    LEH to report earnings tomorrow, WED 7:30am

    It was probably moved up for this reason, another week of speculation like this and stock will be at zero before they even have a chance to lie next week.

    Why the S&P 500 Should Be Strangled

    The only thing that should be strangled is the author of the article. Nowhere does he mention RISK of naked positions or volatility (which is slightly important for options trading).

    Paulson Says Fannie, Freddie Plan Puts Taxpayers First

    Ok but this was what I was getting at (This has more to do with owing tax before you renounce citizenship): Also, persons who wish to renounce U.S. citizenship should also be aware that the fact that a person has renounced U.S. citizenship may have no effect whatsoever on his or her U.S. tax...

    Why doesnt Radio Shack go bankrupt?

    All of the electronic parts are usually worth about $0.02 cents marked up to $0.99 cents, but you're paying for the convenience and its well worth it in small amounts. Not sure if this is true anymore, but many radio shack items were manufactured by reputable companies. For example, their...

    Bizzare - and if you believe it, most think you are a crackpot

    I dont know - I have a few comments on the 9/11 aspect of this article. People miss flights all the time, so just by sheer statistics there is a chance someone would have missed being on one of those planes or would have changed plans at the last minute. Also: "All the hijacked planes were...

    Stronger growth rates under Democratic administrations

    My original point was that I disagreed with someone in the NY Times article who stated Obama demonstrated strong leadership by voting present so many times. So since you didn't agree with me, I was curious and asked you to explain why this would be true…(seems tough to do right?) Anyway...

    Stronger growth rates under Democratic administrations

    Theres a BIG difference between changing your mind based on new facts (which I agree is fine), and changing your mind to get more votes, even if it means lying through your teeth...

    Stronger growth rates under Democratic administrations

    Fair enough, so maybe you can explain how that policy demonstrates strong leadership? (And not political opportunism by avoiding transparency - ie actually voting and taking a position)

    Stronger growth rates under Democratic administrations

    ??? This is the exact point the republicans are trying to make. He avoided voting "yes" or "no" for politically-motivated reasons. He is an even bigger bullshit artist than Bush and yet you hang on every word/speech he says. There is nothing more hypocritical than bashing repubs for...

    Investors in a bind?

    What would Warren Buffet do? I find it irritating how the market moves so much faster now than it used to. People have pointed this out before but moves that used to take a week or two now take a day or two because of automation. You pretty much have to be a day trader and/or babysit all...

    govt bail out of fannie mae and this monday...SP tanks or soars?

    Again, I'm really not seeing the point of this. How would it not have been as dramatic? If you are implying the government would have more money to support/bail out the mortgage and real estate market, that would probably just delay the crisis indefinitely, preventing prices from falling to...

    Stronger growth rates under Democratic administrations

    You are absolutely right. I wouldn't consider GW a typical republican though... Isn't it Obama and friends that want more tax rebates?? The debt is going up no matter who is in office.
