Protests abound in many of the worlds capitols with regard to the squashing of basic rights of humankind in Iran. The question that comes foremost in my mind is weather Iranian nationals around the word will conscript a fighting force and retake their homeland in the name of Freedom and...

I've made this point in prior posts: When the CA electorate rejects an admendment to restrain spending only to the level of revenue collections bankruptcy is only a matter of time.

Radarscreen is frozen. Application is locked up. Had problems since most recent windows live update. This patch seems to have fouled-up Tradestation. Anyone else having this?

I disagree. Obama has not stated that he intends to repeal key provisions of the Community Investment Act-which ultimatly led to the credit bubble. You can be sure, after a few short years this mess will begin to sort itself out, and then politicians will begin pressureing banks and mortgage...

California is a testament to what happens when social idealists take control of a Gov. All sence of frugality is thrown aside. In many ways the California electorate reflects the debt addicted mindset of the average American.

Where I live in San Diego county medicinal use of pot is legal as long as you have a "prescription" from a licensed MD. Most users have their own "Garden" in the home whereby they hone their horticulture skills. Where medicinal pot is legal home gardening takes on a whole new meaning...

One problem here is that so many pot smokers grow their own stash and thus would skip on any tax revenue. Not that I object to legalization, but as a revenue source I Think it would be disappointing. I do wonder if big pharma feels threatened by this. It will be interesting to see how their...

As probably the only person on this board who has worked for Popeye's Fried Chicken in the past I can say this is exceptionaly funny. By the way I get really pissed off when My local Popeye's runs out of extra spicy and I am almost albino white.

I also traded with Cy in the past. Never had any problems. Operation seems very sound and organized. Chat room forum is a good resource for trades. As good as any of the pro firms out there that require series 7 in my opinion.

I do wonder how the Carbon Trading industry is doing in Europe these days? Not long ago the Wall St. Journal caught the Chinese red handed in a scam wereby several electric utilities in Europe were required by law to offset their carbon release from newly constructed power plants. These...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_Reinvestment_Act The Community Reinvestment Act mandated affirmitive action principiles be applied to mortgage lending. By "Affirmative Action" I do not mean in the racial sense, but from the perspective that people who have poor credit and...

So the Gov. is gonna run the car the car industry now? Sounds like another train wreck in-the-making. Do you believe that BO will abrogate the union contracts like a bankruptcy judge would? I seriously doubt' it. Will the appionted reciever make decisions absent from political influence? You...

OK wise guy-or girl? I'm not sure. In answer to your questions I happen to be middle age. Did not finish high school. Never attended collage. I employ more people than you probably ever will, and I pay more in tax this year than you will ever make. Just a guess. Maybe I'm wrong. I am old...

OK, my spelling is a little off after a few beers on Sat. But the fiscal warning still stands. To think that printing dollars to the moon will have no consequence is quite delusional. I maintain that BO is ethier not as smart as he sounds or he is intentionaly in orchistrating a collapse of the $$.

Inasmuch as I dissagree BO on almost all issues, I do respect the forthrightness of his candor. With the notable exception of earmark reform BO was very clear about where he stood in terms of philosophy. There was no secret here. The people voted him with the full understanding of what he was...

It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried. Winston Churchill

Thanks for clairifing this. I believe a good geopolitical strategy would be to subsidise this industry so as to drive the world price per barrell down to the point where we bankrupt the Saudi's, Cheves, and the Russians.

This may go down in history as a dead cat bounce in the most classical terms.

I seriously propose that we put Washington DC up as collatoral for any new loans from China. When default occurs -as it surely will-then DC will be their problem-not ours!
