HeSaidSheSaid, that’s a good breakdown of FB’s current and probable price targets. I agree that we could easily see $50 for FB. It has one of the largest returning customer bases of any web site in the world and it has figured out a good mobile strategy. That alone makes it an appealing...

I’ve also never understood the concept of the US Federal Reserve. It seems like a pointless middle man that costs the US taxpayer money in interest?

This poses a problem for state bonds and bond funds. Are states really any more solvent than Detroit? Can we assume that, say, California or New York will not have to pull a similar maneuver in the future?

It’s way to early to call the top on the S&P yet. The market might be getting there but there’s really nothing to support that theory. I personally thought it wouldn’t be able to easily break through 15,000 DOW let alone 15,500 we’re at now.

I still hate how much power the Feds have over the market though. Just look recently when the Feds opened their mouth and the dollar dropped.

Just wanna say to the OP: awesome pic! Lol king Bernanke!

I love these posts that basically say “prepare”. The question is how? If the US economy goes down the whole world basically does as well. The best preparation then would be to have a farm

Any chance we’ll be seeing some videos soon? I’ve been reading some of the posts but I think the videos would make it clearer. Even if you have some old videos, I wouldn’t mind seeing them.

The Fed needs to get out of QE. The moment Bernanke opens his mouth the market either goes up 300 points or down 300 points. The Federal Reserve should not have such an influence on trillions of dollars of wealth.

How long will it take to get below DOW 10,000 again? A recession could definitely make that happen even if it’s not a 90% correction.

I second the suggestion that “blah” made earlier. Doing those 5 tasks in any language would give you a good idea of how to learn it. There are some advantages to certain languages, but for the most part they all try and do the same thing. Python is one of the easiest to learn IMHO as well as...

This could quite possibly be the case. I’m not sure how much higher the bull market has to run? DOW 16000? S&P 1700? It seems like P/E ratios are starting to get really elevated across the board.

I have been following the US housing market situation and it does look to me to be like another bubble. The question is who’s financing it? Are these really just investment companies? Is it record low interest rates? If the interest rates were, say, 6% would people all of a sudden stop buying...

I don’t think you can fight the online education bandwagon. It makes too much sense for a lot of different topics. Sure some will be hard to teach online, but I could see a lot of hybrid classes that have a part online and part real world component.

The problem is that education, not with the intent of getting a job, is good in theory but the costs are getting so high that it’s just not feasible, unless as some of the posters have mentioned, you just happen to have super wealthy parents. But what many people don’t realize is that...

I have a bunch of drool on my keyboard after reading this thread. These cars are insanely awesome!

I would also like to see what an education would be worth without any loans whatsoever. Then again I’d like to see what the value of anything – including the market – would be without any credit…

I agree. I just saw that on your American news site CNN and it was terrible. My condolences to everyone involved._

I second the idea of videos! It’s somewhat hard to follow with text at times… I think it would be good to have TradersStudio open and follow along with a video beside it.

Wow? $1 trillion in debt for student loans… That seems like an insane amount to owe just for an education. Does anyone honestly believe that the value of the education is worth that much?
