    CME/CBOT Seat Leases -Why have they just dropped in value?

    its all based on volume- the more volume the more players have an incentive to lease seats because they'll save money. as volume drops the number of interested parties also drops so the price drops. if volume continues to drop expect the price of a lease to continue to drop.

    New American Dream is Renting;

    maybe 10-15 years out you won't be underwater, but it's a way better deal to wait a few more years right now and buy it say 3-4 years from now than to buy it now. if you buy a property today vs buying it in 4 years and then fast forward to year 15 i think that the person who waited to buy until...

    Breakdown in Gold is imminent!

    so when (if) rather than hitting 1k / oz gold hits 10k/oz what do you think the gold/silver ratio will be? unless gold gets pegged at some arbitrary 100:1 ratio i think it'll get much closer to 10:1. why buy gold when you can buy silver which is still at almost half of nominal highs let along...

    New American Dream is Renting;

    1 in 2 new graduates are jobless or underemployed

    maybe i'm wrong about that- but my wife's outstanding grad school loans less than 10% are stafford- which is the real point i was trying to make.... this is simply going for headlines it isn't really going to help out all that much for anyone who is deeply indebted from school. if you only have...

    1 in 2 new graduates are jobless or underemployed

    the only loans they are going to help out are the stafford (sp?) loans that are subsidized for poor people. i feel bad for all the people who didn't get a real major in school- i'm telling my little brother to do engineering, physics, chemistry or math.

    Im coming to ET tonight to tell you to buy GLD (GOLD) and the miners

    why buy gold when you can buy silver... buy silver -> no stop / loss = free money edit: actually the best is just get all of your money in pennies or nickels. pennies- assuming a 1/3 - 2/3 ratio of copper - zinc is about a 20% instant profit nickels- 5% instant profit with 0% chance of a...
