    Building a TradeEngine, need syntax advice!

    If the fruit of your labor is going to only benefit yourself, what causes you to believe that the opinion of the public is useful? The feedback loop is incomplete. If you're just looking for coding style advice, always do what you find easiest and most natural. Don't overthink in advance.

    Deflation followed by hyperinflation is coming.

    Elaborate, please. How much more easing can we get from where we are now? Can the interest rate literally go negative?

    Safe route or roll the dice?

    I am being laid off, I will be eligible for unemployment as soon as I get my pink slip. I don't need even need to burn a bridge. A summer off has great appeal. How many weeks of unemployment can I get these days? :D

    Safe route or roll the dice?

    The idea is to create some app, any app, something silly that can capture the attention of the masses long enough to get some good download stats. Free of course, for maximum exposure. Use that to springboard my resume to the top of the pile of an actual company that makes apps as a business...

    Safe route or roll the dice?

    My current employer is closing their doors. I've got one maybe two more paychecks coming. Without even looking, I received a new job offer. Sounds great, it's basically the same job at the same pay. Part of me says jump at it; this economy is no time to be unemployed. The other part of me...

    World War 3 is it coming?

    Who is going to fight who in WW3? I don't see any good enemies forming yet. China, Russia and the US will play a part by definition of size; it won't be a real "world war" unless we are all in it. China has enough people and land and natural resources already that they don't need any more...

    UNBELIEVABLE!!!!Oil, gas leaking from cap on ruptured well

    If they could bolt a cap on it, why could they not bolt on a new section of pipe, run it up to the surface and just start harvesting the crude as per normal? If that well casing breaks free of the bore and shoots out like the drill string did, there's a good chance that hole will never be...

    Options Traders' Ranks Swell as Amateur Investors Embrace `Iron Condors'

    If buying an Iron Condor is a sucker bet, sell one instead. Both sides of a trade can not simultaneously be bad.

    Economics of A startup Company Looking For Money.

    Speed Over Greed I worked in the Silicon Valley during the internet boom, and this was the mantra. A start-up is the highest of risk, highest of reward opportunity out there, aside from illegal drugs. The goal is to knock one out of the park in very short timeframe, not assure yourself a...

    83 percent of all U.S. stocks are in the hands of 1 percent of the people.

    I'm not sure that you or the article are drawing the correct conclusions from the data. Check the 1st slide. From 1962 to 2001, the bottom 40% saw a 500% increase in wealth, the middle 20% saw a 900% increase, while the top 1% had only a 36% increase. The chart clearly shows that the top 1%...

    More Americans Credit Scores In The Tank

    I did refi mortgages for a while, and some people just couldn't wrap their heads around a credit score. FICO looks only at credit, your borrowing habits and repayment habits; not your job (that's revenue), not how you balance your checkbook (that's how you manage your cash), or anything else...

    More Americans Credit Scores In The Tank

    The Fair Isaac corporation has hundreds of millions of data points that prove their formula correct. What may seem arbitrary to you and me, all of the "hey that's not fair" kind of stuff that you mention, they don't put in there to randomize their results. All of it has a basis in statistical...

    “an imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all repub

    Investing. Are we on the same page that investing is a unilaterally good thing? And I mean real investing; starting a business that will employ real people. Research and development. Maybe finding the cure for cancer, maybe inventing the next iPad, maybe selling a better cup of coffee. I say all...
