For anyone in a charitable mood, take a look at http://laptopgiving.org/en/index.php its it the olpc project that provides low cost laptops to children all over the world. You can buy one for your child and pay for one to be sent out. My kids are small, so I participated. I...

Take it easy oldschool. having a directional bias and picking the right stock is truly the bulk of decision making when it comes to options trading/investing. If you traded futures and such, (which you have) then you know this to be true. Instead of having an "options expert" write out...

Most of the people who are warning you are speaking from experience. Trading on earnings reports which tend to be among the news items that move the stock the most (barring force majeure, bankruptcy etc) carries more risk than trading fundamentals and trends. You as a retail investor...

Is India reliant on offshoring or is the US? I'd say a bit of both. India isn't a superpower because of offshoring, it got there on its own, developed its own nuclear arsenal, and happens to export professional services vs LCD tv's, microchips and supertankers (Korea) offshoring in the...

I thought that the specialist was just accumulating inventory and moving paper?

NO. people need a place to live, if they cant afford a mortgage and downpayment.. they rent... thats life. right now supply is much greater than demand in the housing market, this wont work its way out for quite some time.

Sorry Poole, even small aliquots of stock_turder may be tax-deductible as entertainment expense?

Good call turder

thats it I guess... the end of the surge? Whoever picked up those share at 12.50 had a nice percentage gain! I wonder where efficency went in all this? He was in full attack mode all the way down. 11Blade

Rising commodity prices are non-inflationary - I guess that means rising prices of the by products of commodities like food, energy, clothing, construction materials isn't inflationary either.. Gas and Energy prices may be in line with the true rate of inflation, just not the one reported by...

I am surprised by the general callous disregard for the human condition. Given that almost everyone on here likely is fairly affluent, perhaps instead of blaming the poor on being stupid being fat being lazy walk a week in their shoes, try being a single mother with kids, paying...
