Yes, that statement is based on my opinion of what I think is likely short term. But, I do not think anyone has more than an opinion as to whether the trend of temperature rise since the last ice age 12,000 years ago will continue, stop, or descend into another ice age.

95% of the total greenhouse effect is due to water vapor in the earth's atmosphere. Man-made Co2 in the atmosphere amounts to only 0.117% of the total greenhouse effect. If humans totally eliminated their contribution to greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the earth's average air temperature...

We will again see high volatility and high volume when the markets think higher interest rates are imminent.

CO2 contributes 3.62 % to the total greenhouse effect from all causes. 3.23% of the total CO2 in the atmosphere is produced by humans. The CO2 produced by humans is 0.117% of the total greenhouse effect from all causes. Water vapor produces 95.0% of the total greenhouse effect from all causes...

The left say: "Can we all get along?"

The effects of global warming are having a huge impact on the human race from and due to the politically initiated laws, regulations, spending, and taxes. But man's total combined contribution to the worlds total greenhouse gases amounts to less than .28% (less than 1/3 of 1%). 95 % of the...

As I remember, following the IPO Dutch auction for 20 million shares of IBKR, Thomas Peterffy bought shares of two or more financial market related businesses. Following his lead, I bought shares of one of those companies but did not hold long enough to make more than a few bucks.

Why do you think he went public? I was thinking he took only a small part of his business public and held most privately; However, taking any part of the business public required disclosures about his business. My thinking is that the brokerage businesses are making next to nothing on the...

I agree there is some fraud within publicly traded companies, so for investors it is buyer beware like buying most things; However, I do not agree about stock prices being fixed. I think stock prices change due to speculative reactions to new and ever changing information.

Microsoft is the cancer of the world. The world is handcuffed by Microsoft and the world needs to remove the handcuffs and use an open-source operating system.

The Japan government has finally convinced it's population to start spending more of their money, rather than saving it, which has in the short term caused a little bit of inflation. Japan increased their money supply for two decades and had deflation during the period. I think Japan had two...

Herd animals:D

I think deflation would be best for me but governments, for their self-serving reasons, never want deflation.

The large expansion of the money supply alone may not result in high inflation. A fast expansion of the economy combined with increasing of interest rates generally accompany high inflation. I have yet to see any signs the economy is entering a period of a rapid expansion, rather only Obambo...

Yep, that is a tall mountain to climb. A change will require some support of the 49% who pay no federal income tax. I have noticed that even the R camp is now trying to win-over some support from the 49% group but that is like trying to get water to flow uphill.

Bambo took GM away from the share holders and gave GM to the GM workers at the expense of the high income US tax payers. Just part of Bambo's wealth redistribution policy (steal from those that have and give to those that have not).

+1 I can't stop laughing.:D

I think from the end of 2007, the TARP and quantitative easing was and still is all about bailing out and propping up a banking system that was near collapse with runs on the banks. I think many US banks are still hiding a heavy load of bad loans on their books; So, the easing goes on. I have...

There is low volatility with the fed continuing to hold the federal funds rate at 0 to 1/4 %; However, when the markets decide interest rates are headed higher, the US dollar will rise, the stock market will head south, and the volatility will soar.
