    Boomers Got Hooked on Stocks. Now They Can’t Let Go.

    It you have enough money that the volatility isn't a problem, why not? If you have just enough money for yourself go ahead and be conservative, but if you have enough that you'll have sizeable amount left over why not? I'm not saying buy super riksy nonsense, but if I was 65 with $5million...

    American Investment Banks Give Up Some China IPO Mandates

    All those words and not a single mention of the word "fraud". Sometimes it feels like these mainstream news sources leave you less informed after reading than before. If you want to know why people aren't buying check out a short seller like Muddy Waters Research...

    Stock Clearinghouse to Suspend Data Feed Criticized for Leaking Trading Info

    Our feeds were of no value whatsoever, which is why people paid for them! What a bunch of nonsense. I was I had the connections to start my own dtcc and exchange. All orders would execute every 5 min and must be valid for at least 10 min. Not settlement window. Instant settlement every 5...

    Switching Lanes

    I don't think I'm going to hit a jackpot, I'm just looking for a reasonable rate of return. I think too many people go in with crazy expectations of getting rich overnight. You never mentioned what kind of returns you were trying to achieve.

    The Dollar Is Still King in Europe, and It’s Swaying Interest Rates

    Do you really think that Europe is going to get its finances in order better than the US? (Serious question) The way I see it the Euro is doomed. Over a dozen countries sharing a common credit card account... There's no incentive to get one's house in order. I don't think it will go out right...

    The Dollar Is Still King in Europe, and It’s Swaying Interest Rates

    With the fed rushing $3.1 billion to Switzerland, I would say no consideration of this topic is complete without considering the issues related to banking. I get feeling that there's a potential crisis over there, but I don't know enough to put my finger on it. I get the impression that...

    How much did you buy? I believe if it's less than 100 shares you won't update the price.

    IBM To Replace 7.800 Jobs With A.I

    Well if you're sure about it why would anyone ever bother to engage their brain and think about what it really does costs? Let's me know when cars become ridiculously cheap too! Just a few more years and I'm sure they'll finally have economies of scale allowing them to be 100x cheaper. /Sarc...

    IBM To Replace 7.800 Jobs With A.I

    So you show me a video of a robot walking for a whole 50 seconds, carrying no load and using no tools in any confined space? What did that robot cost to build and develop? How many years could you pay a plumbers salary instead of developing that robot, which can't do the job we are talking...

    IBM To Replace 7.800 Jobs With A.I

    The looks to me like a company that is thin on strategies for the future trying to scoop up money from AI giddy investors. Keep in mind this is the same IBM that bought Red Hat at quite a high price. I find it funny how this article applys a bunch of action verbs to this "decision" as if it's...

    IBM To Replace 7.800 Jobs With A.I

    How do people fall for this crap? Say I need a toilet installed in my house. A freaking AI and a robot are going to do it? I suggest you go try and build a robot to perform an exceptionally simply task, because you seem to have no comprehension of the myriad of difficulties in replacing most...

    Would you use this research website? CEOfyi

    I would like to see a feature to track conflicts of interest on corporate boards. In some situations, everyone is on the board of each other's corporation and they vote each other pay raises regardless of performance. It would be nice to know what percentage of a board has additional...

    Will the next big news on banks be bailouts or bail-ins?

    I would think the big news would be a drop in asset prices. That will force everyone's hand. As long as prices stay up they can borrow and say "look at all this collateral we have". If asset prices plunge, more banks go bankrupt, more people pull their money, repeat.

    What are you presently reading?

    The most interesting part of this book was the early discussion of market surveillance, detecting terrorist threats and insider trading. Think about what happen if you applied an analysis program like he discusses to something like the Bitcoin network. I find the stuff about a BRICS currency...

    First Republic Lost $100 Billion in Deposits in Banking Panic

    First Republic Lost $100 Billion in Deposits in Banking Panic

    Why even take the risk? I do not understand it. It's like leaving your stove on as you leave the house because "I've got insurance." So what? Why take the risk when it's so easy to go somewhere else? I do not understand why even supposed professionals fail to act when a bank faces obvious...
