Is that so? Sounds like you actually ARE passing judgement. In reality, I do believe that you are advancing the discussion, but I couldn't resist poking a little fun. I really can't imagine that someone as experienced with managers as you would use a 3 year window to determine if a...

I'm going to let you in on a little secret- You are in the Wall Street News forum. Do me a favor- start a thread about how you can beat ANY hedge fund manager over ANY time period, dealing in EVERY discipline and market. Then, walk away for about 30 minutes. Come back and see just how much...

Not unpatriotic, just not very concise. Believe me, I'd be thrilled if anyone would expand on the economic themes. Personally, I think that RP was shocked at how much traction he got during the primaries. He started out, if you remember, as a one-trick pony, and that was the Iraq war. As he...

Ron Paul, as I've said has some fine points of view, but he's a bit of a clown when it comes to expressing them. Remember, he's not just some pundit who sits on tv or in a radio studio. He's a MEMBER OF CONGRESS. He bears as much responsibility as anyone else in Congress for the problems he...

This is an often repeated claim: in truth there is an uncirculated list of about 94 banks that are being 'watched'. The parlor game now is 'who's next?' Really a waste of time http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080714/banks_earnings_preview.html

Apparently, I was too kind in lumping you into the 'nitwit' category. However, when I see someone such as yourself who is in such dire need some info, I will patiently explain this to you once and for all. Now, I know that 'fungible' came up today on your Word of the Day calendar, but you may...

they can ask their mom when she brings their lunch down to the basement where they live.

They merely saved Paul from himself- his Libertarian message may resonate with many, but he's not the best spokesman for this cause. Trust me, the sooner the Libertarians find a better spokesman, the sooner that movement will get traction. Ron Paul is getting close to teetering on the "silly...

Some of the nitwits in this thread are acting like EVERY hedge fund is run by a moron who can only buy the market and can't possibly prepare himself for a down market. The truth is, there is a wide variance in managers. I am involved in a fund of funds, with some great portfolio managers...

You've missed the point, but I will concede that giving away 55bil to charity is a magnificent act- and to give it to another foundation because he didn't feel that he had the capacity to administer the money is truly a selfless act devoid of ego. My point was, that when he goes on CNBC and...

Unbelievable- I don't remember ole WB proposing socialist/protectionist ideas like this while he was building his fortune. If he's proposing something like this, it's because he feels that it won't hurt BRK's constituent companies. Similar to his objection to repealing the death tax. Find out...

This article can be summed up very easlily. Conservatives are less than thrilled with McCain, and liberals have their man. The article says that levels of donations are down in general, so a smart read would be that the reason Obama is out drawing McCain is that his base is satisfied, rightly...

Be interesting to see how you 'act' on this heads up! From what I can see, hopefully it won't take time from you're incredibly successful ET posting career. Logic like yours aside, did you ever stop to think that the fact that people keep saying that speculation isn't to blame has NO...

To anyone who is using the Newsstrike service from Hold Bros: Are you getting any news from this? I am shown as being logged in, but haven't heard any news all day. Just wondering if anyone out there is having the same problem.

Prof- I've enjoyed reading some of your other posts, and I appreciate your point of view. Having said that, where would you suggest getting objective crop info, given your distrust of the USDA. Other than personal/anecdotal observation, what other RELIABLE info about these crops is available?

John Corzine is the FORMER head of GS- currently, he is a politician, and a hack at that. He WAS in a position to speak on these issues, but he is no more qualified to speak on them now than you are. Get back to me when the CURRENT head of Goldman issues this same statement. By the way, he...

Schiff IS a permabear- a broken watch is also right twice a day. Use whatever metaphor you can understand, but know this- If you are a bear, and run a business that benefits from investments in Europe and Asia doing better on a relative value than those in the US, then going on TV and...

Walter- you're a crackpot. You are posting in a trading forum, without even the slightest bit of knowledge of capital markets. You are going to use the words of an oil scientist to explain the workings of a open market structure. Don't waste your time. I'm sure you're really proud of your...

If speed is not an issue (scalping ect) then CQG will be fine for you- you also won't need the advanced trading features unless you want some of their enhanced orders such as trailing stops, Iceberg, DOM triggered stops, ect. The charting package is second to none, but the trading features are...

As a percentage of GDP Reagan's defense budget was fairly comparable to this administrations. Where GWB has gone wrong is his non-defense discretionary spending. It is off the charts- disgusting. If you're looking for a critique of Bush, that is where you'll start and end, not defense.
