I like any little bounce here.

We were very 'oversold'. We were at major support levels. Gloom and doom headlines everywhere. End of quarter/year is almost here. Good chance of more upside here.

Had to do it. Happy turkey day all.

Too bad you were long through it all, huh.

Is that number correct from this morning? Never saw it that high, possible rally time?

Yes, all other currencies are strengthening due to globalization. It is not that the dollar is weakening due to our fiscal policies. Too funny.

The US dollar index strengthened nearly 20% from 1992 to 2000. This is different than inflation. http://www.gold-eagle.com/editorials_03/milhouse021603.html

The post saying the dollar declined 20% during the Clinton years was just wrong. The dollar actually strengthened about 20% during those fiscally responsible years.

I agree Frame. Loopholes, classifications as who is well to do, all screwed up by the government. But the fact is the really rich pay too little in taxes. I think the best solution would be to get rid of income tax altogether and just have a sales tax and low taxes on capital gains...

Absoloutely. Need to raise taxes on the well to do, they are currently very low. This will help the middle class, which will help the whole country including the well to do. Unfortunately not many people get this. http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/money/tax/article1996735.ece

Having low interest rates is likey to devalue a currency. Heard of the carry trade? Increasing the money supply substantially is going to devalue a currency unless there is a greater demand for the currency. What happened to "capitalism" and letting free markets dictate the interest rate.

So let me get this straight. You have International degrees from two universities but you think I am an idiot because I asked where you got your stats. Hmmmm? Did you even read past the first paragraph of what you just linked to? It says 77% of the population live ABOVE the poverty line. That...

Wow Jayford, Sounds like somebody hasn't gotten laid in a while. I simply asked for some kind of reference that 66% of China is in "complete poverty." Having traveled extensively I understand that the perceptions most people from the US have of other countries are way, way out of wack. Do you...

1 - Not kept rates so low for so long 2 - Not increase and increase the money supply 3 - Not spend, spend, spend like drunken sailors 4 - Maybe have done something in when the mortgages were getting rediculously out of control 5 - Not sent us in to an unwinnable war Not much they can do...

Two thirds of China's population in poverty. Where did you come up with that number? China has a steady growing 'middle-class' the opposite of the US where the 'middle-class' is shrinking. History shows a strong, growing middle class goes hand in hand economic prosperity.

Etrade got heavy into mortgages, TDAmeritrade didn't.

If someone was making those returns, why would they be interested in your 10K???

And could you please name a few domestic products you have purchased lately or that we purchase on a regular basis.

What would turn you bearish? A close on the S&P below???

Would be cool if Wal-mart bought a WM or another bank!
