I predicted the NASDAQ crash at 4900 levels all the way to 1800 and lower...........this time around, it seems S&P500 might correct all the way to 1100 or so easily. This translates into 1500 for NASDAQ. There is also a lot of truth in the yearly performance of the major...

'Dress for success. Think like a four star general. Act like one (this will take some education, role models, mentors ,etc)' Agree to some extent but Dress for Success for me means $200 suits that look good not $900 Designer selections. Until and unless somebody flips them, no body can tell...

There is no better stress killer than living below the means, 'cause financial stress can be overwhelming, shameful and outright breaker of relationships. I am no big fan of $200 dinners for two or buying designer fashions when middle of the line might look just as good. Just pinning four...

In all fairness, this non english speaking general laborer got scammed and conned by mortgage broker, real estate agent and others who are well in the know in housing industry. But atleast this guy and his pal should have done basic maths to determine where they stand with $14K odd incomes and...

'Once the bank tightens their standard, and starts calling for payments based on the higher standard....Scary.' Many a times private equity firms like to own a firm in distress and then go around piling debt from banks/funds etc. and use the loan money to buy related businesses that are...

NASDAQ to 2250 before anything else like a rally possible.

'Anyway you cut it, the military spending is a hell of a lot cheaper than another 48 million dead in another WWII style war.' The US Military might is way ahead and superior to several major powers combined plus what is the probability that US will go to war against UK, Germany, France and...

'You have concept completely backwards' how come? these nations hold hundreds of billions of US debt which is a mere guarantee on paper. US dollar loses 25% purchasing power that means 25% of the debt has been forgiven or washed out. In Russia the currency devaluation resulted in people...

'In the end the astronomical defense spending over a long period of time is what did put the British Empire out of business.' Do not know exactly what caused the fall of British empire, but do tend to agree that US wastes a lot of money in the defense spending that is not needed. After 1991...

I would not agree to the fact that the current mess in Iraq is a NEOCON design of choice. They would not blow up 100s of billions for this drama with no end in sight. They wanted to overthrow Saddam, capture Iraqi oil and set up a post war Germany-Japan type example of Iraq presented to the...
