OK, and since the Obama administration undisputedly wants to increase the size of government, which of those increased government services are you going to export? * Cap and Trade regulation and oversight? * National health care regulation? * Acorn - getting out the vote? * A new...

Pretty realistic. But gotta admit - hardly blood in the streets now- just the opposite. The government is gonna give everybody what they want for free. "But wait, there's more. If you call right now, we're gonna save the planet too". Like the lady said, let 'em eat cake. My wild guess, S&P...

Jeez, there are probably a couple of thousand stocks that doubled since the March lows. And this guy is turning bullish (or less bearish now)? I remember seeing this guy. I think he teaches college courses.

Deflation now, for sure. House prices down, wages down, (no stopping in the U.S). But the heavily leveraged governments we have cannot take the deflation pressure. Only relief for them is massive inflation. Also, nobody is gonna want to sell their commodities, except at rising prices. Longer...

Just to add, the difference between 365 day hold and 366 day hold is completely arbitrary. This is set up to help old guys like Buffet. If you own a stock for 5 minutes, you are an investor, and if you get your ass kicked, you earned every penny of the loss. Same as when you have a gain. You...

The whole taxation of stocks (all investments) comes from it all being classified as "unearned income". Meaning that if you make money from investments, (all cap gains, divs, etc) you are just a lazy-azzed bastard, compared to a blue color worker. So, there is no debate, just send the money...

Gotta agree with most. Santelli is a breadth of fresh air. Occasionally, a few other intelligent comments slip through. Mark Haines did a smack down with Rep Barney Frank a few weeks ago. Rep. Frank accused Haines of asking contradictory questions, then ended the interview with Haines. The...

This is a good report. The Congressman who is committe chair (Darrell Issa) seems to be quite the bombthrower. Just a week or two ago, he dragged Bernanke in to answer questions. Issa didn't get very far with it. This report looks to be fully fact based. Washington lit the fire that brought...

How many bank robbers run BACK into the bank, and say "Gimme More"? All this money is going right out the back door, into the trunk of somebody's car. The people in this country are dumb as a box of rocks. But I like poetic flair: "discuss crafting another stimulus". It makes it sound like...

Oh, yeah, GM has a monopoly on autos and trucks. And IBM has a monopoly on PCs and PC software. And AT&T has a monopoly on land-based and wireless phones. Companies can't make you buy their stuff. And companies that do create monopolies for themselves usually loose them in the next...

Barry Soetoro was his legal name when he was adopted by his Indonesian father, and was a legal resident/citizen of Indonesia. There is no indication that he ever legally changed his name back to Barack Obama, or if he ever re-applied for U.S. Citizenship (or proof that he ever was a U.S. citizen...

No question about it, this mileage tax will be in addition to the excise tax. In direct sales, it's called "plus business". Look somebody's gotta pay for these Air Force One shopping trips to Paris. Oh, yeah, the Obama kids need new sweaters. Doubters need to go shopping for a bridge in...

Printing on paper is not the problem. The problem is that the junk content that they write is not competitive with robust discussions available on line. The WSJ, probably others sell online edition. I used to buy WSJ myself, gave up. It is junk as well. the "newspapers" had a monopoly as...

The stupid main stream media pull a cheap trick when they demonize individual persons. It is a bad habit to fall for the trick. The only way to view this historic events is in the context of idiologies. You know, we don't live in a monarchy, yet.

Well, that's true, the Great Society liberal agendas of the mid 1960's ushered in a massive bear. Same with the New Deal liberal agenda of the 1930's. Both of these are pretty much still intact, and place solid upper boundries on how high equities can go. They aslo provide the springboard for...

Yes, the stock market topped out late summer of 2007. This was about 6 months after Reid and Pelosi took over. Furthermore, in June of 2008, the S&P was 1400. That is when obama won the last of the democratic primaries. Seven months later, when he was sworn in, the market was 50% lower...

I'd rather have no new ideas, rather than obama's ideas, like this one. On our present 6 month glide path with obama, our economy will be devasted in just a few years. And keep in mind that most major wars have financial issues at their core. Oh, yes, "the One" has many more calamities in store...

These people were investors first. Investors hoping for unrealistically high returns. So in that sense, they were really speculators. It didn't work out. Sure this guy is a crook, but the folks who are out the capital have to take some responsibility too. It's called greed - the reason they...

Hopefully your trading is good, because your botany stinks. But this type of thinking is key to the global "warming" // CO2 scam. Fact is, 90% of all CO2 worldwide is absorbed (photosynthesized), not by trees or grass, but type microscopic aquatic plants called phytoplankton. Most species are...

This is a stupid thread. Who cares how many traders from XYZ blew up. Fact is, good traders are born, they are not made. So in that sense, some of the MW books is nonsense. If it is inside you, you will find out. Otherwise, keep your stupid mouth shut. It is a big world out there. Everybody...
