If I can rent HBO and Showtime original shows for 99 cents a piece, I'll get one. There's some real kickass series from those outlets that I don't want to have to pay monthly for but would be happy to shell out a buck a piece for. But not much on broadcast TV that I even would watch for free.

Interesting analysis, but his solution to all of the trouble in the US is a protectionist import tax.

Loved this. Very well put.

I like how he's got a book for sale. :D What does he do when his laptop craps out? Or his stove? Or his underwear? I think his shtick is How to Live Really Cheaply. Of which there are already a bunch of books written. Not sure what makes this guy unique.

Shocking. That means Fidelity has 2.8 million 401k clients. I had no idea they were tha big.

My wife is at a company that has a 401k plan. We fully funded our IRA's last year and plan to again this year, so we'll have $10k socked away by year's end. Here's the plan for 2011: I'm going to open a forex account funded with the $10k and another forex account with $10k of my IRA. On Jan...

I think there should be a law that if you want to post here, you must learn the basics of punctuation, spelling and grammar. At the very least, you should capitalize the name of the nationality you seem to so dearly cherish.

You could look at it like this: if your money management says you only risk 1% of your trading capital per trade, and you need to risk $1000 to place a trade, then scrape up the $1000 and make the trade. Pretend like you also have the other $99k. Get a job and consider it future money that just...

The indicators you have mentioned were devised by authors who wanted to sell books. I have created several really cool looking indicators myself, that are just as accurate as the published ones. And just as unprofitable. Profitable indicators, the ones that really do spit out a green light...

After watching sales falling off for three straight months at Kentucky Fried Chicken, the Colonel calls up the Pope to ask for a favour. The Pope says, "What can I do?" The Colonel says, "I need you to change the daily prayer from 'Give us this day our daily bread' to 'Give us this day our...

Lol understatement of the day! The IRS has foreign nations change their laws to get its money: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/06/17/AR2010061703754.html A year ago I got the dreaded letter from the IRS regarding a business I sold my interest in. Turns out my ex...

GAAK! Foreign aid is foreign aid. That's an argument of religious nature. What pisses me off is the gov't meddling in an industry that is working so well without any gov't meddling. There is money to be made for the self-taught, money for the schooled, money for the academics, money for the...

Not all states have sales tax, not all states have income tax. But ALL states have property tax, and it is the biggest source of funding for local gov't. If housing prices fall too much, they will need to be re-assessed at a lower level and local gov't across the country will implode. Now we...

Create a pattern, wait for some other HFT shop to see it. Each time you do a particular pattern, you bump the stock a penny. Then once you see the other guy take the penny from you, you do the pattern once more and nail him for a dime. Trading can be a lot like poker.

Misthos, your on-the-ground reporting is fascinating, please keep it coming. May I ask what you do on the island? Born there, on assignment, retired to the Med?

So he lives in a house with wheels. There are lots of people who live in houses with wheels; when they get together, we call them trailer parks. I was driving around Arizona and stumbled on a small community of snowbirds. In case you don't know, snowbirds are folks who live in RV's and drive...

Why are the drivers on strike?

Did you try loading one chart at a time to see where performance becomes unacceptable?

The problem is that not everyone can be taught to be a techie at Apple, Microsoft, Intel, Cisco, Amazon, IBM, Google...etc...etc...etc, but everyone can be taught to bend steel. The technology sector is great to have, but because only a small percentage of your population can do it, it's not...
