    US taps pension fund to avoid passing debt limit

    yeah it's highly unlikely we'd default... paying back in devalued currency on the other hand is extremely probable. i feel sorry for anyone who is actually planning on holding the last few auctions of 30 year bonds to maturity.

    just wait til we break that yield trendline and get ready to get short. it'll cross 0% in the ty in just a handful of years so the entry is coming up! i know i'll be leaning short on all of my spreads once that happens.

    Should I go to college before becoming a trader?

    don't go to college unless you are getting a math / science related major. i don't care if you are on a full ride scholarship 99% of liberal arts degrees are worthless. if you are going to try trading you should also be prepared to fail since as much as 90%+ of traders do fail, so i'd think...

    Trading Like A Hedge Fund

    i have only watched the first half of the first episode- so far they aren't doing any hedging whatsoever. their definition of "trading like a hedge fund" seems to be limiting themselves to no more than 20% concentration in a stock upon entry.

    Where do we Invest in 2012 and beyond????

    the only reason "inflation is nowhere to be found" is because the numbers factor in housing prices (which are inflated to no end) into these numbers... if you already own, or have no intention of buying then housing prices don't matter and inflation beyond housing is 7%+ being generous. get...

    Why are Bond Funds and Treasury Funds dropping right now?

    there is no way in hell i'd be caught dead with a bond fund like the one's you listed anytime soon. if you "must" invest in bonds figure out what your actual time frame is and just buy bonds of that duration and eat the low % yield. so if your time frame is 3-5 years buy bonds of 3-5 years and...

    College isn't just "not worth it", unfortunately, it's a negative.

    going to college is worth it if you: A- get a real major (math/science/computer prog) AND B- get in-state tuition at a state school or C- get into a top 10 private school people who go to run-of-the-mill private schools and don't get real majors are doomed to regret their decision...

    we just need to build a space elevator, then we can fling all the waste towards the sun (or away whatever) and we don't have to worry about it at all... until it lights up alien sensors and they come and pillage us. but i'll take that chance.

    Rents rise, rise and rise. Highest since 2007!!

    just don't buy in the next couple of years because since housing prices are still dropping if you rent for the next 5 years and buy then vs buying today you'll be in better shape 20 years out if you wait 5 years from now.
