probably a fabrication, someone who actually had that happen wouldn't post on a yahoo message board...

home prices nearly tripled from 1970 to 1980. Makes sense to me as a house is more of a "hard" asset and these tend to increase during high inflation. link: http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/housing/census/historic/values.html

this is hopeful, but still it will take a long time before there is a chance of the act being repealed.

I haven't found one, but marketwatch does show historical option charts.

most people are sheep when it comes to numbers. They blindly follow what the media reports, and actually understanding how inflation is reported is hard for most people to understand.

who knows, I see all sorts of estimates, from 30-300k. In reality its quite difficult to figure out and people just find a number that fits in with their point of view.

interesting, do you have any examples of shorts that genesis has but IB doesn't?

deflation ha, I'd be more worried about hyperinflation with the money supply, debt, and commodities going up the way they are. And this comes from kiyosaki, one of the biggest permabears out there.

' well only know about Phoenix and Tucson, they aren't booming.

sure a lot of rich folks have people do the grunt work for them, but they still had to do a lot of hard work to get all those people and make sure they do the work right, something very few can do.

I don't understand why you guys make this a big deal. The market isn't even up that much compared to anything in the 90s and the steady trend is a good thing for most people.

how many 2% UP days have we had recently?

AXR and GROW seem particularly interesting considering their low float size and high rankings. Usually smallcaps do quite well in january, I would like to see how these two do.

-trade more aggressively -be less distracted during lull hours
