans 'dem terrorists are everywhere :D :D :D :D :D

. Why? Are you niave enough to think that everything they own makes money? Forget about what Goldman is doing, you'll never know anyway and concentrate on doing your own research.

So is New York still standing or what? Some people will believe anything :D
