    Barack Obama Wants Your Money As You Tumble From The Fiscal Cliff

    Pretty lame. The OP at least had a little style to it.

    Barack Obama Wants Your Money As You Tumble From The Fiscal Cliff

    Are we headed for a much larger market crash than 08

    Alex Jones???????!!!!!!!????? Oh man, anyone who believes a word from his piehole deserves to be parted from his money. Not that there would be any suspense about it, it'd happen anyway. A fool and his money will always be parted regardless, the only question is the timing.

    What the rest of the world thinks...........

    You're naive beyond words about the market, as you well know. Why are you trying to talk smack to anyone about their performance?

    The 2012 Republican national convention

    Just watched Eastwood's speech. I thought it was excellent, actually. The finish with the "Make my day" thing was perfect. Of course, I do have a big soft spot for the guy, having grown up on his movies when I was a kid, but still. I didn't see most of the rest of the convention, but I did...

    FACT CHECK: Ryan takes factual shortcuts in speech

    Simply, he was pointing out stuff like the simple fact the Internet came out of gov't research. That, and stuff like this: 119 days to start a business in Brazil, 6 in the US, on average. Obvious if you're not a political operative; it's a pretty non-controversial point outside of the...

    Bystanders Shot at Empire State Building Were Hit by Police

    A lot of those people were hit by fragments from bullets that were ricocheting around. NYC is crowded. No way that's not going to happen. Simple common sense. As for gun owners not hitting the "wrong" person: considering how many people with a gun in the house wind up using it to kill...

    Pentagon denounces politics of attack ad

    This is beyond pathetic. If those guys actually run those stupid ads after Labor Day, when it counts, all they'll do is remind everyone about Osama. How is that a good thing for the Republican chicken hawks? It's very simple: Obama got him. Bush didn't. End of story.

    will cancelling the mortgage deduction crash the housing market

    Not too much disagreement between us. 1 - Brokers competing away the add'l commish would be a recent development, since they only started competing on price a few years ago. Not sure the excess has all been competed away. 2 - Do you disagree about homebuilders? They're certainly getting a...

    More than 500 economists, 5 Nobel laureates back Romney’s economic strategy

    Huh? Mainstream Republicans are falling like flies to these guys. Their problem is they rarely win a general, only the primary. Same pattern as the ones who used to be backed by the Club for Growth (actually that group is probably backing the same candidates as the Tea Party folks). Elections...

    will cancelling the mortgage deduction crash the housing market

    That deduction's been around for as long as I've been alive, anyway, so I'm not sure what group you're referring to. Actually, it helps homebuilders and real estate agents. The former get higher prices from the getgo, and the latter get higher commish amounts. Both contribute lavishly to all...

    VXX a good buy at current levels?

    I've been sharing my little bit of knowledge, and he attended a CBOE seminar and has been reading up a lot on all this. Of course he'll paper trade first, especially since the IB interface ain't TOS by a long shot. So, he'll be approaching it sanely. Not that that doesn't mean he won't blow up...

    VXX a good buy at current levels?

    ...which was probably more expensive... College is 50k a year, you know. 10k is cheap.

    VXX a good buy at current levels?

    Funded an IB account for my son with the specific purpose of getting at those VIX futures (I'm at TOS, which only has the options). Not a big deal if he blows up; all he has to do is last 'til January so's I can gift him w/another 10k tax free to replenish it. Of course, if it turns out he...
