I'm in agreement with a lot of the folks on here. While I am unhappy with MS bloatware - and have felt that they should offer a non-backwardly compatible version of their software for years to allow for fresh starts - I am not too keen on allowing google, inc. to 'Learn' from the mass of data...

Oh, I see you've met my kids too.

Some nice facts, thanks for the post.

IMHO, and this is an opinion that is based more upon gut feel than anything else, the carnage is really going to start as of november as the fall selling season ends. I see homes that have been on the market for over a year in my (once) high-end neighborhood, reduced several times & now being...

Dry run for bigger stuff. Training excercise.

*chuckle* Why do you think Obama would never consider Hillary as his running mate! Self preservation....

Geez. That call was almost legendary - WHY would you risk amazing credibility with a second reiteration? I mean, you were right. Everybody saw it and knew it. Coast. Everything to lose and nothing to gain.

Considering that the $4 cinnabon has sufficient calories to feed a human being for a day, it might become the food of choice for mall-rat withdrawlees reduced to window-shopping: CINNABON CARAMEL PECANBON 1,100 calories, 141g carbs, 8g protein, 56g fat Add extra frosting for extra...

So marked. God help us all if you're right. JPM? Not unless its armageddon.

Jurik research used to market indicators 'to get the lag out'. Never used them but heard favorable opinions from some. Anyone here have any current experience with them?

Its cute to be coy, but something tells me that survival is not a spectator sport. One of those cases of 'be careful what you wish for'...

Most distressing.

What, worried about flat returns for the next 10 years? Buy at 9500, sell at 10500. Go short 10500 buy 9500. Repeat ad infinitum. Sounds like a dream scenario to me (if it cycles quickly enough). Would that I had such foreknowledge....

OK. Let me see here. Gold is going to go to the moon, right? But you want me to defend it at 800, right? But if it is going higher, wouldn't I want it to fall as low as possible so I could scoop up as much as possible before it goes to the moon? Hmm. I like my plan better.

On NBC's Meet the Press this morning. Brokaw asked Paulson if he would be willing to stay on into the next administration. The segue was that it had been reported that Paulson had met with Obama. Brokaw: "There's been a lot of speculation that you may stay on with the next administration...

Just got back from NYC this weekend where I was talking to a bond trader friend of mine, who is at one of the majors. He used to kid me about my doom and gloom pessimism, etc... now we're trading notes about which banks are most likely to fail. Once this stuff starts hitting the mainstream...

Oh, that's cold!!!! And orlando isn't so bad. September - May. The rest of the time, its a lot like miami. just without any air circulation. Disney has increased # of hotels on site which are killing the mom/pop motels on US 192. Hotel workers and their families shacking up in them...

good read. Thanks for posting. LB is the real deal. I'm in the camp with gnome. While it would be better to allow deflation to occur, TPTB won't permit that. Deflation followed by inflation which goes awry into hyperinflation. I mean, can you think of an environment where if you only...

logitech MX 518 here also. Like it very much. Have used trackballs (not thumballs, but trackballs) in the past and like them but there are really few good trackballs on the market currently. Anyone have one they like that has a scroll wheel and is comfortable to the wrist without hyper...

To everyone who contributed to the thread, thank you. There is much good wisdom here. For what its worth, I think of myself as a small mammal in the time of the end of the dinosaurs' age - scurrying around on the ground, not large enough to be considered prey - but still capable of being...
