    I escaped cuba to leave communism and now this!

    I have more of a chance of being the next President than Barack Hussein Obama, wonder why he always leaves the 'Hussein' part out :) And I'm not even American. Many in the media love him but they would wouldn't they. But I very much doubt you'll see the Nascar Dads voting for a black...

    In the UK if you went shopping to one of the big supermarkets for a general basket of food/goods/supplies this time last year and it cost you £100, the bill is now £115 to £120. Power prices going up round 10%+.

    House passes $516 billion bill for troops in Afghanistan

    But imagine a US that loses its guaranteed oil supply? How many trillions of $ would that cost the economy, how many 'american lives' would be lost in the homeland? Those are questions that the people complaining about the war never think about. I'm not for the war, but can understand that...

    House passes $516 billion bill for troops in Afghanistan

    A 1994 RAND publication, U.S. Nuclear Strategy for the Post-Cold War Era, noted: "The dependence of the West and Japan on Persian Gulf oil and the power and wealth that comes from controlling that oil guarantee the U.S. interest in that part of the world for as far into the future as anyone...

    Clinton rebuke mortgage lenders

    Politicians are just not going to clamp down on the banks/lenders because there's now no difference between governments and big business. In fact many would suggest that big businesses now pretty much own the governments. Financial service companies are (no surprise) the biggest...

    1000% hedge fund wins subprime bet

    If I was an investor in this fund I'd take ALL my money out as soon as I could. Just not possible to make these kinds of returns without taking on far too much risk. So all you suckers who are going about the results being fantastic, well, you have A LOT to learn. And with some of my...

    What are the best markets to sell options

    Sorry, but you deserve to be criticised for a very very naive question. There are no 'best' markets to sell option in because if they were everyone would have worked it out and sold premiums so low that the market in question now became the 'best' one to buy options in. My advice is very...

    War costs could reach $1.6 TRILLION

    If they say 'about double' then make that triple so $2.4trillion. The question to ask though is that a good investment to make to guarantee an oil supply to the US for say the next 20+ years? $120billion a year plus interest. If you think about it, yes it's good business. Maybe Bush...

    Citi: In Defense of Gary Crittenden

    So they didn't realise that the goal posts could be moved mid-game? What a joke, of course they all did, of course they all knew it was going to end in tears, it always does (the timing of course for the end is the hard part). but in the meantime how much have all these jokers made...

    Breaking News... Breaking News ? CNBC

    Yep, what happens when some real 'breaking news' happens. Pretty much the same on all news channels these days in all countries. Another 2 words that they all use pretty much all the time are 'history' and 'ever'. Same with American sports, everthing seems to be a 'new record' - like...
