Bill I see your point and am not trying to knock you but say you short dollar/yen at 84.53 today and want to cover it sometime over the next few days at 82.87. Why not enter the limit order and if it goes through it then who cares, you've got your fill and are happy. The above position...

Just remember that Homeland security asked Walmart workers to report their friends/neighbours if they thought they posed a security risk. Now, where have we seen that sort of behaviour encouraged before? Surely it couldn't happen in the 'land of the free' :) But don't worry Americans...

Wonder if it will filter through to the US sometime over the next year or so............. Maybe Europe first. A load of bloodless coups is what we need. Chuck the useless incumbents out, re-organise everything without having to worry about being re-elected then have proper elections again...

The stat used to be 3 months = 1 internet year. Similar to cats/dogs lives etc That's too much now but anyway the 1980s are about 75+ years from where we are at present. Sadly Jobs looks like he's going yet aapl is down 2% so the market doesn't seem to rate his non-presence that much...

The reason why Jobs is now no good for Apple is because he isn't letting the company open up it's software and the like. Over his dead body excuse the pun. If/when he (sadly) passes you see what the ALREADY in place management team does. Jobs is at present getting to be like the old Henry...

Ninna is right, Jobs IS holding Apple back these days. Sure he got the massive snowball rolling but if he (sadly) dies the company will show its true potential. Remember everyone, the way to make money in the markets is to think away from the crowd. The crowd think Apple is Jobs but this is...

The good ol' Land of the Free Become a spy for your country and inform on your neighbors and friends. Now, in which countries have we seen this sort of behaviour in the past? Soviet Union, North Korea, East Germany etc etc. I used to love going to America on holiday, great times. Don't...

But it has only 1 proper motorway in the whole country and that has ox-carts and other animals all over it. It's not asking too much for a soon-to-be economic superpower to have proper roads is it? Facts like this is why I believe India is going to find it so hard to live up to everyone's...

India hasn't got a chance of being what everyone things it can be unless it sorts out its decrepit infrastructure. It might have a lot of people many of them middle class but the country as a whole is basically a 5th world one and you can't be an economic superpower without really solid...

Ahhh, Crystal champagne. Possibly the worlds number one tool to transfer money from dumb wannabees to the smart :) And you drank it from a red cup whatever the hell that is. Does it taste better that way, and are you ripped off any more on the price?

I like the Nederlands it's a good place to live but only if you can stand the tightness/meanness of the Dutch when it comes to money. They will argue and stand firm over a single cent, no joke, and that's between good friends!

Has anyone actually been to India and seen what a complete mess its infrastructure is? It's not even 3rd world, more like 5th. For example, I think the country has 1 proper 3 lane motorway but then has donkey carts and cows going up and down. I spoke to an Indian lady on a plane coming back...

Got to love the media putting the blame on those naughty and very greedy speculators. How about the politicians for not putting proper plans in place, tax breaks for new agric. investment that sort of thing. Same with the energy companies here in the UK. All very well to blame them for...

Peak food is never going to happen because of one word Africa. It's just a matter of time before some of the bigger countries or firms do deals with African states to lease and clear a lot of their fertile land to put down agric products and then export it. Looks like a win-win to me for...

Of course they don't hunt, it's not worth the money. But they do specialise in the most unhelpful customer service in the industry. Anyone ever had a favour from them, I doubt it.

Why not just have a debt floor, then Washington could boast all it wants about 'staying within its means' :)

I like the one where Wall St was having a hard time shifting "Trailer Loans" for obvious reasons. So they renamed them 'Manufactured Housing Loans' and they then shot off the shelf :) Got to love America when it comes to selling/marketing, they're the world's best, no doubt about that.

The best private pensions are the ones they can't touch or even know about. Investing in classical Jewellery is one good idea. If you buy quality pieces in the $1000-$5000 range they're easy to sell on and don't really lose value, only ever go up (but don't expect to make a fortune, just...

I remember when Rupert Murdoch was crowing about how at $500million it was a steal and how great the deal was. Well he was half right, it was great for the sellers :)

This guy makes out his fund is original and stocked full of unbelievable talent. So why not try to convey that in the company's letters instead of the usual inane softcore corporate speak which sounds like every other company. Publish the next one somebody, I guarantee it will read the same.
