That reply of his was nothing but arrogance. As if he is the be-all, end-all authority on the matter. More to the point, how is it that after nearly 10 years and enough convincing evidence to the contrary of the official report, I find myself reading more of these type of responses...

Right, you don't deal in certainties, just how much your belief system weights those "probabilities" you speak of. What an arrogant douchebag you are.

Exactly right. Roark is living under some set of delusions.

I don't disagree. We have a thriving white collar criminal class operating at the top, while the streets of many cities are held hostage by gangs, thugs, etc, etc...

Gee, you never heard of "white flight"? Flint, Michigan is a good example for starters. But we won't go there.

Exactly, I have no idea why this concept is so hard to understand. Of course, we can all sit around and find the exceptions rather than the rule, which this thread has so far provided. More to the point, alot of this cost of living arbitrage has been a very slow and steady trend for years...

Realist.

The black population must be downright giddy that the entire blame for the downfall of the USA has been laid at the step of illegal immigrants. It's almost comical how one sided and illogical all of this has become. The numbers clearly evidence that blacks commit the vast majority of crime...

A huge exception to say the least. I've never heard of an associate rising to partner inside of 3 years at a major law firm. The obvious point of the article is that the debt incurred to attend many of these law schools just does not make sense any longer, if the industry has peaked and...

Then give us a play by play of crude oil from 1998 to present. If it wasn't speculation what caused crude to go from $10 to $150 and then back down to $40?

Basically I agree with your analysis, as I've often argued that there has been far too much speculative money chasing commodities creating numerous bubbles and crashes in recent years. I felt that the move in crude oil a few years back was a case study in a self reinforcing feedback loop. The...

No kidding about that. What kind of numbers are we talking about nowadays for a semester's worth of textbooks? In addition to the $40,000+ for tuition, room & board, etc... I'll never be able to wrap my head around this idea that college at a private university can cost $200,000. Gimme a...

He's very good and he's been at it for many, many years. Sure, the market in recent times has made a fool of many well traveled traders. It's very hard to handicap a market with so much dependence on subsidies.

I knew it. You clearly got a case of the "little man's disease", a Napoleon Complex. That explains why every NFL QB is only 6'2 to you. Like Flacco who is a bonafide 6'6.

The bottomline is Andrew Luck is better than both of them. Just as athletic, great speed, great arm and the kid is very bright. (Although it is a bit questionable why he'd return to school when he'd be the top pick in the draft).

Sounds good in theory doesn't it? Maybe a few states with semi-rational leaders would get the message and take on the unions and their financial burden. On the other hand, all that such an action would do is encourage the states to jack up the state tax rates to obscene levels to make up the...

Without question, the most ignorant and asinine thing that you have posted yet. I only wish we had free, unregulated markets. No government backstops, no get out of jail free cards. If that were the case, almost none of these asset bubbles we've seen in the last 15 years would have...
