    Will you buy timmay's hedge fund book?

    Honestly, Sandra out of anyone in that show actually tried to give us quotes and educate us. She comes across as a hard working and honest person. The rest were doing it for TV.

    Would you invest in FACEBOOK IPO?

    I don't know why Facebook didn't sell out when they had the chance, now the growth period is over. What do they expect, to charge everyone 50 cents for each profile they view? I'm talking to my friends and they're dropping their account, for various reasons. At first they're blinded by the...

    Fiat currency and fractional reserve banking

    Rather the money is backed by the confidence we have in it to buy future assets. The same could be said about gold, gold is a store of value because others perceive it as so. Gold in itself is not that useful. When money is backed by gold it says that each bill can be converted into a...

    Fiat currency and fractional reserve banking

    Please consider this example: A bank borrows money from the central bank at 3% because business conditions are good. Say they borrow 100 million. Money is being created. It then loans 80 millions to the public at 5%. The other 20 million is required reserves. If there was a bank run...

    What is the chances Wednesday is an up day?

    It's probably going to be too volatile to say up or down, or it's going to be down. So down.

    Fiat currency and fractional reserve banking

    I was just thinking about this, why would a central bank and local banks use fractional reserve banking when they use a fiat currency, such as in the case of the US and most countries. The money is created out of thin air, why isn't every dollar deposited matched 1:1 with a dollar at the bank or...

    The investigation began after a professor found similarities in answers to a take-home exam. In an appeal filed last week, Ekstrand said honor code violations were mostly minor and unintentional and questioned why some possibly exculpatory evidence was not given to students before the appeals...

    Cramer: putting his nephew out to roast.

    A lot of what Cramer says is just weird. The media is pushing the credit card cutting, saving attitude? Yeah.. they're certainly doing that. I have a feeling he's making stuff up as he goes.

    Best Thing for U.S. Economy: Raise Taxes

    I don't want that either but it's an idea worth entertaining. Look at the EU, one of the reasons they came together was because they wanted to be competitive internationally. The US is a very diverse country that's huge. Why has the US become a world super power in the 20th century? In part...

    What Hydroblunt and Allen both bring is that businesses have options, they can close down shop and search areas of better profitability. In the global marketplace you're going to have politicians try to attract jobs any way possible. Hydroblunt also talks about small businesses keeping the...
