That's a great line... lmao. Chas, with all respect to your posts, I must agree that the amount of BS and propaganda the gov't has been spewing since 9/11 is truly staggering, and so far almost all of it has been directed at a reduction of liberty and an increase in Federal power. I for...

excellent point.

That is my point: the powers in control of these corporations, for whatever reason, have decided they favor a particular type of entertainment, ergo that is what is presented, to the exclusion of others. The same may hold true for particular political causes or cantidates, and is especially...

I wish I had a good answer, other than trying to discuss it and spread awareness... I strongly favor libertarian ideas, and I find myself leaning more that way every time a new "post-9/11" measure is introduced. However, this is somewhat of a "externality," for lack of a better term (in that...

No, you are correct. MTV is not a government sponsored initiative. Astute. My point is that, despite a large "quantity" of information available, nearly all of it is controlled by a select group of companies - AOL or Disney for example: they own movie studios, video games, broadcast...

For those that have not read it, do so. If I could I'd make 1984 required reading in every school. As for the reduction in language, remember the reasoning behind it was to reduce the available means of communication - by limiting speech the range of expression is limited, and eventually...

TRUE, TRUE! If you haven't yet, one of the better moves you can make is to cut that crap out of your life completely - you'll be amazed at the effect...

Not taking a position in this either way, but I came across an article in the Tech that hit on this exact subject - figured you might enjoy reading it: http://www-tech.mit.edu/V122/N28/Col_Zuberi.28c.html

awesome.

true - 1 & 2 are not contradictory.

I think you have to set Sept. 11-21 apart - not sure if you can call that a "bottom," in the traditional sense anyway. It was caused by conditions almost completely exterior to the market, an impulsive panic and emotion on a scale not seen in a generation or longer in the US, several days...

Watch C-Span. or go to law school. :D

Matt - I admit ignorance on the S/L crisis, but a guy who knows a lot about it claims the tax shelter schemes of the early 80's played a major role. As I understand it, at the time the depreciation rates were much higher on real property, and over a shorter time period. This was coupled with...

FWIW, I'd sell the car. Any girl basing her affection on your car is only good for a "trade" (scalp or swing, depending) -- and you might start thinking about "investing" in a girl soon... you can always rent a nice car for the trades :D

I noticed this morning on CNBC, during the segment where she graciously educates the hapless viewers as to WHY the market does what it does that she was going on about how it's now time to begin *shorting REITs* and was delivering the obligatory brokerge house hype on the sector... food for...

Great thread, guys. Really got me thinking - thanks. :cool:

couldn't agree more... nothing like Saratoga in the summer

So then, the point of all this hysterical ranting and whining by this Ginsberg guy is what? Does he hope to lure subscribers to a stock-picking service by insulting them?
