You logic here is completely invalid because you are looking at the ss return as an equal investment option. The main problem with social security is that the politicians have misappropriated the funds. That is an undeniable fact.

For everyone talking about the "truth" I have not seen it printed here. There is currently a SS surplus meaning that ss payments are less than ss receipts. The surplus is spent as the surplus is less than the deficit spending. SO currently congress is spending all the ss surplus and more by...

I've heard the story of the Trillions in derivatives and had always thought the same; there are shorts and longs so it doesn't matter what happens...someone will get the cash. BUT what if the winners cannot collect from the losers? That's where a real problem could arise.

CPI Yield curve effect If CPI comes in hot tommorrow, and I don;t know how it couldn't, shouldn't the 30year get smacked worse then the 10yr. Makes sense to me but these bonds are all over the map lately.

Anyone out there have any thoughts on the NOB spread? (Notes over Bonds). The spread went out at +20 ticks. The highest since 2004. I'm not that familiar with how this spread trades. I'm flat right now but I've legged into an ugly nob vs. synthetic option nob and I'm debating on leaving...

search the word gold on Mises.org and you'll get lot's of very detailed articles on why. Gold has been used as money for millenniums and is the reason the current fiat money systems were able to come into existence. The gold connection to the USD was severed permanently in 1971 which in...

yes, that looks pretty good. Is that code doing anything other than looking at the lowest low/highest high within a band of bars. For example lows identified with lowest low for 5 preceding bars and 5 following bars.

the circled interim highs are what I am trying to identify.

the problem is with that code, if the market is moving in one direction during those x bars the identified high or low will not appear to be a high or low on a chart

if you look at a long term chart of the nikkei and compare to the nasdaq composite they are eerily similar

Maybe a better question is why do you think it wouldn't? They plan to have it apply to real estate and there is no sales tax on real estate now.

You're absolutely correct and I already know this. I don't know why I continue to look for reason.

That would make sense on the short end but with inflation increasing and the dollar plummeting the long end is not really a value play

SO you're talking about the 14th amendment? <i> Amendment XIV Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. <b>No state shall make or enforce any law</b> which...

where did you read this? Last I read you were required to file a 2007 return by 4/15/08 to receive the refund.

Any ideas why this bond move would be sustainable. The move seems completely out of proportion with the down move in equities. The PPI was over 7% y-o-y. Who's buying sub 4% yields and why? I feel like I'm missing some part of the equation.

mandate from whom? if there is no written law then there is nothing to be tried in a court of law.

I understand where you're coming from and agree but what is the text of the law you are citing that gives equal protection. I would guess that the text of the law in question is written in a way to deny it's use for this purpose.

Well if you want to get technical, the statement is still false because people buying tech stocks (outside of IPOs) were not paying for the internet, they were simply buying an overvalued asset. :)
