    How secure are FDIC / SIPC protection?

    SIPC only covers your holdings up to 500k, of which it will only cover 100k that you have in cash that's bearing interest. In other words, any money in excess of 100k that's not invested in equities IS NOT COVERED in the event of a bankruptcy or other involuntary liquidation by a brokerage firm.

    New Year Fast Approaching: Bernanke = 2007 Jackass of the Year

    I respectfully disagree with you. Bernanke is interfering with the markets when he injects liquidity (i.e. taxpayer money) into the the banking and mortgage markets. He is impeding the ability of the markets to 'sort things out.' He also has stated on many occasions that the fed expects...

    New Year Fast Approaching: Bernanke = 2007 Jackass of the Year

    He's got my vote. He tells the American People with a straight face that inflation is contained, U.S. policy supports a strong U.S. Dollar, while he cuts interest rates (to no good effect), causing the dollar to plunge, inflation to surge, and then he adds insult to injury by using taxpayer...

    Ron Paul on Jay Leno's

    Ron Paul is the only candidate running who doesn't believe the federal government shouldn't be your nanny or master. He actually sincerely believes in a long ago lost concept in American society - personal responsibility, without unwarranted intrusion by an Orwellian power structure. He...

    Ron Paul Is For Real

    How do you know how 95% of American's feel about just one issue, let alone all of the issues, dddooo? Do you have any data to support that claim? BTW, Dean had a meltdown that cost him the nomination. That was the moment of his undoing. It is an irrelevant point in analyzing Paul's...

    Ron Paul Is For Real

    dddooo As Deepthroat told Woodward & Bernstein, "follow the money..." That'll be the litmus test. Don't underrate money as a proxy for support in our political system - especially grassroot groundswell cash.

    Bernanke's doing well

    If everyone voted for the best person, without regard to who will or might win, many of our elections would turn out much better, and our country would be better off. Ross Perot garnered 19% of the vote as a 3rd party Candidate in 1988. How many more people would have voted for him had the...

    Bernanke's doing well

    It's not implausible to think Ron Paul could get both nominated and elected if people at the grass roots level start spreading the word now. There's not much that could stop him once word gets out regarding his views. The American People are very angry right now. The hate the Bush...

    Dear Larry KudLow... Goldilocks Has Been Raped

    Kudlow is a wanker beyond reproach. When everyone gets a nice big tax hike in '08, it'll because the neo-Repubs scared the middle class shitless when it comes to job security (or lack thereof), and because our manufacturing base has been decimated (and because technology transfers were given...

    Ron Paul '08. Finally, a sane person who is running for the highest office in the land. Watch the media and lobbying dirty tricks begin. Don't let it deter you, though. Spread the word to neighbors and friends.
