    CIT shares halted last trade up 1.9% at $1.64

    Initial yawn, but this will effect the Financials, and I would expect DOW as a whole to retrace 200 points tomorrow.

    Goldman Sachs paid no Federal Taxes last year?

    GS and Paulson ought to be strung up by their short hairs. The Bush tax code strikes again !

    Health Care for Day Traders

    Not nearly enough. Let's say you come down with cancer or have a bad car accident, either of which could result in an extended hospital stay. You will eat that 3 MM up in a matter of months. After that, they'll go after your assets, to pay for the stay. There are a lot of chintzy policies...

    Health Care for Day Traders

    Dude, $ 3 MM in coverage is not enough, if you have an extended illness or need extensive hospitalization. They key to good coverage is how much you are covered for, for catastrophic reasons. Anyone, whether single or with family, should have an uncapped, unlimited hospitalization plan...

    The Actual Grail

    I never found RSI to be a consistent trading tool. I cannot really discern how you use it for trading, from the posts in this thread. If you can elaborate on your pseudo algorithm, it would be most appreciated.

    Another weird laptop issue

    If you are running an external mouse, do you have a mousepad area on your laptop ? If so, you are probably, on occasion, brushing your thumbs over this pad (maybe not touching it, but coming close to it - it can be very sensitive). As stated earlier, you need to do one of 3 things: 1)...

    dykstra declared bankruptcy.

    Dykstra, for those who don't remember, was a hard-nosed ballplayer, who had a limited IQ (at least, when he spoke). When I heard several years back that he was worth $ 60 MM, my jaw dropped. I mean, this guy was a bumbling idiot, when he was interviewed as a ballplayer. Well, apparently...

    Sell ES 931 Objective 780

    This is a no-brainer. NYSE Bullish % Index, which tells all, is very much in a bearish mode. Just need to follow it, to tell you when to cover.

    Krugman Warns Obama that He'll Face 1937 w/out More, Massive Stimulus

    Very, very well put. Falsely re-inflating the economy and assets, just pushes the problem (and it will be BIGGER) down to future generations. I'm really afraid to say that the only way out is to let the bubble fully deflate right now - yes, let the banks burn; yes, let AIG burn; yes, let the...

    Palin Resigns as Gov of Alaska

    I agree on most fronts. I think Obama is really rolliing the dice with his stiumulus package. He will either be hailed as a hero in 2012, or be out on his ass. I don't agree with his deficit spending spree, but I think he is obligated to do something, rather than letting market forces ferret...

    Palin Resigns as Gov of Alaska

    I love(d) Ron Paul, but he is so anti-Republican in terms of how the party currently works, that he'd never get endorsed. Paul would need to start an independent grass-roots movement as an Independent. However, I think he's 72, so his age will probably eliminate him from any future contention.

    Palin Resigns as Gov of Alaska

    Specualtion that she will focus full-time on her efforts for the 2012 Presidential Bid: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_palin_resigning If she gets the Republican nod in 2012, this guarantees Obama the Presidency through 2016. It would be extremely sad to think that Palin is the best the...

    How to perform an external data backup?

    I use Ghost (Version 14) and do an image backup to multiple external drives. By multiple, what I mean is, I do a full backup each week, and rotate among my various external drives from week-to-week.

    •Home-Loan Delinquencies Double on Least-Risky Mortgages, U.S. Report Says

    Not only are thing deteriorating as stated above, but 60 Minutes did an expose a number of months back, that outlined that a new, fresh wave of rate adjustments (yes, even with rates as low as they are) are slated to hit the market in early 2010, on adjustable rate mortgages. This rate...

    The 2nd Great Depression - History never repeats...

    Politics aside, the spending spree is akin to plugging the dike with crazy glue. It will alleviate the major problem for the short-term, but the structural problem will remain, and be exacerbated down the road. I see the stock market stuck in this range for a bit, before we see another major...
