Agreed, the public works programs of the 30s did much to put America back to work during the depression. This is one reason why I stress THE solution for this economy to re-industrialize America. However, we are no longer a manufacturing economy, and cannot do the work of the 30s, unless the...

In general, the last two weeks rendered two of my systems unprofitable, and I was forced to develop new systems that got me back to profitable days. Time alone will tell if these last two weeks were the start of new price action patterns or just a news-induced fluke. In specific, perhaps your...

Do you really expect the people with the money and power to do anything in the interest of citizens except that which appears to be in the interest of citizens? Why would anyone expect more than just a show put on to keep the taxpayers paying?

I am watching the banking committee hearing live right now. Paulson is a turd, spouting politically-correct bullshit. This guy is not going to help the Treasury or the economy.

Already addressed. Tell debtors to forgive all, and re-industrialize America. Painful but effective. No other way.

Simon, with respect to your trading, I would not say you are stupid and uneducated, but ignorance on any given topic is not a function of intelligence. Ignorance is a lack of information. Gnome is quite correct in his summation of what is going on. It sounds like both Gnome and I have turned off...

I agree with you on both points... that both candidates are bozos and that the DOW will sink under 10,000 soon. I would have voted for 7,000, but it wasn't an option.

LOL Thanks, I almost forgot what trailer trash looked like. Put up some early 80s music video next time, eh?

We have no say in the matter. They're not asking. I do hope we get the expected correction down to 7,000. That is anticipated, or any bull market will be short-lived. Gotta let the market get to real value before we can expect the bulls to return. All else is just propping up the markets...

I don't care much for what foreigners say about our economy, but in this case I am listening to them because we are no longer the world's largest creditor nation, and have not been for decades. We are now the world's largest debtor nation, and that means we owe everyone. Thanks alot, globalism...

...more than $20 Trillion dollars. You forgot interest over the time to collect it.

Berny et al are solely to blame for our economy. Not Bush, not Hussein, not global warming. Part of being a professional is being honest enough to timely admit when a problem is over your head. The above quote indicates he has said that things are out of control. That means, to me, that we are...

Gnome, so far, I agree with almost every post you have made, that I have read anyway. Everytime the government screws around with the market, the next bottom will be that much harder, much like a parent who always bails the kid out of trouble. The kid never learns and winds up broke and in jail.

Can you name one time in US history when a government program to raise money for the citizens' use was more profitable than private industry? Links, please.

So let them bitch about it. They cannot bitch to their wives, who would throttle them worse than their ISP; they cannot bitch to their dogs, who would walk out on them; they cannot bitch to their friends who think he is this big & rich trader, who might think less of him for his indiscretion...

You forgot about the rest of us, the ones patient enough to wait this madness out until patterns materialize before we risk money. I know traders who have thrown caution to the wind these last two weeks, and as many of them went bust as prospered in that time. Not good odds. More like gambling...

Sorry to poke holes in your red balloon hothead, but I didn't lose any money to this fiasco, and I don't drink booze, it's stupid. Deal with that.

At about a minute into that clip, that girl looks like she is in the prone position ready to take it from behind. Hey, the market is closed, my mind wanders, get over it.

Fort Knox is empty. Newsflash.

No. If you want to scare yourself, keep reading to the part where in time of war or other national emergency (as defined by the President or Governor), the government can sieze all personal property for its own use without notice, explanation or compensation to the owners.
